Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

[AlMc]

Not sure why anyone would be disappointed about the X being able to tow the amount they said it would be able to tow (class 3, minimum 5000lbs)

I know we are off topic here with *towing* in the ST thread but I will keep this going: sorry: The only disappointment I personally have comes from Mr. Chen's comment about class 3 towing ability
( 5K) but added that it could tow *close to* 10K at a presentation he was giving. http://gas2.org/2015/06/22/tesla-model-x-towing-capacity-close-to-10000-pounds/

Moderator's Note

Let's agree that we're done talking towing, please. There's a thorough discussion of the MX towing over HERE.

Wow, haven't checked back in here a while but it seems that the bearish market has gotten the best of Tesla analysts... used to be a class favorite but now several are staying on the sidelines https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/tsla

Additionally, I think this says Tesla just signed an agreement with 2 Chinese suppliers. Can anyone clarify what this says?

They had me at "Tesla steam car company"...

It literally means "Tesla Car company" (Tesla Motors). Not sure why your translation says steam car company.

The part that's unclear to me is who signed an agreement with who, and what the correct name of the companies involved are.

Monthly reservations for Model X picking up speed ahead of first deliveries later this month.
This August was the best month ever for Model X reservations.
Now there are almost 27000 net reservations for Model X (link).

BTW thank's to Paul Carter (link to TMC thread)!

This August was the best month ever for Model X reservations.

Unfortunately, the spike is because the first new Chinese data point came in since Nov 2014. This means all Chinese orders for the 9 month period Nov14 - Aug15 are accounted for in the single month of Aug15. X reservations are still very robust though, but likely slightly off their July peak. I think we can expect a huge bump once the first delivery stories surface early next month.

Thank's for pointing that out, did not catch that.

Vegan car shoppers struggle to steer clear of leather in an industry that loves luxury - Winnipeg Free Press

A year later, the couple decided to order another Tesla, but the premium package they wanted, with perks like trunk lights and a power lift gate, required them to get a leather-wrapped dashboard. This time, Tesla wouldn't budge, so they got a stripped-down, leather-free version, but weren't happy and traded it in. It wasn't until after Tesla's annual meeting in June that the company relented and let them purchase a premium, leather-free Model S.

The Peterses remain hopeful that Tesla will switch to completely leather-free interiors, a move that could have ripple effects across the industry.

We hope this is informative enough to get you thinking about converting your home and cars to green. The technology available to us was expensive. But we believe our decision will eventually pay for itself. You will not have to pay nearly as much, so your time committed to a green plan should be shorter. Tesla is a great car, everybody likes the performance and the style. It is the car of the future. In aboutthree years, an affordable model will be available.

Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) opened the Model X design studio for its signature pre-order holders last week, and revealed some of the key attributes of its first-ever sport utility vehicle (SUV), scheduled for delivery later this month.

Apart from the hefty price tag of $132,000 (without incentives and credits), some of the consumers weren’t convinced with the acceleration of the falcon-wing doors vehicle, ignoring the fact that the vehicle is an SUV, not a sedan.

People who thought the Model X’s acceleration isn't up to the mark probably didn’t know how amazing the vehicle’s acceleration is. While Model X P90D accelerates zero to 60 miles per hours (mph) in 3.8 seconds, Model X P90D with Ludicrous mode can do the same in 3.2 seconds, which is equal to the Insane mode of Tesla Model S P85D. According to a post on Tesla Motors Club, Model X is the fastest SUV in the history.

I think that it is probably Reuters brief about Tesla Signing contract with Shanghai Yongli Belting on product development. I am having hard time with the translator, anybody fluent in Mandarin is willing to post a summary?
