Sorry folks, this is exactly what I was worried about a week ago. We are still at a large lack of testing kits in our health system which means that the infected numbers will continue to rise. I predict production will be shut off for at least a month. Invest accordingly.

A physician's perspective and what I'm worried about for TSLA. We got an email from our health system today that they started large scale testing for Covid-19 just yesterday. They are only testing those individuals that are symptomatic but also who don't test positive for other viruses like flu...

I'm not shorting. I bought my TSLA shares on the date of the IPO and had a reservation for the Model S 2 years prior to the IPO. My initial investment has paid for both my Model S, my Model 3, and soon the new Roadster. I believe in TSLA long term, but the point I'm trying to entertain is that...

Questions about Q1 deliveries and why I feel they may be lower than expected. I have a feeling that TSLA may report lower than expected Q1 car deliveries. First I don't know what the "expected number" is, but given that Elon has stated that their goal is well over 500K deliveries for this year...

This is fairly simple. If you want to protect your gains, buy some puts against your shares. It's just like insurance. The longer out the puts are the more expensive they are so the bigger premium you will have to pay. This will protect your gains and still give you more profits if the stock...

I had the same issue until I watched the video. You need to slide the lower portion to the left to unsnap it which I didn't realize initially.

I'm an owner that previously drove a Model S P85 for 5 years and currently have a Model 3. Overall, I like the Model 3 better, but for me it is about size. I like the smaller size of the 3 better for me than the S. If you prefer a larger car you should go with the CPO S. Everything else is...

I think Tesla has some technical glitch with sending notification emails that your reservation is ready to be configured. I'm a previous Tesla owner and already have my Model 3 (love it BTW), but I never received an email from Tesla that my car was ready to configure. I wasn't checking my...

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Autopilot is available for me to use at present (I've driven 100 miles), but do the adjacent lanes and cars in them show up later with more calibration? Does anyone who has had the car for a while have an answer for this?

I just took delivery of my Model 3 yesterday and absolutely love the car. For reference I've driven a Model S P85 for the past 5 years. But I'm not used to the autopilot and not sure how it's supposed to work and am looking for some answers to a couple of questions. First, is there no...

Not sure if this is true. I wanted to listen CNN or CNBC this morning - no go. If I wanted to listen to a live football game (like on sirius) how do I do this?

Before you give anyone false hopes, from what I can see, Tesla has NO intention of EVER having satellite radio in the Model 3 and I'm not sure that the hardware is there so it can't be fixed with a software update. If someone knows definitively, please tell us.

Just picked up my Model 3 today vin #6260. Here are my first impressions. For reference, I've had a P85 Model S for the past 5 years. First of all, I love the car. The build quality is great and I really don't see any build issues. Driving the car, it seems "tighter" than my Model S. I...

Picking up vin 6260 in Phoenix today.

Guys, I've been a Tesla fan for years. Mine was one of the first deliveries of the Model S in Arizona because I put down a 5K deposit 2 years before the car was even delivered and I love my model S. And I think the Model 3 is going to be a great car, but WTF, this was one of the worst...

This is good to know. I'm wondering if the P85 has more failures compared to the 85 or 60. Also, I was one of the first cars delivered in AZ, but do not drive my car "hard" so I'm wondering also if this may be a use related phenomenon that can show up with more miles. The interesting thing...

So my drive unit on my P85 is being replaced. I have 32K miles on the car and the problem I was having is excessive noise when driving above 75 mph. I've been doing some research on the drive unit problems and it is difficult to get a good idea with no official word from Tesla regarding what...

As a follow up, I just got my car back. After they put the new rear tires on, I told the SC to reduce the rear camber to the minimum allowable, and just by looking at the rear wheels, I can definitely notice a difference in the camber - it is much less. Hopefully this will reduce my tire wear...

This excessive rear camber is a real issue. My car (P85) has 14,000 miles on it and I had the tires rotated for the first time at 4500 miles. At 9000 miles, during a service visit, Tesla told me that all the tires needed to be replaced due to inner edge wear. I had them replace all 4 tires...

Hey, great app. I'm also an iOS developer and Tesla owner. I have a solution for you for the "know when a car is done charging problem". How about if the owner of the car can log into the app when they start charging and then enter what their current charge level is and/or the expected end...

HFT is gaming the system plain and simple. How can front running any order be fair? Where is the risk?

Mark, how about putting the Indio supercharger in the Near Arizona list. It is really essential for any kind of PHX to LA trip.

Also, there is a loud audible warning as well as a message in the dashboard that says both pedals are pressed so this is really a non-issue.

Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but here is a link to a WH petition to allow Tesla to sell directly in all 50 states. It has over 100,000 signatures already: allow Tesla Motors to sell directly to consumers in all 50 states. | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government

Can someone please explain the real impact of this on the people of NJ? Supposedly Arizona where I live is also one of those states that bans "direct sales" but I really don't see the actual effect. I mean, they have a show room in Scottsdale, I can view the car, talk to sales people, test drive...

What does this really mean? Can someone please explain the real impact of this on the people of NJ? Supposedly Arizona where I live is also one of those states that bans "direct sales" but I really don't see the actual effect. I mean, they have a show room in Scottsdale, I can view the car...

Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to incorporate as a software update. Some of the features the Model S already has, but some such as hands-free texting would definitely be nice. I hope they decide to do this.

Drove through the same rain with flooded streets and completely soaked car with no brake issues what so ever, but reading this thread is scary. Brakes not working as soon as you hit them is no laughing matter. For those having this issue, is it that every time your brakes are wet that this...

Such is the nature of options and time value erosion. You have to remember that every day (every hour really) every option contact slowly loses value as the time to it expiration is getting shorter even if the underlying stock makes no move.

Not much more info than we already knew. Haven't select the site yet - either NV, AZ, NM, or TX. Won't be operational until 2017. No partners listed.

When you are holding deep in the money calls, the risk is high (i.e. you have a lot of money out there that can evaporate quickly if the stock drops). I'd probably sell some at least and wait for a pull back and reload.

And now this: Consumer Reports Judges Tesla Best in Show - Corporate Intelligence - WSJ Consumer Reports ranks Tesla as best car to buy.

This thread is a great idea. I have an early production version (P130) and am somewhat concerned, but I've had no issues at all with the HV battery and maybe these are just isolated incidents and to date they represent a small percentage of even the early owners. I'm also comforted by the fact...

beginning of a short squeeze? Doug Kass buying his shares back?

I just watched this presentation by JB Straubel: JB Straubel | Energy@Stanford SLAC 2013 - YouTube This is really a must watch for anybody long or short TSLA. In this video is the real barrier to entry for any competitor. He says that by 2019, Tesla hopes to sell about 700,000 cars which...

I would agree that a very large percentage are TSLA owners. This does present some interesting points for anyone who wants to short TSLA. Here is my idea. Most TSLA owners are fairly well off financially in order to be able to own a Tesla. If a large percentage of these owners are also TSLA...

There are many who say that Tesla’s meteoric rise in the auto industry can not continue because there will be competitors coming that will take a bite out of their market. Well I feel that there are no real competitors to Tesla at present and will not be for quite some time. Why? Well we...

Hey, I'm the guy with the brown car that gets their car washed there! They do a nice job. I get the hand wash option because of the possibility of scraping the rims in the automated channel. This may not be an issue if you have the 19 inch rims instead of the 21s. Haven't noticed an issue...

A note of caution for anyone going from buckeye sc to the flagstaff sc. I live in Arrowhead which is 30 miles closer to Flagstaff than the Buckeye supercharger but along the same route. I have a second home in Flagstaff which is about a mile from the Flagstaff supercharger. I've done many...

27 days power drain video This is an old thread, but I wanted to post this video I found of someone who left his Model S at the airport for 27 days in what seems to be a very cold environment to test the vampire drain. Tesla Model S vampire drain after 27 days in winter - YouTube...

Sousaphil - just had a crack appear on my windshield on the same day as you here in Phoenix. I'm at 11 months and 10,000 miles. Maybe has something to do with the cooler weather?

I have to say that my Telsa setup for my iPhone with the USB is better than my other cars. I like the fact that the USB doesn't actually "connect" to the sound system but only charges the iPhone. On my other cars, this connects the music to the car and you have to control which song to play...

The AC uses much less energy than heating. I'm also in Phoenix and I drove the car from Phoenix to Flagstaff on Friday. The temp when I left Phoenix was 112 and I had the cruise set at 83. By the time I got to Flagstaff, the temp was 82. This trip took 53 kWh. The identical trip I did in...

Model S same carbon footprint as a honda civic? I'm responding to this article: Tesla's Carbon Footprint Is No Better Than A Honda Civic's - Forbes Here are some obvious issues. First the Model S is a much larger more powerful car. Also the author doesn't take into account the carbon...

The temps here in Phoenix are pushing to over a 100. I do get this noise, vibration, but only when I first start the car and get going. It is pretty much gone after about a minute. Although it is loud in the beginning, I'm not bothered by it since it only lasts a minute.

I have a vin about 400 before yours and they replaced my 12v. Didn't really have an issue, but it said that it couldn't do a software update because the 12v was too low.

Wow! that looks great.

This same thing happened to me with the 4.3 update. Curious as to why Al was not given this message? Tesla service came over to our house and replaced the 12V and everything has been fine. Never lost use of the car. I watched them change the 12V. It is buried in the passenger side of the...
