Great links, thanks @Reciprocity. I know the others less well, and on the first link I was confused if they were mixing BEVs and PHEVs, but they were wildly optimistic on the Tesla dates! Model Y in 2018?? Roadster in 2019??? Dreaming!

Tesla internet should do well.

Man, that's a quote to live by.
Electrek - yesterday: Tesla patents new ways to make battery packs safer in case of a fire
Electreek - this morning: Tesla is back on a ‘hiring spree’ following massive layoffs

I think the AI/software dev side of Tesla is probably divided into 2 different team.
- 1 team, being led by Andrej Karpathy, working on the research side, trying different stuff, innovating.
- 1 team, focused on making incremental updates, improving gradually the current software, UI/UX, implementing what the research team has created/found out.

Rank and Yank! Does wonders for morale in the rank and file. (Who do not get RSUs).
I'd say a third team too, which is focused on their custom hardware (and perhaps AP hardware in general such as cameras, radar, etc), to enable the second and perhaps first teams to push towards even better implementations, etc.
And where did the press get their perception? Talking to financial and business types at conferences, seminars, cocktail parties, etc.
No point trying to parse out that chicken and egg. Journalists have no better long term vision than their readers. But for the first time in Tesla’s history, it doesn’t require much vision for anyone — journalists and their readers — to recognize the positive Tesla story.
If people with conflicting agendas control (or greatly influence) the press, then we still won’t see anything close to balanced reporting. But if the reason for such historically bad press is poor general perception, then over the next 3-6 months the tenor of Tesla reporting will change significantly.

Definitely needs updating but it's got a lot of info on cars I never heard of and specs. Links to sales data as well.

This is a really good video even for people that follow Tesla every business day.

According to market research firm Factual Inc Tesla customers most visited the following competitor's dealers.
Despite Prius being the #1 Model 3 trade in people didn't visit Toyota to look at 2018 Prius or any other Toyota.
Despite LEAF being #5 Model 3 trade in people didn't visit Nissan to look at 2018 LEAF or any other Nissan.
Despite Accord and Civic being #3 and #4 on Model trade in list Honda is only number 10 on the cross shopping list.
I take it the most cross shopped vehicle for Model X is the Range Rover PHEV. I thought it was the Cayenne PHEV.
- Jaguar Dealer
- Land Rover Dealer
- MINI Dealer
- Volvo Dealer
- Audi Dealer
- Volkswagen Dealer
- Porsche Dealer
- BMW Dealer
- Lexus Dealer
- Honda Dealer

My memory might be flawed here, but I thought all Tesla employees get ISO's, even the sales staff?
I wouldn't assume all those luxury brands are being cross shopped PHEV vs EV. Could be a lot of ICE vs EV - many people are just looking for luxury and style (both of which are in the eye of the beholder), so I would expect a fair number of S/X buyers were cross shopping against ICE rather then PHEV.

But the PHEV doesn't sacrifice either luxury or style. And it generally doesn't cost more or at least not significantly more after incentives. But we can't know for sure unless we ask.
The only one that sacrifices luxury in their premium PHEV vs ICE version is Cadillac. And that is not on the list.
The Cadillac CT6 PHEV is really a POS. PHEV and gets 25 MPG after the traction battery runs out of juice.

If they were any good they'd get it by doing research, you know, like we do here. There is no excuse for writing inaccurate articles. They are either lazy or have an agenda.
ISOs are at market price when granted; RSUs are zero basis. Accelerated vesting of ISOs when there is a RIF may not be all that wonderful if the share price is not above the value at time of grant.
