TSLA running up from $183 to $185 in short order... I wonder why
Perhaps someone got news that the merger will occur?

Well, can't blame it on shorting, so - somebody knows something...
I was just thinking the same thing - the big boys know the results of the vote (pure speculation on my part).
The market just found out that Jay sold yesterday, marking the bottom of the downtrend.

Seriously, if Tesla tries to give model 3 owners goggles to wear while driving I will short TSLA immediately. I don't think that is happening but I see a lot of conflating "google glass" and "tesla glass" and it is making me nervous.
Earth will be fine once it has shrugged off the humans. In geologic time it won't matter at all. There will just be a layer of plastic in the geologic record to mark our existence.
HUMANS will even survive global warming. There are too many of us and we are very adaptable.
Civilization is what is at risk.
wow.. @CALGARYARSENAL and @Jayjs20 are the same person? Well, everyone should thank @Jayjs20 for taking one for the team
I would add a common definition of Wisdom: the proper use of intelligence. A sign of it: what I've most admired in people, how quickly they can change their minds once new evidence requires it. A lot of these contribute to this thread.

Heard something today that new incentives for low/no-carbon vehicles may be included in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement (i.e. biannual mini budget by the UK's finance minister). He gives this statement, in which fiscal policy for the following year and beyond is laid out, on 23rd November.

I know for myself: I am stubborn and obstinate and will vigorously defend my positions when challenged, right up until the point where you can present me with incontrovertible evidence that my stance is incorrect or otherwise invalid, and then I'll concede quickly.
I always love people that make statements like this. Why do people continue to do this?
Elon understands style and fashion. People thought electric cars had to be slow and ugly, and a compromise on many levels. He proved that didn't have to be true. People thought solar roofs had to be ugly and that Tesla's solar roofing would be something like the hideous shingles Dow produced. Why can't people take him at his word when he said "it looks better than a normal roof", months before the unveil? Elon and Tesla understand user experience is important, and won't compromise it. Needing to put on some kind of goggles to drive your Model 3 would be ridiculous - they won't do it. People say existing HUDs are crappy, low res, and difficult to see with glare and such. I'm confident that they won't include it if they haven't come up with some way to mitigate the common problems with the technology, just as they have with every other technology they've touched.
I expect to be moderated for this.
In Trump’s Washington, rival powers and whispers in the president’s ear
The author does not compare Trump to Roosevelt but if their reporting is accurate, his leadership style is redolent of FDR who actually provoked argument among his cabinet to his great amusement and in the spirit of uncovering new ideas. But his closest alt-FDR was his wife, Eleanor, who could get information from coal miners directly, and constantly tried to steer him leftward. That is not what we can expect from Trump's wife and many are concerned about Bannon, especially the likes of Elizabeth Warren as You Tube shows in her speech sponsored by the Wall Street Journal.
To ad "color" to FDR's dealing with the press: my principal academic advisor claimed he was the Wall Street Journal's White House reporter during the 40s, said FDR made the best Tom Collinses in town. Through more direct scholarly sources, one time Roosevelt wheeled in with a dunce cap he required an offending reporter to wear while in a corner of the room for the entire meeting with the press. And the reporter complied. That's real power when a guy in a wheel chair tells you to do it. That was a different time with different approaches to shielding the president. The press generally respected Roosevelt's wish to avoid photos of his disability.

So, VIN report halfway through the quarter (spoiler: it's really good):
S: approximately 10,000 assigned in Q4 (compare to 7,500 at this time in Q3). Currently in the 174k range.
X: approximately 6,500 assigned in Q4 (compare to 5,100 at this time in Q3). Just passed the 30k number.
Some like to look at VIN assignments as a demand marker and others see it as a tool to measure production - but all I can say is that there's no bad news here. As my previous posts have shown, it appears there has not been any VIN skipping going on either - so these cars (including inventory, I assume) are scheduled to be built and shipped to customers in Q4. Remember, early Q4 production is bound for overseas and we had over 5k cars in transit at the end of quarter, plus a historical practice of delivering more than production in Q4. Could be a good one.

I was actually impressed how at the end he specifically pointed out that the interviewer was trying to lead him down an ad hominem attack on Musk and how he refused to go that way (after talking about how proponents of EM would liken him to Steve Jobs).

To follow up on this, I should mention that the current Chancellor takes climate change seriously and is seen as a strong proponent on action against climate change.

I have to admit that was respectful. I see it as bullish of course!
We've already covered why it's shooting up. You're welcome, by the way.
