    From that article: Petty Tyrants I'm calling them reasonable because this is what is needed to keep R0<1, as demonstrated China, South Korea etc, while providing appropriate care to those affected. It will be a matter of days/weeks not months/years. You can't just as one single company decide...

    There is indeed really a big dissonance. Look at these three tweets on March 19: 1. Elon Musk on Twitter No new domestic corona cases in China 2. Elon Musk on Twitter Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April 3. Elon Musk on Twitter Kids are...

    I agree with the complete lockdown not making sense. Here in the Netherlands we're also not under a complete lockdown (most stores and businesses open/working from home) and we're doing fine. Look, Elon is calling articles like this 'interesting' a lot of times last weeks. While he's not...

    First two are true, AFAIK. But if you read that post, you'll see that all doctors want is to intubate as little patients as possible and return to treating patients normally. Also because that's how they make their money. Not by having people on life support for weeks. By the way, this is the...

    Nobody says he needs to be perfect, Fred. Some just want him to be less dumb! I think this Reddit post explains the problem pretty well: Elon Musk, a consistent COVID-19 skeptic, tweets FREE AMERICA NOW : teslamotors

    This is excellent news :) Nevada still producing batteries, lots of cash and I'm sure they'll use the time during shutdown well.

    Sun Tzu also applies to Covid-19: Open confrontation will trigger over-powering resistance. Thus the key to victory is the ability to use surprise tactics. It's an army doubling every week in size, thus by the time it is detected (incubation..) it already doubled. When it starts killing...

    I think a lot of Model 3's are on its way to the Netherlands, they put a special 'bijtelling'-page online: Bijtelling and while you first had to order before 7/14-October to get one in 2019, now they say they're still available. The tax on a Model 3 will increase with ~6.5k€ (over 5 years) from...

    In The Netherlands for sure! Look at this list over here: Europe SR+ bestellingen, 'bestellingen' means 'orders', 'geleverd' == 'delivered'. Here: https://opendata.rdw.nl/Voertuigen/Tesla-Model-3-delivery-NL/76t3-9ba8 I count 47 Model 3s with a 1.584 kg mass. All delivered after June 20...

    My crazy guess for a European GF location is 'Bedrijventerrein Schieveen': Google Maps Is a plot right next to the airport of 1.6 x 1 km. There were some old plans for a business park at that location. Won't be easy with all the rules and regulations here, but if I were Elon I would go there...

    Good question. Look at ihors3 his charts, Ihor Dusaniwsky (@ihors3) | Twitter: Around and after April 23, 3 million shares were sold short while breaking the $250 barrier, then another 3 million to keep it below that. That's around 6 million shares * ~$220 = 1.3 billion of extra shares...

    Here, in December 2014, Morgan Stanley Analyst: Tesla Sales Forecast For 2020 Cut By 40% | CleanTechnica: In 2018 they delivered around 250k vehicles. I'm sure they'll blow right past Jonas' estimate of 300k in 2019. And probably even meet 500k in 2020, like 2014 expectations. Your opinion...

    How then do I read here Drift velocity - Wikipedia" Drift velocity is proportional to current. Also, look at Wikipedia's example: u = I/(nAq) with: u: avg velocity of electrons (m/s) I: current, (ampere, coulomb per sec) n: avg electrons per m^3 A: wire cross section (m^2) q: charge of an...
