“One Day I’m Buying One.” —Toyota Camry Driver After Channeling Tesla Model 3’s Torque (Video)

I love the smile on this man’s face. He is simply delighted due to his Model 3’s consummate acceleration/performance.

Nick Phan smiled as he noticed a Toyota Camry challenge his Model 3 while moving stoplight to stoplight. He smiled some more and then applied that easy touch that provides the utmost amount of torque — instantly. Phan whizzed ahead. The Toyota owner stopped by his side, eventually. They both laughed and exchanged their mutual validation of the Model 3’s easy performance.

Phan used his rear dashcam feed in the video to help capture how far the Camry was left behind as he encouraged his Tesla’s intense, smooth, forceful instant movement. The Toyota owner shared that he was delighted as well with the Tesla’s performance and said agreeably, “One day I’m buying one.”

His passenger laughed, as he emphasized and repeated, “One day I’m buying one!”

What a way to start or end the day. No conflict. Simply performance.

As Iqtidar Ali from X Auto pointed out: “The superb performance of the car, the superior acceleration of the Model 3 over the ICE Camry instantly diminishes all the false beliefs about electric cars. If anyone argues in favor of the deprecated ICE cars, show them the above video and share the reactions in the comments section below.”

Cleaner air is my issue. Yet who can not enjoy the smile of this man. Apparently, performance affects the heart positively. That is as valuable as environmental wellness sometimes. The more joy of performance, the wider the scope of the transition to these innovative, safe, and technically superb vehicles.

I venture to guess the Camry driver will come to enjoy his choice of Tesla at some point.

Details About Tesla Gigafactory 4 Emerge In German Press

Over the weekend, details about the new Tesla Gigafactory 4 near Berlin began to emerge. According to Deutsche Welle, the new factory, which will also manufacture battery packs, will be located in the town of Grünheide in the German state of Brandenburg. It says the total investment in the factory will come to about $4.4 billion — about double what the new factory in China cost. The project will be eligible for up to $330 million in subsidies if they are approved by the European Union.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2020 — about a year after Gigafactory 3 in China began — and the first cars should be rolling off the assembly line in 2021, reports Bloomberg. The first cars built in China emerged just 10 months after construction of the factory began. In its most recent earnings letter, Tesla said it expected the first German-built cars to be on the road in 2021, but there’s a good chance Elon Musk has other plans.

The Brandenburg state government is delighted to have Tesla build its new factory there. It expects Gigafactory 4 to provide 3,000 new jobs initially, and as many as 8,000 in later years as it expands. Deutsche Welle says the first production line will be devoted to building the Model Y crossover/SUV, with an annual production goal of 150,000 vehicles. How many production lines will ultimately be in operation there or when production of the Model 3 sedan will begin is not known at this time. Brandenburg is a renewable energy leader in Germany, with many wind turbines dotting its landscape, something that was likely a factor in Tesla’s decision to build its newest factory there.

Carsten Brönstrup, a spokesperson for UVB, an association that represents the interests of a large number of companies in Berlin and Brandenburg, tells Deutsche Welle Tesla’s announcement was a big thing. “It’s magnificent; it’s like Christmas coming early for our region. The region is not particularly known for its strong industry, so getting a Gigafactory will push future-oriented technologies such as battery production and autonomous driving.”

We have been dizzy lately with the pace of Volkswagen’s push into electric cars, but the decision by Tesla to build its next factory in Germany has really set the fox among the chickens. The electric car revolution is about to reach critical mass and will overwhelm the deniers, doomsayers, and detractors soon, leaving them floundering in its wake.

The Brandenburg state government told news agency DPA that at least 3,000 people could be employed at the factory, and that the number of employees could rise up to 8,000 after an expansion.

Construction on the massive project is slated to begin in the first three months of 2020, with the plant expected to be up and running by the end of 2021.

Video Predicts Blockbuster Tesla Cybertruck But Misses Crucial Point

Reliability is key in the pickup truck market and Tesla, unfortunately, still lacks it. One lesson journalism gives us is that you cannot report things as you wanted them to be. You have to report them as they are. Especially if you intend to foresee something based on that information. That is especially evident in… Continue reading Video Predicts Blockbuster Tesla Cybertruck But Misses Crucial Point
