1. These are 2 completely different and unrelated businesses. Yes, the solar part is common ...but one is Panels on a rooftop and the other is Batteries ! The home and the car are 2 different animals, Not everybody owns both. In the US or globally. OH, and yeah TSLA is global, SCTY is NOT...

IF, as now probable, Tesla Model 3 garners 400-500 K preorders by this fall, with $ 1000 deposit, per car, I am quite sure many large global banks and even funds will be lining up to offer $1 Billion - $ 2 Billion of non-convertible debt, under VERY favorable terms !!! So, no equity raise will...

IF Tesla ends up with 300-500 K preorders for Model 3, prior to the Chevy Bolt sales launch, the Bolt is doomed to being a marginal, bit player! The Bolt team needs to ask some important questions: 1. Why is this happening : Passion, Excitement for Tesla and its designs ! Not much for Chevy...

I am definitely not a fan of Seeking Alpha. IMO, too many who write for them have ulterior motives and may be paid by short hedge funds. But this one seemed different, and since I am NOT knowledgeable in this area, I thought maybe some here on this board may be able to chime in on what this...

Mods...I tried to delete. Please delete this thread ! Thanks !

As we all know, there are many many Tesla Model S owners who bought TSLA stock very early on, and made a lot of money. Many of them were also fans of Tesla technology and Elon Musk, personally. A lot of them took a small portion of their Tesla stock price gains and bought a Model S ( basically...

Looks like the ad agency for the poiice union thought his photo was great for their campaign of a brand makeover for the police in Campo Grande ! There's apparently many of them plastered all over Campo Grande! Who knows ? Maybe coming soon to a police force near you in CA! Now you know why...

I was thinking that maybe we can pool our backgrounds to take a stab at potential margins for the Model 3. So, I think it's best to take a stab at margins when Model 3 is producing at a 100 k annual run rate ( say in 2019), and Model X + Model S, in that year, is at least another $100 k run...

First off.....my apologies, because I don't where to post this question. I don't know if it it's been asked and answered before either....I did look up the first 3-4 pages of threads on charging and could not find any hints ! So, with that said, here's my question, please : 1. Re home...

.1. Assuming TSLA exec team knew about this for at least a couple of months, and had some feel for the design of the Bolt via pics shown of Bolt Mules, it gives TSLA a meaningful advantage. - the Bolt car concept design and many specs have been unveiled. I assume GM Bolt team did not have a...

Thought it would be worthwhile to explore progress and get opinions, in the battery efficiency and cost space, to project how long it will take Tesla to produce a 400 Mile Range EV..maybe with a Model 3 , which I expect will be the best candidate to get there fastest. If Elon thinks a 500 mile...

As someone who admires Elon Musk hugely, and would actually take a real bullet for him, I was quite disappointed by his some of his latest comments about Apple. 1. Why say bad stuff about your former employees? How will current employees feel about that ? I cannot believe that this is wise...

1. News is tricking out that real world tests of emissions vs. lab tests of Volkswagen diesel cars sold in Europe have ALSO been a mystery to many researchers in Europe. It is reported that about half of all car sales in Europe is diesel ! 2. Have other car manufacturers used other similar or...

So, I love Elon and Tesla. Just like I loved Steve Jobs....I want to buy an X. However, I am not sure what I would do if I needed to travel from Austin or Dallas to some of the smaller ( non top 5) city in Texas. And, in the same vein, I was wondering what folks under 30 , or even 35, who were...
