I'm wondering if/hoping that we will have those days again.

Another good article by Fred L: Chris Lattner on why he left Apple:

This is a large, very heavily traded, "disrupting" company that has room to grow at 50% a year for many years to come, and they pretty much make only class leading products and services. Barring some major catastrophe/market crash, those times will come back, maybe sooner than it seems after the last year of slogging.
Not being diversified is the worst because you're breaking one of the most important rules in the book for long term investing (don't keep your eggs in one basket), but for trading or shortish term stuff, sometimes NOT having all those eggs in one means you miss out on a lot of omelets. I hate being un-diversified but with Tesla I think it makes some sense if you can stomach some sustained low-tides in order to get in on the tsunamis.
Looking at the chart today, the 1mo, 3mo, and year long charts all show about a 15% gain. Not sure how much I would read into it but it's nice to see that continuity.
One date point: The KOP (King of Prussia, PA) store and Devon, PA store/SC had NO 'solar sections' as of last week. There was an abandoned Solar City kiosk just outside the KOP store entrance.
There is a brand new store opening soon at Canary Wharf (financial district in London) - I will take a look as soon as it is open and report back....
Nothing in the Houston North location as of 12/30 when I was there (and I looked).

I prefer the Warren Buffett quote of 'keep all your eggs in one basket, but watch that basket closely'. (Or was it Mark Twain? or Dale Carnegie? Anyway I like it)

I was at Home Depot yesterday. There was a Solar City saleswoman in a Solar City polo standing behind a Solar City desk/booth.

Thx. Makes sense that existing marketing/branding continue true the transition/rebranding
Same. And they were AGGRESSIVE...following people down aisles to talk to them. When they approached me I told them I drive a Tesla and I'm well aware of their services...thanks.

InsideEVs reports Tesla got 1st and 3rd for 2016 sales: Tesla Takes #1 & #3 Spots In 2016 Full Year EV Sales Rank For U.S.
Cross-post from the Climate Change/Global Warming Thread -- 2016 was the hottest year on record. For the third year in a row.

In the Electrek article they included this: "Electrek confirmed with Tesla that the part replacements will be covered by the warranty and they will try to proactively replace them before failure occurs for safety reasons and in order to avoid any inconvenience to the owners."
Yea same thing happened a month ago...I was wearing my Tesla hat & told the SCTY guy I already had panels & he still followed me around, he kept pushing the new Tesla solar roof tiles claiming they were coming out this summer blah blah blah, he kept nagging me for my address & email info, he finally left when I told him if he wanted to be useful he could help find a specialty lightbulb I had come in to buy.

This is what happens when you have commission only salespeople.
I try not to make eye contact as I walk by.
