This is a given. The 30GWh of production that they seem to be targeting for the factory will not be enough to supply the 700,000 cars they plan to build in 2019. The Giga-Factory will be the first of many.

Very much agreed. Got stuck in a work meeting and was unable to listen in. Was great to be able to read it all here. Really looking forward to the gigafactory call next week!

DG: China charging. What's your view? People are mostly charging at home in the US. Is that viable for the Chinese consumer living in an apartment.
Elon: We've got some good solutions. WE'll talk more about that in the coming months.
= solution for city dweller/condo/apartment in all world markets = last barrier to wide acceptance of the technology.
+ supercharger build out + Model X domination of SUV market + gen 3 + solar battery storage solution......
OMG! just astounding!

hank you so much. For me the call was not easy to understand (English not my mother tongue), reading much easier.

Gigafactory: OK, where is a highly windy location in the portion of the US that gets great solar insolation?
I've been thinking they will go to New Mexico to make good on dissing them by choosing to buy NUMMI after having a deal already set up for a factory in New Mexico. Plenty of sun there, and there and the Texas panhandle (just across the border from New Mexico) has some of the highest quality wind production in the world.

Yes. They will have to do that as a part of their capital raise.

Awesome work by callmesam btw.

Yes. That said, they'll have to be careful about how much storage they divert, because their continuing ramp up of car production will largely be constrained by battery supplies for at least the next decade.

yep- agreed; definitely going to be a (nice-to-have)challenge;
btw- great to see you around again; when you get over-exoticized come back more often!
Unless there are pri ary resource constrajnts, I'd expect Gen 3 success to allow for veeerrrryyyy rapid exoansion.
There are likely very good production/demand fits with a giga battery facility coming online in say 2018. The plant output can immediately be taken up by say 60%storage/40%auto and then as Model S batteries start retiring, they can feed into the then established market for stationary applications. Eventually, the retired transport batteries fill most of the need for storage. The strategy gives me the biggest Tesla grin yet! This is an outstanding future for our battery paks. Electric utility peak shaving and deferring or eliminating combustion generation resources. FUDsters and NAYsayers will continue to do what they do. The facts will speak for themselves.

Beat me to it. Yep. That guy. $700k down the toilet. That was one hell of a stupid bet.

Anyone see the Bloomberg interview with Elon? Can you give a summary?
On Stocktwits they are reporting it as very positive, but I'd prefer to hear the opinions from those on this forum.
