I expect that they are using the delays to the approval to dial in all the systems in Berlin, so the ramp could be quite quick. Also Berlin and Texas have the benefit of the giga casting to reduce complexity and less complexity = faster ramp. 2022 could be more like 1.9m delivered

or Tesla could ship those cars to Europe? Make the sale and make everyone happy(er)

Some months ago, my eldest daughter purchased her first call ($600 Jun 16, 2023). Being new to options, she was rather confused at the $19,400 purchase price and had regrets that she might not even cover the option cost. Today, she is sitting on an (unrealised) $29k+ profit. Good for her...

It looks like they have spent $800k buying these options that expire in 37 days time. Does anyone believe that they will come good?

My daughter provided some background: I [she] was baffled by Tesla's rapid drop today and decided to probe a little deeper. I soon stumbled on this article: Is This Why Tesla Just Plunged? | ZeroHedge - it seems someone bought 223,000 way OTM Tesla puts with a $20 strike for March. After...

Over 271,000 March $20 put orders have been executed today. Is someone using these to depress the share price? Something to do with NOPE Net Options Pricing Effect?

I have FSD but just updating to 2020.29.17 now ‍♂️

Fantastic background. Scope though for a smaller car a per the design images from the China design studio?

The cell capacity also helps. How to build a second GF for free - double the Wh/kg

Its a US stock, so you always need to convert to USD at spot rates to do an accurate % delta (the EUR value can change just because of FX changes)

TSLA price pre market being reported in the Financial Times Subscribe to read | Financial Times

When TSLA moved to second place with a market cap of over $100bn, I thought it would take some time to better Toyota Motor Corp. looking like that may come far sooner than I expected...

MS MCU1 - Voice commands hardly work after this update. Example voice commands (as per release notes) do not work. ‘Set temperature to 23 degrees’ responds with ‘Enabling climate control’ but does not change temp. If I turn climate control off, the command does turn climate control on but no...

You always need to consider the USD/EUR exchange rate to understand if this is a pop in the share price or just exchange rate fluctuations. Currently TL0 is €436 or $484.74 at current spot rates. Current pre market in USA is $484.

The congestion charge is there to reduce congestion. There is an incentive for 'green' cars to help promote reduction in pollution, however, the real kicker for London is the Ultra Low Emission Zone: To help improve air quality, an Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days...

If you look that the Frankfurt exchange (ticker TL0), you will see the price is at €443.15. Converting that to USD gives $492.30, so it's a little up in European markets. Colour fixed. (ps, don't worry about the red TL0 price - driven by the exchange rate).

Good point, however, for longer road trips, there needs to be sufficient capacity for overnight charging to be able to ‘fill’ the battery in time. A 7kw charger adds 20 miles per hour to my S. If the battery had a range of 500 miles, it would take 25 hours to charge from empty.

Well sort of NOA in the UK. No automatic lane changes (IIRC this is an EU regulation restriction at this time).

Works fine after 32.11 update (mcu1, 2.0 hw, S74D)

I got 32.11 today. Release notes -> blank page

Simple, just invite all the conspiracy theorists to stand on the X for the next on-land landing. That will solve the tweeting issue one way or another.

$5.93 equivalent here in the UK (US gal)

If you are only building 10k EV’s a year, then $250k is $5k per car over 5 years. Say you can take $5k off the pack price due to better energy density etc, you only break even. The cost of the tech is only compelling if you are making lots of EV’s and you have to believe it will get you those...

You also have to consider the improvement in cell density and also production efficiency improvements. The new Maxwell tech may double (or more) battery density over that period of time and the there is supposed to be a significant reduction in building footprint needed due to the dry battery...

I agree that the adoption rate is still slow, however, it is increasing significantly yoy. Looking at a market such a Norway where over 35% of new cars sold are all electric (up 13% from last year) and 29% hybrids. Difficult to model but maybe in 6 years, 1/2 the cars on the road are electric...

A second earthquake in Southern California. Larger at magnitude 7.1

The demise of the ICE will happen faster than you indicate. As more ICE’s go end of life, the total consumption of petrol/diesel will reduce resulting in the closure of filling stations making it more difficult to refill your ICE. Already here in the UK, there have been significant reductions in...

If it was compensation for tax credit loss, then should only be seen in the US. If a refresh in the pipeline, then more global. Any understanding how wide this reduction is being implemented?

No, you should have said the English woman's team. Britain does not play in the world cup. For clarification, Britain refers to England+Scotland+Wales (or whales as POTUS likes to call it). Throw in Northern Ireland and you have the United Kingdom.

TSLA shares up almost 4% in pre market. Big pop in the last 30 minutes. That has to hurt the shorts

Dealer torture “absolutely” works

A simple task for Thomas Jerome Newton (AKA Elon Musk)

Scientists turn hydrogen into metal in breakthrough that could revolutionise the planet Harvard have made metallic hydrogen. Possibility for room temperature superconducting magnets. Bring on plaid mode! This has to be a great development for the electric car, renewables and space - ie, all...

There is a brand new store opening soon at Canary Wharf (financial district in London) - I will take a look as soon as it is open and report back....

This is probably a big reason why goverments have supported Hydrogen rather than BEV as they could then tax the delivery, whereas electricity is used everywhere. There was a big push some years back to work out gantry systems for reading vehical use so that they could be charged based on road...

+ (not forgetting batteries from existing production. IIRC, S&X will continue with existing cell format, therefore, nothing from GF at this time.

And being so fast and so much cheaper to run, it would also be a great rival to the.... ICE S class and then they would have to depreciate all of those assets on their books and have ++ expenses setting up the new car and -- market cap.

There is of course, Formula E

Nah - it is probably Tesla paying trolls to bash the product :confused:

An example of what I would consider as something more elegant than solar panels stuck onto a roof. German company Huf Haus. Also contains water heating (panels at the top of the roof)

Interesting interview with the Head of the Office for Low Emmision Vehicles in the UK. Includes a comment that a major car manufacture has told him that their high end customers want electric cars and that that is where they are going.

Whatever whoever was doing, we are back in the world of green

Is it time to get more bullish on Tesla? Shares of Tesla (TSLA) closed Monday at new highs for the month. For the day, the stock gained over 3.4%, putting it in the No. 2 spot of Nasdaq 100 gainers. Volume driving this impressive move showed a nice jump as Tesla begins to put some distance on...

this is a function of better equipment, reduced equipment footprint and (probably) cell technology. The first two are likely to be in the first phase (as you would need to know th equipment capabilities to know what the impact was) and the later would be a rolling improvement to all and any part...

Go to somewhere like Kenyia and they use microbuses that pick up and drop off anywhere on the route.
