    Will the Model 3 be Ludicrously Fast?

    We know the Model 3 will be around $35k. So assuming we can expect a lighter car with a smaller battery than MS, would not then we expect acceleration to actually go up from the MS? So MS ludicrous mode does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds... Are we talking crazy ass performance for M3 at $50k and under...

    How does the Gigafactory equate to $100B of economic impact to Neveda?

    Does anyone know where they get the $100B of economic impact over 20 years = $5B/year number from? If they have 6,500 workers making $25/hr = $50k/year that equates to $325MM in salaries paid/year. How does that equate to $5B in economic impact?

    Dear Elon: How about a capital raise to pay down the DOE loan?

    Borrow costs have dropped significantly. If convertible arbs purchased the bonds it's very possible that they were bundled with a stock borrow at a guaranteed rate and this was factored into the overall deal price.

    Dear Elon: How about a capital raise to pay down the DOE loan?

    If they continue to kill the volatility they will be draining money from short term traders that lack conviction. Probably a lot of hot money traders are looking for continued quick gains from price swings, but I think it's more likely that were in a range for a bit. A couple of dollars up, a...

    Dear Elon: How about a capital raise to pay down the DOE loan?

    luvb2b- Look at the trading the past 2 days in TSLA. A marked decrease in price range. The company selling convertibles is genius: - It allows them to collect a the option premium which had been off the charts - The holders of the convertible bonds will hedge the stock exposure to lock in the...
