I suspect they are using the Daimler/MB car-making model. I believe Daimler/MB makes a large variety of vehicles including Semis and buses.
Now if Tesla Network becomes a real force, I'm sure Tesla will rethink the bus.

My take: hard to estimate demand, distribution between automotvive and Tesla energy etc. exactly 3 years in advance, so they´re just using the order of magnitude, possibly sandbagging a bit in the process.
Did he actually say that the GWhs of battery capacity would be split between TA and TE? I thought he said that the revenue generated would be split. (Or was it profit generated.) I thought the majority of the battery capacity was going to TA. (Like 2/3 of it.)
I think he also said that he expects the average kWhs per car would be 70. (Which probably includes the S and X.)

BYD already sells more cars.. Tesla already doesn't have 50% but still probably had 90% profits from the sales of those cars.

Could be that when the comment was made, Elon knew they would acquire grohmann. The original goal was 35gw/Y so it's tripled and maybe almost 5x, so I'm sure grohmann had something to do with that as industrial automation is what they do.

Is this because the deal would require them to lock in specific chemistry? It seems like a lot of the improvement we've seen in cells over the last decade wouldn't require much new capex to the battery factory lines to implement. Do you think they are waiting for a more revolutionary form factor + chemstry change rather than the incremental improvements we've seen in the last 20 years?

It should be called.. The inconvenient shot at Elon, the one guy who is probably doing more then anyone to further the goal. Don't get how the left eats its own so easily.
101,000 reasons to hang on to those working Roadsters!

Seriously. Everything Elon does is about saving us from ourselves. Why take that potshot at the end of the trailer?
Gore is just mad that he was not put in the Trump cabinet and EM is attending WH meetings.

Exactly, it should have been something like.. "and Thank you Elon Musk for being maybe the only human being with the forethought to prepare us for the inevitable extinction level event that is 100% guaranteed to happen."
You can think Elon is crazy and he probably is, but im fine with that. At least his intentions are good and his abilities are prolific. I will take a little crazy with the added benefits to the human race. You kind of have to be crazy to do the things he is trying to do.

Excellent! Very similar to @ValueAnalyst IMO. Except points and insights mixed with some very risky investment beliefs.
These two are also worth watching IMO:

Same reason people attack Apple: it gets attention. Does Al Gore even have relevance to the environmental movement anymore?
The people who need to be convinced to take action on climate change aren't the Al Gore followers. The people who need convincing are those who are genuinely afraid that stopping human climate change means going back to the pre-industrial era. That is why Tesla is an easy sell: the Tesla future is cooler, cleaner, and functionally better than what exists today.
Swiss voters embrace shift to renewable energy

Swiss voters embrace shift to renewable energy
Reuters - 8h ago
Quote:
Solar and wind now account for less than five percent of Switzerland's energy output, compared with 60 percent for hydro and 35 percent for nuclear. Under the new law, power from solar, wind, biomass and geothermal sources would rise to at least 11,400 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2035 from 2,831 GWh now.
The law will ban building new nuclear plants. Switzerland has five plants, with the first slated to close in 2019. Voters have not set a firm deadline for the rest, allowing them to run as long as they meet safety standards.
The law also helps utilities that now rely on hydropower, and whose costs exceed Europe's wholesale prices.
