    2015 Q3 Discussion thread for Delivery numbers

    Funny sighting at Hawthorne supercharger today

    Friend of mine saw this woman in a Leaf pull into a supercharger stall today. You'd think that any Leaf owner would know that the SCs are "tesla only". So, maybe she was driving a company car... I hope she got to a charge station okay, I'm sure Tesla or Spacex would've let her use a 240...

    Tesla is red hot in China, for different reasons

    [My Belief] Elon would personally fund costs related to a recall

    I think an NHTSA recall is highly unlikely. Elon thinks the same. That being said, I think Elon would personally fund any recall corrective actions rather than allow recall costs to impact Tesla's financials. Agree? How long will NHTSA take to complete investigation? Thoughts? I'm...
