Tesla increases the price of Powerwall again - Electrek

TL; DR:
In Electrek's words: "Tesla Powerwall Demand is Crazy"

"With the demand outpacing production for a long time, Tesla has been increasing price of the Powerwall.

In October, Tesla increased the price of the Powerwall from $6,500 to $7,000.

Now Tesla is again increasing the price of the Powerwall by $500

The automaker updated its online configurator yesterday and now the price of the home battery pack is $7,500 (hat tip to Risshiraj):"



It looks like Tesla is taking advantage of the demand to improve its gross margin on the Powerwall.





"I can’t blame damn (I think he meant to say "them") – especially if they are using that money to increase production."​

So you would think they will to up powerwalls production to max now that 4680 are going into s/x refresh.. so perhaps this is not happening.

Tesla’s Dominance Could Be Under Threat Sooner Than You Think

Tesla also continues to be dogged by quality control issues, something I flagged back in June but has long been the most serious skeleton in the company’s closet. If you frequent Tesla owner groups on social media, you will see this subject come up time and again. It is perhaps the single biggest disincentive from buying Tesla cars.

And right on que, here’s the next important news topic to discuss how it will impact TSLA. /s

Jamie Lynn Spears blames Elon Musk and Tesla for killing her cats - CNN

Ok, first of all — why are your cats loose?! Irresponsible cat owner. She doesn’t deserve having any.

Ok, first of all — why are your cats loose?! Irresponsible cat owner. She doesn’t deserve having any.

In the article, she hasn't run over just one cat. She's done it twice.

The SPCA should find a way to prevent her from having pets at all.

Fsd 10 finally out. According to Elon FSD Beta 11 might be the public release version.

No new information though. Nothing to report

Norway's in Europe, but not in the EU, I suspect that's the differentiator.

If I try and buy shares in any of the ARK funds, I get the message: "Your order cannot be placed. It is not possible to buy any instrument for which the issuer has not provided the legally required Key Information Document (KID)"

So I would suspect this is an EU requirement that hasn't been fulfilled. Whether this is possible to be done and ARK just have bothered, I don't know.

Its because of an eu regulation. It’s expected that Norway implement it this year, and Nordnet have said that they will inform when they have to remove it.

It just amazes me how these "celebrities" get so much air time to slough off responsibility?! She drove over her own cat, because she didn't check the rear-view camera, or didn't check under her car tires before driving. Let's not give that rag anymore clicks please.

Intruiging time capsule:

If he had just invested in TSLA...

I know that consumer protection laws are basically non-existing in the capitalist USA - but is there no limit to the amount of falsehoods that one company can provide to their customers about the products of a competitor?

Edit: To be clear, my 2021/22 range is $600-1200

Well it is a more narrow range than good old AJ used to use.
But come on man 600-1200...you can do better than that.

I'm saying 2021-22 is 1200-2000 ...so there!

Latest FSD release seems greatly improved:

Wide release next beta seems very plausible.
