I see you are projecting 35B in revenues next year. What is your TE estimate for next year?
$5B, mostly Solar Roof but also some storage in 2H18.

Has Spiegel appeared on MSNBC or Bloomberg? Just curious
Elon said that TE will start to ramp exponentially in Q3 and more in Q4. So your estimate is probably low.$5B, mostly Solar Roof but also some storage in 2H18.

Three large cars win top award from IIHS
And Tesla wasn't one of them. Got only an acceptable rating in the small overlap test again, not a good one.
2017 Tesla Model S (models built after January 2017) 40 mph small overlap IIHS crash test
Cherrypicked quote that Lebeau probably fished for from an IIHS (non governmental) vs NHTSA (government) guy. Personally, I'd probably drive with a five point harness on the highway if it came standard, but most people wouldn't do this. Also, how an Avalon (or any combustion engine car with an engine block that can penetrate the cabin in a collision) could possibly be considered overall safer than a Tesla Model S based this one test is beyond me. This portion seems relevant:
Tesla defends the Model S and its safety record. In a statement to CNBC, a Tesla rep said: "Tesla's Model S received the highest rating in IIHS's crash testing in every category except for one, the small overlap front crash test, where it received the second highest rating available. While IIHS and dozens of other private industry groups around the world have methods and motivations that suit their own subjective purposes, the most objective and accurate independent testing of vehicle safety is currently done by the U.S. government, which found Model S and Model X to be the two cars with the lowest probability of injury of any cars that it has ever tested, making them the safest cars in history."
It's true the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has given both the Model S and the Model X five-star safety ratings, the highest score possible. In fact, the Model X is the only SUV to ever earn a five-star rating from the federal government.
Elon said that TE will start to ramp exponentially in Q3 and more in Q4. So your estimate is probably low.
Debunked? Because of Tesla's statement?The above report has already been debunked in another thread:
Read before you spread FUD all over. I just noticed you even created a separate thread in this regard and you are yapping in multiple threads on same topic.Debunked? Because of Tesla's statement?

One of a dozen so-called independent agencies!?!? Please name the other 11. Don't get me wrong the CNBC article had a pretty obvious negative spin but the IIHS itself is basically the only other agency that anyone pays attention to in the US. So Tesla is only acceptable with the relatively new small overlap test. 2 out of the 3 cars that got the highest mark in this test were completely redesigned for 2017. Maybe Tesla figured it out for the Model 3 but either way it is the same test that all automakers are getting and a large number of them are having a hard time getting the 'good' rating. Only a complete redesign will be able to pass and I have high confidence Tesla will get it right when they release a full redesign in a couple years.Read the Tesla response again. IIHS is one of a dozen so called independent agencies with their own subjective tests. NHTSA, the official US govt agency has given top ratings to Tesla. I trust them more than anything.

Perhaps you should offer proof before you slander someone else.
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. And, of course, I'll likely be labeled a "paid shrill" or "troll" for this post.
But many cars fail the small overlap test since it was introduced in 2012. Sound familiar? Some new car was released that same year. So in their first production car Tesla failed to design for a test they probably didn't even realize was coming - or if they did it was probably too late. I don't see how the test existing is a bad thing and it sounds like Tesla did fairly well regardless. Someone has to do a better job explaining to me where the conspiracy is here. The negative spin is one thing and it is really sad that almost all news sources do this but the test and rating is completely fair IMHO.Insurance industry wants Tesla dead.
The US government's safety agency has rated both Model S and Model X top safety.
OK, really? Great, Tesla is learning how to do their own PR spin. The truth is right there in the middle. The Model S and X are very safe cars. IIHS and NHTSA are the only 2 major agencies in the US that do crash testing. NHTSA gives Tesla 5 stars in every category and IIHS gives Tesla their highest mark in all but the small overlap test. I cannot believe people are seeing more than these simple facts.Read this part of the Tesla response carefully:
"Tesla defends the Model S and its safety record.

back on ignore you go"My point is, myusername is an OBVIOUS paid shill, and should not ever be taken seriously"
well... you're wrong... and the truth is it's YOU GUYS that spend your time talking about me and trolls and "paid shills" while I actually talk about topics related to the company and stock. for example, you guys tried to run me off while I said M3 deliveries could easily be under 20k... this was just 3 months ago... and who was right?
there are many. perhaps an app or something for newusers "These users are ignored by "X" number of people or these folks have greater than "X" number of disagrees. give that a weighted function of some kind and...thereby suggesting the only viable option.
