$3 billion in cash with expected capital expenditures $2 billion during the second half of 2017. The coming Gigafactories won't be cheap. Anyone else expect a capital raise in Q4 2017 or sooner?

"Yes." has been added.

Tesla's next Gigafactory has a good chance of being in China. Would the country of manufacture affect your buying of a Tesla vehicle? For this discussion assume the quality will be the same as a Model 3 built in Fremont.

The Model 3 unveil event shows 8 modules at 9:52. Where are you getting 4 modules from?

A good test bed for the Boring Company would be for parking. A system with one or more lifts and and a simple underground loop would be all you need for parking. Parking is desperately needed at the Fremont factory.

I think the only thing Tesla might do is make a Model S/X using the small Model 3 battery (55 kWh). With the lower weight the range should be about the same as the software limited 60 kWh.

The Roadster isn't a good gauge for battery prices due to its very low production numbers (< 2500 cars). You can currently get the 5.3 kWh modules (1/16 of a 85 kWh battery) on eBay for $1300 each. The current demand is from hobbyist and maybe a few car repairs/upgrades. I would expect the...

It is highly likely Tesla will have to redesign the current charging system for Supercharger V3. If the battery pack voltage is raised to 800 volts a DC to DC converter will be needed just to be compatible with the existing superchargers. 100 kWh packs will get Supercharger V3 first and...

Many times existing wiring can be made into a NEMA 5-20 or NEMA 6-15 outlet for faster charging. It doesn't hurt to see what your landlord will pay for. Tesla — NEMA 5-20 Tesla — NEMA 6-15

Isn't the door unlatching every time the handle extends a standard failure of when one of the internal switches goes bad or a wire breaks. I'm surprised the NHTSA hasn't required a recall.

I doubt the Tesla Semi will have battery swaps. For time sensitive loads makes more it makes more sense just to swap the tractor and driver. Telsa could provide a service that coordinates this for a small fee. Truckers may not have to drive cross country anymore but be localized to a smaller...

Those are Velcro; can't have your stuff in space floating everywhere. Oddly the Crew Dragon doesn't look to have any Velcro (definitely not ready for prime time as shown).

This is what makes sense to me.

It is funny how the OP has been planning to troll this forum since Feb 1, 2017 (for those of you that can't tell that was sarcasm). Link to the original Danish forum topic Tesla Forum - Alt om Tesla Model S / Tesla Model X - Teslaforum.dk and Microsoft English translation...

Are you sure? The 90 KWh battery was released August 2015. If most people put 15,000 miles a year on the car then most 90 KWh battery packs have less then the required 30,000 miles. You can't feel facts and truth.
