Please expound on the reasoning of your end of 18 early 19 expected downturn in the Macro thread. I'd love to hear it as I've been thinking a lot about it recently. I think it could happen that soon for sure, but I think it will surprise and be several years later, and much worse... Would love to hear your thoughts.
C'mon VA, you're not new here. You know that in Tesla time June is at least July, and more likely August.
That does not make any sense. Instead they just ship everything to outside of the US. Enough demand there I am sure. You US folks sometimes forget there is a whole other world out there

In Australia delivery is listed as late May 2018 for both Model S and Model X.
We are a very small market for Tesla's though.

Wait...what? There’s other land beyond the surrounding oceans? And people live there too? Are they like Martians? And they can drive Teslas?! Troll.
That's a good point that can reasonably explain the June timeframe for EU orders. Let's see what happens over the coming weeks. To make it there are two things we should see relatively soon (before Q2) and one thing we shouldn't see : Canadian reservation holders being invited, American S/X deliveries pushed to July but not a quick ramp up to 2500 and later 5000/week.

There is also the matter of China and to a lesser extent S Korea. Where Teslas can be shipped and delivered in Q2 to both make numbers and not cross the 200kth threshold in the USA.

Germany was to until it doubled. I know import duties are an issue in Australia. Maybe something is coming to allow EV imports? Maybe negotiated by Tesla after the benefits of the SA battery? Just groping here for something.

Tesla could do it. But the task is large and risky. A lot has to come together. Order volume outside the US in places they can deliver. Model 3 ramping faster is good for the company but bad for this goal, unless they deliver every Canadian car before US, which almost requires SR Dual motor. It's possible, but a lot has to happen and it's not easy stuff. Tesla cannot have a crappy quarter for deliveries and cannot claim they are gaming the system. So they have to do the nearly impossible and both deliver a ton of cars and not deliver them where it's easiest, but where it's hardest.

Mission was a success. No attempt to land first stage, as planned.

no because it is a older hardware booster that they could only refly once anyway.

But let’s not forget Elon time where June often turns to July.

They were going to try and catch the fairing though. Hope they have a camera drone nearby to catch the image for us!
- elonmuskGoing to try to catch the giant fairing (nosecone) of Falcon 9 as it falls back from space at about eight times the speed of sound. It has onboard thrusters and a guidance system to bring it through the atmosphere intact, then releases a parafoil and our ship, named Mr. Steven, with basically a giant catcher’s mitt welded on, tries to catch it.

Hey, TSLA is up more than 3% on volume above average, DJI only 0.5%, and you are discussing coke cans
C'mon, nobody cares about that sh*T!
meanwhile, an update on that fairing recovery:
