Was ready to get a Roadster until the current Covid crisis. Maybe in a few months or more. Once/if I get a Roadster I'd be in for this.

Yes now we're back! Long and strong

Opricot is giving max pain @ 755. I thought no way. Now not so sure. Most manipulated stock.

Yikes. Hope it is temporary. Thanks for the update!

Seems odd to be down in premarkets when all the indices futures are up and significantly up from the close yesterday.

@Curt Renz Glad to see you around again. Missed your familiar posts. Hope all is well.

Nice - I travel to Detroit and Ann Arbor a fair bit. So good to have a service center nearby.

Could also be a New Flyer (TSX:NFI). Big battery on the roof.

Between @Artful Dodger and @The Accountant we've got the winning Superbowl team here! Hurray for the analysis and the teamwork. This will be a most pleasant Q4 if this happens (burn shorts :p [EDITED to be BURN SHORTS AND SHORT MARKET MAKERS!]

@Mike Smith Awesome Mike. This is the highest of the sell side analysts that I've heard. Hopefully a catalyst for the fffive-hundred that we're looking for.

Artful : I think a 1k km Plaid S with the charger specs you mentioned might get me out of my then 4 year old S P100D instead of a CT. I like your thinking.

The ROI is more than just cost savings vs gas/other traditional energy. Can also be business interruption which can be significant depending on industry, reboot/wastage from possibly milliseconds of downtime. Battery switchovers come online faster than having to ignite a flame.

Yes definitely it's big business. I'm in the commercial industrial side now and there's lots at stake.

6 stalls now open in Brandon, Manitoba. That's half the cars there! /s

Would love it if Robo comes in earlier than 5 years. But my investment thesis is just based on the cars + energy. Robo is just icing on the cake.

Can't remember where I saw the spec on S USB ports. One of them gave about half the amperage of the other. Just can't remember which one. FWIW the Samsung T5 SSD has been working well in my S and X. I think I have it plugged into the left USB.

Good choice. I have two T5s working well without issue on a S and a X. Tried other different ones that either didn't work consistently or due to the mechanical connection sticking out of the USB port quickly got mangled and stopped working. The Samsung T5 connects via a cable and I hide it...

Very storage device dependent from my experience. I've had mediocre experiences with USB storage sticks. And overwhelmingly good experience with the Samsung T5 SSDs on both a 2018 S and a 2019 X. YMMV but I've only read good things about the Samsung storage products working with Teslacam...

I got cold feet with the first Tesla and my first LEAF (first electric car I had). The only thing I regret now is that I should have gotten the Tesla even earlier. :) Good luck on the delivery. This will be a minor hiccup when you get your new family Tesla.

I'd echo not being an echo chamber like TQ! We have to have spirted debate without it becoming rancour. Neroden's points on service have been oft-debated and I'll add mine. I've had great service where I felt the service techs were my dear friends (Mississauga, Lawrence), other front staff...

Agree with you absolutely @ReflexFunds . I'm a former investment banker as well and I worked in the specialty world of tech investment banking. All the models are at best guesses with only some supportability and very high in my experience variability and fudgability. I won't tell you the...

Yeah shorty BS for sure. Especially when the fixed costs of labor, parts, machinery, facilities is spread over more volume (i.e more cars sold) of course the per unit (car) cost of warranty work should go down, not up, even if the rate or direct variable cost of service stayed the same. Now we...

That's my strategy add on the dips. If it goes to the high 200s add a bit more. Thanks @Antares Nebula . Good day for longs today. Monday should be interesting as I think the short covering will continue as there's bound to be more margin calls from today for #TSAQs

Bollinger band's a-broke'n

Yep me too. But it drives link stink and I have a sunroof on a 2018 P. That is an expensive sunroof but well worth it.

Might help EV and particularly Tesla sales in Canada (possibly like Norway strong even)! The NDP who would prop up the Liberal minority government proposed eliminating the federal sales tax on EVs. That's worth I believe 5% [corrected not 7% thanks @Chasingmars ] so significant for Tesla with...

I think the "fine print wizard" will let us know about fees vs deposits in this case.

Me too. My COBOL and Fortran skills aren't going to help with mobile app dev. Good idea though.

The C8 Corvette looks amazing and has some pretty serious performance numbers. Now aside from it being an ICE, and that is a downside, the performance and pricing is defintitely on the plus side. Price-wise the challenge with "allocation spots" at the dealership will be market priciing...

I used to have the problem on and off. I'd unplug the USB drive for a few seconds and plug it in and it would sometimes work for a while. But I found the solution to be simple: I replaced my USB drive with a higher speed one. I chose what a bunch of other people recommended and went with a...

If it has Tesla Supercharger opt-in I'd consider it as a utility truck. Better than the guzzling F-150 that we use once in a while.

Ummm... nothing that wouldn't burn out the retinas :) But if that's what you really want I'm sure there's some custom apparel fitters that will help.

Hi Kutu. I'd agree that Musk can sometimes let his emotions get in the way. He is human, regardless of all the alien-conspiracy shorts that claim otherwise! I do think in the last 6 months or so he's settled down. Probably Ellison and others have coached him to focus and not waste his...

Picked up a Model X LR a couple weeks ago. Definitely better in every way than the 2016 we had. Even better than the 2018 P100D that I have. You'll have a blast in a 2019 S LR!

What a piece of work! I won't even allude to what he is insinuating but scumbag may be too nice. #MeToo #Spiegel #TSLAQ #Sucks

They keep moving the goalposts! "You'll never be fast enough" "You're fast but you won't beat my time" "You beat my time but you had extra sugary prototype Cheerios with the fast-sprinkles spoiler, the lowered suspension toy, and you removed the milk seats to make it go faster ... and your Mom...

You are soooo right! :) Benuzzi would be a dream and talk about racing soul and Ferrari is "super fantastico" (according to Translate). Now your suggestion of having both Benuzzi and Rosberg just makes a girl's or guy's heart all a flutter!

Yes very tempting, so much that I pulled the buy trigger tonight. Our 2016 Model X required real world 3 charges for 820 km or so. The new 2019 Raven X should be able to do that with 1 charge and about 10 hours of driving. Very much looking forward to the higher charge rate, improved features...

I've heard nothing yet on the photos to space. But I'm also waiting on my referral wheels from Dec 2018. Might need to start emailing soon.

I don't know about actual sales @ Tesla in Ontario, although I was at one of the Toronto area service centres just yesterday and they said that they are still asking their staff to help with end of quarter sales/deliveries in the Toronto area. There are quite a few Teslas in certain parts of...

Yes, even as a hedge that means he has to give some credence and some probability that TSLA might > $420 by strike date.

So am I understanding this correctly that Chanos is now switching sides without technically saying he is long (he just has the options to be long)?

Sustainable energy is very broad. Even sustainable transportation like you mentioned includes airplanes, even sustainable rockets and submarines if I'm being facetious. Anyways lots of possible paths. Don't dismiss non-transport sustainable energy as a driver of human betterment. We all win...

New piece from not usually friendly BusinessInsider. This time a positive view of Elon as a 1900-ish car visionary. Nice to see someone paint Elon in a positive way. It's been 100 years since we've seen anybody like Elon Musk — here's why that's so disorienting

Anyone get their referral wheels for the X or S lately? My 3rd referral was last December? Do you know who I should contact?

Assuming betterrouteplanner models the SR and LR accurately (which I'm not sure it does or doesn't), I think the occasional one where you spend more time for a meal or a break would let the LR get to a higher SOC (maybe 100%) and might eliminate the need for the next stop. that would save a lot...

I'm getting the feeling that you might be talking about leasing a 3? If that's the case I can't help you. Mine was a S and a X with Tesla directly. Let me know if that helps. Thought you were asking about the lease return process with Tesla

We did last December. Just brought it in and we signed something. There was some overage of mileage. And we picked up the new Tesla. You should check for any specials that let you return early etc. with your delivery advisor at Tesla. Might save something on the existing lease.

They're giving out ICE Audis + $800 for gas. Or an unaffected e-Tron (read not able to sell them e-Trons)

It's the Cornell money! Or the bankers and consultants from NYC doing recruiting :)
