so how many i3 and i8 will consume 35gwh?
where is samsung's bev, how many bev did it sell this year? show me!!!
stupid lol

My thought on this is that Model S converted more than just BMW 5-series and Mercedes S-class buyers. From browsing the Model S forum here over the years, I noted that many buyers did stretch to get a Model S even if their previous rides were on the level of a Honda Accord. Also, consider that the CR-V is not exactly an inexpensive vehicle. The most common mid-level EX AWD trim already has an MSRP of just over 27k, and the top level Touring AWD has an MSRP of 33k. Add in fuel costs, and a Model Y at 40k starts to look a lot more competitive.
On paper, the Model "Y" competes against luxury cars in the same class, but my guess is that in real world sales, it is going to exert pressure on mainstream purchases too. Similarly, I expect Model 3 to convert some former Accord and Camry buyers.
I couldn't go back to find Electricity's post about batteries not being a big deal later on.... but just wanted to state that batteries will be the most important factor. The architecture of the Tesla battery pack is completely different from what any EV or EV-Gas car has now.
What makes the pack (beyond the cells obviously) so exceptional? We've all seen the breakdown and subsequent rebuild by fellow board member wk57. That's just to the tip of the iceberg of a cottage industry of small time amateurs who are building packs with various degrees of succes. Tesla's mass produced packs are nifty but not groundbreakingly exceptional from a technical POV. It's literally not rocket science. Simple electronics to control bleeding, well understood cooling mechanism and a straightforward structural assembly. Maybe I am overlooking something here?
First of all the cells and their energy density and cost that won't go without repeating. Secondly the deep research that enables the board to genuinely understand the nature of the chemistry it is managing, which matters a lot to things like non-destructive supercharging and regen braking profiles. Then there is the management competence and guts to first build it and then trust the engineering of a massive high energy density battery system and know it will go ok without ending your company in law suits for loss of life in RUD events or in warranty costs.

If we remove everything that hasn't to do with the pack technology there doesn't remain a lot of substance though.
Apple. They receive 90% of profits in the smartphone market.
1. Intel (microprocessors)
2. Microsoft (operating systems)
3. Google (search and organizing the world's data)
4. Apple (personal computers)
5. Dupont (pretty much every chemical that is needed to make plastics)
6. Corning (the glass on pretty much everything, including that smart phone you are probably viewing this on)
7. Etc etc etc.
Speaking of which, TSLA should work with Corning to solve the windshield production issue. From my experience working with Corning Scientists on production inspection, they are very competent.

As long as the Model 3 is the success that Tesla thinks it will be they will definitely open up a second battery gigafactory. It's been mentioned more than once by Elon and J.B.

I think next year we may see Tesla get more capital and accelerate/enlarge the current gigafactory. Ron Baron's leading question about how big Tesla can be seemed to be supporting Musk in his current effort to project Tesla's future value.

I agree, the pack is elegantly simple. The companies that has good cell and pack design that allows a great deal of automation in construction should have an advantage. I have no idea if Tesla's cells are a better choice than LG's prismatic cells.
I haven't yet figured out why Tesla won this award but it will be interesting to eventually understand it. Can't hurt!

Am I the only one who finds the price of TSLA oddly flat since the ER? It feels like it is being manipulated to stay in a narrow range, and then on Monday it will gap up or down.
When do 2018 LEAPs come out? and who decides when they should come out? Curious because SCTY 2018 LEAPs are already out there but not for TSLA.
TSLA is on Option cycle 3 or MJSD - March, June, September and December. So the LEAPS will come out Monday, November 16th.
When are the exchanges going to list 2018 LEAPS®?
2018 LEAPS will be rolled out over a three month period.
Cycle 1: Monday, September 14th, 2015: January 2018 LEAPS® listed
Cycle 2: Monday, October 12th, 2015: January 2018 LEAPS® listed
Cycle 3: Monday, November 16th, 2015: January 2018 LEAPS® listed
