Agreed, the announcement of the 70D was the first real sign from Tesla that they are able to start moving up the demand curve. Very encouraging.

First thing I thought of was another increase in Supercharging rates/decrease in supercharging time.

It can be if signed a non-compete agreement with previous employer. Very rarely enforced though.

Shares available to short is back up to 500,000 at IB.

Thanks!

Thanks, then if my math is right, the Volt can draw as high as 12C! Hope one of the battery tech guys chimes in, I know this is the wrong thread though. I feel the mods circling.

Volt must be able to drawdown power from the batteries at faster than 4C. 10kWH*4C = 40,000 watts /745 watts/Horsepower = 53.7 Horsepower. Unless you are happy driving 54 HP ;)

Wow, no shares available at IB as of now. 90K this morning. The lending rate hasn't gone up yet. If this is for real, then the rate should go up tomorrow. Otherwise could be just a temporary TSLA shortage at IB. - - - Updated - - - For reference, IB had 3.5M TSLA shares available on...

PSA: Beware of members pushing new investors to purchase Leap Call Options. I have seen many members lose their shirts over the years doing that. Also, please do not sell Leap Put options, I lost my shirt in AAPL doing that a few years ago.

I see a lot of people throwing out this $700B in ten years number. I don't want potential investors to get ahead of themselves. $700B is the best-best case scenario, with perfect execution. Even with perfect execution and no further capital raises required. I think it's important to keep in...
