The Economist just posted an article in response to the Morgan Stanley upgrade, praise by reviewers, and the Gigafactory announcement:

"A series of battery fires also briefly dented sales growth last year."
Did the "series" of battery fires make any difference whatsoever to sales growth?

None whatsoever, since they've been production constraint throughout. I believe there was a temporary drop in the rate of reservations.
Major factual error in that per wise reasonable article, quote: "In about three years Tesla will launch the Model E, a small saloon with a range of perhaps 400 miles..."
Oops.
Oops.
perhaps they are guessing the range of a smaller car with an 85kwh battery? I wonder about the range of the model E. Does everyone think it will be less than the M.S.?
Elon has stated multiple times it will be at least 200 miles. I assume that will be with the "base" battery and there will be optional longer range battery sizes.
It's like as if this Detriot-based Economist writer read my comment on the first article because he's written another today:
Tesla's gigafactory: Driving ahead | The Economist
focusing on the Gigafactory and its potential effect on battery pricing. Still he adds more FUD than I think appropriate.

As if selling solar panels to Californians would be analogous to selling refrigerators to Eskimos ...
Maybe split this off to a separate thread, since it's a separate article? I would have missed this one if I didn't come back to this thread!
I wasn't sure how TMC etiquette applies since this felt like a spinoff or follow-up article to me, published only a few days later. I'd be happy to repost.
