    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Everything else equal yes, but more from a local environment point of view than a global environment point of view. However, Tesla cars are not among the more sustainable cars, neither among the EVs or cars in general. However, it's also a question of which model of transport and urbanism that...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Lol excuse me? When have I ever talked about Norway being the gold standard? I'm saying that if you look at the developed world, it's a noticeably big potential for improvement in the US when it comes to mass transit and denser living. Tesla is an american car company. There have for many years...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Right, so neither car infrastructure nor mass transit infrastructure builds itself. It requires pooled investments from society. Investing in public transit in densely populated areas is the most sensible and profitable public investment you can make. But by many car promoters, it's referred to...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Sorry, but I always read a lot of comments about sustainability here and answered such a post that talked about the transtition to sustainable transport, but I'll keep any further discussion of this topic in the general discussion thread.

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I may have misrepresented you, but the general notion seems to be that Tesla cars are "green". As for solar cell panels, that's good, but not really related to buying Teslas or, for example, giving huge financial incentives to buyers of Teslas. There are many players in the solar industry. One...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    PT is sustainable because it's by far the most efficient transportation mode beyond walking and biking and they're all three made possible by dense living. The degree to which fossil fuels are burned in the process varies with the system and how much bus use there is, but it's nonetheless a...

    EU Market Situation and Outlook

    This is what I don't understand.. how often do "most people" take 900km trips? There's a trade off between expense and resource consumption-correlated battery size and flexibility of range. If we're going to have battery sizes that cover any trip, we're going to get a very inefficient resource...

    EU Market Situation and Outlook

    It sells well because it's a popular car.. I have heard that some people think it is.. ugly ( ? ) , which is mysterious. I'm sure the ladies love it, between ;) The streets of Frogner are lined up with i3 wifey cars. The i3 is sexy and fun. It uses materials and colour combinations in ways...

    EU Market Situation and Outlook

    And no one said otherwise. Though I don't think co-operation catches well how deep the alliance goes.

    EU Market Situation and Outlook

    Everyone who works in design loves the i3. It's smart and sexy in my opinion, especially the profile and from behind. I see it around every corner these days, but still makes me turn my head. As for only 7500, well it's the third best selling EV in Europe and it's a good chunk more expensive...

    EU Market Situation and Outlook

    ^^ A strange looking chart given all the ridicule of the competition on this site. Renault-Nissan is kicking ass. And the i3 is doing consistently well. It's a shame it's getting axed.

    ^^ They're in panic over being perceived as boring? Isn't it a *bit* late for that..

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    ^^ You're literally making it sound like a religion. "I know that God is real". You should always question the companies you invest in more than the companies you elect not to invest in, unless you don't care about your investments. I don't think anyone in this discussion has said that Tesla...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Whether the in transit numbers are light or not is something that needs to be judged in light of the numbers of delivered cars. That is what concerns the discussion before your post, which you presumably were responding to. No one in the market cares (at least not in a negative sense) about the...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Huh? It's in the quarterly report. They've fixed the issue (=resolved) and it lead to very good sales numbers for June (=absorbed). Whatever confusion is left should be cleared by deduction. I mean you even rely on this understanding in your own point, where you give a higher proportion of...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    1 - The 100kWh issue has been resolved and absorbed and shouldn't lead to a bigger gap between produced cars and delivered cars or cars in transit. It was a production issue in the first place so it would affect both columns. It's all about that gap. The "in transit" number per se may mean a lot...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    It's a "disappointment" because 1) it's a number significantly lower than in previous quarters (which looked at in isolation doesn't need to be negative - could be explained by quicker delivery process, however this would be reflected in overall delivery numbers) and 2) it gives the complete...
