Also, just a basic question here, but wasn't TSLA being shorted like crazy on Friday? The volume never really dipped below 50,000/5 minute period during the trading session. It even opened with 1,000,000 - that's unheard of for TSLA. When they (shorts) get calls from their brokers, won't that drive the price up? Plus why haven't analysts upgraded yet - are they waiting to see if Tesla can deliver on manufacturing 250,000+ units in a timely fashion?
Elon promised to tweet 3 day total tonight but didn't!

No. I heard after as well.The 10m reservations this April is just overly delusional. That's 333k reservations per day in average.
Bolt is $37,500 before rebates.
They won't release it in the morning.I'd rather see the stock go up on Monday (tomorrow) without the Q1 numbers. then after the close or Tuesday morning, release the Q1 numbers

Yes Johan, that is indeed the simple answer in its most digestible form. Most understandable to most of humanity.
I would say that Musk has a habit of telling the public, Tesla shareholders, and Tesla car owners, only what they need to know when they need to know it. If he would get carried away by explaining too much too soon of his plans, he would quickly become a laughing stock in the capital markets (like I am in this thread) so thwarting his goals whenever he needs to raise.
Edit] So we have Musks well known statements of overarching goals...but expanding so far so fast is still a risk isn't it? (stumble in China etc). So normally, we only take big risks when the pay off is really big. Please tell me what is the huge pay off...is it just to carry on with 50% yoy growth, or something much much faster by way of growth?
If we get good enough Q1 deliveries, I will then comment very clearly why that might not be delusional at all and just for the record today, I will say 5m minimum and 20m maximum. Of course, 20m reservations isn't just pulling the rug out from beneath the ICE OEMs, it is totally removing the floor that supports them for the next 10 years. Musk is swinging for the fences and it delights me to see it.
Millions of reservations? That's not happening... Musk even said they didn't expect 200k before part 2 of the Model 3 unveil. But honestly look at his tweets and the numbers, the reservations per hour have gone down drastically. 20m in the next two decades? Maybe... But even that is 1m/year and their Fremont factory (if FULLY SCALED) can *only* produce 550,000 cars (TOTAL, not just M3)/year.If we get good enough Q1 deliveries, I will then comment very clearly why that might not be delusional at all and just for the record today, I will say 5m minimum and 20m maximum.

Well then other sources are getting it wrong. Thanks for clarifying.

Well yeah... Honestly though, DigitalTrends isn't always the most reputable. I've seen them get things wrong before too.Of course they're getting it wrong. Nothing new there. Rule #1: Don't believe everything you read just because it's on the Internet.
The running total counter probably broke. Or he got sidetracked trying to figure out the best way for Tesla to double Model 3 production in the original time frame.

You're talking, instead of listening.
The goal of the master plan can not be achieved by taking baby steps. We don't have that kind of time. We don't have that kind of time! The huge payoff is that humans get to live on this planet for many more millennia.
Yes, OF COURSE there's a risk in expanding too quickly. The stumble in China had nothing to do with Tesla taking a too big step, it had to do with a small group of dickheads trying to game the system instead of doing the right thing.
And if you think Elon gives a crap about becoming 'a laughing stock', you haven't been paying attention. He's already been laughed at, and he's been berated by people he's highly respected. And look where he is now. I'd say he's in a pretty good position to laugh right back at them.
These companies make engines, transmissions and chassis components and assemble them together with fuel tanks and exhaust pipes. Electronics and a lot of other stuff is outsourced. What does the management mainly comprised of aging ICE engineers do when ICE and transmission line workers and the engine development R&D department gets wind that the management is contemplating abandoning the work for which they have trained and qualified to start focusing on EVs - and respond with threats of union strike action? I would guess that would be a factor to consider.
Can you please start to post what you actually think (expected value based on facts and predictions based on those facts) and not what will give you the most negative or positive attention.
