Just tell them that you wipe after every use. That is even more than "every so often"

Is there a reason you didn't pull over safely in those 30 seconds rather than having it stop in the middle of the street?

Yes, that is a more specific term, but if you want to use specific terms, then you should call it an IC engine (or ICE) to distinguish it from a non-IC engine. Regardless, that doesn't change the fact that saying it is not an engine is incorrect. That would be being dictionary inaccurate.

That would be false. Engines: "a machine for converting any of various forms of energy into mechanical force and motion" Merriam-Webster The more you know!

exactly. note that the author of the article kept saying •”must” when the above says “should”, “if possible”, “is ideal”, “please consider”. there is a difference this improper editorializing and getting the facts wrong shows the author is peddling fake news and is not particularly credible.

May want to ask them to check out those seams while you are there.

If you actually believe that Tesla will be a trillion dollar company, than you should sell everything you have and load up on TSLA. Where else are you going to find a 30x return like that?

24,500 is no more suspicious than 24,542 or 24,442. The odds are 1/100 that a number ends in 00 or 01 or 02. No, it was listed as conservative because it only includes cars that were delivered and paperwork delivered. So what everyone else in the industry does as standard practice, Tesla views...

The Not too hard to understand. They gave and reaffirmed guidance of 80-90k cars delivered. The price had that expectation built in. This result and the expectation they will do the same or a bit better means they will likely miss the low end of the guidance.

it really depends on the guidance, doesn't it? The guidance they confirmed after Q2 was 80-90k for the year. If they do 25k in Q3 and have guidance that says they will 30k in Q4, then they will be in the middle of the yearly guidance, which would be ok. If they steer to the low end of the...

Where does Google say that Apple's share of the market is 18% globally and declining? Their Q1 sales were 18% but that is not their share of the market. As for your Tesla numbers, that also is not share of market, but sales within a period.

That is because Tesla still isn't done with the second step of the first master plan. The second step was to create an affordable EV. The Model 3 is that car as it comes in around the average price of a new car fits the bill of an affordable car, and with the number of pre-orders should be...

Of course he is writing it for the public: congrats on the great quarter so far. then have it show up on twitter. LOL.

Coincidentally, Solar City just appointed a "Small CFO"

It is WRONG to complete the paperwork and sale for a car and not deliver it because it isn't available. Good for Elon for calling that out.
