Encouraging that they hit their growth targets for 2022, 80%, and are suggesting 60% growth in 2023. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/polestar-delivers-2022-global-volumes-120000463.html

No other car company does this, do they? Does any other company do this? Was Zuckerberg selling Oculus sets? Was the Exxon CFO pumping gas? Didn't think so. It's belief in the mission. Happy New Year, starting tomorrow morning with P+D report!

When the semi was revealed in December 2017, there was 'cargo' that was also the unveiling of the Roadster. What will be their 'cargo' this time at the semi delivery event on 12/1?

Polestar unveiled the Polestar 3 today, impressive vehicle but just over the $80K SUV limit to qualify for the IRA credit. I guess they were too far along in the design to modify based on the credit, but a real miss since they are going to manufacture in the US. I'd get it at $79.9K to qualify...

A year or so ago Elon said he would be stepping back from being on every earnings call, letting Zack, Drew and others take the lead. Should he be on the call today?

Let's see if we can get some discussion going about the upcoming DeLorean. There have a been a few posts scattered in other threads, perhaps we can gain momentum here. They will be releasing more information in several weeks and then a public unveiling in Pebble Beach in August...

Hi All - I asked this question a few years ago but wanted to re-ask. I own a Founder Series Model S, VIN F00014 (right next to Sergey Brin at F00013!) It is signature red, and has been beaten up by gravel and has paint chips all over the hood and front quarter panels. Additionally, there's 8+...

TSLA is currently valued at $130B while SpaceX's current funding round values it at $36B. Comparing them to each other and not other investments, as in you had to decide to invest in two Elon Musk companies in some proportion, how would you do it? Make your own decisions based on risk...

We are considering selling our Founder's Model S. It's been an awesome car and comes with great Tesla history. I tend to drive the Model 3 more often these days, so the Founder's S gets driven 1-2 times/week. I am curious what others recommend for the following. The car drives fine but has the...

Did anyone here attend the Lucid preview that was on Thursday, February 13th, 2020 in the Bay Area? I had an email about it since I had attended the original unveil a few years ago, but since I had not placed a reservation I didn't get an invitation to the event and thus didn't attend. Hoping to...

Elon Musk on Twitter Would be great between Austin and San Antonio, near Circuit of the Americas, which could be its test track!

If you could invest in SpaceX by selling some of your TSLA holdings, would you do it?

Putting this out there, perhaps it's already not in the cards if it's this late and we haven't heard. Lots of amazing effort Doug and team put into the event. Would be awesome if Tesla took this on and used it like other tech companies to reveal upcoming products, software future, etc. Would...

Who among us would participate in a human driven Tesla Network?

Tesla on Twitter

Ok y'all, test drives on me in 4 weeks if I can believe Tesla! See you in San Antonio!

I have a Founder's Series Model S that I'd like to have repainted its signature red color. Can anyone recommend a place to paint it? I probably prefer to stay away from Alamo Heights Collision as I have been less thrilled the last couple times we went there for something. Thx.

I am kicking around the idea of getting a roadster and am wondering if people can weigh in on how much better the cooling system is for the 2.xs (I understand there was a cooling system upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0). I live in San Antonio and the days from June through September are over 95 degrees...

Tesla Friends Displaced by Harvey - Our family is happy to offer our garage apartment to anyone in the Tesla community displaced by Harvey. It's in San Antonio near downtown, 900 sf, fully furnished, linens, dishes, everything. It's 1 BR but we can lend air mattresses as well for any family...

Tesla is holding a test drive event for Model S and Model X in San Antonio this weekend at the Grand Hyatt. Perhaps we'll see some of you there! Experience Tesla in San Antonio

Can someone help me identify this car?

Should be a heroic effort by Tesla employees at delivery centers all around the world - if you are picking up a Model X or S today, please post a photo and comment about the general level excitement/chaos. Thanks!

Here's our Model X getting a healthy lookover by lots of people at the San Antonio event.

The San Antonio event for National Drive Electric week will be on the first weekend, Saturday, September 10 at the Farmer's Market at the Pearl from 9:00-12:30. There's usually a couple thousand people at the Farmer's Market so a good chance to spread the word. I'll be there with our Model X...

...was that Elon has never been more excited about Tesla's future than he is today. Perhaps it's reimagining factory design and output ala Henry Ford, or the democratization of electric transport with Model 3, or Tesla energy using half of Tesla's storage output and changing the world's energy...

OK, the countdown clock should be showing up soon, as should a location with a bit more specificity than the lower half of California and perhaps even a list of events/venues and speakers, right? Or I am just too anxious?

My wife Eva and I went to the Model 3 unveil and spent some time speaking to a nice gentleman from British Columbia. He shared his name and business card with us but neither my wife nor I can seem to find the card (and between the wine and loud music we are brain numb on remembering the name!)...

Elon said he'd update the number of reservations on Wednesday. How many reservations do we think that will be? At last report, by the end of Saturday night, we had hit 276,000 orders. That was the first 3 days, Thursday-Saturday (not sure if it includes 10,000+ from Tesla/SpaceX employees). So...

With the reports coming in that the vast majority of people in line at stores today are ones who have not owned a Tesla before, I think TMC Connect may get a whole new influx of people interested in attending.

This evening my wife and I offered to split the cost of the reservation deposit for anyone (excluding other partners) in my office (www.lakeflato.com) who reserves a Model 3 between 3/31 and 4/30. We'll pay $500 and they'll pay $500. As our Teslas and TSLA have been very good to us for the last...

I know there's a thread with all of us (me included) stumping to be someone's prom date 3/31. Let's head to a higher place... I'd like us to use this thread as a place to nominate people (other than ourselves) we think should be someone's +1. Or perhap, if lucky, extended an invite by Tesla as...

Post a photo, video, or sighting here. Someone in LA, get over there and start reporting!

OK, probably completely unnecessary, but it would be fun. Drop the stakes so it's really about some gaudy referral numbers, say $100 off the deposit for the the person making the reservation, and then if you refer 100 you get invited to the Model 3 reveal in late 2017, first to 1,000 you get a...

Tesla will start taking reservations for Model 3 on March 31st, 2016. How many will they take in 2016?

Doug - Do you have another one in you? Those of us who have gone have loved it, thank you. So, to kick it off, any weekend or location in the hopper for this year? Thanks.

We picked up our Signature X in Austin Friday, 1/15. P90D (Insane but not Ludicrous), Pearl White, White Seats, Black Headliner, Carbon Fiber, 6 seats and pretty much everything else. Much prettier than I remember from the reveal party in September or photos. Love autopilot (our Founder's Model...

We are picking up our Model X in Austin Friday, January 15 and will have an informal viewing/ride party at our house in Monte Vista Saturday afternoon from 3-5. If you're interested in checking out a Model X, PM me and I'll send you the info.

Does anyone have any New Year's Resolutions, especially ones that are Tesla related? Resolved: To help more people buy an electric car in 2016!

On November 18th, 2013 Tesla had hit a post-fire low of 121.38. On January 13th, 2014, the day before Jerome pronounced 'Reckless Growth' at the NA Auto Show in Detroit, Tesla was still only at 139.34. 10 days later, it had appreciated 30% from the 1/13 price to 181.50 on 1/23 and then to 253.00...

When Tesla announced a price increase at the end of 2012 (or 2013, don't recall) it created a demand spike the last few days of that year before the January 1st increase - do you think the end of the referral discounts will do the same?

Tesla has set up their Experience Center at La Cantera and it looks like it will be there a couple months - until December 27th. I'll wander by and check it out this weekend (after the deluge), but I believe it's their mobile store that looks like this: Tesla Hits San Antonio | Tesla Motors...

Tesla's Model S referral program is slated to end on October 31st - do you think they'll extend the program?

A few weeks back I penned the original 'Twas the Night Before Xmas' ahead of the Design Studio going live. On the flight out to the Bay Area today, I got bored with work so here's the encore version of 'Twas the Night Before Xmas' in anticipation of tomorrow night's reveal. See everyone there...

Twas the Night Before Xmas or Account of a Visit from St. Elon 'Twas the night 'for Xmas and all through the forum, The posters were antsy, they'd thrown out decorum! Their stocks had gone up at the end of last week, In the hopes that St. Elon would send out a Tweet. The Res. holders were...

Since many who did not attend TMC Connect have been wondering what went on, here's a single viewpoint (mine) on the events of the weekend. TMC and Tesla asked us to keep information confidential to the group that attended, so I will try to honor that while sharing the big highlights. And...

On the online configurator, I don't see the RWD standard 85 anymore? Only Ds for Model S going forward? RWD reserved for Model 3? Inquiring minds would like to know! Model S Design Studio | Tesla Motors

Tesla shipped the 40 kWh Model S with a 60 kWh pack and then software limited it to 40 kWh. Once this was revealed, 40 kWh owners could pay Tesla to make a software adjustment and give them access to the 60 kWh pack that was in the car. Fast forward... Many are speculating the Model X will come...
