Anyone else do a solo round of applause after reading that?

I will when it happens.

Hehehe. According to that article shares jumped 7%. The bears and shorters the last couple of days have been declaring doom and gloom , and the collapse of the Tesla stock due to the upcoming bad news from the shareholder's news. Once again, the art of being completely and utterly wrong.

 

[inspron]

So from ~50,000/yr now to 500,000/yr in just 2 years? Incredible.

On the call, Musk has stated his goal is "at least 100,000 model 3's by late next year" (2017).

Tax credit, here I come!

Amazing man. Any other company I would doubt these lofty goals. But time and time again Musk has done the impossible.

It's incredible to see that he didn't just aim for a cheap Model, it looks like it will be a full featured mini S. Wow. Just wow.

What can you do -- if your boss tells you that you have to bash Tesla, you have to bash Tesla; if you are convinced the world is cooling and EVs are golf carts, you keep shorting TSLA.

WOW! I am stoked man! I keep saying my M3 won't be here till 2018 and maybe even late '18. Now, it may even be 2017! Awesome news but I fear rushing the car onto the market will cause all sorts of problems and bugs not fixed

I wish there was some kind of minute by minute news feed with regards to production, the gigafactory, etc. There will probably never be because of investors, etc. I just want more updates all the time for the next two years.

 

[ttupper92618]

Hah - classic Musk: He says his desk is at the end of the production line, and he has a sleeping bag nearby that he uses often.

Probably counts the number of cars coming off, too.

Gotta love a 14% bump after hours: Here's Why Tesla (TSLA) Stock is Soaring in After-Hours Trading

UBS may still swallow my left nad and their $140 price target (see their doom and gloom bs from yesterday).

I'm seeing images of the movie Gung Ho in my mind...

 

[Dan Detweiler]

Well crap...looks like I have to sell the TR6 sooner than I thought.

Great news!!!!

And this is different from now how? . I kid, I kid. Glad to see the one VP taking a well-deserved LOA after getting all things X-ish in order after a challenging launch. I interpret that as a positive sign,

Note that the freakin' WSJ headline negativity continues: "... Loss widens". I swear - if they want to give the impression that their entire editorial staff has shorted TSLA, then, well, they have certainly succeeded.

 

[SageBrush]

It cannot be coincidence that two senior productions executives left Tesla

 

[ModelNforNerd]

...and now THIS tidbit....

Tesla sets July 1st 2017 as deadline for Model 3 parts with suppliers and internally

Isn't that an old article (note 02/10/2016 date)?

If tesla manage to pull this off it's incredibly good news to me!

I have not made a reservation as I preferred to see the final product/price plus my 1000 was better invested elsewhere.
I had feared this might mean i would not recieve my M3 untill 2020 at the earliest but looks as though tesla will burn through reservations by 2019/2020 either way.

Needless to say im very happy right now
