Super Trooper classic clip. I was thinking of a Tropic Thunder clip.

What, that a particular presenter at the Robin Hood conference went "full retard?"

Not defending that guy, but you can also find videos where the care does it (without the radar looking below stuff) like here @46m33s

I'm not sure what I'm missing here. The video of yours looked to me like a "standard" AEB situation. The breaking lights were on, the car in front slowed visibly, the guy kept talking (but didn't break), the car in front got even slower and finally the AEB kicked in. There was no need to see "two cars ahead". This is fundamentally different from the Tesla video.
It is quite clear, that AEB systems exist. And some of them work (happy to post a few funny videos where they test them and they don't work) but I have yet to see a real life "two cars ahead" AEB video aside from that Tesla video just now.
EDIT: If your point was to confirm that AEB on a 2016 Mercedes works - all is good - let's move right along. I'm not disputing that
If your point was, that Mercedes has AEB that looks "two cars ahead and works well" then I need further convincing...

I have had firsthand experience with AEB on a new 2016 mercedes, works well. I have also had an episode of 'red car alert' and braking with tesla, this was from two cars ahead. How did i know- the car directly in front kept moving but eventually braked. Thankfully there was no accident.
Seeing two cars ahead is great, have to experience it firsthand to understand-- file this one under: not rocket science.

Fixed that for whoever posted the original. ;-)
Well, there is a serious lack of cheerleading on this board.
YAY 219!!! Above the 200MA, first time since August!
I am officially financially ahead of when I correctly guessed the Q3 would be a knockout and somehow lost money on it.

Of course a cartoon is the same thing as real life. The Road Runner and Coyote taught me that...
He posts more incessantly on 'bad' days. Someone give him a highchair so he can bang his fists on it.
Frankly, I wish more people trolled him.
Am I doing this correctly? Also, I assume this shouldn't be a direct extrapolation.
But with 35,389,874 shares held short, a little under 161mm shares in circulation, the share price is being depressed by a little over $48 per share. Is this right?

I believe that this surge is partially due to the market figuring out that the Q3 were not smoke and mirrors. If that's correct it means that a good Q4 is partially being priced in, but also a reason that confirmation via good delivery numbers and a good Q4 ER-CC should cause a substantial SP bump.Well, there is a serious lack of cheerleading on this board.

I am officially financially ahead of when I correctly guessed the Q3 would be a knockout and somehow lost money on it.Me too! I'm already up 75% on a small number of Jan06 2017 $220 calls that I bought for the q4 numbers and the GF event
I also think that it's partially due to the market figuring out that SCTY isn't likely to be a short-term financial black hole for Tesla. If that's correct that provides another way that confirmation via a good Q4 ER-CC should cause a substantial SP bump.
This means that I think that a repeat of the combination of an SP dip and a positive quarter is highly unlikely.

The mechanics of short and how it translates into a dollar amount would be difficult to predict. It's kind of like a compressed spring. You don't know how much stored energy the spring has till it pops. Lets start with the facts. You start with shares outstanding @ 161,088,699 of with 35,389,874 have been borrowed, then resold on the open market. So now we have effectively have 196,478,573 owned in brokerage accounts. Tesla float (number of shares actually available for trading) is around 117.9M shares. Now if the stock starts to climb and we have 40% of the float shorted it can cause a big imbalance between the demand and availability of shares causing the stock price to potentially go exponential. The classic short squeeze is a hugh spike in price where it can double, triple in the matter of weeks or months then after shorts covering is exhausted you would normally would see a substantial pull back of 1/3 or more before the stock settles down.
Right now we are just seeing a mild embrace where the shorts are feeling some pressure. For the full potential energy to be released we would have to see Tesla approach then breaking all time highs which is distinct possibility in the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2017. Then you will get to see the real fireworks of a true short squeeze which for Tesla is more then $48 per share in my opinion.

I don't think that's an economically valid calculation. If nothing else changed, and all the shorts just chose to cover over a long period (say a month or two), I don't think that would drive the stock price up that far. On the other hand, if they all had to cover in a hurry, the increase could easily be much greater.

So we might be able to get a ballpark idea of the severity of the current situation by the numbers next week?
When they hit their goal of 50/50 MS-MX we'll know that they've finally nailed it.

YAY! Hey, me too! I seriously thought I would have to wait until January to say that.
The best part was I got to load up on 2019 LEAPs below $200. Thanks shorts/weak longs!
Me too, up by 20% finally. Still holding strong Jan 2018 calls 100%. Where is Trendtrader? I hope you still holding your calls.Well, there is a serious lack of cheerleading on this board.
