I must, or I like 99% of the world dont pay attention to those awards or Hollywood awards or pretty much any awards.

There actually isn't; he has to dial his tone in for the particular forum. This one has its style and flavor, and it is overwhelmingly bullish. He can't just spout the same stuff here that he spouts on SA under another alias.
Actually yes, you already pinged my radar before you defended myusername, so that just is what it is... *shrug*
The attitude on this forum that anyone that isn't 100% bullish MUST be a 'troll' (and most of you use that word incorrectly) is the worst part of this forum. I find myself leaving for weeks / months when it gets to be too irritating.
If someone bothers you that much, use the ignore feature.

There is a lot more to a car than the drive train. My last Mercedes lasted 15 years and 250,000 miles, but all of the plastic bits were deteriorating, the suspension was getting sloppy, and the paint was peeling. If I hadn't taken excellent care of them, the seats would have been shot as well. Honestly, some of the questions you ask make me wonder if you even drive a car.
The people who needed to see it, saw it. Just because a large percentage of the planet didn't, doesn't mean the award had no value forwarding the adoption of EVs. The award was significant even if it only validated all the risks taken and the hard work done by the people at Tesla.
I dislike it when accomplishments are so easily brushed off like that. Especially when it's not like just anyone can go out there, start a brand new car company, build a car from scratch of an 'alternative' fuel source and win a prestigious award (unanimous decision btw, the first of its kind in the 69 year history of the award) beating out all other OEMs, who've been around for decades and decades and supposedly know what it takes to build a car to win - and can't do it.
no, no, calm down mate.Perhaps you should offer proof before you slander someone else.

And, of course, I'll likely be labeled a "paid shrill" or "troll" for this post.

On a day like today let us remember the following two facts.
1. The original production/sales goal of Model S was 20000.
2. Model 3 production has been moved up by 2 years, due to off the chart demand.
I see you are projecting 35B in revenues next year. What is your TE estimate for next year?Yes, and the stock is currently pricing 500k cars in 2020 (500k x $60k ASP x 10% margin x 20 multiple), with no value for TE.
I hear you, and it's impressive as hell, but I also feel that these awards at the end of the day don't mean much for SP

Have to disagree. The x is modeled after other fastback SUVs such as mb gle and bmw X6. Much sleeker and sportier styling vs boxy suv. Faster too. FWD are amazing in parking lots with tight spaces. Prevents kiddos from rapidly opening doors and causing door dings on other cars. Far easier to get in and out. Fwiw, I always check my hands and surroundings opening any car door including sliders from minivans...It is great evidence of the failure of the X that the S again outsold the X in Q2. In an era where sedans are out of flavor and everyone is buying SUVs, Tesla can't sell more SUVs than sedans. The X will always be an incredibly expensive missed opportunity for Tesla. It's been Musk's only major mistake, but it was a huge one (yes, life-threatening for Tesla). Instead of making tons of money off the X, it will take years to recoup the R&D as well as warranty repair costs of the FWDs.
I know I sound like a broken record about the X, but man, it bothers me so much that we'd be at a TOTALLY different place in the life of Tesla had they kept it simple. Now I know why Elon once stated that profitability would come in 2020 after earlier stating 2017 - he KNEW the X had cost Tesla 3 years of profit.
The presentation drew comparisons between the Pilbara and the Finish city of Vaasa, which is leveraging its proximity to Europe’s largest lithium deposit to attract a Tesla Gigafactory.
“The purpose of the presentation was to put the Pilbara on the map and get people thinking about the transformational role our region should play in meeting future global energy demand,” Mr Le Serve said.
“Vaasa’s proposal has attracted wide support and I think we have a lot to learn from this entrepreneurial approach to attracting investment to the Pilbara.”
“It was a bold comparison, but it really got people thinking about what’s possible for our region. Potential gigawatt-scale renewable energy projects are already being discussed in the region to capitalise on the Pilbara’s solar resources, proximity to Asia and high quality export infrastructure. If any one of these projects materialises, the economic benefits will be substantial.”
The presentation highlighted the case study of American car maker, energy storage company and solar panel manufacturer, Tesla Inc. which is expected to announce up to four new Gigafactory locations this year to meet projected demand for its car and energy products.
The Office of Economic Development in Nevada, US, where Tesla’s first Gigafactory commenced production earlier this year, estimated the factory would result in 6,500 direct operational jobs and an additional 16,200 indirect jobs, with a total annual economic impact of $USD 5.4 billion.
“The Pilbara has some of the world’s largest lithium deposits on its doorstep, so it’s important we explore the supply-chain possibilities of value-adding to the mineral extraction process by manufacturing the end-product,” Mr Le Serve said.
“The Commission will continue to be a strong advocate for economic growth in the Pilbara by positioning the region as an attractive location for renewable energy projects.”
