Right on about the Batteries. We need everyone producing Batteries in North America and the EU. Competition is good. EU needs to have credits like the US has for Batteries and Semiconductors. We can not rely on China for these products. Keep up the great work....
Gleich zu den Batterien. Wir brauchen alle, die Batterien in Nordamerika und der EU produzieren. Wettbewerb ist gut. Die EU braucht Kredite wie die USA für Batterien und Halbleiter. Bei diesen Produkten können wir uns nicht auf China verlassen. Mach weiter so tolle Arbeit....

Regarding the batteries...
Korean LG Chem suffers with fire danger.
Chinese BYD and CATL are dominating and sourcing for Tesla LFP packs.
Biden has opened up the floodgates so fingers crossed, the American battery manufacturing know how will get up to speed quick

Hoping they add handles in ceiling. My grandparents have difficulties getting out of the car and this is something basically all other cars have..

[@michaelblue7852]

Yes that would very nice. Doubt it very much though unfortunately.. doesn't fit the ultra minimalist / cost cutting approach.

[@kabysummit5801]

I'm seriously getting the Model Y or S, just because getting in and out of the 3 is difficult for the elderly

[@kabysummit5801]

My model 3 refresh wish list:
Long range widely available
Long range equipped with LFP batteries, range is longer than the current model Y LR
Styling more akin to Model S
Optional air suspension

[@jeremyyu6600]

air suspension is for luxury class,I don't think it will come to 3/y in recent years

[@dosso96]

I would love air suspension as well.. I don’t care about other things, maybe I would be more interested in the 4680…
My wishlist is matrix lights (why don’t they activate them?) but the most important is the ambient light.. I miss some good relaxing lights inside the car… then maybe cool seats (like model S and X) and head up display.. so annoying to watch the speed on the screen, it makes me turn the head every time.. I miss a small head up display (or just a projection of the speed on the windshield)

Because China's early subsidies were so successful they have now achieved a near monopoly in lithium processing and battery production. Now the only way forward to break that monopoly is for Western economies to introduce subsidies of their own. The US has now enacted laws that grant those subsidies. And it is working - plans are being finalized almost weekly for massive new battery manufacturing projects in North America. Europe's best response would be to roll out a similar program of incentives of their own. Advocating instead for the repeal of US subsidies only takes us all back to our starting point with China monopolizing battery manufacturing and having the power to hold Western car manufacturing hostage to potential supply chain disruptions.

Require the vehicles and batteries to be manufactured in Europe. Just as the US and China put heavy tariffs on imports.

[@normvanduker9999]

@@audience2 I think it might work better to provide incentives for vehicles and batteries manufactured in Europe and rather than "heavy tariffs" reciprocal tariffs would be more appropriate. It works a lot better to provide financial rewards rather than punishments.

The factory tour in Austin last week revealed a working dry cell 4680 battery production line. All battery production equipment that was installed in the Berlin was deinstalled and shipped to the US, after the US government revealed their insensitive for local battery production.

[@normvanduker9999]

You are barking up the wrong tree. The point of the IRA is not to take battery production from Europe. The point of the IRA is to break China's monopoly on battery production. The US would, in fact, be delighted to see new battery plants in Europe as well as the US - it is rather an unintended consequence of US efforts to combat Chinese subsidies with American subsidies that Europe is getting caught in the crossfire. America's fight to create a more diversified supply chain that is not held hostage to a monopoly based in China is appropriate and Europe's best response is to do likewise and role out incentives of their own. In point of fact, Tesla wants to build batteries in Europe (this was Tesla's plan all along) and Europe's best move is to welcome what Tesla is trying to do, stop regulating them to death, and roll out economic incentives equivalent to those now offered in North America.

Hey buddy any news about 4680 in giga o Berlin? Actually I don’t find any news even in US… are they having still big problems?
