Tesla uses an inductive motor. They need to apply a current to create the magnetic field. This takes energy. Other brands use (rare earth) permanent magnets in their motors, thus the motor can bring the car to a complete stop. The benefit of the Tesla system is that they don't need to mine the...

I think the disparity comes from the definition of "normal" roof. Was your comparison against a steel/tile roof? Or just a standard asphalt? Also, how long will this $15K roof last? If you have to replace it once in there, that means you're now up $30K.

It is now. $1330 deposit.

Taking a really quick look at the source code on the page I see: solarTileCostPerSqFt":42,"standardTileCostPerSqFt":11

My first question is "Why is the tesla tile oriented as portrait, but the others are landscape"? Would that have any bearing on the results?

To clarify, from the letter: " Model 3 production to 5,000 vehicles per week at some point in 2017" That would mean 250k Model 3 cars min in 2018 + MS + MX

Didn't hear the talk, but this way even legacy, non autonomous ICE could go in the tunnels without gasing up the joint.

Can you exaplain a bit more? I'm not familiar with how modulating the DC current would give higher total energy integrated over time. By pulsing the DC current, you will have periods of high current, followed by zero current. With lasters you want to pack as much power in to a small duration as...

May 3 for Q1 Results meeting

Agreed. I find that when only the front or only the backs are down there is a "pulsing"/"beating" noise. I usually open the opposite corner window to reduce the sound/pressure beating. I find that the air is refreshed much quicker this way too... outside air comes in the front and inside air is...

I thought selling and buying was always balanced. :D

Well, in the last 5 trading days that wouldn't have worked on Thursday, Friday or Monday.

Cool... a new colour! Wow.. that spoiler hangs out pretty far.

Source? I've only seen images of 17.11.3. Doesn't look like a kernel/ui update included. But it does have AP improvements.

What about the high resolution maps? Black/white listed items of interest?

When you buy the car you'll also have to pay HST. Will there be many people willing to give up their $14k discount, plus pay their HST, plus your HST, plus your mark up?

Tesla - Current Report From the 8-K just filed: Mr. Ahuja will have an annual base salary of $500,000 and will receive a $15 million new hire equity grant (in the form of RSUs or stock options, or a combination thereof), which will be granted and will vest over four years in accordance with the...

You're likely being sarcastic, but there is a cap of $150K. The FF91 was said to be "under $300K". I don't think it will be under $150K.

I don't think this definition works for an agile work flow.

Well, I am hesitantly excited! On one hand we hear statements from Reuters saying Tesla will start pilot production on Feb 20th, BUT on the other hand we have a statement from Tesla saying they're shutting down to upgrade paint facilities and other general maintenance. I can't help but think...

From Twitter: @elonmusk @Veidit did you just drop a hint that 3 will have 100kWh??? Elon MuskVerified account @jovanik21 @Veidit No, will be lower. Wheelbase can't fit 100.

But try to do that twice in a 3-day period and I think you'd run in to problems. The sale of the first can be used to buy additional shares. But if you try to sell those newly purchased shares before they settle you'd then be "free riding". That's against the rules. Also, I don't think...

I find it interesting that a large majority of the incidents occur on wet roads on Oct 14, 15, 16th. Maybe somebody was trying to work out a bug and ran a few hundred miles in adverse weather to see how it handles.

All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware

I think they were just using Tesla's name to boost their stock. Nowhere do they specifically mention an agreement with Tesla. I have my doubts about them being a part of the Gigafactory lithium supply.

Up 1.2% in frankfurt.

Any chance that they are removing seat options due to a new interiour? As they sell out of stock they just remove the option? We saw grey seats go a while back.

I think ccutrer took exception to your implication that the 60 provides a better charging profile than the 75.

Can you point out the part where they say 3C? The only thing I could find was "With a 20min charge, you can have a driving range of up to 500km which is 80% of the capacity" 20 minutes to 80% is only 2.4C

Wait, so you think some government agency is going to make it required that all cars on the road must read traffic signs? That would surely clear off lots of cars from the road real quick.

Anders Bell of Volvo only started in December. I'm sure any design they've had in mind for the S or X before the '3' reveal is already done and won't be attributed to Anders.

The pack cannot be charged quicker than the individual cell. If you put too much power in to the cell at any given time it will burn out. It doesn't matter how much voltage, current or active cooling you have available, you cannot charge the tesla cells much faster than about 1C (on average...

Voltage has nothing to do with the charging rate a battery can accept.

Seems like we've been matching oil pattern for the last two days.

But if you put cardboard down in freezing rain you now have wipers frozen to cardboard which is also frozen to the glass.

Charged the next time you bring in your car for service.

Hold on... by "join", do they mean they are attending the same meeting as the transition team? I.e. "would you join me for lunch", doesn't mean you will become part of me.

Is this the first reporting that also includes the SCTY shorts?

I am far from an expert on this, but I don't think you can base this purely on distance from centre. The cell is layers of different material rolled up. The thermal conductivity varies based on materials. If one of those materials in the roll is a thermal insulator, then the quicker path of heat...

Wouldn't more cars with AP2 hardware speed up the process? More distance and verification in shadow mode are possible in a shorter period of time with more cars delivered.

I'm curious how the new AP2 hardware is being installed now. I'll bet the switch over on the assembly like took a bit of while causing down time. But if things have been redesigned to allow the robots to now install the wiring then there should be no problem picking up any slack due to down time.

The chart is for US Sales.

they're up

Think there is any chance Tesla buys out Pure Energy after their PEA is complete?

Just takes time. My TD direct investing still shows SCTY as halted and none of my shares have transferred to TSLA yet.

Also, there is nothing stopping them from offering a smaller amount of supercharging credits with the Model 3. The plan details aren't released yet.

This may be a bit off topic, but how does quad improve mileage? I can understand dual motor as each one has different gearing ratio, but I imagine you'd want to keep left/right ratios balanced. The quad motors may help with traction... but I'd imagine that's marginal.

I wouldn't value the solar roof for it's range extending capabilities, but for range reduction mitigation. If I park at a hotel, airport, or any other long term parking spot, I'd be happy to have energy trickling in instead of coming back a few weeks later to have it not able to make the return...

Who is having an ER relevant to SCTY today?
