Tesla continues to grow exponentially. With the massiv sales of new Model3 Tesla will have to build many new superchargers and/or expand the existing ones. Why does Tesla not follow the McDonalds model? McDonalds used to buy empty cheap plots of land and build a foodcourt there. As McDonalds...

whats happening?? +7% Is this all just the 103/100 Consumer reports?

after hours look bloody so far

Elons silence to Adam Jones question... Tesla is working on a direct competitor to Uber! BOOM I called it out Thesis: Tesla will focus and play a significant role in SelfDrivingCars Fleets.

Elon alreay called it "Gigafactoy 1" so they must have a second in plan already, maybe it will be in china.

OMFG Alex Jones really? Tinfoil head.

Now you have seen 168. Amsterdam Airport Enlists 167 Tesla Taxis - Gas 2

Today! EVs become more competitive with higher milage per year. Why do you think is the Model S used as a Taxi in so many places. Because at 70000 Miles/year the electricity cost are much lower then the cost for gas at 70000 miles/year, so even thought the initial cost for a EV are higher, over...

Its much cheaper to operate an EV then an ICE.

Teslas mission statement:to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible." SelfDrivingCar (shared) fleets will be a massiv catalyst for EV adaption. A SDC can drive to charge itself up when the owner doesn't have a...

very well said a counter anecdote: Im 27 myself and would consider myself among the millennials. And most of my friends are quite successful, and could if they wanted own a 50k$ car or better. Yet most of them don't have cars, and if then its a basis model VW or Audi. (im from Europe) They...

Sorry but reading this gave me pain. Every single sentence is basically ridiculous. Jonas is talking about shared fleets, not shared personal cars. Millennia's just don't care about car ownership, in fact its just considered a huge hassle and big cost point. People just want to have an on...

So I guess its save the announcement of a new 100kw Battery option for the Model X release. Since it wouldn't make much sense to have the two battery options so close. 70kw to 85kw is just a 20% increase. 60kw to 85kw was a 41% increase 70kw + 41% = 99kw. I think Tesla will keep this gap to...

so if TSLA should ever be worth 700B, like Elon said it would be (at least this is his bet) How many T$ will the shorts lose until they have enough?

What this forums always ignores is the comming impact of selfdrivingcars.A SDC that is owned privately could just drive to a charging station at night, which would reduce the infrastructure requirements for 100% EVs on the road.But besides that SDC will have a massiv impact on the current car...

World premiere of the Mercedes-Benz F 015 Luxury in Motion at the CES - YouTube Very interesting concept Zetssche notes: -The car will be on an electric skateboard (like tesla) -Cars in general will have a new image, as the third lving space, next to home and office I like the second point...

at what point should TSLA be affected by low oil prices? 40$? or how long does it need to stay that low or can stay that low. Clearly low oil prices results in low petrol price which make it less expensive to operate and ICE.

watching that cnbc segment gives me headache from all the IQ points I lost.

How do you see Bitcoin solve the volatility issue without a central bank like institution that steers the currency with the help of big reserves?

with each day that Tesla SC network is growing, and no other Manufacturer dont start to to deploy a fast charging network. It becomes more and more economical just to Join Tesla Network and pay licensing fees. Remember each network grows exponentially in their utility with each new nod...

And I believe it, because the insta torque is unmatchable. We have to keep in mind that the P85D is a stock version family car. I would like to see a "tuned" P85D with slicks and settings that are maybe bad for longterm reliability but give push it under 3 sec. 0-60.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk (2014) - YouTube Must watch for every Elon fanboy, Interviewer asks very personal questions "how much coffee do you drink" quite interesting view into his daily life.

Dropbox - SE_press_release_10232014.pdf nerds :D

I guess it will be a seamingless transition from Tesla Motors to Tesla Aviations. so in 2025 Elon will become chairman of Tesla Motors and focus on Tesla Aviations. I hope Tesla Aviations will be part of Tesla Motors, I want my TSLA to grow. Because being CEO of one company is to boring.

ohh stop it, the internet is just a fad

Of all the viable arguments you come up with a fear mongering "OMG TERRORISTS"? What about Quadcopter drones, anyone can build one today for a couple grand, can manoeuvre it wherever they want, with 20+ lb. payload. Even with a live broadcasted cam so the can navigate behind direct visibility...

Very intresting conversation with Elon at MIT AeroAstro Centennial Webcast

TM should make that an option Anti-carjacking device - YouTube

I think dealers are overrated nowdays. Yes its sad that Tesla is banned in many states. But in todays world more and more people are just got used to ordering stuff online without really trying it before or they saw/tried with friends. At some point the fight for a stare licence compared to...

OMG Supercharger for Pootin

I think you are the one here with the illusion that the future will be the same as the past. Those are the same arguments that ICE heads use to dismiss EVs, it only shows the ignorance towards the discussed topic Rich people Use Hotels, Fly Commercial Airplanes, Rent big holiday homes. And...

That is a incorrect assumption. You assume that Fleet Cars will be the Avg. EV+Tons of Sensors. The current design and engineering have a lot of planned obsolescence or are at least not designed for a heavy Fleet use. A big Fleet player could design and engineer their own cars. With parts that...

jhm intresting point of view. But you ignore the very possible disruption of the Personal Automobile itself. In my opinion the future of the Car Industry will be Google Self Driving Fleet, the Cars drive totaly autonomous from place to place and pick up and transport the users, with an Uber like...

-Musk was on the 9.9 in Japan to deliver the first models to their owners. So only 3 weeks passed. -Its known that they wanted to push the Q3 sales numbers by having no cars on the boats by the end of Q3 so Production comes close to sales. therefore the amount of cars shipped to japan was small...

I would have been disappointed about an X yesterday, that would be a great waste of publicity and air time on the news. Spreading announcements over separate events brings much more free media coverage. Now the media will talk a few days about the 0-60 in 3.2s and Autopilot. 6-8weeks later we...

Judging by the Music of the livestream, this will be a rave.

the USAToday screw up, could have an upside for tesla, they could agree for some extra articles and coverage about the Model X,

using the same method, the Model X with closed doors should have a 1,69m or 5.6 feet hight

I did a little calculation. The picture is from teslamotors.com so if the proportions are right Model S vs Model X, then my estimations should be pretty accurate.

ist the 7500$ tax credit also aplicable on used EVs, where the pre owner maybe already used a tax credit already?

any opinions on the Oil price in the influence on TSLA? If WTI Crude drops to: -80 -70 -60 -50? Also the implications for the world economy of such prices.

my money is on that.

I would like to see a P105D+

I dont see how that would make any sense. China should get the second factory. reason: 1. The TTSIP inter Atlantic trade agreement will have free trade, so Tesla can just ship the Models from US to Europe. 2. China is the biggest market for Tesla outside of US, and its close to all the other...

I would like to see that in the final model

I should start an Internet Slang Consultancy for CEO that are out of touch with the interwebz. Second time Elon pulls that. 1. at SpaceX he was talking about the "money shot" 2. now about to "unveil the D" If it will be a dual motor drive for the Model S, I see the joks on the web already...

The Google Fleet service will keep it clean. Its trivial to implement a camera in the interior that makes a picture before and after each drive and a software that quickly checks if the interior is clean and empty. They could also use infrared cameras to see if the seats are wet. In addition...

Scenario: Google opens its own "Uber" with the SDC technology, they will design, engineer and manufacturer (contractor) a fleet of dedicated SDCs. Those cars will be designed completely different than consumer cars. They will be robust und sturdy, the goal would be to minimize maintenance as...
