deliveries

The Youxia doesn’t start producing the cars till 2016 and the first deliveries will be made in 2017.

If the envelope gets too heavy and your postal budget gets used up with a couple deliveries is that right?

Do you have any plans to make available some sort of API for making orders/deliveries etc?

To be fair, you're talking about an agency that provably intercepted deliveries of Cisco hardware and installed backdoors in them.

The truck charges between deliveries and spare swap-in packs pick up any slack if the duty cycle is too high.

Drones and trucks are expensive and the finance guys would prefer the absolute minimum be owned and deliveries be made 24x7.

The drones could make deliveries during the driver's lunch break which is a nice bonus.

Also -- noise could be an issue too -- want to have quiet deliveries.

That would imply we're not going to get drone congestion until we have deliveries at 3am.

I would assume some of those deliveries will be for the Model X, which is supposed to start shipping in Q3.

I believe Matternet is also pioneering this in the developing world for vaccine deliveries and medical tests in rural field clinics.

Scheduling deliveries is going to be very expensive, especially during the high (vehicular) traffic times when most people are both at their homes and still awake.

You could also have drone-specific semis that go on a very slow rotation around the city, moving a few miles quickly and then stopping so the drones can make deliveries from a "home base".

"'If you cut back on service, you are going to lose your subscriber base,' said Hank Breeggemann, general manager of Netflix’s DVD division[...]" I wonder what it cost them in subscribers when they ended Saturday deliveries a year.
