What makes you conclude the 60-90 day time frame?It’s encouraging to see automation requirements for the quad motor. Supports a few things:
- high enough production volumes to support automation> hand-builds
- parts availability to support quad effectivity so final production is eminent (60-90 days)
- unique sub component availability that differentiates quad from tri/duals![]()
- Parts build up / inventory concerns as they won’t build inventory on a bespoke part as it is obviously the tentpole long lead item in the BOM.What makes you conclude the 60-90 day time frame?
Interesting thought but that would be surprising as motors are pretty expensive.Would the quad cost significantly more to produce than a tri once they ramp production?
If they can get the cost of the quad similar I could see them selling quads but software locked to a tri performance and marketed as a Tri. Than allow the user to purchase a $10k upgrade post purchase.
I think I remember hearing before that Tesla barely had any extra cost producing a Plaid vs non plaid.
