OT, but still apt:

Thanks. $1.38 billion in 2021 convertible notes mature in 16 months that will probably need to be refinanced. I had expected sizeable governmental incentives/subsidies because of the stimulus to the local economy, similar to GFs 1-3. Maybe bring back Diarmuid as a barnacle to negotiate the...

Where does the $4.4 billion come from?

Is that a misprint? For first 10 months of 2018, 5,631 models S & X registered versus 424 for the same period in 2019?

How does that compare with the size of the respective fleets' remaining periods under warranty?

How many fires at Fremont that the Fremont Fire Department was not called? There's a difference between fires on property where the public has access versus those where only employees may be at risk.

That's the role of competent, articulate, knowledgeable and honest Public Relations specialists in other companies perform. Tesla seems to dance around/evade direct substantive questions on earnings calls, and relies on vaporous questions from cheerleaders to consume the tightly controlled...

Can you blame him? If the entrenched executives at the OEMs are too addled to appreciate the genius of Elon's visions, don't they deserve an agonizing, but quick, demise?

Got it! Here, everything is attributable to “da shortz”. Elsewhere, some may be trying to understand how to “play” (aka trade) the situation. <<The depositary of the offer has advised that, as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on March 27, 2019, a total of approximately 5,964,871 shares of Maxwell...

Apologies for not having followed the discourse carefully. Isn't one of the issues for conversion to EV-Solar- Storage the individual residents' sunk costs in prior technologies? The "gilets jaunes' " discontent may not be isolated to Paris if the transition to conversion is too precipitous. I...

What happens to those small holders' MXWL shares if they sit on their hands and the deal closes? (Some may have bought MXWL as a part of a basket of high risk lottery tickets that would pay-off "bigly" if just a few survived, and are disappointed that their MXWL ticket is being pre-empted...

Ok, thanks I had the impression that, under the previous business plan, SolarCity initially owned the systems used in leases and PPAs, but had insufficient tax liability to realize the benefits of the credits. The tax equity structures and NCIs was a work-around to make the economics work for...

Do cash and loan sales offer the same opportunities to monetize the Solar Tax Credits using tax equity structures with non-controlling interests as the prior leases/PPAs did?

New Day, next narrative --"While Tesla Inc.'s(TSLA) 5.3% notes due 2025 were recently down just 0.25 cents on the dollar, their extra yield over Treasurys at one point Friday jumped to 5.99 percentage points -- their highest on record -- from 5.83 percentage points Thursday, according to...

Near the end of the clip, Baron said Telsa had "reduced the Cobalt content of the battery from 20-30% to 2 or 3%" Was the cobalt content in NCA cells ever close to 20%? Also, he said Tesla vehicles get 4.1 miles/kWh while competitors' cars are only capable of 2.5 miles/kWh. Is that accurate?

So has Tesla dropped it's plan to build its own vehicle transporters?

Ray may be rationalizing a bit to support his conclusion. Most serious U.S. car buyers visit the local dealers' websites in their metropolitan areas to shop prices with the internet sales person (after checking invoiced costs with Edmunds, KBB, etc. for the configurations they are considering.)...

Does Tesla add back deferred revenue and subtract COGS related stock-based compensation?

If accurate that moves S&P 500 entry to November.

Immediate availability might stimulate demand (and nearly immediate positive cash flow) for candy, but not cars. Buyers have to settle existing loans or leases and tend to haggle over the trade-in value of their existing ride. Many are on call lists for SRs, and there are no reports any have...

Was TE awarded the Vistra stationary storage contract at Moss Landing?

Here's a cynic's take:

Some relegated to public transportation prefer more personal space. Ever been in the Mexico City metro during rush hour? They enforce separate cars based on gender.

Who/how many are the MMs? Are there MMs on each Options Exchange? If so, do they act in concert or does each one trade around its own book? Are MMs on the Equity Exchanges involved?

Most rank and file in the construction crafts (at least on fly-over country projects) have no qualms about putting their cards in their shoes and working open-shop, if that is who has the work. The invidious unions are public worker unions who negotiate with governmental employers--look at how...

OK. I was just thinking that, since Tesla can sell all the S's & X's produced at full price in other markets, it might be better to use profits from those sales to accelerate local production at GF3 near Shanghai so neither Tesla nor its Chinese customers would have to pay the tariffs over the...

Why, then, would Tesla be willing to absorb 12-26% less S & X gross margin percentage in China because of tariffs rather than diverting those vehicles to alternate markets where the demand garners the full GM%?
