    Moderator overplaying power to manipulate posts

    I know this will be deleted but I would encourage posters to review posts removed to snappiness section. Most do not seem, in my opinion to belong there. Although this is destined to end up there, if we don't provide feedback we get what we deserve. I am grateful for the time moderators spend on...

    A cautionary warning

    Been thinking about this for a while. I run the risk of perhaps irritating some but I assure you this is not directed toward anyone In particular. Prior results are not predictors of future, that is so true. A rising market makes a lot of people look like experts. It almost really doesn't...

    Average tesla buyer

    I am amazed how little scrutiny goes into data on media. Cnbc story today average tesla buyer. Income over 150k and age. No real questions on where data comes from. Edmonds presents it. Problems I see 1. No one ever asked my average income. How do they collect this from dmv who doesn't have...

    Service model

    My own service experience confirms musk idea of not making money off service. Don't yell at me but I damaged my model s. a spike sticking out one of those concrete stops you pull upto when parking caught on my front bumper. When I backed up it pulled my bumper half off. Pushed it on enough to...

    Daily Volume of tsla

    I remember not too long ago when daily volume of tsla trading was in the 800,000 range. With the first qtr report it dramatically increased. Wide swings obviously more trading than investing. Will it settle down? When it does, excluding short squeeze events will it ultimately raise or lower...

    Use of nav hides traffic indicator

    I rarely use nav but did on recent trip I found that the nav route indicator obscures the yellow/red of traffic indication. Needed to turn off nav to see that. Obviously not a huge concern but it would be useful not to have to do so

    Autodata estimates

    I can't find any of there data from 1st qtr to compare to actual sales. How accurate are they? I believe they go by registrations. Wonder if there is an issue with tesla being relatively new with them collecting data. Anyone out there know. The latest release puts sales aroun 4000 for the 2nd...

    Nobody mentions Buffet as potential buyer

    Now before dismissing as totally crazy 1. Good fit for buffet buys well run companies that he understands. Although avoids tech he understands cars 2. Good fit for musk. Buffet doesnt interfere in running of companies he buys Musk would have total autonomy and maintain credit he is due...

    Andrew sorkin/squawk/tesla bias

    I can remember watching squawk on cnbc when they discussed broder interview and sorkin defended broder. Since then if tesla comes up he is mute. Never understood this until I found the following article in : business insider. July 8, 2010. It was by musk making a painful attempt to correct the...

    Watched who killed electric car

    This does belong in investment thread. Finally got around to watching it and amazing similarities to what is going on now. No demand, can't build, can't sell etc. zev credits, if no demand for ev than no need to pay them. Now seeing more hydrogen fuel cell articles just like initiative to get...

    FTC complaint

    Being from Virginia I had to pick up my car and purchase out of state. I have filed on line complaint with FTC and would hope others would as well. This denial of dealerships is really anticompetitive practice. The states involved have no issues with car safety since they follow the state...

    Estimate of car production

    Stated today nearly 20000 us cars sold and it would appear cars being delivered within 8 weeks of orders. Also stated that more will be sold in Europe than here. It would seem 21000 way way to low a number. No waiting list yet only 2 month delay from placing order to delivery. How can we...

    ShipS mentioned during cc

    I had to smile at reference to ships transporting tesla cars. How many cars fit on a ship? They should publish photos of first freighter filled with teslas
