That's not even the biggest point! The large format cells in the Leaf are also made of hundreds of small cells, i.e. the individual cathode and anode sheets within them. Except in that case, they're permanently welded together and don't have individual fuses like the 18650's do in the Tesla...

This spurred a random memory, but do you guys remember that limo in Vegas that caught fire and the driver kept going because he thought the banging on his window was the girls partying too hard and even scolded them with "No smoking allowed!"? Actually, here's the story: Limo driver: Fire took...

I hope you don't believe the quality in this forum is the only reason the stock price is at the current level.

This might've been answered before, it's a long thread and I couldn't find it with a quick search. Do options have any pressure on the stock price? If I buy OTM calls for let's say $200, does it have any effects on the stock price today (upwards or downwards)?

Electric car fires are only bad if there is no cause for them. In this case, there was an accident. A Fisker Karma spontaneously combusting is bad press.

QFT. I think APPL is waiting for the next big thing to come to their door looking for the highest bidder instead of them developing it.

Kilovolts != Megawatts. It does mean it can travel at least a few inches through the air to electrocute you however.

Anyone know a good message board for SpaceX discussion?

I guess I was wrong. Issue with Dragon thruster pods.

Looked like failure of solar array deployment. Most likely in power-save mode and calculating battery energy for one attempt at ISS.

I would think so to a point. The problem is, making an audi R8 all-aluminum alloy 40-valve V10 engine is far more expensive than making the typical run of the mill engine in a sub $30k sedan. With electric cars, if you have the batteries to go 200 miles (Gen III), the difference between that...

Would that imply positive news?

It's not a list price though, it's a manufacturer suggested retail price. It's like going to Jos. A. Bank and buying a $2000 suit while the guy next to you buys the same one for $800 and also gets two other suits for free.

I don't trade in options but as far as I know, a put is an option to sell, not buy. The contract you mention would bring in $400 but you're betting that at no time between now and Jan will the stock price drop below $23.

Sure, but the home AC would be using that continuously for hours. How long have you had the max AC on in a car? Even on the hottest day, I have to turn it down after 5 mins.

Speaking of Vegas, well Atlantic City, I just visited the new Revel casino which is astoundingly luxurious! Later I was curious to learn more about it so I went to Wikipedia and found out that the project stalled in 2011 and construction ceased. To revive it, Governor Chris Christie provided...

It was really poorly planned. He was really nervous because there were 10 reporters trying to stick their mic's up to his nose. You could even see one spraw on the stage to his left to get closer and when an employee told him to not look ridiculous and back up, the reporter pretty much told him...

I really like reading people's comments on articles and reports but the Yahoo ones make me want to punch something. At least one in 10 asks "But how long does it take to charge?" You're on the god damn internet, are there really so many dumb people that can't go to the tesla website or just...

Apple reveal presentation this was not. Still really happy though!

This is making me so giddy... I can't wait for all the reveals and news!

That's laughably bad

That doesn't sound to you like the car will run over pedestrians?

Maybe not completely, though it helps to have a rocket scientist at the helm.

If he comes back with news that everything's on track and there are no hickups, the stock could stablilize at 40 by the end of next week.

I wouldn't invest in Tesla if there weren't any doubters. If everyone expected success, the stock would remain the same in value when Tesla met all of their goals. The more doubters, the more upside. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't shorts good for long investors either way? There is a...

Any news or reason why it's up 5%+ today?

Most of the slowness would be down to the 3g connection, especially for the maps. And yes, NVidia's Tegra3 is far faster. I do hope there is a slight sound or feedback to a touch, like the small vibration on a touch screen phone.

Or better yet, think rationally and realize that the entertainment system is completely seperate from the traction system and no such thing can happen. Journalists nowadays spend way too much time writing and blogging and too little doing any sort of research on subject matter.

Not a touch screen

Hahaha, although that solid battery pack at the base just might be able to do it!

Well, I liked the conference call so far. Put a few grand more in the stock before it shoots back up to the original levels. Here's to a successful Model X launch. Wish I bought more on friday...

Yes, that was 89,000 only in the US. Well, quote from CNN states "There have been 81 cases of water pump failure in Mini Coopers globally so far, Bauters said, including four engine compartment fires. No accidents or injuries have been reported as a result of this issue." I personally...

BWM recalled 89,000 Mini Coopers due to them catching on fire! Quick, everyone stop driving your ICE cars.
