Piling on to say great talk! Thanks to Dave to setting it up and to Andrea for offering her time. I watched it delayed so couldn't vote/comment live.
The thing I got out of it is I want her spreadsheet.... Surely she isn't using it any more? Maybe dumbed down. Honestly, if you look at us and our "crowdsourcing" we have gotten lax on the actual modeling. I think it would be neat if we had an official model that we all worked from and debated the inputs and assumptions.
I think John Peterson maintains an active list of therapists for that affliction...Hmm, perhaps I need some life coaching. My life plan consists largely of making money on TSLA. What life coach is equipped to advise on that?

Indeed, and it's often quite obvious that we here are much more informed about Tesla than some of the so called "professional" analysts.Actually, after hearing this I actually do not have the feeling we as retail investors are so far behind.

I think they should take questions from individual investors... find some way to pick questions, say with top upvotes and then answer the top 25. Can be in written Q&A format.
The analysts who have private calls need to get paid guys. Their research is very much accessible to anyone. All you had to do, in this case, was open up a brokerage account at Dougherty & Co.
I'm most interested in their cost too. Based on my coarse model, battery pack cost is no longer the "lowest hanging fruit" to reduce COGS for Model S and Model X. But I don't know how the other costs can be reduced and at what rate depending on what parameter (production rate seems the obvious one though, based on the Learning Curve theory).If we had a really good model, then you could do reasonable best-case, middle case, worst case analyses. Or just monte carlo simulations. If nothing else it would help a long sleep at night. I have my own simple models but some of the problems I could never solve it sounds like she did, like the cost of the materials. And that spreadsheet presumably reflects a few *years* of polishing from the after-the-call meetings.

Indeed. That's not straightfoward to research.Or just monte carlo simulations. If nothing else it would help a long sleep at night. I have my own simple models but some of the problems I could never solve it sounds like she did, like the cost of the materials.
