- Franz von Holzhausen has been Tesla's chief designer since 2008. CNBC got a rare interview with him at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, which recently opened a new Tesla exhibit. He was a lead designer on the Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y as well as the Cybertruck, Tesla Semi truck and the second generation Roadster. Prior to Tesla, he worked in design at Mazda, General Motors, and Volkswagen. He speaks to CNBC about what it is like to have Elon Musk as a boss, what happened with the glass shattering windows at the Cybertruck unveil, and what is next for auto design.

Tesla’s Chief Designer On The Cybertruck And Working With Elon Musk
This is another thing about tesla - their product presentations are not done by pre recorded adverts produced by an advertising agency making a video - instead you get the actual designers and engineers like Franz up on stage with the CEO doing product releases with live audiences and answering questions etc. It seems very open and honest it's a good way to do things and gives recognition and credit to the engineers and other people making the products.
Always feels more like an event than a presentation.
You see people next to the product.
I’m not a Musk, Tesla fanboy per se, but I appreciate any competition and innovation to established norms.
Good
Aren't everyone doing that? I do believe Steve Jobs basically fathered this for instance...Apple, MS and just about everyone else are doing similar things.
@@mickeynygaard Some of them do - apple was well known for it. It's good if your a market leader with a very compelling product. Tesla put everything into the product and certainly are the market leader.
Have you heard of a little company called apple? Lol
There is something new that's coming. He clearly said, "my best design is the one that's coming. I can't talk about it"
He's probably referring to the 25k model they are working on I think Elon said that would be announced next year at some point
He’s said once in a podcast, he has an idea of what a vehicle would look like when the industry goes full autonomy and removes the driver.
Definitely the RoboTaxi.
Yeah, right... and my biggest flaw is that I'm perfectionist...
@@Techblaze21654 my guess is this new design, the more affordable Tesla, rolls out of the Pepsi semi at Thursdays unveiling. Might take away from Pepsi, but that’s my guess. Model ?
So good to see a mainstream interview with Franz. Tesla is so much more than Elon.
Why do you think in first place that Tesla is Elon? Serious question as a shareholder and a long-time Tesla fan, and as a Tesla owner.
Elon has always given Franz absolutely all the credit for designs in every single interview, podcast and there's gigaton of interviews and news articles also. As far as I see from all possible media (which is not second hand trash media), Elon has always, ALWAYS given credit for Tesla teams and inviduals where credit is due.
I love how everyone is suddenly anti Elon musk after the twitter purchase but were all riding his massive bandwagon before that. Truly shows how people can only think about one thing at a time
@@sundflux I agree, so I should rephrase that the "perception" is Tesla is Elon. pretty much all the big interviews or presentations we see about tesla comes from Elon. All I was trying to say was, it's good to see a "mainstream" interview with someone other than Elon.
They even used SpaceX tech in the new roadster.
You don't see space companies collaborating with car companies often.
@@KrisL83 to whom? don't follow leftist shitmedia. my perception is 98% positive. same for the people around me (intelligent investors, engineers and business people). escape the matrix
CNBC posting a good video for once?? Wow.
Good interview
I’m impressed
...fluff piece.
Where was living when Fox News trashed him 24/7.?
They have to a couple times a year to prevent a deserved mass exodus
They should be attacking MUSK! for bringing free speech to twitter!
I think a lot of their videos on different topics are pretty well done and informative. most of them are so dry you can't even find a political angle. this honestly felt more like a fluff piece than most
I love when people have the guts to do and try something different
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should though...
@@otockian james dyson did
Do it or talk about it? I hear a lot of talking about the cyber truck, but I don't see any driving around. It feels real good to talk about things.
@@rickybobby7276 ey! Elon talked for 7 years, accepting peoples cash, before he delivered on his first car ever that wasn't a Lotus RC car 😂😂
@@AmrothPalantir Yea, but now he has the infrastructure built for EV's. Why is it taking him so long?
Not often that i realy like a CNBC video - especialy on Tesla... Realy nice. Open, unbiased, friendly, not offensive, no agenda... putting the humanity of the interviewee in the center. Great, thanks a lot. More like this, please.
I was waiting for the hits on Trump, opps I mean Musk, where are they!
She really try hard at the first 2 questions to see if there is issue with Elon Mask as managing Tesla. Too direct for beginning of interview
I agree completely. No agenda. Very surprising. Does this mean that CNBC is changing? We'll see
@@Fighter4Street Why is Elon Musk and Trump equated so often? To me they're radically different people. And I have no idea what Trump really believes (except self-preservation) where as Elon's beliefs are pretty clear. What attributes do they share?
@@Muskar2 The attributes are 95% of the media are out to get both of them and I read 98% negative hit pieces on them. A political party is going after both of them like no one else. Just go to CNN and you will see ever article is a hit piece against Musk. Remember, they could easily say that Musk is going to change twitter and allow everyone a voice and how Elon Musk has turned every company he purchased/started to gold. Instead they are so negative at him to the point I keep hearing from people that Trump never had a successful business, Elon Musk only purchased businesses from other people. I mean its just delusional how you can believe any of these things when both are billionares and have successful businesses. MUSK & TRMP = enemy #1 to a certain political party.
Hey that's me @1:39 !
The man, the myth, the legend himself! Cool to see ya here, can't wait to see your take on this interview in a later video (I imagine anyway haha). Thanks for all the great content and we'll see you on the next one!
Ha!
Whoa, quality content from CNBC? I’m here for this haha. What a great interview with Franz. Seems like a great person to be around!
It's hard to not make quality content when you're CNBC in a non political space and here's why: 1) They have enough influence so they can interview anyone, just ask and you'll get an interview with the top guys at Tesla, unlike smaller outlets. 2) They have enough money for good equipment such as cameras, mics, video editors, etc. to put together a high production value video, and 3) They have enough money to do market research and figure out what people actually wanna hear. So your end result is something people want to se that not only gets made, but gets made well. When there's any hint of politics though, all journalistic integrity goes out the window and CNBC becomes about as bad if not worse than CNN or Fox.
It’s a low key dig at Elon. The only reason they bothered to even make this interview
@@justingolden21 the running joke for CNBC is 'CNBS' because they push out a bunch of crap, straight up lies at times. That's interesting that you think they are in the middle and not political (not true at all of a ton of their content). This content was quality, which is nice though.
Probably your best show ever. Thanks for not spinning everything Tesla does in a bad light👍🇳🇴
I agree, the positive spin is a refreshing change!
Bro it's not spun in a negative light, Tesla is going to fail if Musk continues to wake ppl up to the real him. Positively spinning the narrative is straight up lying also electric cars are not the future they are Not sustainable. He talks about autonomous driving which just a month ago killed two people in NY and is not even working on Tesla. Tesla is going down. Musk is a Idiot.
It was nice to just ask normal questions. Tesla support is sooooo bimodal. Either super fanboy Elon can do no wrong or almost hatred of Cybertruck/Tesla/Elon.
They’ve truly done some radical awesome unique innovation. It just makes so much sense to have a metal truck. Trucks being electric having all that torque available from the onset makes sense.
Innovative competition amongst these companies is just about always better for us the consumer.
Franz is a legend because of his work at Tesla, he's basically the rockstar of car design in this current age
Lol you musk fanboys are truly pathetic
Tesla vehicles are not attractive and the cybertruck is the worst looking vehicle I've seen in a long time. It's still vaporware after 3 years so hopefully they show some humility and fix the design.
@@LigerSupremacy Yeah they are so ugly they only sell millions of them...the VW Beetle was considered ugly and look how many of them were sold. With a design approved by Adolph Hitler.
That’s crazy cause the car design hasn’t changed at all in years. They also look like something an NPC would drive in a near future video game or movie.
Please do not forget where he came from: Mazda.
Franz is Legendary... and the best is yet to come!
One of his cars from the past - Pontiac Solstice.
@@rlsedition yah that was a good one 👍
@@Geebvs On vehicles, Elon promises much but delivers less than expected.
@@rlsedition lol, he literally promises less and delivers more. not talking about production hell, but how tesla unlocked more range and performance than promised with a software update.
@@shahan484 He delivers more on software, but where's the Cybertruck?
Kudos CNBC, awesome video!
Thank you for having a positive interview. It gets annoying seeing mainstream media always go for the clickbait negative articles/interviews. I really enjoyed this interview.
Wait is is clickbait that he hangs out with anti semites and calls racism free speech? Free speech doesn’t mean you’re absolved of consequences.
BUT
according to how you all are commenting, you feel that money is all that matters. So as long as he innovates in your minds , that makes everything he does outside of his work excusable cus you hope to have that kind of freedom one day. But I’m the process so many people get hurt… when did you learn to become ok with that?
@@LafemmebearMusic this is an interview with Tesla's designer. The "he"' here isn't Elon Musk.
Franz, Thank you for being courageous enough to uniquely approach innovative design in such a profound way. Blessings!
🤣 get off Elon's dik.
@@freeffree4133 Godbless
The cars look like a bland version of every other luxury car. Possibly the worst design
@@dimarcodrahgi5866 I respectfully disagree. I do think the minimalist design definitely is not everyone's choice but I really respect to efficiency of the design, I don't care what it looks like at all. It might go to a million miles !
@@stonesonfire minimalist sleek sharp lines are not what I would call generic egg shaped Teslas.
Great interview, its is refreshing to see CNBC acknowledging Tesla's undeniable and incredible accomplishments rather than the biased FUD we are used to seeing
Frank is a great guy! Knowing that Elon sought him out says a lot about Elon too!
I always thought the Model S and 3 looked a lot like Mazda 6 and 3. Now I know why.
Yup!
They're both Skyactiv!
Model S is Ian Callum's classic 2006 Jaguar XK big sports sedan design, perfected. Nicer than the Audi A7.
Nice work Franz and cnbc! This is the best video I’ve ever seen on this channel
Like no other, Musk, Holzhausen and team are building a company that's the envy of many around the world. No advertising necessary. Their introduction to products comes directly from their people who speak from the heart. Design and engineering is executed with the user in mind. And like he said, the model S design is still modern and fresh, 14 years in! No need to redesign every couple years. They've removed massive legacy costs with all these efficiencies. Brilliant.
Franz is the man.
Excellent interview. I would like to see more interviews with Tesla execs and workers. Tesla doesn’t advertise so it would be nice to know more about them as they grow larger and larger.
As Tesla tries to grow larger and as the competition increases, Tesla will have to advertise.
@@rlsedition Indeed, news and other stations should work to stay on Tesla’s good side if they want some of that money. So far they seem to be biting the hand of their future master a lot.
@@nickmcconnell1291 Sorry, but I don't see Tesla as the "future master". The other car companies will catch up and they know a heck of a lot more about building cars than Tesla ever will. Tesla was first in this segment and that always helps, but don't underestimate the other players.
@@rlsedition I hope you are right, but I fear you are wrong.
Here is why:
Tesla can build a car for about half what it costs the OEMs to do it. They also can build them at least 3 times faster than VW who was known up till then as the fastest car builder in the world.
Tesla has locked in supply contracts for years with battery suppliers, mines, etc. They do not have nearly the supply chain issues others have and will continue to have into the latter part of this decade….. by then it will all be nearly over.
EVs are run on software and Tesla is the front runner on this too.
Finally Tesla does not have to deal with unions nor dealers (who mark up the price of the cars making them not as competitive).
I think this is Tesla’s game to lose. BYD may give them a run for their money but I think the OEMs, if they survive, will be mere shadows of their former status.
@@nickmcconnell1291 If Tesla can build cars so cheaply, then why don't they offer something that's affordable. A model 3 STARTING at $40k + is not affordable.
Great interview. Unbiased, fact seeking and cordial - rare these days. Franz comes across as highly competent and the right man for a disruptive and revolutionary company. Tesla obviously gives him the freedom to produce stupendously good products. He strikes me as having the right temperament to be managed by a tough boss like Elon! Good man!
Unbiased? This will have had to go across 7 lawyers and Elon's desk before it went live..
@@amdaman3 Well, this one cut the grade then and was signed off by all 7! 🤣😂
She tried so hard at the first 2 questions to catch issues to make Elon mask looks bad but it didn’t go
Well so she moved in with the questions
he's so humble
Unlike elon
_favorite design is a new design._ can't talk about it.
Hello! #amazing_website_short_aws
Hype AF. I doubt he is talking about the new smaller/cheaper model, so I imagine he is talking about the robotaxi
It sometimes only means; "what's coming is fun, not what I've already worked on".
@@GershonBenYitzhak The cheaper smaller model is the RoboTaxi platform. It's being developed now and it will be unlike any other vehicle that's has ever existed
Thank you Franz! Thank you for the much needed shake up and dedication to renewables.
Renewables... they feed you a line and you swallow like you mum should have...
Tesla is consistently the one company that continues pushing the innovation forward and that is why they will prevail.
🤣 they make the shittiest cars on the market though.
@@freeffree4133 And yet, the Model Y is going to be the #1 selling vehicle by next year in terms of unit sales and is already the best selling vehicle this year in terms of revenue. It's so bad that it's the... best selling vehicle in the world?
@@FKS1994 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You're smoking meth amphetamines right now. Besides the fact that Model Y's keep killing people, the price point prevents it from ever selling a million vehicles. Moreover all the other manufacturers are releasing their electric suvs which will cut more into Tesla's market share. The final nail in Tesla's coffin is their cars are mechanically inferior and have tons of quality control issues. Unfortunately this is the end for Musk and the garbage cars he makes 🤣
@@freeffree4133 Tesla had already sold 900k cars just this year back in October.
MAN I can't wait to get my Cybertruck!! Most revolutionairy product to come out in a LONG WHILE. This is one big mean machine and I love it
When it 1st rolled out I literally was wishing I hadn't bet the ranch on TSLA...but it rapidly grew on me. Put it next to any other pickup and the other looks like a grandma's grocery getter.
@@Mrbfgray But the Cybertruck looks like a kindergarten sketch.
@@rlsedition In a way but maybe that's OK. Ultimately for me form follows function to a large degree, in this case that depends a lot on how one will use it. Most seem to want it as a fashion statement just as pickups typically are now.
For ME a truck is crap on the road they are only for off road/dirt roads and hauling a load.
This tells you a whole lot about the company culture at Tesla ❤🇳🇬
Highest rated safety on the planet. Autopilot will even avoid accidents in some cases.
@@1Snousergreat joke :D
@@kubo-svk790 No jokes
Saw this truck in person looks way better than anticipated like something out of a comic book or movie
It’s always nice and interesting to listen to Franz. He’s doing an amazing job for Tesla. ❤
He should consider moving his talents elsewhere.
Ya after he destroyed the looks of cars for the last 15 years
First time CNBC has done a good video on Tesla
😂
I went from hating the cyber truck design to loving it.
Same! Will be fun to see one in person
Franz, please make a full size Cybervan (similar in size to the Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit) with the Stainless Steel exoskeleton body, single and dual motor options, 300 or 400 mile range and onboard power system for work tools or RV appliances. The dent and corrosion resistant SS body coupled with the Tesla Supercharger network would destroy the competition!
What You See HERE IS What You Really DO Get! I had the honour of interacting with Franz and I can tell you he is everything you see here in this video - friendly, honest, very humble and charming all wrapped up in a very nicely turned out human being :-) . . . As a wannabe designer, a true inspiration to me and to all those who aspire to go into the future with the care of the planet as a priority - All the best Franz and keep up with the amazing, inspired work !
Who cares what a video makes him look like? What a white bureaucratic thought
still looks like something an 8 year old scribbled in their notebook
Dude I hope this man never leaves tesla. If you are reading this : STAY!!! You are an absolute legend and remind me of somebody who can run tesla one day in the future. Great guy
The new roadster is the most beautiful car ever designed. Simply stunning inside and out. No unsightly lines or clutter. Just pure refinement. It's the perfect car.
Thanks for showing people behind Tesla and not only Elon
...were their motto is "better late or possibly never".
At the same time if someone make research about tesla or elon at tesla
You should know this guy
If I m not mistaken I come on stage for the car reveal too + they talk about him on the biography of elon
And also usually people on this industry are not famous at all 😅 elon is just the rare exception
I look forward to all the third party reviews of the truck. I hope it lives up to the hype.
Bwahahaha he couldn't look the interviewer in the eye when asked about musks management skills 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved this interview … want more of such interviews from Mr. Franz Von Holzhausen … just love his work … the way he has got the design of model 3 and Y and more recent the plaid models to perfection is just amazing. Uncle Elon, Mr. Franz and Mr. J B Straubel are the three pillars of Tesla. Can you guys at CNBC get such an interview of Mr. J B Straubel next time? Or try to have these three guys in one frame … that would be supercool and nostalgic 😊
JB Straubel is no longer at Tesla...he is head of Redwood Materials.
Drew Baglino, Senior Vice President of Powertrain and Energy Engineering, is another key individual, so is Zach Kirkhorn, Master of Coin and CFO. And even after Andrej Karpathy left, Tesla AI has some great leaders. Desapite Musk's antics, being the #1 or #2 choice of engineering graduates to work for years means Tesla (and SpaceX) keep hiring great talent.
I have a day one reservation. Baddest truck on the planet 🌎
But it doesn’t exist yet…
Kinda wish this guy was CEO of Tesla.
A designer as CEO? Good luck.
Envy is a sin
Everyone has their own role
One feature I would like to see changed. Have a look at the display of a Leaf. It is amazingly clear - framed by the upper half of the steering wheel. So much better than the offset touch screen of Tesla. Other than that, Go Tesla.
Should the title read "Tesla’s Chief Designer On The Cybertruck And Keeping His Job"
Integrity is the foundation of a just society . The motivation, hard work, and proving to others nothing is impossible all come together at tommorrow event. I hope all kids and students watch this as a learning tool to become innovators and create great products that are fun, make the world better and save lives. Tesla motivation stems from The tragedy in Humboldt. Autopilot in trucks will prevent such horrific incidents in the future.
Yuck, another Musk bot. You people are so disgusting.
CNBC content that didn't bash Musk. I'm shocked.
Great interview!
Franz should do all of Tesla's public speaking.
They definitely need to make someone other than Elon the face of Tesla. His personal issues are getting pulled too much into an otherwise innovative company
I love it! He stated inspiration can come from anywhere. That is a great '1st Principles' outlook that has been lost in a world where people always focus on the extremes of life.
I love change. I love unique. I own a KTM Super Duke 1290r and MV AGusta 800rr Dragster motorcycle. You do not see these on every corner. I love the minimalistic interior Tesla. No buttons or knobs to date/dust collector. Thinking outside the box vs just another color version of the same thing year after yearb
Damn I see you CNBC 😂😂 a non biased interview not bashing Tesla for once 😂😂 Good video though CNBC
Tesla is fine Elon is not, new CEO would be good at this point, the innovation is held back by his antics.
@@LafemmebearMusic how is Tesla innovation held back by Musk's Twitter fiasco? Tesla has been intentionally and ruthlessly focused on increasing production of existing models from two new factories; as Elon Musk has repeatedly explained on investor calls, introducing any new models in 2022 would only reduce its total production volume. We'll see in 2024 if Tesla has uncompetitive products and battery chemistries because the competition innovated while Tesla kept making more of the same widgets. I'm fairly confident that Franz von Holzhausen and engineering teams are working on future stuff in-house, but it's not going to announce anything that would reduce demand for its current car models.
very good interview. Keep them coming from Tesla and other EV manufacturers
When the Ford Ranchero was first introduced in 1957, it confounded everyone. Was it a car, a truck, or… both? The answer is both.
Quite a good interview surprisingly😁
She really try hard at the first 2 questions to see if there is issue with Elon Mask as managing Tesla.
She tried to catch issues but it didn’t go well.
Too direct questions and kind of weird for beginning of interview
@@Anonymousaaa better than average
Having owned 4 Teslas over the years, I am such an admirer of Franz von Holzhausen!
amazing designer, and team. cool he mentioned the countach and the 250 GTO ! some amazing classics❤
here my exploration of the Cyber/Countach I had done a while ago in Gravity sketch. I think there is something there for sure!!
czcams.com/video/DKSLkZ5Z0nw/video.html
So good to hear from Franz!!!
Amazing how they aged and seeing them so young.
Very unusual unbiased take from CNBS - nice work
Amazing. I got my first Mazda 3 which might designed by you. It was wow the world back in 2004
Agreed!
Thank you Franz von Holzhausen for being awesome!!!
Love this guy. Understated quiet genius. Comfortable in his skin. No bs. No dumb jokes or ego driven comments.
Love that cybertruck design
It's only been 3 years since I placed my order for the Cybertruck, hopefully I get to see one next year!
Same here! Looking forward to get a VIN number assigned and I don't care how long I have to wait.
If you placed it in the first 24 hours you after the unveil will see it next year
@@InSaN3ViSioN I waited a few days before ordering so keeping my fingers crossed. Either way after close to 4 years of waiting, what's a few more months wait lol
@@inciwillard991 Same here, I can wait another year or two, although I don't want too lol
Franz makes cars that are aging really well. Saw an old Model S with nosecone today and it still looks modern.
Magnifique présentation! Hâte de voir le Cybertruck! et hâte de voir ''ce qui s'en vient''!
Roadster can’t come soon enough 🤤
Elon the Great has other fish to fry...
Franz you just designed one of the most desirable iconic trucks ever ! Cybertruck is exciting !
I really hope Franz and his team round out and smooth out the Cybertruck. The overall shape is interesting and effective, but the sharp fenders and corners are turbulence creators and just look over-the-top. Sincerely, a reservation holder.
Love the look of the Cyber Truck. Badass man.
NICE Door handle! Don't get where there is ice, snow, mud, dirt, sand!
I will be using the CyberTruck for my recycling scrap route videos. I can't wait :-)
💚❤️💚
Hey! Ryan Shaw at 1:40
As a Tesla-watcher (and investor), I look forward to seeing a Cybertruck on the road. It's more of a break with the old than Tesla's other vehicles (as is the Semi), and it excites me most. To me, the straight lines look just fine; it all fits together nicely. And it's not just a truck; it's an SUV just as much, when its variety of functions are considered.
As a Tesla investor, you have lost a fuckload of money. Are you cool with Musk wasting all his time and energy with Twitter? You’re fine with that level of distraction and lack of focus?
@@Slurpy2k8 I have faith in Tesla's tech and products. Musk's recent behavior DOES bother me, but probably won't hold back Tesla's continuing growth and success. To me, the stock is a buy right now.
It's funny how people gets blinded by Elon's "douchness", and fail to see Tesla's bright future.
Just because the stock has gone down hard the last year, it doesn't mean investors are losing money. Those thinking this, don't know when we bought and when we're planning to sell.
Roadster 2 for me 😍
@@Slurpy2k8 You only lose money if you sell at the low point. A long term investor could care less about the short term ups and downs. Tesla is still the EV worldwide leader. All companies are still following them. So the future stock price is more than likely quite good. I'd prefer Elon focused on Tesla and SpaceX only but I'm hoping the Twitter thing is more of a short term distraction.
He did not design it. I did. I threw a piece of clay from the Tesla factory roof. Exactly 8 times. That was the outcome. I revolutionized the process. Thank you
So 😂 they really think they’re reinventing the truck?!
They are.
Genius!! The model 3 remains my most favorite design ever
It's honestly an amorphous ugly egg. It looks like a bald man doing a duck face. It's a design for a billionaire with no taste
@@chihchang1139 ok
“Some people hate Cybertruck” she says. That ain’t me… I want one ASAP, something REALLY new and a change from the boring normal. Bring it on!
What happens if the cyber trucks flips over that pointy top doesnt seem very safe...
It is about time CNBC putting out some quality content.
She really try hard at the first 2 questions to see if there is issue with Elon Mask as managing Tesla.
She tried to catch issues but it didn’t go well.
Too direct questions and kind of weird for beginning of interview
Tesla car’s design r Iconic
I want a cyber truck so bad. I have a Y now and if I could get a Tri Motor soonish I would be so happy
Tri motor has been discontinued. Only Dual and Quad Motor aka Plaid will be available
7:27 Scrap that thing about pushing the boundaries with the door handles, btw.
The 1959 "Double Bubble" Fiat Abarth and the '53 Cunningham C3 had flushed door handles.
@@tlittle23aa For flush door handles??
The price they cost in a Tesla.
It's great to see them in Elon's car. But just don't say that his cars are the first to have them.
I think the Tesla Model S is one of the earliest cars to have self-presenting door handles that rise out of the bodywork when the owner approaches. You can set the Model X so the driver's door automatically "partially opens (between 20° and 45° depending on obstacles detected by sensors)" when you approach.
Kudos, a great interview 🎉 so great to see discussion about the Industrial Design 👍🏻
...fluff piece.
Truthfully Tesla still the only manufacturer that offers both SOTA and FOTA over the air updates. Many other manufacturers offer just SOTA and mostly for infomat systems. Many competing manufacturers only dream of both SOTA and FOTA updates. Truly an iPhone on wheels. How often do you have to take your iPhone/smartphone in for servicing?
Finally an honest look at Tesla!
I’ll be honest, I love the design of the cybertruck, it’s so cool. I don’t understand how people don’t like it.
Franz creativity is being unleashed i don't think that would be possible anywhere but Tesla. Can't wait to see the Cybertruck in the wild. It's a standout so eloquently designing the form to follow the function the materials and the technology is brilliant the cybertruck is a revolution that defies tradition.
When you see the cybertruck or the semi on the road then you will know we are in the future.
HUH? The interior of the Mercedes EQ, and the newer BMW i4, iX, i7, as well as other EVs kick the crap out of Tesla in terms of design, build quality and materials for their interiors. Go sit in an EQS and then get in a Tesla Model S. See which one you'd rather have. I'd take the Mercedes in a heart beat. I do NOT need a car that does 0-Ticket much faster than the EQS or the BMW EVs do. The only thing that Tesla might have is their Supercharger network and they typically do have slightly better charge times. But I think those advantages might go away. Tesla's been doing it longer, so they have more development time involved. But it Elon detracts from Tesla, then he may find himself behind the 8 ball.
Cybertruck and Semi are massive game changers
Very interesting interview. And a good journalist. Please use her to teach others how to do journalism.
So to be clear you all don’t care about anything but money that’s the world you want, correct? Cus at this point you know what Elon is about and where he comes from and clearly what he stands for, so the message just so I’m clear, is you don’t care as long as he makes money and innovates correct or incorrect?
@@LafemmebearMusic Correct, Elon Musk's companies need to make a lot of money to enable him to keep on innovating as the most prolific innovator currently and perhaps ever. There is a reason why engineers' preferred choice of company is SpaceX as #1 and Tesla as #2.
Also he innovates for the common good such as the electrification, neural interfaces and the exploration of space.
Furthermore, he is refreshingly honest and has no patience for absurd marxist wokeness.
Finally, he is generating a bunch of good jobs and wealth without living the outlandish sick lifestyle of most Hollywood actors, reality stars and lame musicians.
Really great interview so far! Love Tesla
Good job CNBS
So with smash proof glass, how do you get out if the batteries catch on fire? Is this even a concern? Ive heard of the model s cars shutting down if the batteries are overcharged and catch fire.
His favorite design is the upcoming one that he can't talk about? I feel like this is a bit of a bombshell people could easily miss...
RoboTaxi platform. The lowest cost EV ever
That huge windshield wiper is genius. Was gonna buy cybertruck before i saw the huge wiper smaller front and side mirrors.
Build quality! As a car valetor. I do not think i have ever cleaned a Telsa without misaligned panels. I have never had one without condensation in the rear light clusters. Ice cars while Telsa has your car for weeks repairing. I admire Telsa. But i wouldn't own one
Some Teslas are flawless while others are not. It's hit and missed, but overall good. ICE cars may get repaired faster than a Tesla, but you have to take them in more often.
Interesting my 2021 Model 3 has none of the issues you describe
You probably will regret your decision. Ice is old technology. EV is the future; and Tesla is leading the way.
@H2s lmao yeah in dreamland maybe
Other manufacturers have these flaws as well. Look it up. Not all cars are perfect.
The truck is 3 years late and fix the roofline. It doesn't need to slope down until after the passenger compartment.
I liked the interviewer style. She asked pertinent and genuinely motivated questions and allowed the responses to be completely articulated before moving to the next question. Fantastic interview.
I remember when Rivian first came around and people said they would never produce a car while supporting Tesla. Look how the turntables
Rivian produced 7,363 BEVs in Q3 2022; meanwhile in the same period Tesla produced 365,000 and is ramping up production at its massive new Austin Texas and Berlin factories. Producing "a car" is not hard; making 50,000 a year is. Rivian, Lucid, Fisker, Vinfast, Aptera, Sono, Lightyear, etc. are all learning this the hard way.
