I understand if it's some remote place like Saskatchewan then you probably need a charge as bad as I do. Just FYI though if your Tesla is plugged into the ONLY working L2 charger at the Outlet mall in Marysville that I have to use to charge my Leaf or I don't make it home because the ONLY fast...

I think they don't want to be bothered to come up with something that will be obsolete almost immediately without OTA updates. Yet another way the legacy fossils are screwed.

Tesla has to transport cars from Fremont to just outside of San Francisco to ship by sea? I'm not familiar with the area but just looking at the map it looks very inconvenient logistically. Seems like a bottleneck in need of some boring. (Or are they being delivered locally?) Also looking at...

Oh duh! Thanks. I don't know how I missed that. I love that guy's enthusiasm, but he's a bit of a hyperbull like some people I won't name. Also, he thinks crypto is totally the future... I am in the same situation. I went without a car for a year and found I really didn't need one at all...

I don't think the stock will do anything on Monday, since it is President's day and the stock market (in the US) will be closed. </sarcasm> I can't figure out how to vote on Elon's compensation package, probably because I have the world's worst broker - Capital One Investing. Luckily they are...

I'll take being more like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, etc.

I used to work on handheld scanners/computers and we cleaned touch screens with isopropyl alcohol all the time. It was some industrial stuff so not sure if it was 70% or purer, but the store bought stuff should be fine. You'd be shocked how often they came in with blue ink pen marks on the...

Then why are you on a Tesla fanclub message board? It seems like wasted energy/time on your part to even be here.

My guess is that it has something to do with the little ads at the top of every page and the effect on them of constant page refreshes when people want to argue. Same reason I predicted Facebook would show increased revenue after the BLM and Confederate flag debates. Same reason Google news is...

I hope Lutz lives long enough to see how tragically wrong he is.

We can also use lead ammo in national parks. Not sure how that makes anything great again.

I go back and forth between wanting to get away from it all, and wanting to be in the middle of everything. If money was no object I'd have to say either a small traditional village in Bavaria or Switzerland or a sleek modern condo in downtown Vancouver BC. The land of soft pretzels and good...

Why should someone without children help pay for another family's per-child tax credit? Why should a renter help subsidize a richer person's home through mtge interest credits? I would love it if my tax bill contained a poll where I could pick and choose which taxes I wanted to pay for, but...

I don't make enough to take advantage of it much anyway. It would have been used to offset taxes on stock gains, but that ain't happening right now either. I'll wait patiently for everything to get debugged and TSLA to go a lot higher. By then I might even consider a model Y since I really...

Landing a rocket on a ship? Show me another aerospace company that does that.

I'm an Elon cult-ie

WooHoo! IF I end up getting a M3 with my TSLA gains (rather than pay off the condo) this will be much better than Burlington which is too close to Bellingham to really be of any use to me. With the Peninsula build out that only leaves somewhere further along Hwy 20 to meet all my wishlist needs.

WooHoo! My investment in TSLA has now turned positive after riding down SCTY from near 52 week highs! (though I did lower my cost basis with a few very small buys.)

I don't think it was the seats that was the issue. 2004 was right around the time I was thinking of buying a Prius. It didn't seem to get much attention outside of California until it won some car of the year or other which is when I first remember hearing about hybrids, then demand went...

Mark B.S. is feeling the heat. From his twitter feed: "Respect the technicals but don't defer to them" @todd_harrison But yeah, if $TSLA breaks the old high I'll have to cut the position size."

Weekend OT conspiract theory: Tesla hiring 2 people with HUD expertise along with no instrument cluster screams HUD. I think people are getting hung up on the spaceship comment. Elon did say they weren't going to be too adventurous with the 3 at first, aiming for streamlined production and an...

I'm with CapitalOne Investing and I still have 75.14 shares. I'm planning on buying more shares 2017 1Q anyway when I finally have some extra cash. How hard is it buy .86 of a share?

2017 maps are up

I'm in the same situation. I've thought about it and I'd rather own the machine that makes the machines - TSLA. As they grow and the sp rises it will be hard to resist cashing out to buy the M3, but if things work out the way Elon described it I might be able to pay off my mortgage instead...

619 SCTY for.

The map of Australia on the current tab now includes almost the whole continent.

Reading through the proxy material now, and the background of the merger has some surprises. On page 58: "On June 2, 2016, representatives of Party A, a potential strategic counterparty for a business combination transaction with SolarCity, met with SolarCity management for an introductory...

Introduction | Tesla Motors Click on More, it's still there

Hey good news! End of TSLA/SCTY update post: "The Tesla Roadster entered production in 2008 and Model S in 2012. Deliveries for Model X coming in 2015."

I had a similar daydream, but also involved installing a J-1772 in the garage.

Well I cancelled on Monday. I still want my M3 but it will take many years now for me to afford for personal reasons already discussed so I'm stepping out of line. I'm pulling my money out so I can put it to work. Best guess when I will buy is 2020-2022 but hopefully all the bugs are ironed...

They could vote for another offer for the same reason Tesla engineers and execs jump ship to Apple and others - more money up front. Doubtful but possible. Maybe VW trying to polish it's green cred AND hurt Tesla? For the record I don't want the deal to go through on these terms, but I'd...

Long term, TSLA could be a monster. But I had it all planned out, anything above 52wk high nets me a M3 possibly in time for launch. Now I would need TSLA to hit $573. That's going to take a while.

563 shares of SCTY x $61.72 (52 week high) = $34,748. Just about M3 minus taxes. 563 x 0.110 = 61.93 rounded cruelly down to 61 shares of TSLA 61 x $271.57 (52 week high) = $16,565.77 You TSLA folks are getting a steal. {MODERATOR DELETED UNACCEPTABLE LANGUAGE}

Budget - completely unknown Savings - 563 shares of SCTY Currently looking for work so not sure when I'll be able to save. Was hoping to pay cash once SCTY turned profitable and the stock shoots up, but the merger really throws my plan into chaos since the exchange ratio is based on current...

I used the last of my available funds (for now) to pick up some SCTY at 6 cents above current low for the day. Max pain is at $28, low volume (which tends to favor movement towards MP, all things being equal), GF1 unveil party tonight, plus recent widening of the JHM TSLA/SCTY premium but with...

Already answered, but let me just give my $0.02 - take MP into consideration to try and understand stock price movements but don't trust it too much. When I first heard about Max-Pain I thought I'd found the secret formula for predicting stock prices. The first several times I used it to swing...

I thought the most immediate reason for TMP2 was to justify the merger, and I didn't hear much we didn't already know.. Every house a utility, but what about existing utilities, or large commercial? Powerpacks are far more useful and will have a much bigger impact in the short term than...

As one of the little fish here not allowed to lend out shares can I just ask nicely if you guys are using those juicy lending fees to buy more TSLA and SCTY? That would be the smartest thing I can think of to eventually burn the shorts and help all of us. Thanks.

Silicon isn't a fuel, it's a technology. The sun is forever, as far as we humans are concerned. As is nuclear waste.

Then what are Hanford, Yucca Mtn, Savanna River, etc built to store for thousands of years? Have you just found the next line item to remove from the budget?

Have there been any securitization announcements since Q1 CC? I haven't paid that close attention given my personal life is in shambles, but it seems like all quiet on that front for awhile.

Don't bother trying to explain anything to him. "Where will they get the $5 billion?" has been his shtick for years and he isn't going to change.

Actually she got in at $19 so she's going to be fine. I'll make my money back in either SCTY or TSLA eventually, I have absolutely no doubt. Being down in a stock doesn't mean you have to feel cheated or robbed or lied to, as long as you're playing the long game.

You're the Mark Spiegel of SCTY

Max pain is stuck at $22 this week and $22.50 next, then goes up to $25 the week after next with fairly heavy volume of contracts. I'm assuming this means the street thinks the deal will go through.

Understood. I knew it was a gamble but I was also confident that in the long term Solarcity would succeed, and I would be rewarded with a Model 3, though maybe not by launch. I could have gotten a much smaller, safer return going the conventional route of diversified portfolio and mutual...

Maybe WAY long term. The 52 week high for SCTY was roughly triple current sp and arguably a cash flow positive squeeze had some chance of pushing it up higher, but 52 week high for TSLA was only 50% higher than current. Put simply I would stand to make more money in the next couple of years...

I may have to cancel if the Tesla/Solarcity merger goes through. I'm down almost 50% in SCTY and was hoping for a short squeeze later this year or next year when they should be cash flow positive and the Riverbend factory comes online. Now I'll end up with less than 70 shares of TSLA whose 2...
