    Elon Musk Instagram Post - Interpret

    I'm hoping this picture that Elon just posted on Instagram is a hint that he gets that 8.0 is seriously flawed in terms of backward compatibility. I myself tweeted him directly my issues.

    Poorly researched Motley Fool article bashes Powerwall

    Is the third quarter push for deliveries really good for Tesla’s future?

    The reality is that the push for deliveries at the end of Q3 has occurred. Elon Musk’s email to employees on 29 August makes it clear he feels it is important to be ‘cash flow positive’ and ‘profitable’ for Wall Street, e.g., Tesla is “on the razor’s edge of achieving a good Q3, but it requires...

    Musk's "worst few weeks" - I don't think it has been.

    How bad has it really been for Elon Musk this last month? The worst weeks ever? Let me remind people about his infamous previous "worst few weeks". Christmas 8 or so years back (2008?) when Tesla nearly folded (it had to convince investors for more funding and Elon had put in his last bit of...

    To Elon Musk RE: My Former Model X

    Elon, Today you lost a great supporter and customer, someone that waited 3 years for their Model X, today I returned my Model X to Tesla Austin Service Center.

    Would Elon bankrupt himself before Tesla?

    It is interesting to hear about how Tesla was started and how close Elon came to losing it all. I wonder now that he is super rich if he is still true to his altruistic vision. I understand that Elons fortunes are heavily tied with Tesla, however if push came to shove, would he sell his stock...

I'm going to...

    As one of the people on the pre-order list for the Tesla Model 3, it was considerate of Elon to send me this Thank You note and a graphic of the Model 3. A long wait ahead, but I take solace in the fact that Tesla knows I exist on the Pre-Order list in California. I'm 80 years old, with the...

    Does SMP2 mean Elon is in it for the long haul?

    So, after reading part deaux, I couldn't help but think that Elon has much more to accomplish at Tesla than just make some cars before he flies to Mars. I've been concerned about chatter in the past that as soon as Tesla is stable making the Model 3 that he will leave to focus on SpaceX. This...

    Why is Elon so obsessed about the doors ?

    Does it really gives value to the cars? Those retracting door handles and the falcon doors? Just got my model S and the rear left handle doesn't work most of the time. Simple handles would be reliable as with any other car and it could still look good.
