We've seen reports that, at least in some cases, the ship delivers some cars to Zeebrugge, then sails on to Oslo. In that case, it could deliver 3K to Zeebrugge and still leave San Francisco with a full ship. Cheers!
Nice catch! And who thought in September of 2018 that LI battery cost was at the $300/kWh. There was somebody that did not do their fact checking.
Actually, I long admired the look of the Comet with its smooth integration of the engines into the body of the aircraft and the elegant swoop of the body of the Constellation as it narrowed toward the tail. At the end of the class Shank concluded with a summary of concerns we should have about flying which augmented my own fears with such travel on a PTSD flight from New York to Logan Airport. (One warning was a nearly two to one drop in pressure between the cabin and outside. Another was cycling at high speed of the thin aluminum fuselage.) I was studying for an exam for the class during the flight. We entered through the clouds when the pilot of the DC7 noted we were oriented 30 degrees or more off from the orientation of the runway and we passengers could see it. I don't recall but I thought at the time Shank concluded by saying, "I don't fly." That probably isn't correct. I was amazed my memory of his name was confirmed by a Google find of his obituary. He eventually became an executive with Pratt and Whitney and died at a nice old age of 90, I guess of natural causes.
Hahahahah, incredible! Mr Boudette claims to play two celli? Then why does such a virtuoso not pursue that career instead of writing trash copy for a sadly declining rag? (Probably because it pays better?)
I do because my family knew two survivors of one crash. The husband was a physicist. The pilot was a real hero, controlling the craft with the engines for a not so safe landing and then going back into the fiery crash to perish while attempting rescue of more passengers. A real mensch.
My research tells me that Broder is not Boudette’s boss. Broder has no interaction with or editorial oversight over Boudette. There’s no connection that I can find.
Even if the outcome is that Musk is not found in contempt and the judge rules the SEC interpretation of "everything concerning Tesla needs pre-approval" is an incorrect interpretation, I expect the SEC to quickly file a new contempt case based on these tweets: Elon Musk on Twitter They will provide an expert declaration that they were material because the market did in fact move as a result. It's still ridiculous and Musk will have to argue that they couldn't reasonably have been expected to be material even though perhaps they were. So the circus will go on. It will not stop until the court does an actual hard smack-down on the SEC and find that they are acting in bad faith because they are acting in bad faith.
If you follow Boudette's posts on Twitter for long enough, it becomes more than clear that he's a full-fledged member of the TSLAQ, cult in all but personal investments. And that latter aspect is something I'm assuming only to give him the benefit of the doubt.
It’s fun to imagine this but I seriously doubt this is the reason for the negative articles. Hiltzik and Mitchell are grizzled old journalists who I think just hate Tesla on their own, and aren’t trashing Tesla under orders of their billionaire boss. But I’m gonna find out.
So I am wondering about the change in Tesla service in moving away from scheduled service to "as needed". The obvious thing is a reduction in service events which frees up facilities. My memory may be a bit poor but I thought that CE certification or other device regulations required certain comments about service in owner's manuals. Perhaps it is as simple as _publishing_ recommended service or calibrations schedules required to meet operating performance claims. I am wondering if this change in service is related to the situation in Texas? Could this change be a defensive move deflating some pending challenge from increasingly vulnerable franchise dealers in Texas?
I suspect there are different development methodologies (and perhaps groups) for the infotainment and real-time drive unit control. The former is a less rigorous application than the latter. The drive unit software (the inverter controller is the drive unit brains, for the most part) is rock-solid. As a matter of fact, it will happily continue driving the care while you reboot the MCU...
Something to think about concerning the SEC re: timing. So far I've been operating on the assumption that nothing definitive can happen before the 26th, because Musk's lawyers have until then to request an evidentiary hearing - and even after that point, you're not going to get an instantaneous ruling. However, there's one seriously market moving event that could occur before that point: the SEC could move to withdraw its case. No? If the SEC decides that it thinks it's going to lose, could they not file at any point in time withdraw the case, in order to avoid a negative ruling that could adversely impact future attempts to bring action? If so, the market would rally immediately - regardless of what process steps may occur beyond that move.
The tweets you linked were from 2 days after the SEC asked for the contempt finding. There’s no info at all as to whether those were cleared by the legal counsel. SEC’s claims about not having any tweets preapproved was about those before Feb. 25
The settlement does not prohibit tweeting of material information; it only requires that such tweets be reviewed prior to transmission. Why would you assume the above were not reviewed? Companies - including Tesla - are allowed to disclose material information. If they disclose during market hours and the information is seen as sufficiently “big” then they’re supposed to give a heads up so that trading can be halted. What they can not do is disclose material information that is false. The thing with which the SEC took umbrage was that there was an open question as to the legitimacy of “funding secured”. The solution was to impose a form of fact checking on information that could be reasonably assumed to be material to avoid another “funding secured”. As asinine as it must be, I’m sure Elon ran past his counsel: “hey guys, going to tweet about our upcoming 35k model 3 reveal. That cool?” They said yes and we’ve moved on.
Well... They still have scheduled maintenance. All Teslas supposedly now need their brake calipers cleaned annually in cold climates. I wish I knew the reason for their choice of interval. It makes sense if you aren't otherwise changing your pads but why not every other year? On the plus side there isn't anything that can't be done by a 3rd party.
Thanks. Maybe I should have said his senior, then? ISTR that Broder was made senior editor in spite of his "credentials". But I don't read NYT.
I think the market would prefer a durable resolution rather than continued uncertainty. I think both sides would prefer that. But the market is the market so????
WAG here: Maybe the cold climate roads are more frequently salted and that could clog up the calipers, necessitating regular service? Just a guess, mind you. And generally speaking.
