yeah, the problem is that I often need to make day trips of 600 / 700 miles for work. With a X75D I think it would be very painful to make that number of miles in one day without a supercharger network. The X100D would be much more reasonable (although without the supercharger network it would...

Today I just went to a Tesla store to see and try (again) the Model X and Model 3. I'm 95% set to go with the Model 3 AWD for the next 3 years. I do think Model X is the better car...the extra seats and space is unbeatable, also the FWD and the front windshield are not comparable with any...

Thank you for all your opinions. I think the best option is indeed to go now with the Model 3 for a pair of years and then trade in for a Model X. I did a 2 days test drive on a Model X (after a S) and I was sold. The X is an incredible car. My experience with the Model 3 was only from seeing...

yeah, I agree. There will always be some new technology that will be part of some "refresh" later on. But I think we are really at the end of a cycle here with current Model S and X. Remember that most of the tech in these cars are from original 2012 Model S. There had been improvements off...

Model Y should be available only by 2020 / 2021. Probably later here in Europe...so, it's not a real option for me now.

Hi, I'm currently considering between buying a Model 3 or a Model X. I know they're different vehicles (with different costs) and I know the "right" decision would be to have the two. Unfortunately, that is not a option for me and I'm torn between the two for different reasons. Model X with a...

Not waiting, I just rejected their offer. I found an 8-K from PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP regarding this company similar activities: Document

It seems like one of those things...but no..my broker said it's real I googled it and it seems that this "Baker Mills LLC" do these Mini-Tender offers to other companies too...

Hi, I just received an e-mail from my broker stating: Does anyone received a similar e-mail or know what's happening ??? This is just crazy... Of course I will say NO o_O

Although I agree with you that this is not a good time to buy, going short may make some sense after a retrace if we had a higher volume down before. But, it really depends on the timeframe one's trading. For instance, on the intraday level, one could use the current retrace to open a short...

I agree on the sell pressure without price going lower to be a good sign upwards. But, it depends on the timeframe also. I think that is not what we have here (IMO). High (and increasing) volume in the direction of the trend is a strong indicator of the continuation of the trend until (at...

Daily volume is very high, this is a huuuuge red flag for $TSLA... Do not buy here, we are very far from a bottom We will have more lower lows, a retrace and another shot down in the coming days at least

<In my Opinion Mode> Based on price action, I believe $tsla will go down a little bit more before going upwards. My bet is it will make a minimum on the 340-350 before resume the uptrend. In my analysis, this is a retrace of the previous up movement after the earnings that will resume. </IMO mode>

SAUDI FUND IS SAID TO MULL RAISING ITS ABOUT 5% TESLA STAKE

No. Actually we are seeing lots of accumulation in TSLA price action. Smart buying is just that, slow and precise buying at levels giving the sense that selling is the dominant trend and at the same time not giving too much buying pressure. They would sell some to maintain the price contained...

20% of ~200 Million outstanding shares are approximately 40 Million shares @ $350 = ~$14 Billion Much cheaper...BUT, I don't think they will do that without Elon's approval. Now, of course, they can go up until 10% or 15%...and that would be a MUCH more reasonable position for the Saudis to...

I believe that a short squeeze is more and more improbable. This is a completely different situation than VW-Porsche. In this situation, there are a lot of shares in the market and probably a few current investors will have to sell as soon as some more details on the organisation are known...

There’s one thing that I don’t understand very well if Elon really *did* most of the arrangements prior of the buyout announcement. Is the fact that, as far as we know and some of them already mentioned, he didn’t previously got the agreement of other large shareholders (at least T. Rowe...

Seems is not the Saudis... Exclusive: Saudi Arabia's PIF has shown no interest in bankrolling Tesla buyout https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1KW0FA

Only one question that may invalidate your theory: On the shareholder voting, doesn't the shareholders need to have their stock in their possession to be able to vote? If yes, then they need to request most of the 34M shares shorted. THAT might trigger the squeeze. Because shorts need to buy...

Check these images: Here they mention the 20" Performance Wheels and the "Performance brake calipers"...but this is irrelevant without knowing 1) if the rest of the car is modified to better use this equipment as well and 2) if this equipment is calibrated for the Model 3 Performance...

The most important question for me with the "Performance Upgrade" is to know if the car will have better handling with this pack installed or will be just an aesthetic thing... I mean, will the Model 3 suspension be tweaked for the 20" rims use? Are the "red calipers" calibrated for the brake...

Today a base Model S 100D makes 4.1 sec 0-60 and costs $97.5K. A P100D with 2.5 sec costs $140K What do you think will happen if a Model 3 Performance with a similar range (~300 miles range) and a 3.0 sec costs only ~$80k ? Demand for the Model S 100D would be hit hard. Only a few people that...

Should also add that I don't see Tesla offering a 3.0 sec Performance Model 3. It would be too similar to the current P100D for less than half the cost. I think a value of ~3.8 sec would be good enough without entering too much into Model S territory (2.5 - 4.1 sec).

Thank you. So a 273kW combined dual motor power should be the bare minimum for the Performance version of Model 3. From my calculations the 75kWh battery pack is able to output 1150 A at only 5C of discharge (better than the Model S) for the mentioned 402.96 kW of power. If the inverter has...

insaneoctane, A challenge for you if I may : Taking in account (for instance) that the Model 3 LR - 75kWh battery pack can output ~403 kW of power (and the inverter also supports it), what torque/power do you think the motor should have to give a less than 4 sec 0-60 mph ? ;)

Yes, but previously there was a different statement for Regular models (which did not include the rollout). Now, there is only this statement for all models. Also, it makes sense for Tesla to have only one measure procedure.

Until the last Model S/X performance refresh, yes. Tesla measured Perfomance models with the one foot rollout and the rest without. But after this refresh Tesla started to use only one type of measure, the one followed by Motor Trend's which remove the first foot rollout. This is also one...

I think the problem is the wrong value for mass you're using: 1928 Kg instead of 1740 Kg. Check the EPA document for Model 3 curb weight : 3837 lbs. Reseting your multiplier and using the correct mass results in a 5.26 sec to 60MPH. If you also take in account that all Tesla measures uses an...

No. I'm not a EW trader nor I believe it works. Although it may have some bits in the right place. Most indicators are not useful too. One reason is because they lag, sometimes by a lot. Lag is good for confirmation but it's awful for trading. In trading you want to get in as soon as a trend...

Sure. If you win more money than you loose, it works and that's ok. Any strategy that makes one to make money, is fine. But that is not the regular case. The common case for most investors is, in the long run, a loosing game. All I'm saying is for people to try to understand the "game"...

In Stock Market the main objective is not to "understand the people's behaviour"...it's to make money. You need to understand this: The market is always right..always and every time, no exceptions. If the market is doing something you don't understand or you don't have an explanation to it...

There are many here that don't understand the Stock Market and how the market acts. There's no need to talk about "manipulation" or "voodoo" or any other reason. In a stock like TSLA that doesn't happen. Period. The market acts on its own disregarding most of the outside things . The stock...

This is exactly what I think about the "new features" of M3 too. I believe we should see - some time soon, an update of the Model S and X with the tech that is supposed to be in M3 too. This is the best case for 1) continuing to improve sales of Model X and S, 2) Testing Model 3 tech as soon...

Exactly. This actually is the only move for Tesla. If a March Model 3 reveal happens it will 1) significantly impact Model S and X sales (probably for the rest of the 2017) and 2) increase the Model 3 orders line even longer. The reveal MUST be at the latest of the latest moment, the close to...

For anyone interested in Autopilot 2.0 I invite you to check this article from NVIDIA and watch the video: End-to-End Deep Learning for Self-Driving Cars The article addresses some technical aspects of AI and neural networks but overall the main ideas are understandable to anyone. It's a...

One more interesting information on Tesla batteries: Tesla’s battery research partner shows potential new path for longer EV range and durability This seems almost irrelevant but it's actually a very important thing. High-voltage batteries increases the total capacity with very little changes...

Regarding Autopilot 2.0 I think the comments from Jen-Hsun Huang on 16Q2 Results Earnings Call can be very informative as I believe the next processor for AP2.0 will be from NVIDIA. It is known that the relation between Nvidia and Tesla have been of many years and also Elon and Jen-Hsun are...

I agree with almost everything in this article. My two comments: 1. "Air Cooling" and "Heat" - With new 20700 batteries from Tesla/Panasonic for M3 one should be aware that an improved chemistry will for sure be used. And there's a great probability that these new batteries will have a higher...
