I think last year it was within a week of year end, so any day now,
Don't think they need to issue any new shares to do that now, with the $10B in the last 2 raises, the $5B they had already and the likely $5+B in free cash flow they will be generating this quarter they have more cash than they can spend without starting a couple more factories or acquiring some big companies.
I bet the choke point is actually building the Charger hardware and having the physical install done.
Having said that, you're absolutely right. They need to seriously ramp up installations as fast as they possibly can.
As much as I feel for the big cities that really need their extra ones, if they want wide adoption as stated, they need to put a 125 km matrix on every highway in North America and seriously focus on the blank spots between locations.
One thing that knaws at me is that they seem determined to install 8 at almost all the locations, where what they could do much faster if the supply of equipment is a limitation, is build out conduits and concrete for 8 and install just 2 or 4 and double or quadruple the stop locations. Go back and fill them in when there is an ample supply of equipment.
When I was in the service center in QC in September, they showed me a map that included locations that weren't and still aren't on the official map, so the plan is beyond what's updated on the map.
Wish I'd snapped a picture!
