It is always possible that at extended market close the SP is $320 (my definition of uneventful). If it is, it will be the first ER that I can remember where the SP at the beginning of an ER day and the end of it were uneventful overall.

You sure you want to stick around here as the life is slowly squeezed out of your precious BMW? It makes sense why you got so worked up over the M3 release. Now Tesla trumps all BMW offerings.
Please don't use trump and Tesla in the same sentence.
Hey I once loved my BMWs too but sometimes divorce is the best answer.
On the topic of sales/service footprint expansion, there's news on my neck of the woods (Denver). To this point, Tesla has operated a fairly small service center in downtown Denver and one sales location at Park Meadows mall in the south burbs. That's it for the state of Colorado.
This service location was far too small to handle the volume they'll see in the next couple of years as the 3 rolls out, and while Park Meadows is a great location for a gallery, it's the only one in the state and is not a typical car sales location.
I just came across this very exciting article. Tesla bought a recently-vacated dealership location around 7 miles West of Park Meadows and closer to the western burbs. What's more, this location is right in the middle of a string of dealerships: virtually every major automaker is represented. This will expose to the brand a plethora of prospective vehicle purchasers who may not have even known of Tesla's existence. In short, it's the perfect location for a second Tesla sales presence.
What's more, the article reports that Tesla plans to consolidate service from the Evans location to this one, which seems like a big plus to me: it's larger and more easily accessible. I'll just ignore the dig the CADA rep had to stick in when given the opportunity to provide a quote for the article. If that's the best he's got, I'll take that as another plus.
Finally, the article almost casually mentions that Tesla also opened a gallery in Cherry Creek mall, another high-end mall in another part of town.
In short, Tesla has seriously upped their game in Colorado over the past week.

There is actually a breed of horses (Moyle) that have 'horns' and yet are not unicorns. Just FYI.

It actually came out Monday, which is still pretty 'suspect'. Within the article I read the employees included safety numbers for 2015/16 as evidence that they need a union particularly in regard to employee safety. Unfortunately for them, the 2017 numbers are supposedly better than industry standards. So sighting what used to be rather than what is - well, um...good luck with that.

Regarding falling car sales for other manufacturers: I think that may be a combination of both Tesla and the economy heading into the next recession. I think we may be about 2 years from the next housing bubble burst, possibly sooner.

I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.
Pfft! I was trying to be succinct. Fail.
Care to cite your source on that? IIRC Tesla guided to end 2015 at ~100k/yr run rate, not 2014. So you are saying they were off by 6 months if I am right.
Edit: checked for myself

I see you edited to provide a link, but I just wanted to confirm. I pulled the 7/31/14 Q2 shareholder letter and it does indeed guide for 100k annualized run rate by end 2015, not 2014.
Of course, they also guided for Model X production in Spring 2015, so...
