Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[Fallenone]

Factory output = volume x density x velocity

Volumetrically - it's crazy low, 2-3% - lots of room for improvement
Velocity - Fast car production is .2m/second = a tortoise! Cars should be able to exit at walking speed!
Density - Ability to improve from 2%-3% to 20%-30%.

I don't quite understand the velocity part. How making a car in 25 sec is relevant to .2m/sec? The manufacturing line is much longer than 5 meters.

That's how fast the car is moving down the line. Think of a line of cars, bumper to bumper, driving at .44 miles per hour.

Acknowledging all the longstanding employees, inviting them on stage. Classy.

Now comes the clown show portion of the event. Did the vegan seat thing every get solved for that one lady?

 

[Fallenone]

That's how fast the car is moving down the line.

But that would mean the line is only 5 meters. That's not right is it?

The ultimate 3D printer

 

[hockeythug]

Oh dear god. "Shareholder" my ***.

 

[Causalien]

Wow, labor union infiltration. They really are going postal on unionizing tsla

But that would mean the line is only 5 meters. That's not right is it?

It's the velocity of a car down the line assuming a 5 meter long car exiting every 25 seconds. The length of the line doesn't factor into it.

 

[hockeythug]

Finally a good question.

 

[Cattledog]

Superchargers free to date. Going forward - obvious thing is decouple the cost of that from the Model 3. You'll have to purchase that package with the Model 3 if you want it.

Smart move.

 

[hockeythug]

I don't hear them saying they are 100% focused on building more superchargers. Just blaming supercharger "abusers".

Really?

What I heard is that they are encouraging people to charge at home and save time rather than drive to SuperChargers and sit there waiting.

Edited because I was being rude and I wanted to tone it down.

 

[hockeythug]

Oh no, she is back.

 

[Krugerrand]

And the vegans have arrived.

 

[Papafox]

Attack of the vegans again!

 

[madodel]

Well you got your Vegan lady question. ;-)

 

[anticitizen13.7]

Oh no, she is back.

I just started watching the live feed. LOL, but I agree with her.

 

[techmaven]

The vegan question wasn't so bad... the one after is terrible.

"In all the history of Tesla this is the most excited I have been about the future of the company...really fired up about building the machine that builds the machine."

Powerful stuff.
