    Solution to Tesla Charging Woes in China

    I know Tesla has had some issues with charging in China because many people live in high rises and all the other bologna going on there. I saw this thing Porsche is doing and I thought.... Well that would pretty much solve everything. People like to live in high rises in China... What better way...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2014

    I have a brand new fully loaded Porsche 911 Carrera S (Sorry just a big Porsche and Tesla fan). The screen went out on that as well and theres no easy way to reset it. Oh and how about the windows randomly rolling down while I'm no where near the car!?!?!?!? STUPID IDIOTIC MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Help Planning! Long Island-Tupper Lake NY... trip

    Just google "RV Parks" There are tons everywhere with plenty of 14-50s. It's always fun to explain to the receptionist what size rig you have! Just remember to bring your Mobile UMC kit and adapters. Also plan ahead and make reservations at the RV parks on your route ahead of time.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    I'm thinking word might be out about the last prepayment from Apple. Also there was chatter about confirmation of the iPhone 6 having full sapphire display and Hyperion being used for cancer treatments.

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    Don't forget that you can easily charge at any RV PARK using your UMC with the 14-50 adapter. RV Parks are everywhere and usually only charge $20 for the spot. Just Google "RV Parks" and you will find them.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    @AudubonB: Any idea why some key executives appear to have been unloading some shares as of late? Check out all the Form 4s that were filed: GT Advanced Technologies Inc. - SEC Filings Were these prearranged sales? How can you find out?

    What other tech stock to consider?

    @AudubonB: It doesn't sit well with me either especially during this time period. He is leaving for some boring private equity job. I mean, I can see the private equity firm paying him a lot more however, personally, at his age I'd rather have a front row seat at a company trying to change the...

    @Curt: That is a little more comforting however, Elon also publicly stated that Tesla engineers were not working on improving the safety of the undercarriage with respect to protecting the battery pack. Looking through Tesla patents it looks like they were issued a new patent about a year ago...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    @Curt: I'll have to disagree with you about a completely clean bill of health from the NHTSA. I don't think they will do anything with respect to enforcing a recall or saying that the car is unsafe. What I am afraid of is that the whole situation could be the precedent needed to implement an...

    Preventing battery damage from road debris

    Yeah that is correct in the case of the Porsche. I would hope that Tesla could design one strong enough and with reinforcements that could plow anything out of the way up to 130 MPH.

    Alternative Energy Investor Discussions

    I think it's also worth mentioning that with the acquisition of Zep Solar, it looks like as SCTY grows they will be trying to diversify away some of their risk. I wouldn't be surprised to see more strategic moves in the near future that will diversify away risk associated with residential...

    Second Model S on fire (October 18th, 2013 in Merida, Mexico).

    Does anyone know if the volt was ever involved in a really bad accident that involved running over something? I see a few bad accidents but nothing that seems to have torn up the bottom of the car.

    One of my brokers called me when TSLA was around $100 to ask me if I saw some article. I laughed at him and said if I believed anything I read about TSLA I never would have bought it (or the car) in the first place back in 2010. Most of the people that write those articles have no clue what they...

    Hey I know it's been discussed here before but I am having trouble remembering off hand who SolarCity buys their panels from. I am about to look it up myself but figured I would probably get a faster response here. Let's start the clock to see who is first.

    Investing in Panasonic as a side-play in Tesla

    The subject of this thread should really be changed to "Why invest in Panasonic when you can invest in Tesla?" I would support a thread on some pure lithium plays but long term that's just not that sexy either when you start talking about Supercapacitors.

    Cost to Borrow Tesla Shares for Shorting Hits 85%

    I think that knowing how many shares are available to short and the cost to borrow is really important information. Should we start a new thread to track this information on a daily basis? A thread called "Tracking the cost to borrow shares of TSLA"?

    What other tech stock to consider?

    DaveT: How long ago was this? There are a lot of things I like about this name but I don't know of too many things I don't like. I know for sure one thing is that the lack of volume is a bit scary. The good part about that is obviously not many people are selling. Also no options on this name yet.

    Houston, TX

    @Skintrade: Call Anson at Vive for more accurate quotes but I think it's around $350. You should really polish the car first which will be an additional cost depending on how bad your surface scratches are. A stage 1 paint correction is something like $350 but I'm not sure. From what I...

    Houston, TX

    @Skintrade: The 22PLE is a nano ceramic coating that protects the paint and looks great. It adds depth to the paint to make it pop while giving you an extra layer of protection (much better protection than the clear coat provides). It also sheets liquids better than wax. You can also apply it to...

    I have had the 21s for 6 months now and do not have a scratch. I am very happy with them but I am super careful to avoid potholes and curbs as one should be with any car. If you get Opti-Coat or 22PLE applied it should help protect them and make them look great.
