    Hidden Conduit

    I am getting 9.35kw Tesla solar panels installed on my new (2022) single story home in Las Vegas, NV. Inverter will be placed outside the house. Installation is pending HOA approvals now. I asked for quote on hidden conduit through the attic and Tesla came back with a price of $1,700. Is this...

    Pest abatement for Tesla solar panels in the Las Vegas area

    Birds and squirrels look much larger than they are due to their thick feather/fur. Pigeons can easily squeeze through surprisingly small openings. Although Tesla panels appear mounted almost flush, they are not. The edge pieces give that flush look, and hence visually appealing, but not...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Back here on TMC after a long hiatus. I remember our discussion on IPOA when we bought it years ago. Do you still hold it? my IPOA got converted into SPCE.U. I will continue to keep them.

    Why Tesla will be out of business in 10-20 years

    The real issue here is not @pend1971 or him/her being a short troll. The real big issue is the degeneration of TMC from Tesla enthusiast club to just another greedy clickbait web forum. I thought Stinking Alphalpha was bad, soon TMC would beat them at their game. Shame on you TMC website owners...

    Near-future quarterly financial projections

    What causes recession? Trump has canceled salary hikes for federal employees, so after inflation adjustments, those employees will be making less next year than this year. Russia has increased the retirement age to save on pensions. Are these canaries in the coal mine?

    Near-future quarterly financial projections

    @luvb2b , Great work! Thanks! Good to see that, even after downward updates, your model predicts both GAAP and non-GAAP profits, and QOQ increase in cash flow and net cash balance. What is the current street estimate on these metrics? Your model is showing a decent non-GAAP eps. Even if Tesla...

    Russ | CaringBridge To any current or past MU or INTC investors: Russ Fischer, one of my favorite authors on SA, passed away today. He helped a lot of investors make a lot of money during 2012-2015 timeframe on MU and INTC. He suffered stroke in late 2015 and was recuperating since then. RIP Russ.

    q1 2018 earnings estimates

    @luvb2b Thanks for the great explanation on different cash flow scenarios! I am more interested in positive cash from ops. It is highly likely that Tesla achieves it in this quarter.

    Tesla Semi

    4 Hours apart? What world do you live in? Higher range Tesla is rated 500 miles; at average speeds of 60 miles/hour it takes over 8 hours between charges. Are you expecting Semi trucks race like sports cars at 120 miles/hour on freeway?
  19. T

    Tesla Semi

    For truckers, the #1 concern is cost. They will overlook the perceived inconvenience of not seeing a mega-charger every few miles if it means saving costs. Tesla wins here on cost of operation.

    About buyback: High growth companies do not do buyback, they invest every dollar they have towards growth. Dividends and stock buybacks are clear signs that the Management does not expect major growth ahead.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    TSLA hit two ATHs around $380 within the last 6 months. From what little I know about TA, I think the recent trip down form the second ATH was interpreted by traders/algos as double-top. There is no triple top. If we go to $380 this time, it will likely zoom past it and reach new ATH...

    Ramp as in M3 production? or stock price? If it is the stock price, do you see any indicators in the charts that indicate imminent stock price surge within the next 6 weeks? I am trying to reconcile what you see with @luvb2b 's observation about record levels of option open interest.

    That list is ranked on dollar value shorted. For others in the list like Apple, the short interest is a very small fraction of the market value. A lot of these short positions, especially in Apple, are likely hedge positions.

    Some views on current price action

    Given the lackluster ER we had, we are at low 300s as you predicted. Have we seen the bottom yet? Or, do we need atleast one more week to get clear indication of trends on charts? Some catalysts in the next two weeks: 1) Semi reveal 2) 13Fs, of institutional ownership, due by 15th

    Thanks. I am worried about the repeat of the nightmarish scenario of Mobileye demanding ownership of all the data collected through cameras. Tesla had to break relationship with them and it wasn't easy for Tesla to transition away from Mobileye solution. Only now AP 2.0/2.5 is reaching...

    Neural Networks

    CUDA might yield the best performance, but if OpenCL with AMD GPU yields performance that exceeds Tesla's needs, they would always be open to that option. My point is about the balance of power between supplier (nVidia, AMD, Intel?) and customers (Tesla, FB, Google) just so that CUDA doesn't...

    Neural Networks

    Apologies if it has been already discussed before. Is Tesla using CUDA platform/API to interface with the nVidia GPU processors for the Autopilot? As an investor, I find this a very crucial piece of info because the use of CUDA means Tesla is married to nVidia hardware with little or no...

Republicans will stall that bill for quite a while, as many conservative groups are against parts...
