    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    FYI, I reserved about 7:35 Pacific time, and still haven't gotten an email, but this morning I created a My Tesla account with the same email, and about 4 hours later I saw my reservation number in My Tesla.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    I invested back in 2011 - sold earlier this year for a nice profit. I sold because I thought they were going too crazy buying up other 3D printing companies, and would be hurt on the low end by MakerBot. Currently, I don't think the low end matters too much, but I do still worry about them...

    Model S featured in Asphalt 8 game

    I bought the game as well. The car is rendered very nicely and is fun to race with. I'm probably being WAY too picky, but a few things bothered me: - The Model S is in the lowest class of cars, along with a Dodge Dart (?) - When you crash, all the doors fly off (doesn't happen with a few of...

    Why did you invest in Tesla?

    I got in numerous times around $27 - $35. For me, this was almost a no-brainer, but I normally don't invest in companies that don't make a profit (Tesla didn't at the time), so that was my biggest hurdle, along with filtering out all the noise and FUD. I was too chicken to get in at the IPO, but...

    Random Model S sightings

    It was near South Hills Village - Bethel Park / Upper St. Clair. The snow is great here - we're actually building an igloo in the back yard :smile:

    Random Model S sightings

    Just saw a red Sig at a Home Depot near Pittsburgh. It's the first Tesla I've seen - looks awesome "in person".

    Solar City IPO

    I'm in at $9.25 at the start of trading - only 35 shares, though, in my small speculative account. Red flags all over this one, but I'm going on theory that Elon can do no wrong, and will get things straightened out :-) Also going on the theory that if everyone is thinking the same thing (that...

    Dave Metcalf and son Adam break the 400 miles challenge! Incredible...

    I've read that if you drive slightly off-center, you can counter some of the effects of this, the idea being that there are slight grooves in the road that fill with more rain where people usually drive. I definitely appreciate the record, and congrats to you, but 25mph in a 70 is really...

    TSLA Investor Discussions

    I was confused about this, too. I think he's trying to say that the analysts are not taking into account that the reservation part of the cost of the car has already been received - the analysts are modeling the full price of the car as new revenue. BTW, Tesla's latest 10Q states that the...

    First look at the Supercharger?

    Actually, it looks transparent in the illustration (and it looks like it turns your car transparent, too) :smile:

    GenIII, "We really need to find a better name for it"

    I like the Model T connotations, but to avoid confusion, how about Model ET :-) I was thinking "Tesla AC" might be a cool name for one of their cars.

    Dent on home page production line picture?

    :biggrin: Me too. Just thought it was strange they used it as their home page picture - it jumped out at me the second I saw it.

    Dent on home page production line picture?

    It's probably just the way the light's reflected, but it sure looks like a dent.
