Good point. The P85 was in front, with the Model 3 two cars behind in the car pool lane. However, I don't think there was any significant difference in the distance between the car in front of the Model 3 and the car in front of the P85. It was just routine (busy) highway driving.

There was some stop and go on the 405, but I guess that the average speed was ~55-60mph. Note that stop and go traffic is a detriment to energy usage, so if this was a major factor the energy usage on my P85 would be much higher than 299Wh/mile. To me, the critical issue is the massive...

There was some stop and go on the highway, but usually if this is a major factor the energy usage on my P85 would be much higher than 299Wh/mile.

That is interesting. A more efficient motor would help explain the significant improvement. The question is, how much better will the range will be with dual motor in Model 3?

Just picked up our Model 3 (Vin 22XX) at MDR today (I love it) and compared the energy usage on the way back home (~50 mile trip on the 405). WOW, what a difference in energy usage. The model 3 used 220Wh/mile while my 2013 P85 used 299Wh/mile. Both are rear wheel drive only. The Model 3 had...

Trading in Chinese markets halted for rest of day after going down ~6%. Could be brutal tomorrow, with TSLA along for the ride.

NASDAQ futures tanking on poor data out of China. This will mute anY positive response to TSLA deliveries and enhance any negative response.

I think this is why we are up today: "China EV Sales Up Nearly 300%, May Lift Tesla, Kandi In the first 10 months of this year, sales of electric vehicles in China jumped 290% to 171,145, and the country could overtake the U.S. as the world's top EV market, potentially good news for Tesla...

"President of Audi of America Scott Keogh said the company expects at least 25 percent of its sales in North America to be electric vehicles by 2025.....Audi is also developing a nationwide charging network that would provide an 80 percent charge to the SUV model in only 30 minutes, allowing the...

So if you believe there is such a demand problem, why did you say in an earlier post that you plan to buy more TSLA on Monday with the market panic? I don't understand the logic.

I think TSLA held up relatively well today compared to other growth stocks: TSLA down 2.7% MBLY down 3.27% NFLX down 4.84% AMZN down 3.49% FB down 3.77%

This must be why SCTY was up 3% while TSLA, AMZN, AAPL, NFLX were down 3-4% on macro issues today.

I would add that this is a very bullish piece of data for Tesla meeting 2016 guidance. They have only sold 951 cars in Denmark through October, but they expect up to an additional 2,500 sales for the remainder of the quarter. WOW:love:

From the story: "Initially, the car manufacturer denied the story. Later, Tesla confirmed to Forbes that they had “ordered number plates for 2,500 cars” but stressed that was not the equivalent of buying and registering cars.” A spokesperson for Tesla explained, “We’ve been selling a lot of...

Is this story part of the reason why TSLA tanked going in to the close. Appears to be completely false, so if it contributed we should correct upwards tomorrow (assuming macro does not tank again). Really, the Danish Tax Minister should apologize for making such unfounded allegations. Is Tesla...

You are comparing apples and oranges. The base Model S is $70K, a fully loaded Model S is $144.5K. The latter is over twice the price of the base model. A base Model 3 will be $35K; a fully loaded Model 3 will likely be twice this price, or ~$60-70K. You can get a base Model 3 for $35K, but...

There is one significant advantage that Tesla has over UBER that does not require autonomous driving: fueling cost. At 1/4 the fueling cost to an ICE (and even less with solar), Tesla would easily be able to undercut UBERs pricing. That is why the CEO of UBER previously said he would buy as many...

What incentive is that, the federal rebate?

Why is the stock tanking; is it the 2016 Guidance of 1250?

Were you referring to this news below that LG and Tesla may be close to a deal? BTW, I love how LG stock is skyrocketing 50% because of the perception of increased EV needs from fallout of the Volkswagen scandal, but the stock of leading producer of EV's (TSLA) is battered. Koreas LG Chem To...

Not sure about that, the only quote from Bonnie I could find regarding her Model X today was that she still did not have a delivery data, but is 'expecting' a mid-novemebr delivery. See post 66 in Signature delivery now mid/late January - Page 7

I have that as well (res # ~9500).

Well with evidence that the first batch of Sig X's will be delivered around mid-November, I may be a buyer tomorrow.

If this is confirmed by Bonnie or others, I may just have to go in big on the stock tomorrow. I think this will drive the stock back up at least short term.

I also just noticed these bubbles today on my March '13 P85 (and then found this thread). Crazy stuff indeed. I needed to get my tires rotated and have a few other issues looked at, so this can be done altogether.

I am not sure that it is that simple. The cars arrive without battery or drive-train installed; these are installed in Tilburg, followed by final assembly and testing. This must save some time at Fremont and thereby boost weekly production rate in Fremont. Moreover, the key metric is...

The Street thinks we may have bottomed. I sure hope so. "Tuesday morning, Tesla fell below this important zone before quickly rebounding. The stock is stabilizing just above the $220 area. For Tesla bulls, this is a positive development. The stock is now up more than 2.5% and may be in the...

:confused: I thought the founders were Vin 1 through 6:confused:

More click bait: "Why Tesla Stock is Finally Dying". The punchline of the piece is that the existing car companies are just about to swamp Tesla with their mass manufacturing of BEV's and Tesla will remain a bit player. What a bunch of BS. It ignores the lack of battery capacity with the other...

Funny story. Hopefully Tesla will be featured on Jay Leno's new show (Jay Leno's Garage on CNBC), premiering tomorrow. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/10/01/jay-leno-on-whether-that-tesla-is-worth-120k.html

Plus given the fact that Elon tweeted that a couple of suppliers for the Model X will determine the speed of the Model X ramp, either these suppliers come through or Model S demand will need to be robust enough to meet ~15-16K deliveries in the quarter. Possible but far from a given.

With all other recent Tesla events (at least those that I can remember), buy the rumor and sell the news worked very well. However, given the major macro event, this is muting the buy the rumor effect. My plan was to sell my J16's tomorrow just before the reveal but now I am not so sure. How is...

Thanks for the input. In JB Straubel's blog about Dual Motor he states that "The shaft horsepower rating of the rear wheel drive single motor Model S is straightforward and roughly 360-470 hp depending on the variant (60, 85 or P85). Also, it is generally similar, but not the same, as the...

I apologize if this topic has been addressed previously, but I would really like to know why Tesla is not offering the Ludicrous upgrade to P85 owners. It is either not technically possible or Tesla has chosen to not include the original P85 owners. While I am far from knowledgeable in this...

But folding second row seats was the idea from the beginning and shown at the reveal in 2012. It was still the plan as late as June 16, 2014, where in an email to Model X reservation holders Tesla stated "You’ll also be able to fold down the second and third rows to create a flat platform for...

"The 6-liter twin-turbocharged 12-cylinder engine churns out 600 horsepower, good for zero to 60 miles per hour in 4 seconds flat, according to the automaker." Someone needs to tell Bentley that about the Model X with ludicrous at 3.2s 0-60. :tongue...

Looks like a well backed China based start-up company is going to try and challenge Tesla. It includes former Tesla employees. I say good, but may be a short term negative on the stock. "The sportscar is expected to debut in 2016. It will be designed to produce more than 1,000 horsepower and...

Likely down today despite NASDAQ up because shorting the stock is allowed again today; rule 48 was tripped on Monday and blocked further TSLA shorting until today. If the NASDAQ falls off a cliff at the end of the day today like yesterday, it will take TSLA further down with a high beta (my...

IV for the weekly $200 strike puts is ~100!!! Wow. One usually only sees such high IV just before an ER. Even more strange is that the IV increases with lower strikes and decreases with higher strikes. People really need to pay a very high premium for protection. I think I will try and sell...

Interesting! What was the the "investor information" that was posted? Do you have a link?

Well, the Chinese govt needs to act immediately with an interest and/or reserve requirement ratio cut. Needs to happen before Shanghai closes or we are in for a world of hurt.

I thought you said if we break $244, we go down to $220 not that we will have resistance.

Yup. What happened is clear as day. I just wish we had figured this out Friday (or earlier) instead of over the weekend, so I could have bought some calls/sell some puts. Updated: The question now is where do we do from here? When will the option be exercised and thereby remove the incentive...
