Depends on what the discharge curve looks like. Though I doubt it only drops to 445V.

Dang it Dodger,
With maxPain at $555 right now what does an "Unforgettable" ride mean?
So many $1 PUTS
Artful Dodger
"Neko no me"
Yo, that's nothing! On March 26th, Max Pain was $364 (and the SP was $618.71)
Cheers!
Come on MMs. Can you at least let us hit $650?
Private as far as I know. Haven't seen any private equity funds either. If you are into the space check out ABML in the meantime, but I'd love to add Redwood if I could.
At some point the vehicle will only be one pixel and even the best NN won´t be able to turn this into anything helpful..

TSLA lately is like the guy that expresses interest in his female friend and she immediately walks him back to the friend zone

Yeah. You’re putting way too much of your personal speculation into the situation. I’ll just sit over here and take Tesla’s word for it that they did what they did for the reasons they stated and leave it at that. But if I ever want to write an epic tale, I’ll know who to come to for story ideas.
Way OT:
This ticked a brain cell. A fascinating read is the history of Cal Rodger’s first US transcontinental flight in a Wright Model EX in 1911. He made many stops (both scheduled and unscheduled) along the way and his plane was repaired so many times that there was virtually nothing left of the original when he finally made it to California.
Until she finds out that he owns 10k TSLA shares.....

Advertising executive: The best advertising is a TV commercial.
RobStark: Not if potential customers don't watch TV.... Er...wait, strike that. I almost forgot, I'm supposed to be trying to get Tesla to SPEND money on advertising. I mean, how can Ford compete with a $38K Tesla?
This continues to come up, the idea that Tesla needs to advertise, it won't die, it's like the Energizer Bunny. We've taken the batteries out and shown there's nothing there. Yet the Energizer Bunny just keeps going. With no batteries!
Cars are very price sensitive, consumers shop around before they spend the most they've ever spent on anything else (except perhaps a home). They compare prices and what they can get. Who pays for the advertising? The consumer, of course! Elon doesn't treat the consumer like a stupid idiot with money to burn on making advertising executives wealthy, he runs a tight ship. Because he knows consumers like to get the most value for their hard-earned money they can get.
Advertising is for products that don't offer superior value. Tesla's competition would love nothing more for Tesla to spend $1,000/car (the more the better) on advertising. Because they know it will help make their own cars a little more price competitive with Tesla's. And they know it will make Tesla look mortal, begging for customers, more like themselves. It will remove that "not the typical corporation" halo that Tesla enjoys, particularly with the younger generations who are skeptical of the status quo.
The competition doesn't know how to compete with a company that doesn't pay the advertising mafia. They send their hitmen to write negative stories on Tesla, or, better yet, that stubborn man Elon Musk who is making the decision to not force his customers to pay them. They try to make him look like a greedy, tax-dodging billionaire out only for himself and the cars look like cheap jalopies with unflattering styling that fall apart before you get them home. But the stories don't work with enough people, the company still manages to sell every car they make. And the more they sell, the more new people find out about what a wonderful product it is. They see the wonderful craftsmanship, the beautiful lines, the glowing reviews from the owners and they are befuddled. This is not what they expected! They have been deceived! Now they too are "in the know". Now they can tell their friends the stories are not true, the cars are not what you expect, and they know, because just a few months ago they were in a similar spot, deceived by lies, but now they know.
The best advertising is a having a great product at a great price and the testimony of an exponentially growing body of people who have already figured it out. People you know and trust, your niece or nephew, your co-worker or your pastor, not some professional paid to change your mind. Advertising can make more people think you have a great product but it makes the product even more unobtainable. And people love to talk smack about nice things they can't have. Tesla is about bringing the future to the people, not showing them wonderful things they can not have.

If you’re interested in battery recycling, Belgium’s Umicore claims to be a world leader in battery recycling:
Our recycling process
An internationally recognized process By combining a unique pyro-metallurgical treatment and a state-of-the-art hydro-metallurgical process, Umicore is able to recycle all types and all sizes of Li-ion and NiMH batteries in the most sustainable way. The U
When Tesla is going for 2.5-3+m sales per year (random number could be higher, could be lower), they will probably have to advertise especially with how they have to record the sales. Right now, we are just not at a point where Tesla has to do much to move vehicles. Some referrals, maybe some free supercharging, long trial FSD... none of those really cost Tesla all that much. When they actually have to take incentives that have a significant margin hit to move vehicles, then it will make sense to lessen hit that with advertising. Until that point, I'm fine with no advertising.
Now PR... I have swung to the other side there. Wouldn't be huge cost and could really clear up a few things that have significant short term hits. IE the 'no driver' crash.
