Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[pz1975]

Little blurb on CBC National News in Canada (most popular news show all across the country). About 1 minute long and superficial but showed long line-up in Vancouver. Good free publicity.

Even more countries in the list, including Russia. I don't think that was mentioned in the Tweet earlier. Also UAE, Turkey, Iceland, Malta, and seemingly all Eastern European countries - i think some didn't have a Tesla presence before?

Update: China is missing from the list! I guess somebody at Tesla made a mistake...

You need to go to tesla.cn to reserve one in China. That's why it's not listed because you can't reserve one at tesla.com. Sadly that site can't handle the traffic and is down now.

Reserved one, card charged within one minute, no email confirmation yet

My father just reserved two.

Well I wonder if this will finally settle the "demand problem" headlines?

 

[neroden]

Reserved

You'll have to show it to me when you get it. (I decided I don't need a second car.)

You apparently haven't hung around Seeking Alpha stock site very much. The bears there are living in such a deep river of "De Nile" that if 2 million reservations are made they would claim they are all fake. Bears there are already reporting that Tesla reps are sitting around taking selfies and twiddling their thumbs at a site where people were in line with 300 others.

When I just checked, tesla.cn just gave me the same English page as tesla.com. There is a possible reason why they might have missed out China by mistake: Japan is the only country name entered in non-English form and someone who is not familiar with Chinese or Japanese may not realize that China is missing - i.e. they might think that the Japanese characters are Chinese.

No. Their arguments will be......TM will never be able to deliver that many cars because the GF is just a shell with no batteries being made and Fremont is not capable of producing that many vehicles and even if it could we won't see the first one till 2020.......Those will be the arguments...get ready...in 3...2...1...Santos time

I just managed to log in the .cn site too. Looks like they did a crappy job, basically copied everything from the .com. Can't place a reservation easily there.

Japan is written as 日本 in both Chinese and Japaneses. There's a lot of characters in Japaneses borrowed from Chinese characters ages ago and still being used.

When I reserved at Short Hills NJ today, I told them I already had an X. They told me that didn't matter for entering the information there. I should have asked if Tesla was going to assign owners to a different queue if we ordered in the store or are we supposed to order via MyTesla, but the whole process was rushed and I just thought of this now. Has anyone seen a reservation for a Model 3 appear in their MyTesla yet? Do I need to order online to get in the owners queue?

Yes, happy to say my MyTesla page has my model 3 reservation number! I reserved in store this morning by the way and not a prior S/X owner.

More good news, China's manufacturing is showing expansion and above estimates:

China's PMI data show recovery in manufacturing

Congrats to all who have been here a while, and waited patiently for this day. Best of luck to your vehicle and your portfolio!

I bet Elon wanted to make sure we start on time. I will be surprised if it's delayed more than 10 minutes.

 

[hershey101]

T-1 min till blast off!!!!

 

[sundaymorning]

In a twist of irony, Elon is about to break the Internet.

 

[neroden]

Officially late now!

 

[InTheShadows]

They need a timekeeper from spacex to come to tesla.

Does anyone know someone who went to the event that can give an update on what is happening there? At the X event I think there were 2-3 people live streaming the event?

 

[neroden]

It's live!
