    Elon's email: suggests Model X Founder Series options max out at at $25k

    Was thinking the same thing when I read this. Just adding up the Model S options one can get well above $25k easily. If they price the X single % above Model S, the Founder's Series base price will have to be ~$110,000 and include most upgrades standard. If I remember correctly they did...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

    Gigafactory partners/investors? Details of why they purchased the additional land surrounding gigafactory? Model S refresh? P105D? Oh, the possibilities! If it's like any of the other press conferences, buy the hype, sell the news.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

    US markets are closed Friday for the 4th of July holiday weekend. Tesla will probably release numbers on Friday but the US market won't be able to react until Monday. The only thing I can think that may push us higher over the next two days is if Tesla advises the date of the Model X first...

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    Cars don't retain value like diamonds do. If a diamond sits in storage for a year it will have roughly the same value. Inflation/deflation would have an affect on pricing, but that would apply to almost all goods. The age, milege and condition of a car vs cost new dictate perceived value...

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    It does appear that Tesla is limiting listings to 40 max per location. Chicago, Los Angeles & San Francisco are maxed out. Why they are doing this doesn't make sense to me. What's the point of only showing a portion of your inventory when you control the pricing? Tesla is selling at least 1,000...

    Video: Falcon Heavy | Flight Animation

    It looks like they have changed the design of the second stage. It appears that the "skin" of the second stage stays with the first stage. The second stage slides out of the rocket shell most likely making the second stage less expensive and easier to manufacture. It would be interesting to know...

    Supercharger - Coeur d'Alene, ID (LIVE Feb 2015, 6 V2 + 8 V3 stalls)

    Terrible location if this address is true. The parking lot of a realty and optomitry office building? Texas RoadHouse is close by and Red Lobster is across HW95, but not what I would consider convenient in the winter. I would think they would have picked a location closer to I90, which is the...

    Harris Ranch is not working 11/18/14

    Because of ZERO Superchargers? Some of us have to drive our ICE this weekend because we can't afford an EV with enough range to meet our daily needs. Sorry, I've lost all sympathy for those who get to drive the most progressive automobile on the planet but don't have Superchargers near by. ;)...

    Sales tax calculation: based on service center location or my registration location?

    I've purchased cars in different counties in California than my residence and always paid the tax rate for the county I reside. CA tax on autos for out of state purchasers only applies if you take possession of the car in CA.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2014

    Grid storage, grid storage, grid storage. I'm guessing huge R&D investments in grid storage. When they were talking to Apple, it wasn't about an iCar. When they were talking to Google, it wasn't about autonomous driving. How many other companies are there that use a ton of energy that would...

    Tesla's new Lathrop, CA facility

    CNC machining is different than cutting and stamping sheet metal. Each process envolves different machines / production lines. We need to think big picture like some others have pointed out. Model S volume is increasing, Model X is coming online in less than a year and Model E / GenIII is around...

    Model S can be recharged faster than filling a gas tank.

    What if it doesn't actually swap the battery? The battery just drops down and direct connects to high voltage power line and super chilled coolant? Would it be possible to charge from 10% to 80% in less than 5mins?

    Crowd fund to advertise Tesla?

    The link should be to the gallonsoflight.com website. This is an Owner/Enthousiast driven campaign, if the link is to the Tesla website people clicking on the link will question if this is really driven by Tesla and it undermines the credibility of the campaign. Once on the gallonsoflight.com...

    Reserved S today and finalized at the same time

    This is just my opinion, but I don't think it will have that much effect on Q2 and going forward. They are aggressively driving down costs so the cost to make each car is going down and there are the 85's that ordered Red and/or standard suspension that will be delivered in Q2 in addition to new...

    Elon Musk

    I know a lot of adults admire Elon and acknowledge his acomplishments that he has been able to acheive in a relatively short period of time, but is Elon becoming an idol to todays youth?

    Reserved S today and finalized at the same time

    I don't think there should be any concern with some configurations being available in 4-6 wks. As far as I know it is only US bound 85kWh (P), air suspension, non red. Tesla has been building this configuration as fast as they can since they launched last June. All that has happened is they...

    Wired article on 4th and 5th Tesla vehicles

    Four new vehicle launches in 3yrs (X=2014, Midsize=2015, Crossover & Roadster2=2016) is very aggressive, I hope they can pull it off! I'm thinking a capital raise is most definately needed to meet this timeline.

    Inside Tesla - 08.21.12

    I'm not a tire guy, but you can put 265's on rims that have stock 245's, at least for smaller rim sizes. Only experience is pickups. Not sure about lower profile tires like the 265/35ZR21.

    GenIII, "We really need to find a better name for it"

    Model M gets my vote. BMW uses 'M' to indicate their higher performance, Tesla could market it as "Our entry level mid-size sedan starts at M."

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    I was guessing around 10% dropped, deferred or delayed. I included the R list (forgot about Canadian Sigs, sorry to those neighbors in the north) but I also based my calculation on the thought that they are not able to deliver all cars within 24hrs of exiting the production line due to...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    If they are going to get anywhere close to 5,000 deliveries by year end and maintain the 3-4 month production window they are going to have to have the 5,000th car configured by the end of September. If we see P4,000 contacted by the end of August then Tesla is at least still planning on...

    Model S Factory Ramp - Speculation

    Could be a combination of reasons; without the battery installed there may be holes through the bottom, a place to rest tools, or to protect the aluminum frame during interior assembly.

    Gen III Range & Pricing Speculation

    It has been stated by Elon and others at Tesla that they are shooting for the base GenIII to cost in the $30k's. I expect the top of the line fully loaded GenIII to be above $60k. The BMW 3-Series tops out at over $60k. They will easily sell a Performance GenIII coupe for more than $60k. Look at...
