side note: Tesla "drying room" is a closed loop. Gigafactory captures gases and recycles chemicals. Not sure which chemicals are used, but they are re-cycled. Seems Jack indicates everyone must be doing re-capture. Hopefully true.
thanks @gilscales a great video by the way.

Based on the latest Tesla filing, it looks to me like the Maxwell acquisition has hit at least a speed bump. Tesla has extended the deadline by two weeks and stated by only 4m shares out of about 46m have been tendered, meaning, I think, that the shareholders are not voting for this take over. I think that either Tesla needs to pay more for Maxwell, or this acquisition is dead.

Not an expert here, but MXWL share prices are still trading +50% from when the announcement was made. It's only retracted a very small amount in recent days, so the acquisition remains priced in, or at least investors remain enthusiastic. It is still below the previous year's highs but well off the lows, too... it's been volatile.
Meanwhile, TSLA shares are down roughly 10% since the announcement due to a rout of unrelated FUD regarding the company and a disappointing (to analysts) model Y reveal. TSLA is rebounding off of low resistance and I suspect TSLA is going to need to show further strength in the coming weeks before more MXWL shares are tendered.
