found link to this re Mayor Pete's plans: "Zero emissions vehicles. We will immediately enact more stringent vehicle emission standards, requiring that all new passenger vehicles sold be zero-emissions by 2035, and all heavy-duty vehicles sold be net-zero emissions by 2040. We will work to...

Fred acts as stenographer for VW (copy/pasting of press release, without critical thinking, while he takes a microscope/cynicism machine to nearly everything Tesla ever states). VW unveils production version of ID.3 electric car: starts under $33,000 with range up to 340 miles - Electrek seems...

As you can verify on Tesla's website, my configuration, detailed below, is currently selling new for $58k (including the $1.2k destination/doc fee... I've rounded down to $58k). Red Dual Motor White Interior 18" Wheels FSD I picked the car up 9/1 of last year, but, I have put on 14.5k miles...

Ex-SolarCity employees: We were fired after reporting millions in fake sales – Ars Technica and allegations from multiple people of discrimination, homophobic, and sexist activities :/

This idea has come up here before more than once... Galileo Russell has shown the time may be here. Great job Gali if you're out there! Thanks for blazing a well useful trail! Idea would be for a TMCer to be on the call with a list of crowd sourced questions from all of us, ready to keep...

Generally there's a handful of bear narratives that are repeated, often for years, in the media. Thought it would be more efficient to share a few rebuttals on these common narratives that anyone can feel free to use without attribution in various comment sections of articles, social media...

I just counted 25 stories on Yahoo Finance re the 4-5 day pause in Model 3 production, and 6 articles there on China phasing out the requirement of a JV partner for foreign auto factories there. Both of these stories are out less than a day, the pause longer than the news from China. The...

Had one in mind today, I’m sure many of us do. Tesla might read the thread. fwiw, by emphasizing CONSTRUCTIVE in title, I’m indicating the intent of this thread not attempting to dictate what anyone posts outside this thread.

Tesla Model 3 gets hacked, reveals more details and great potential for dual motor/ performance versions The Electrek article is nice, but the top post in the comments section has most of the new information.

Thought maybe I wasn't the only one who really enjoyed the moment as it happened, including the audio at the event, but had trouble finding a recording of it,

Bozi Tatarevic on Twitter City MPGe up by 5, highway by 3. Tesla continues to use the lower 310 mile range figure than the higher range from actual test results. Year to year EPA filing also shows changes to, 240V charge time with a standard charger: from 12 hours to 10 hours Luggage...

Entry Level Model S 2013 .................................................... Today Price*...........................................$69,500 ................................................ $69,500 EPA Range ..................................218 miles...

I won't put odds on this being effective, but, Tesla has been known to scan through TMC some, and perhaps a member here going to the meeting will consider asking one of our questions as well... so what do you want to see Tesla answer on Tuesday?

Elon's tweets yesterday created a lot of conversation. Thought it would be useful to have one place for this discussion from an investor's perspective.

I see I’ve written something more along the lines of an essay than a comment to start a thread, but, I still hope it’s useful and starts a discussion. It appears very probable we have an enormous moat around the growth of Tesla’s vehicle business the market does not yet explicitly appreciate...

last year global vehicle sales were roughly 85 million, and they are widely projected to be roughly 100 million in 2020. where will they be in 2030? outside of short-term shocks like the 2008 financial crisis, the trend has been upward for at least as far back as I could readily find data...

I don't have a lot of experience with what's repairable vs. in need of replacement in these circumstances and could use a hand. attached is a photo of the nail in the tire. when I found it I called Tesla's 800 number and they told me their policy was strictly replacements, no repairs. I've...

we've all seen the flood of stories in the financial media about Tesla Autopilot. so much of the coverage is misleading, aggressive and speculative in nature. as investors, that mass of noise can seem like an outrageous attack. let's not let this media swirl about the company we're invested...

in the many, many interviews of Elon Musk I've seen, several times he has been asked what advice he would give to someone starting a new business. Elon typically responds with two points, one of them always being (paraphrasing), seek out honest feedback about your plans and...

looking for a complete set of the original manuals that came with 1.5 Roadsters, including the metallic binder that held them. if you are interested in selling yours, please private message me to try to work out a price.

maybe I missed an existing thread, but I was surprised that I did not find much on this topic after browsing through a few searches here.

up until September I scanned every post in the short-term thread (and it's predecessor) to keep an eye out for new material information on Tesla for years. alas, the volume on the thread got the best of me. I suspect I'm not alone in feeling overmatched by the number of posts on that thread...

Eleven minutes long, Elon Musk - Autopilot available in 1 month - YouTube

First, to be clear, this is speculative exploration. Elon did not say Tesla will create their own Uber-like service yesterday. I don't see it as a material catalyst for the stock at this point. That said, I've started thinking about how profitable such a service could be and how it could push...

Suggestion for Upcoming Shareholder Meeting The annual shareholder meeting is a little over three weeks away. I've always found live Q&As between Elon and Tesla and/or TSLA owners very entertaining and often quite revealing. Of course, at times, many of us are left wishing those who had the...

Stumbled across Elon University on the web. They're located in North Carolina, and sure enough their online bookstore has gear that simply says "Elon" I might actually get a hat or t-shirt. MenBookstore

Thought we might want a place to discuss the CPO business. Hank Lloyd Wright here at TMC has created a wonderful "consolidator" page that gives us a considerably further reaching view into the CPO business than Tesla's own CPO section on their website. His file pulls data from Tesla's CPO...

This was a Q&A moderated by Baidu's Chairman, Robin Lee. Unfortunately, there's not much interaction between Elon and Bill, nor much of anything we've not heard before from Elon. The video has a Chinese translation going as they speak, but for now, this seems to be the only recording...

Twenty minutes, mostly about autonomous driving, some discussion of AI. Huang has had 3 Tesla's and is quite enthusiastic about the OTA improvements Tesla has delivered. Don't be thrown by the "part 9" in the video title, this is the complete interview. GTC 2015: NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang...

Review: The sublime Tesla Model S P85D - LA Times I found this to be a puzzling review, and would be very interested to hear what P85D owners think of the review. While quite a positive tone, there were some points that just don't seem right, all in an unflattering direction on some...

In Wednesday's earnings call, Elon suggested the scenario of Tesla growing to a market cap similar to where Apple's is today ($700 billion). His description implied revenues of about $350 billion per year in 2025. Elon explained that he envisions all this with little to no further capital...

Elon Musk Speaks About Tesla and SpaceX at Vanity Fair’s New Establishment Summit - YouTube twenty minute interview followed by audience questions

I think in the coming years Tesla will have several options for continued very high growth. I think it's easiest to see visibility in their growth in making their own vehicles, but at a minimum grid storage is another very large growth opportunity, even if not as easy to project what it will...

Cheer's to separating journalism from unedited blogging! as a "contributor" I received a lengthy Seeking Alpha email about this. here is the first sentence, "As of next Monday Yahoo Finance will no longer be displaying Seeking Alpha headlines on its website." Just a bit of background...

Asahi Shimbun (apparently one of Japan's five national newspaper's) wrote, "Panasonic is expected to sign a contract this month to help Tesla construct a plant and produce batteries for its vehicles. Initial operations at the plant are scheduled to commence in 2017 and become fully operational...

thought it made sense to have a thread on the investor's forum looking at the EU climate re Tesla from an investor's perspective. I'm particularly hopeful some TMC members from the EU can share some of their observations on Tesla's public perception. obviously post whatever contribution you...

this is a piece from February, 2013 that gives some depth on how the franchise system came into effect. they describe the origins of the protections in place for dealers as Tesla has... to protect a franchisee from being pushed around from a manufacturer who granted the franchise (going into...

I think the errors in this CNBC article are both massive and nearly impossible to have been inadvertent. it is by a contributor in CNBC, and I have confidence that if CNBC itself was aware of the grossly flawed nature of the article they would retract it. I put this in a separate thread...

I realize this is a ridiculously long post... but I put it in the comment section of a Seeking Alpha article, and seems like something worth having a discussion here... Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA): Looking Beyond Tesla As An Auto Company - Seeking Alpha TO BE CLEAR, WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS...

Was asked about comments earlier in the year on valuation and had that response. He did go on to say about right compared to other equities at this time, that equities overall are at a relatively high point. Not sure exactly when interview occurred but they did flash a $168+ price during the...

Unless I'm really misunderstanding how options work, this article seems like a blatant attempt to falsely imply that several Tesla executives used knowledge of Q4 delivery beat to their advantage. As I understand options, the price of these options were fixed months or more likely years...

Article mentions Elon is not at the show... unless there's a bit of gamesmanship going on, looks like we'll have to wait for a Model X reveal. Does not look like any change in launch timing. Better than average reporting, comments from Jerome Guillen and Diarmuid O'Connell. Detroit auto...

Short but sweet 5 minute video where Elon makes his case for the underestimation of potential of solar power and the ample availability of raw materials for batteries. Elon Musk Thoughts on transitioning to 100% renewable energy - YouTube

Rocco Pendola's has posted a "mea culpa" video regarding an unfair article he wrote in the Spring, and goes on to say that recent Tesla coverage has been quite unfair, and offers his analysis of where the bashing comes from. Elon apparently saw this video and gave two big thumbs up. Elon Musk...
