Anyone else lose the real time motor power display in Ludicrous+? (Raven X)

Not a safety issue according to everything I've heard, but mine did get louder over time, so I'd hesitate to let it go indefinitely.

Service center added moly grease and replaced the rear axle nuts, no more click, for now at least. Went for a test drive after they fixed it to see if I could reproduce the clicks again - it's helpful to enable track mode for higher regen purposes which made the click during regen louder...

Based on somewhat similar issues people have had with Model S, the answer to this appears to be no - only covered by the 50k mile warranty because the Battery and Drive Unit Warranty is literally just those two items, nothing related.

Just scheduled service for my (stock) 64xxx P3D- w/37k miles, which has been doing this for ~8-10k miles now. Started out sounding like a faint relay click noise, but has since gotten much louder. Does anyone know if this is covered by the Drive Unit Warranty (120k miles), or the plain 50k...

IIRC from winter driving, it is. But that only happens when the pack is really cold. Like below freezing. One thing to note is from my experience, power used for HVAC when not in "Drive", is not counted. So if you sit parked with the heat (or A/C) on, that power is not accounted for in the...

What broker, if you don't mind my asking?

Yes. No. Kinda. The hardest part is being able to recognize what options flow is worth following, and what's not. I use it as part of my overall strategy, with other methods for developing a sort of mental "confidence score". Rarely do I trade against an existing, obvious trend for...

To be frank, it's probably not even on their radar. They've not only got bigger fish to fry, but I see this kind of thing happen literally every single day to all kinds of different stocks. The magnitude here raises an eyebrow, but it's by no means isolated to TSLA.

Worth noting that just before the Moody's downgrade, someone(s) bought an enormous amount of way-OTM April 250 puts starting a couple weeks before the event and continuing right up to the day before. (from my trading notes) (About 4000 contracts) Happened at this point on 3/14/18: (note red...

He posted a bunch more after that one. Any translations? ("Paint it Black" one is probably obvious, IMO.)

Same day I posted that. In hindsight, the mention of vehicle production seems like an embellishment that person may have added, but I could see semi assembly at GF1, assuming painted body parts would be painted at Fremont then perhaps shipped to GF1 on the return trip for the trucks that...

Tesla starts moving ground at Gigafactory 1 again Hmmm...

Yep, that's consistent with what I'm seeing. has continued throughout the day. Buyers are largely passive today. (green = bid, red = ask, gap between them = spread)

Not when you look at volume relative to previous days this week and last.

That's huge steel plant. Will be interesting to see how it plays out to tick all those boxes that made us think it was Tesla...

Major support going back to May.

Well, at least he's setting up for what'll probably be an easy beat of his expectations, both in Q4 and next year...

If semi deposits/reservations are =>$1B by end of 2017, I'll pretend to eat a sock, chewing and all. (Then I'll spit it out) If I'm wrong, my call options will be worth more than enough to make up for some sock chewing. :eek:

On this note, Hotbed of Misinformation

They don't, they're just taking the delta of the total position at open vs close, possibly adjusted for additional shorting/covering.

Ihor Dusaniwsky on Twitter Ihor Dusaniwsky‏ @ihors3 24 minutes ago $TSLA short interest increased to $8.8 billion. Almost 950k additional shares shorted in the third quarter. Stock borrow rate is 0.50% rebate. Shorts up $188 million in mark-to-market profits today on 2.1% price drop and $635...

I really don't understand the obsession with wireless charging, especially for the semi. Imagine a 90% efficiency wireless charger, charging a 300kWh pack in 1 hour (gotta be competitive with cable charging, since you're trying to save time/effort by not having to plug a cable in). The losses...

Care to explain the latter in context of the former? Given future prospects, I would be very surprised if we never break $400.

Alex Roy did a nice analysis of Bob Lutz's latest article. Is the Entire Car Industry Really Doomed?

I still can't seem to bring myself to hold a single shred of sympathy for them. None of this would've happened if the NSA wasn't stockpiling 0 day exploits for years upon years. The security community called them out on this after the Snowden leaks, and yet here we are years later with what's...

Uh oh, an analyst drove a Tesla Model 3 and he found a bunch of problems with it Someone hasn't been paying attention apparently. In other news, zdriver believes GM's Camaro might be hurting the company's Cadillac sales. "Cheaper and faster, I can't imagine why people would buy a...

Agreed, definitely worth a read. Alex's history of driving is significantly more impressive than that too. He held the ICE Cannonball record for many years until it was only recently broke by a different guy (whom in my opinion got very lucky with traffic, weather, and construction, much less...

Someone wanted more shares, and apparently wasn't satisfied until they gobbled up the liquidity at $305. That said, I have no clue how next week goes though.

People said the same back in 2013. Bitcoin specifically might drop to zero if there's a successful hard fork to a "Bitcoin 2" of sorts, but in such a situation, you'd end up with the same number of coins on the new chain as the old chain. (Assuming you control the private keys to your wallet...

Microsoft chasing fool cells. Microsoft Is Getting Hungry for Fuel Cells Errr... wat? *facepalm* Gee, if they were actually looking for energy storage (not a convoluted way to generate electricity from natural gas), I think I know a company that could provide those "hundreds of...

SpaceX > Tesla. Hate to say it, but it's true. The McGregor facility predates Model S, and might even predate the Roadster. (couldn't find any solid dates) Planning for Boca Chica started ~2012-2013, and lets be honest, there's not much in the way of other options when it comes to spaceports...

You claim to be a trader, then you dive into fundamentals again. Which is it? If you're a trader, you should be focusing on price action, don't let news have an effect on your emotions. To a trader, specifically one that trades pin action, it's totally irrelevant if or when in the remote...

I absolutely could see him passing up the best site when the state in question has been as scummy as Michigan... Have to take into account relative "best-ness" of a site. Some site in WI or another state isn't likely to be so much worse than Durand, MI that they'd consider sinking billions...

Good point. Monthly candle isn't looking great, but not nearly as awful as I was expecting. Not sure I'd call it a true doji, but it does show some level of bounce off the 200dma.

I'm wondering if Project TIM is Tesla, but since it would all hinge on Michigan allowing Tesla to sell and service cars in the state, if Michigan is dragging their feet, they could casually ask if WI wanted the plant instead. Michigan already lost out on the Foxconn plant to WI, so it could be...

Likely covering. Seen some shenanigans on accumulators today, but they're mostly all over the place, but trending up. Says short covering to me, given circumstances.

FTFY. Yes. :cool:

Detroit EconomicClub‏ @deteconomicclub 1h1 hour ago Ford: "Big bet being placed on electrifcation...the infrastructure needs to be built out." #econclub

Sounds like it isn't a cell production bottleneck, but pack assembly. As I understand, that's what Elon was at GF1 for when he was camping on the roof. If we take into account the tiny trickle of 3's lately, that makes more sense than cell production. Assuming that's the case, who knows...

Aging process is 2 weeks, but I don't see why Panasonic couldn't keep running production until all the aging racks are full...

We've got an old GM factory sitting collecting dust in Janesville, but somehow I doubt they'd be interested given its age (built in 1919) and other issues like... That said, they could probably get it for cheap, and there's a plenty large workforce available nearby. Edit: Buyer was found in...

Just sent an email to the editor -

Biggest issue with this is it ties up way too much capital. Capital that could be better utilized scaling up manufacturing, so they have an even larger impact overall.

There's likely *at least* a 2 week lag on actually seeing anything from this. Keep in mind we still have yet to see anything above 1000, and those were registered a *long* time ago.

Shameless plug for my long post in the general thread, I found some Panasonic production line estimate numbers from a guy who claims to have friends/family working for Panasonic. Appears to support the previous Panasonic battery line issues we've heard. 2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

Sooo, this post got really long and much more involved than I expected, but tl;dr, I think Panasonic is at least partially to blame here, and numbers from another guy I found appear to back up the first guy's claims. Yeah, definitely same guy. He's a special one alright. Comments most...

I believe so, but more importantly it's basically a doji that could end up an abandoned baby if nothing awful happens over the weekend (or GS downgrade of $5 on Monday) Bullish Abandoned Baby
