Are you able to shed some light on Chanos' claim of, 'Top executives are leaving from every department', total BS (the departed exec's were fired) or just over-blown (1 or 2 left for other exciting endeavors)? TIA.

Chanos is on CNBC now - doing what he does best. Prepare for a dive?

Exactly! In my younger days, I was a first responder and I've been through a few of these natural disasters and solar with storage is the way to go. Heck, even during stormy weather, you'll still typically enjoy 10%-30% of the KWh generation that you'd experience on a sunny day. ICE gensets...

Thank you for posting, Smorgasbord! We had hoped to attend but had to cancel last minute due to PR (parental responsibilities) so we were there in spirit and the pics help fill the emotional void. I'm curious, did any Roadster owners from the L.A. area make it up? And if so, what's the scoop...

Its not the size of the portfolio that matters, rather, that your portfolio is bettering the world!

Well said, Bonnie. I welcome the day when our country becomes aware to the fact that us tearing ourselves apart is exactly what hostile entities to our nation long to cultivate.

Quick little data point: Yesterday, a crew of 3 from Solar City, DBA Tesla Energy, installed an A/C Powerwall II (PWII) at our home. The install was smooth and the team was very professional. The post installation grid failure/PWII take-over test was perfect. The remaining deliverable, off-peak...

I suspect eventually most everyone will have an EV, therefore, I build-out all my properties with at least a 200 A panel to support 1 HPWC (or a similar J1772 charger) and a couple of NEMA 14-50 to accommodate visiting guests and additional EV equipped residents. As a side note, we have 4 EV's...

When the notion of 'raping the earth is essential for prosperity' is (widely) debunked - The renewable sector would do well to up their game in terms of offsetting pro-FF groups such as the API et al..... except that won't happen until the production constraint issue is behind us. Shorter...

Mr. Lump, Thank you for the link to the interview! Was your take-way different from mine?

That's profoundly interesting as BP is probably the single most culpable party in planting the seed that grew into the mess we have today in the middle east - That statement doesn't excuse the U.S. from their mistakes, such as weapons of mass destruction et al. Google "CIA Iran TPA-JAX" for...

From CNBC: Trump hosted a meeting with bankers today and directed his cabinet staff to deregulate the banks within 6 months. CNBC featured a banker (didn't get her name), that implicitly called for the return of stated income loans and claimed that 'professional bankers don't need to be...

Congratulations! The S is a great car, period. Your consumer actions send the strongest possible message to the various industries and help expedite much needed changes in our markets and public policy. I see you live in So-Cal so solar PV is a possible and prudent investment that will insure...

Looks legit to me too! I noticed that "national security" and "social justice" are missing from the survey; in the old days, us early adopters (Roadster owners), would periodically get together at various Tesla events, my informal polling of the participants indicated that national...

I don't know about the broader market, but I sure as heck have! As soon as the POTUS announced his first travel ban, in the most inflammatory manner possible, I felt his volatility was confirmed and I immediately executed a phased plan to increase my defensive posture. Also key to my decision...
