[sundaymorning]

They're popping up everywhere

Tesla completes another microgrid project with Powerpacks – powering an island in North Carolina

Wow one more revenue stream for Tesla: pay for parking at superchargers.

The official blog post: Improving Supercharger Availability

May have missed this but since it was mentioned here a while back that Steve Wozniak was contemplating ditching his Model S for a Bolt, he did ditch his Model S, but for a new Model S. ;-) Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak bought another Tesla over a Bolt

Nations prepared to move forward with climate goals without US

Nations will move forward on climate goals irrespective of US: Global business group

Will be interesting to see whether it backfires:

Kinda like getting an IBM AT over an apple II or IIc...

i was wondering if this woukd happen too, but tesla can keep jacking up the rates until the price is too high

Maybe making the fine increase as a function time passed in an exponential way( with some cap) would deter the "fee" thinking.

That was my first thought too. They did set the price high enough that it should be motivating but if this doesn't work when you remove the system you don't get the social motivation back. Darn you Israeli preschool parents.

Also good, and given that Tesla knows which vehicle is parked they could make the rate of fee charged higher the more often that vehicle is abusing charging spaces. That way it will adjust to each individuals relative income and personal cost/benefit scenario to deter the wealthier owners if their habits don't change from the lower fee.

NOTE: the article is from September, 1999, so this behavior is indicative of a 20 year old mindset, with a small subset of people.
Any other confirmatory studies with differing sanctions to see what better works?

Elon's tweeting again... Hopefully thats an indication on a good delivery number

I would rather have him sleep around 5am on Saturday. Unlikely that he got up that early, he most likely was up through the night.

C'mon Elon, we need an advent of sustainable leadership!

He's added tunnels to his Twitter resume. Is this a hint at a new thing? Super cheap drilling tech for geothermal?

He's already talked about tunnels on Mars, presumably he wasn't planning on waiting to develop the technology there.

It's hard to beat that:
In the state of Georgia "nearly a million prisoners are now making office furniture, working in call centers, fabricating body armor, taking hotel reservations, working in slaughterhouses, or manufacturing textiles, shoes, and clothing, while getting paid somewhere between 93 cents and $4.73 per day,"

As a person who lives in Georgia, this makes me sick. I would like to know where this information came from please.

Or yah know he is board and stuck in traffic. Better solution then my truckasaurus crush traffic with my fire breathing mech solution.

Has anyone looked into the impact the strengthening dollar is likely to have on ASPs and margins?

There are a lot of positives this quarter but my napkin math suggests the Trump Bump's significant effect on the dollar since the election has the potential to shave a point or two points off margins (and similar impact on ASPs). I am aware of Tesla's hedge on the yen but not other currencies, but maybe I missed something.

Even with this I still expect them to hit margin guidance given all the other positives this quarter, but maybe not a huge beat on margins which seemed like a real possibility without the currency issues.

Why does this make you sick? They are learning valuable vocational skills that could translate to jobs in the real world once they've finished sobering up and paying back their debt to society and restitution to the victims of their crimes with the money they are earning. Would you prefer they sit around in jail cells and lift weights in the yard?

As much as I think a Hyperlooped tunnel system would be a magnificent solution to many many problems, I fear a mere multibillionaire couldn't raise what it would take. There might be three or four countries in the world solvent enough to pull that off.
