Model S and X lose dedicated GPU and comes with less onboard storage

I low key wanna buy a model S and just put it in storage for 50 years

The dedicated GPU has been gone for a year. The only thing that sounds new is the decreased internal storage.

I had the idea to do this with an OG iPhone, and didn’t, but they’re worth about 100x more factory sealed now.

Now I’m picturing a model S, still sealed in a box with the Tesla logo on it, shrink-wrap and all.

less ram too but you get lgbt interior lighting and front camera

Apple stock from around that time period is also 100x.

I have an og , 3g and 4g iphone still Not factory sealed however

OG Roadster will be the most valuable

Did the dGPU have any effect on normal day to day usage of the car? Or was it really only to deliver on Steam gaming?

Good idea except that it might get bricked.

Would the battery last even half that long?

The value is the factory seal.

If it’s maintained/charged occasionally to prevent discharge I could imagine an extremely low-mileage Model S becoming a classic car.

Favorite typo of the day

Which considering how many years it has been thats not a very good return on investment.

I have the car with dedicated GPU, but I have to imagine it was only for gaming.

Values probably peaked around 10-15 years, 100x is a great ROI…

Unless you get really lucky, you would be better off just putting the money in an index fund.

I had a 2022 S Plaid with the dGPU and now a 2026 S Plaid. I’m hyper sensitive to frame rates and I haven’t noticed any difference in rendering performance.

Thats the same or less than the stock market on average and much less liquid.

Steam gaming

The stock market has gone up 10,000% in the last 15 years? Are you sure about that?

Sorry i did my math wrong.

Only ~2400 made! There are exponentially more S’s than that.

Did Witcher 3 ever get released for model s?

People said that about DeLoreans and it really didn't turn out too well.

You mean "I phone key wanna buy..." right? lol

Why would it get bricked

10/10. Can’t stop laughing.

Might still work some, I would assume anything that requires communication with the outside world will not work in 50 years. Will the car still function without that? Probably some features. It might still drive. Maybe. Assuming you kept it charged.

they will rerelease the s eventually, cybertruck has way more future collectible potential with how poorly it’s selling

2400x 2400 is 5,760,000. I highly doubt there are that many S's.

Yep. But only for the 2022-2023 model years.

there will be used ones available forever don’t worry

THIS

The exponent could only be 1.6 - nobody specified it was squared. (I feel like it’s a bit odd encountering Ryan. The world sometimes feels small. I called in a few times in the first ~year of his podcast.)

So Tesla saved $100 USD on a $100,000 USD car?

They rolled out unreal engine to the S and X with the dGPU

If you're going less than 2, it's not even worth saying exponential then.

And for every 1,000 teslas sold, they earn $100,000 more. $100 / savings is substantial. And I suspect it was more than $100 / car.

Hate everything about the end of X and S. The icons that made Tesla being discarded like that is a disgrace. Had they invested a tad more into the branding and tech they would still be around and selling well. Now Tesla is a brand with the feeling of a dystopic sci fi series and no, zero nada feel of wanna have. A basic model y or 3? As sexy as a Volkswagen Golf 20 years ago. Lame.

Then 2401 is also an exponent of 2400. Whats the point of the original comment then

Probably more like they ran out and ordering a new batch would cost a lot more than they wanted to pay.

Still a shame on such a high end car.

$100K for model X is super over priced... Model Y and Model 3 are amazing values...

I think my 22 X plaid is the peak of the model. Maximum storage, maximum Ram, bad ass GPU that runs every game I own on Steam perfectly, including emulators. Reducing the Ram, therefore removing Steam is a HUGE loss for a gamer like me... Never bored while waiting ever again. Actually finished SilkSong playing in the car waiting for kids to come out from school/practice or my wife getting ready... UltraSonic Sensors. No, Vision is not good enough. My friend has a 24 X plaid and his driver door opens all the way maybe 60% of the time. The rest of the time it's super timid. My door opens wide to receive me as I approach 100% of the time *unless* there is an actual obstacle in the way I case it opens the maximum it can without touching the obstacle. Its great! This alone, made me never upgrade the car (I usually do every 3 years or so), I use this everyday multiple times a day. I also love the old-school proximity beeping while parking somewhere tight. I can 100% rely on it because USS will never get confused with a small cone or pole, unlike vision only. There is no official source for this one, but I swear my car has better quality speakers than the 24 model. Same song, identical equalizer settings... The Bass is waaaaaaay better in mine, the highs are crisper and cleaner... Group friend of 6 individuals all agree. I do hope to eventually be able to upgrade to HW5 or whatever actually has fully automated driving, as that's the one thing it's worse than the new cars as it's stuck with HW3.

Have you noticed steam is gone in the newer one..?

Nothing new . Tesla playing quiet games with customers yet again ! They shout from the rooftops when they achieve any little thing but never a peep when they do the rug pull on their customers . Ask the peeps who bought their cars at Sky high prices with HW3 just before HW4 was introduced … quietly !

$100 per vehicle, even on a low volume vehicle like S and X is a tremendous amount of money per vehicle.

Well charging requires only a wall outlet, and connections to the outside world aren’t necessary for the car to function

It’s been gone for several years.

Still a shame on such a high end car.

Whilst it wouldn’t necessarily be bricked, if you don’t update the firmware Tesla remove all services
