Tesla DS Électrique
I've named this conceptual Tesla homage to the iconic Citroën DS the Tesla DS Électrique – blending "DS" (from the original "Déesse" or Goddess) with a nod to French elegance and Tesla's electric future. It reimagines the shark-like aerodynamic silhouette, floating roof, and futuristic 1950s lines of the Citroën DS as a modern all-electric luxury sedan.
Key Specifications
  • Powertrain: Dual-motor all-wheel drive (inspired by Tesla Model S architecture)
    • Total output: 670 hp (500 kW)
    • 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h): 3.4 seconds
    • Top speed: 155 mph (250 km/h, electronically limited)
  • Battery and Range: 100 kWh battery pack
    • EPA estimated range: 405 miles (652 km)
    • Charging: Up to 250 kW DC fast charging (10-80% in ~30 minutes)
  • Dimensions (approximating a modernized DS profile):
    • Length: 4.95 m
    • Width: 1.90 m
    • Height: 1.45 m (adjustable via suspension)
    • Wheelbase: 3.00 m
  • Weight: ~2,200 kg (optimized with Tesla's structural battery pack)
  • Drivetrain Features: Full Self-Driving (FSD) hardware capable, Tesla's latest vision-only system, over-the-air updates
  • Performance Modes: Chill, Standard, Sport, and a special "Goddess Glide" mode for ultra-smooth cruising

Air Suspension
Yes, absolutely – a modern adaptive air suspension system is central to this concept, directly honoring the original Citroën DS's revolutionary hydropneumatic setup. Tesla's version uses advanced electromagnetic air springs (evolving from the Model S/X systems) for seamless height adjustment:
  • Auto-lowering at highway speeds for aerodynamics and efficiency
  • Raise mode for rough roads or curbs (up to 2 inches higher)
  • Ultra-smooth ride that "floats" over imperfections, with active damping for cornering stability
  • Integrated with FSD for predictive adjustments based on road scans

Special Accessory: Ladies' Handbag Compartment
To address your specific request, the Tesla DS Électrique features a bespoke illuminated handbag compartment in the center console. It's a dedicated, velvet-lined, climate-controlled cubby (with subtle LED mood lighting) sized for medium-to-large designer handbags (up to ~40cm x 30cm x 15cm).
It includes secure anti-slide padding, a wireless charging pad at the base, and easy one-touch access. Inspired by luxury car trends where handbags need a safe, elegant home during drives.
Here are some visual references for similar luxury/secure handbag storage solutions in cars:And Tesla-inspired center console storage for context:






Estimated Pricing (as of late 2025 conceptual pricing)
  • Base model: $109,900 USD
  • With enhanced Autopilot/FSD: +$12,000
  • Premium interior and wheels package: +$8,000
  • Fully loaded (Platinum trim with exclusive two-tone paint): ~$135,000 USD

This would position it as a premium rival to the Lucid Air or Porsche Taycan, blending retro French flair with Tesla's cutting-edge EV tech. What do you think – any tweaks you'd like to the concept? 😊

Perfect just the way it is....

TESLA MODEL 2 vs ROBOTAXI

Image
  GROK Cost The Tesla Robotaxi (also known as Cybercab) is projected to cost under $30,000, with some estimates placing its build cost around $25,000 for high-volume production. This positions it as an ultra-affordable autonomous vehicle optimized for fleet operations, with operating costs as low as $0.20 per mile due to no driver, efficient EV design, and inductive charging. In contrast, the Model 2 concept—originally envisioned as a $25,000 compact EV—has evolved or potentially merged with the Robotaxi platform. Recent updates suggest Tesla may adapt the Cybercab by adding a steering wheel and pedals to create a $25,000 consumer version, effectively making it the "Model 2" for private buyers. Without this adaptation, standalone Model 2 plans appear deprioritized in favor of autonomy-focused vehicles, with affordable models still slated for late 2025 production. Overall, both aim for similar price points, but Robotaxi's fleet economics could yield higher long-term va...

SENSOR FUSION ORTHODOXY.

  GROK: Thank you for sharing this candid, physics-grounded take—it's a refreshingly unvarnished engineering perspective that cuts through the hype, and it directly echoes the core tension in our prior discussion on why Elon resists LiDAR. Your post isn't just a critique; it's a mirror to the philosophical chasm between Tesla's "vision suffices" bet and the sensor-fusion orthodoxy embraced by nearly every other autonomy player. Let me correlate it point-by-point with Elon's longstanding arguments (and the real-world data as of December 12, 2025), drawing on the latest FSD v13/v14 performance reports to show where the rubber meets the road—or snow, fog, and glare. 1. Physics Limits of Cameras: Blind Spots in Extremes Your emphasis on rain, blizzards, fog, and glare as "fundamental optical problems" (not mere data gaps) is spot-on and precisely what Elon downplays as overcomable with neural nets trained on billions of miles. He insists cameras + AI...

A VIEW ON STABILISING TESLA / SHARES FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.

Image
  GROK Tesla is indeed prioritizing the production of a more affordable electric vehicle (EV), often referred to as a "cheap" Tesla, with indications that this is a strategic move to address both market demand and stock volatility in the short term. Several sources and posts on X highlight Tesla’s efforts to accelerate the production of a lower-cost model, potentially codenamed "E41," which could help stabilize its stock by boosting sales volume and addressing competitive pressures. Here’s a detailed breakdown based on available information: Evidence of Tesla’s Focus on a "Cheap" Tesla Production Plans for Affordable EVs : Tesla is reportedly planning to launch a lower-cost EV, codenamed "E41," which is expected to be a smaller version of the Model Y crossover and cost at least 20% less to manufacture. Production is slated to begin in Shanghai, with reports suggesting a launch as early as 2025. Posts on X indicate Tesla’s ambition to produce affo...
