On a serious note, looking forward to seeing what other direct and indirect jobs are created because of it over the next couple of months and years as they scale.

"Panasonic hopes to have slightly more than 300 people working by the end of the year at its portion of the Tesla solar panel factory...

Panasonic expects to continue adding workers into next year, with a target of hiring an additional 60 people or more during the first three to four months of 2018, a Panasonic official said."

SEVEN YEARS AND $400,000 IS NOT ENOUGH FOR KILLING 1,200 PEOPLE!!!

VW exec gets maximum sentence, fine for Dieselgate role

Study: Volkswagen’s excess emissions will lead to 1,200 premature deaths in Europe

"Six other former Volkswagen executives remain at large in the case, according to David Ashenfelter, a federal court spokesman. Experts have said Cox’s tough sentencing could make it unlikely that other indicted employees — most living in Germany and out of reach from U.S. law enforcement authorities — will be brought to justice in the scandal that marred Volkswagen’s image as an environmentally friendly company."

Missouri Appeals Court Hands Win To Electric Car Maker Tesla



Not to denigrate the benefits in Missouri, but how is the ruling consequential in jurisdictions beyond the borders of Missouri? Also, I have read that "lack of standing" is an appellate judicial cop-out to avoid addressing the substantive issues in a legal dispute on their merits. Is that incorrect?

That court essentially ruled that a lawsuit cannot be brought against an entity simply for being a business competitor.

I suspect that these anti-Tesla economic rent-seekers will eventually all be quashed as more of this progresses through the courts. A federal court ruling in Michigan is expected in a couple of months.

Not good. There is just no inventory available for last minute purchases. Tesla has been bringing down inventory levels since October. If you want an inventory car now, there are very slim pickings. However, if Tesla decided to sell every demo and loaner car they have in the USA, it could goose 4Q sales by probably 3K cars if it was confirmed that the tax credit is gone in 2018.

So we could have a scenario where more vehicles are delivered than produced (for S/X) ...?
 
Norway is having another great day. 88 and still half a day to go. Tesla Registration Stats
Month now at 610

One number that is also interesting on that page is the total number of MS/MX delivered in Norway : 20.350.
Now also consider that the population of Norway is only 5.267.146 (2017 - wikipedia)

That means that 1 out of every 258 citizens in Norway has a Tesla. (WOW !)
Completely ludicrous when considering this is a US$ 100k car.

(Anton Wahlman mode: Why has Tesla not even shipped 27.131.783 cars for the 7B world citizens yet ?? SAD, FAIL !!)
