I know one post was from the in store “giant check” and another from the...

    Delivery/Installation: Rear Facing Child Seats

    So now that we have seen about 900 VINS and maybe 500 deliveries has anyone else had the rear facing seats delivered or installed? Seeing Elon driving the car with all the seats leads me to believe there is no regulatory issues as some surmise? So what could it possibly be at this point? The car...

    Delivery/Installation: Rear Facing Child Seats

    i hate to be the person who fans the flames, but why would it be a safety issue? I assume when Tesla got the approval from the DOT for production of the car they would have also received approval for the seats, I get that they were optional but the data should have been comprehensive to include...

    Delivery/Installation: Rear Facing Child Seats

    DrTaras, thanks for the reply....i think I might be getting into the OCD category as I have been reading just about everything on the car. I opted to defer my reservation since no one has effectively answered the question i posed and like you said its not a cosmetic thing i am upset about, but a...

    Hansjörg von Gemmingen Roadster pack out of juice?

    German article in Die Welt -- is this verifiable? Model S battery is different no? From Die Welt, 14 Oct 2012 "Failed -- The Tesla electric sports car in the long-term test" Range was never the issue for Hansjörg von Gemmingen, 49, with a 340-kilometer extended battery. The currency...

    Delivery/Installation: Rear Facing Child Seats

    Has anyone that ordered the optional jump seats had their car delivered? If so, have they been installed yet? If not, is there a timeline for the eventual installation of the seats. Also, has there been a formal answer from Tesla why they haven't been installed yet? Is it a supplier issue or a...

    TSLA Investor Discussions

    DriverOne, that is gross margins not EBIT margins you are forgetting about $350 - $400mm of SG&A and R&D in your calculations as well as interest expense and eventually a tax rate. Using your numbers 20,000 units at 25% gross margins and $80k ASP you would get $0 to $50mm in profits or about...
