Me too

So far, every analysis assumes EM pays Income Tax in Cali. It seems to me that's primary residence is now in Texas with a significantly lower rate. Can someone knowledgeable comment on that. THX

I'm in New Orleans and will drive back to Atlanta tomorrow. This SC would be a huge help. I could avoid Greenville and Auburn, two of my least favorite SC's. I checked in my car this morning and Montgomery was shown with 12 stations, 1 in use and 11 available. Before I take a chance and skip...

I'm financially comfortable and in my seventies. TESLA has helped a lot, but we would still be OK with out it. It's less than 25% of my portfolio, and I sleep well. My recommendation for obtaining wealth has always been to live well below your means, and to invest the reminder. Whenever I...

Wasn't that low interest.

We're talking about solar at Superchargers. Limited space and need for significant storage is a challenge at most SC locations. What no one is talking about, and what I cannot understand, is why there are not solar panels covering the Gigafactories. There is also plenty of land for storage...

My 2016 MS 90D gives an EPA range of about 265 miles at 100%, down from 285 when new, 5+ years ago. I can comfortably go 220 miles at 80 MPH from a full charge and still arrive with 10% charge left. Always get a little less than displayed range, but not significantly. I don't understand why...

Dit anyone else notice how many casting were spread around the site? There are stacks near the press and more in an adjoining lot. Also look at 2:30+ and it looks like a lot more stacked along the fence by the rail lines. Why would they produce hundreds/thousands(?) more than they need in...

I had the same car but bought it new. Loved it. Same paint issue. Broke down and had it repainted, but with a clear coat and it lasted well.

I always thought the biggest benefit from radar was the ability to measure relative speed at a distance, say 50-300 yards. If you don't think radar is better at that task, just ask the officer next time you get pulled over for speeding, I know my binocular vision is challenged estimating...

Me too. Seven days too old to be able Boomer.

Are S&P funds allowed to loan shares to shorts? If so, doesn't that add some shares back into the float and reduce the impact of the demand from inclusion. Not a finance person, just a dumb engineer.

I like to track delivery ships. Does anyone know the name of the ship from Shanghai leaving for Europe?

Is anyone else concerned about the number of finished vehicles parked all over the site?

Right up there with Hillary v Trump. The primary system is the root of all evil.

The nerd in me want the phrase to be: "Pulling on All Poles" An electric motor has multiple poles which are pulled by magnetic forces. Accurate phrase, but not familiar enough to catch on with the general public.

My understanding was that the cap gain holiday was only for stock bought during the "holiday". Gains would not be taxed when they are sold in the future. Existing shares owned would be taxed as now.

230v outlets should be rated for at least 30A with a 40A breaker (old dryer connections). Newer ones with a NEMA 14-50 outlet should have a 50A breaker and be able to charge at 40A. Full charge time should not be more than 8-10 hours max.

Another ship at Pier 80. Do you think this will be the last for this quarter?

Wow! Finally some movement. I was getting tired of looking at parked heavy equipment. Do we know whether they will be allowed to use pile foundations? At one point someone said that piles were not allowed because of the water table/supply, but it looks like thy're doing a static pile test.

Another ship at pier 80.

Tunneling in bedrock is preferable. The tunnel is self-supporting, less ground water issues, less need for lining with concrete, etc.

It was an Atlanta Costco that I was in.

Is there a chance of spreading the virus at Fremont? Of course there is. But I think that the procedures keep that possibility low. I went to the grocery today. Some people without masks. Some with masks on, but not covering their noses. Social distancing a joke. I would feel 100x safer in...

I can't help thinking about the post from the new contributor that had gone into futures for the first time and was looking at a margin call on Monday. I hoping that the run-up yesterday removed the call and that he was able the de-leverage his position. Does anyone know what happened?

What do they say about the weather forecast for Seattle. If you can see Mount Rainer, it's going to rain. If you can't see Mount Rainer, it is raining.

I guess that's why my order on Amazon got canceled this morning.

Hell, I'd just like to be able to cross central US east-west using I-40. Easy fix with a single SC near Ft. Smith Arkansas.

Knowing how motors work, I still like "Pulling on All Poles".

It will only grow old after the P&D numbers in about a week. It's helpful that everyone on this forum has not been putting out overly optimistic numbers to create a large "miss". Thanks to you all (almost all) for your restraint.

I thought the new loan included paying off the older loan. If I'm doing my math correctly, they will only owe the $1.5B, and have an additional $1.0B to work with.

Let's not forget the California water project which brought water for the northern reservoirs and the dams in the Sierra to southern Cali and the central valley. Whatever you might think about that, Cali and the rest of the US would be completely different without that project. A huge...

The shorties should head for the bar for a "more gin call"!

Pickups were exempted because then speaker of the house, Tom Murphy, lived in west Georgia and daily drove a PU to the capital in Atlanta. He hated seat-belts for a bunch of reasons, but the major one was he did not want the government, state or federal, telling him what to do. He was...

I guess I didn't read anything in that statement that would indicate using rail to supply the east coast. Rail was discussed on this forum in the past and the consensus was that it was too slow and unreliable. That was maybe in the context of shipping to the east coast to load ships and avoid...

I know we didn't expect any coverage, but did anyone see any major news outlets reporting on the deliveries starting from GF3?

@PBRStreetGang7 From the Tweet: "North America: Thousands of cars are leaving the intermodal facility in Birmingham, Alabama, for destinations on the east coast of the United States. $TSLA" I didn't know about the intermodal in Birmingham. Can anyone provide more information about that...

I got one too.

Yes, I got zapped even though I thought I had beat the deadline.

The ship, Lake Geneva, left for China early yesterday. Short turnaround. A new ship, RCC Europe, arrived this morning just after midnight. Pier 80 is not vacant for very long.

How would anyone know? But, I think battery packs would be shipped in containers, not on a RORO ship, which is what is going from Pier 80.

Another ship departing for China this morning.

Ship left for China yesterday and a new one at Pier 80 already.

And if I heard correctly, no wheel wells intruding into the bed. That a big deal for hauling plywood, sheetrock, etc.

Look at the mass exodus of the workers starting about 8:30 in the video. What do you think that is? Fire drill?

I keep seeing discussions of military/combat uses for the CT. I can't figure how one would "refuel" an electric vehicle in combat. One can't just roll a Supercharger to the front lines. How might that work?

Wow. I thought that there wasn’t anything that was not KarenRei’s field.

Speaking of fires, my wife and I stopped at a local Dollar General to pick up some birthday cards a couple of hours ago. Going in I noticed that the ice storage chest had burned. I asked a store employee how an ice machine could catch fire. He said it didn't, but that a truck parked there...

I guess Ford was telling the truth when they said that Tesla couldn't use "Model E" because they had a copyright and had plans to use the "E" designation.

If Ford is serious, and let's assume that they are, it would be easy to require each dealership to add a fast charging station. Hell, there's a Ford dealership in almost every town.
