    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I've spent the last couple hours looking through the images of F-150, Ram, Silverado, Tundra, etc... and this dang CyberBeast is growing on me, it's growing on me. The existing bunch just starting to look dated, seriously dated...

    My favorite part of today's video from Jason Yang showing the full plan of Giga Shanghai.

    Giga Shanghai panoramic views. Not quite the time lapse video I was hoping for, but it was still impressive to go back to a mud field and compare to what it is today.

    I especially like the "Mild" Hybrids. What *are* they? Something like the red sauce from Taco Bell (mild) vs the green sauce (spicy).

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    The Uber/Lyft thing during the CC caught my attention. Especially the idea of owners can add their car to the Tesla Fleet (airbnb-like). Consider the group of owners of bare bottom M3s, where the car is FSD capable; just not accessible. But once in the fleet, these capabilities get turned on...

    So much for that big Uber IPO... perhaps deflated now.

    Nevada loves Tesla. In my opinion, Tesla's success lies with its energy division, with cell and pack production. Taking its pulse at GF1 shows Tesla is healthy. Report shows Tesla’s battery Gigafactory booming Tesla battery factory moves past Nevada tax break benchmark

    My take... A fortnight means two weeks. Yup. And Phlebas has been dead for that long. I would take it as saying goodbye to being public, as we take the wheel and go windward (a direction with more control for a naval vessel).

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    After some digging, this is actually old news from July, not quite "breaking" as vincent put it. It was good news then nevertheless. Quick Google Translate of the July 11th news: On July 11, the Shanghai Municipal Government held a press conference to respond to Tesla's settlement in the...

    Some news from Shanghai. Via vincent (twitter) The Shanghai government will fully assist Tesla to build Gigafactory in China Shanghai Lingang and put it into production as soon as possible.

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Another BI article, I know I know... but I wanted to see how they cover Einhorn's short shorts story. And then they said this: "Tesla is down 0.86% in trading Friday and up 9.1% since the beginning of the year." So up is now down. I guess they see those shorts as slacks.

    Touching story. I followed the story to EM "Thanks!" only to find this... The $420 price for TSLAP is not a financial happen chance, I am sure EM was doing some rounding to get there, it's his way to laugh at the shorts. EM: 420 haha

    I see that the number $70B being mentioned, but in just removing EM share and say 50% of the rest chose to go private; what is a more realistic number? $30B ?

    Something just clicked in my head. Dave Morton (accounting guy) from Seagate just joined Tesla last week (a Seagate guy since 1995). Didn't Seagate went private and IPO again in 2002 ? Perhaps the same script is being played out...

    From what I saw, these were dropping off. They came from the direction of the factory (about a mile north of this), and queued up to get inside the holding lot.

    Just drove by what looks like a delivery center for Tesla near the factory (47623 Fremont Blvd). A little bit down the road is a holding lot full of 3s with multiple car carriers waiting to go in. Fremont Customer Delivery Center and Holding Lot

    Elon Musk Unmasked as Top Donor to House Republican PAC

    Musk it more than an individual, he is a brand; and as a brand he needs to pay into the political machine to have access. But his brand is much more aligned with values opposite to that of the GOP, he needs to play nice just to keep them from attacking the brand. We all know about the constant...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    IMO, the 200K in July (instead of June) news was significant; despite the seemingly negative headlines. But what does that mean in $ fed tax credit for the buyers? My simple math shows a $900M more for the buyers, with a very simple ramp of 7K/wk to 12K/wk production ramp (S+X+3). What am I...

    My take on the two Reuters' "employee" leak stories this week. The first reported production will be short with the estimated number to be just above 4K, citing production rate at mid week. The second story reported production actually hit 5K, not extrapolated production rate. Assuming (ok...

    Tesla’s rush to crank up production revealed in building permits Kinda my first post. I've been fascinated with the Sprung "tent" since it was erected. What caught my eye here is the east end being capped off, but with an "opening" on the south half. Could this be in preparation for GA5? to...
