Hey guys, Long time lurker here... but yesterday my friend spoke with a VERY high up C level executive at Maxwell who said the deal with Tesla is done. Happy Friday...

Hey All! I just wanted to post a few pictures of my Model 3! I just crossed 1000 miles yesterday. Wow it's truly the perfect car! I've done a few modifications so far. I had it tinted and had a ceramic coating professionally done. The handicapped parking shots are just after the ceramic...

In the past I've seen a model 3 every few weeks, but yesterday I saw 5 of them in one day! Ramp is progressing nicely. :)

Pulled the trigger at 254.1! What an amazing buying opportunity!

@Troy I figure I would share some data as it might be relevant to the conversation. I am a former Tesla employee who reserved with a @Tesla.com email. I reserved on August 24th 2016 which was my last day on the job. I made 2 reservations. The reason my delivery estimate is important is that...

Hey guys, I'm really loving this thread, thank you all for your contributions. I thought I would chime in with some additional anecdotal information. One of my friends just received their Model 3 a few weeks ago. They let me check out the car in detail and ask a ton of questions. They...

@DaveT First off, I love you weekly emails and input. Thank you for your contribution to the tesla community. I had the chance to check out my friends model 3 yesterday in San Diego. I have passed along your offer to them and I’ll get back to you.

There is some new evidence to support DaveT’s assertion that Tesla may have delivered some VINs out of order. Highest I’ve seen delivered in pictures of is VIN 1090. An employee posted on Reddit he received his VIN number today (008XX) but doesn’t even have a delivery date.

I believe Elon is referencing the show Rick and Morty. In the show Rick is the smartest man in the universe and uses a portal gun. Elon and his kids are a big fan of the show. The creators of the show recently visited Elon at SpaceX. The show is a cartoon parody of Doc and Marty from Back...

Hey Guys, Long time lurker here. Love this forum and want to thank all of the amazing contributors. I wanted to provide some anecdotal details as I've recently been privy to. 1. Recently did a Tesla Factory Tour (Signed NDA so can't talk about it) but did briefly check out the parking lot...

Hey all, Quick question. How does the conversion of SCTY stock to TSLA work. Tesla announced that the offer was to convert at 0.122x - 0.131x of Tesla shares. Is this dependent on the fluctuation of TSLA stock price or is that locked in presuming Solar city accepts that bid? Does that mean...

@Julian Cox, I completely agree! There is no question, Telsa will get into the transportation as a service industry and your postulations about using a license upgrade via OTA make perfect sense. The timing of this will obviously be subject to regulation but will be the death blow to ICE...
