That news is about a week old, Germany has started exporting equipment again.

Clearing unexploded ordinance is really a standard thing you do in Europe. It is an expense, but it has to be done and their are a lot of companies that can do this routinely. Clearing unexploded orinance in a forest somewhere in the countryside is a totally different thing from clearing...

Don Searching for unexploded ordinance is standard procedure for any large project in Europe, nothing special about it. They can do the investigations right after clearing the forest. It´s not just aerial bombs by the way, any area with ground combat in WW2 may have UEX.

Fearfully I enter the thread of the mighty Papafox with a small comment: It is not necessary for the SP to rise above the mid BB to cause the mid BB to rise (and the upper and lower BBs with it, given constant volatility). What is important is what kind of prices drop out of the period of...

I am referring to the "linear structure". The field between the current factory and the "pumping station" with the Ground Treatment / pile driving clearly is for a structure similar to the almost finished factory.

Might be nothing more spectacular than a drainage channel for all the surface/rain water collecting on the site and the building at the end of the site might be a pumping station to pump the water out into any public drainage System they have. Might make sense to run such a collector for the...

I am very careful engaging one of the big posters here but have to point out: * Autonomy allows 10 M cars to replace 100 M doing the same amount of miles as 100 M (or rather a bit more to drive from pick-up point to pick up point).and using the same amount of fuel (whether electricity or...

One also wants to have these stairways outside the building as emergency exits in case of fire (and firefighter access, too). Probably required by building regulations, including the spacing of such exit structures.

Both the foundations and the increased height of the building in this area fits with this theory. The building may even be a bit higher above the presses - note how the area is currently unroofed and steel columns are heavier.

I saw the SR range model S on the Austrian Tesla web-page yesterday since I have been checking every day for the price increase. Price increase happened today and SR model S went away.

No EU Country can probably match that. Speed of permit is the problem. A factory that size requires an Environmental Impact Assessment, which can take a year.

Ehm - S and X lines are already combined in Fremont. At least they were when I did my factory tour last August.

Hey, some short got his signs wrong and caused a mandatory morning take-off instead of a mandatory morning dip!

Re Glovis Captain: They are doing model S roll-on roll-off without assembly at Tilburg? Interesting. Tilburg assembly is done to avoid EU import tariffs.

As a civil engineer - who admittedly has only looked at the few available fotos and videos - my impression is that they are doing massive ground treatment (gravel piles, maybe a bit of grouting) plus probably drainage works and that´s why the site is muddy. They cannot put up any structures...

Expect major drop in share price right now, I just bought 50 share. ;)

The "cranes" are probably rigs doing ground improvement for the foundations.

May I dare to correct the mighty: Last line is best translated as: "Even if it was a beautiful, beautiful time".

I would hold my breath about some of those guys, especially those with Girl avatars. And TerminalHorizon is as relentless as ever. That guy will still be short at $1000.

Re. Austrian pricing: Since this is below the 80.000,- € "luxury" limit you can reclaim 6.667,- € VAT tax if the Model 3 is a company car. Makes it highly interesting.

20% VAT versus 19% VAT. probably

Also announced for Austria: LR 58.300,- € Performance 69.100,- €

The last sentence may be a bit optimistic. The tax situation has been similar to the German regulation in Austria for the last three years ("Sachbezug"), and we have definitely not seen a 90% shift to EVs as corporate cars. I have a nice Excel, though, that shows that if I hold my 110.000,- €...

New EVs are mainly competition to existing ICEs. The EV market will expand with additional competitive vehicles arriving. Additional EVs will also helpt expand the charging networks and other infrastructure (although this is not a Tesla problem, Teslas are well supplied with Super- and...

Thanks! And 1,500 shares is actually quite heavy trading for FRA at this hour.

As far as I can see that is still Stuttgart, where volume just spiked from 38 (thirty-eight) to 48 (fourty-eight) shares. But yes, it is above 262 € there.

Maybe I should sell all my shares as an act of solidarity with you guys here - it will immediately reverse and shoot up to 420...

This is the first time I see pre-market prices changing at almost the same rate as while market is open.

That´s actually a fairly big volume for Frankfurt pre-market. Edit: I think we are seeing Stuttgart here, which opens at 8:00 AM.

Re: Bloomberg tracker: Bloomberg argue, that their recent reduction in production estimates is due to the way they treat "gaps" in reported VINs. This is nicely explained in an article on the right side of the webpage. Interestingly, troy´s spreadsheet in the model 3 forum does not show those...

Austria´s Automobile Club ÖAMTC has tested a Model 3 over here in Europe and are quite enthusiastic about it (especially notable since they are usually quite critical of anything electrical): Tesla Model 3: Spannung pur beim ersten Test | ÖAMTC auto touring Somewhat freely translated: "Both...

According to Papafox´s manual we not get the 9:45 false recovery.

Every share sold must be bought by somebody. Many people unloading means many people loading.

When I got into my Tesla this morning it was on the left side. And I drive in Austria.

Frankfurt volume about 2,500 shares so far, so not very relevant.

What happens if shorts cannot cover and just go bankrupt?

May I add my own bit of speculation (and pure speculation it has to be): There are 4 Model 3 lines: GA1 and GA 2 are inside the Fremont factory and did not perform as well as intended, probably limited at 1.5 k per week each GA3 is inside the Fremont factory and is performing as intended, but...

I am not at all sure about insider rules but my guess is, that if something happens that he has already announced, it would not be insider trading. - 5k per week - announced multiple times, so no insider knowledge if it actually happens - China factory - more or less announced, no insider...

At some point, the VIN assignments should turn into production and then sales, at which point the should affect the share price.

I was wondering about the low invitation numbers, too. Can it really be attributed to a change in VIN assignment policy or an intentional holding back of VINs?

Ehm, if I have not overlooked something, Tesla is not on that list at all …. Seems to be 2014 data - to few Teslas at the time?

Probably the code shows up on the navigation system, like some access codes for lounges at superchargers.

8255 must be one of the most reported VINs.

For what it is worth: I moved from a Mercedes C class to a Tesla Model S. Or from 42,000 € to 110,000 €. Would have bought a fully optioned Model 3, though, had it been available in 2016.

63 for Austra is the December number. Q4/17 is 171 up from Q4/16 - 137 up 30%

So - November 2017 may be what was planned for September 2017 - 1.500 Model 3 produced and we are 2 months behind?

Austria is always out with the preliminary delivery numbers on the first working day of a month and it is 90 Teslas for September 2017, compared to 124 in September 2016 and 54 in August 2017. For what it is worth....

So close now to ATH!

Not really a tech stock but a nice complementary investment to TSLA: SQM, Sociedad Quimica e Minera de Chile, Lithium miners.

Well, I am in the same order of magnitude ...
