@outdoors had his vinyl wrapped. Protects the paint, changes the color, and is fully reversible. Other people get their car dipped, same sort of thing, can peel it off later.

From what I have read on teh Interwebbs, some people buy the cheap color and then take it to some place to do a vinyl wrap. Costs about the same as a fancier paint and can be almost any color, and company profile logo etc. Also serves to protect the original paint for when you sell the car one day. But I have not tried this.

Trump cloud probably not gone: that his own appointee Attorney General "decided" that there wasn't "enough evidence" to indict Donald Trump for obstruction of justice, and the fact that the target of a federal criminal investigation wasn't even interviewed, because he didn't want to, and relied on lawyer authored "written responses" instead of interviewing Trump under oath, is going to haunt Trump all the way to next November...
Criminals avoiding justice for the time being probably won't matter much to TSLA price action though.

This is why I think Elon has embarked of a strategy of under-promise and over-deliver.... It's what everyone, especially shorts, expect the least.
We’ll see. Think we bounce hard tomorrow in general. Trade em well good sir. Tesla has neither denied or requested an evidentiary hearing - hope judge reviews evidence and makes a decision tomorrow.

Briefs on evidentiary hearing are due until the 26th -
Order on Motion for Leave to File Document – #29 in United States Securities and Exchange Commission v. Musk (S.D.N.Y., 1:18-cv-08865) – CourtListener.com
"No later than March 26, 2019, each party shall indicate in writing whether it is seeking an evidentiary hearing on this matter."
"No later than March 26, 2019, each party shall indicate in writing whether it is seeking an evidentiary hearing on this matter."
So Judge Nathan won't be making any decisions in Elon's case tomorrow.

That's day after tomorrow -- first Tuesday to come, not next. (Precision!) But you're right.
Oh, is that his NEW strategy? I hope so because it took him a long time to learn over promise and under deliver was not working, clearly a genius business move.

Married filing jointly would have a 3.5k fed tax if the income after deductions etc is about $30k or about $55k to $60k in pre-tax income.
Do people spend half their annual income on cars ?
Yeah, Tesla kind of messed up how they presented this. 'Midnight Wednesday' typically means 'the point at which Tuesday night transitions into Wednesday morning.' Lots of people use it incorrectly, but there's a reason that contracts generally specify 12:01 AM or 11:59 PM rather than midnight--to avoid ambiguity. They should have said 'Midnight Wednesday evening' if they meant tonight. Not a big deal, but another pet peeve of mine.
Thought you'd appreciate the recent tweet:
More EST (Elon Standard Time)
(personally, I stay up till midnight on the day I start on and being up at 2am Thursday is really being up late Wednesday night)
Why? Over promise and under deliver has worked for politicians for, well, as long as there have been politicians.
Not all at once...
A five year loan puts it at 10% of gross income, that is not unreasonable.

The biggest FUD destroyer is letting someone in the driver's seat. Joe Rogan, a muscle car guy, after owning his Tesla:
"That car is the future, when you drive it you realize other cars are stupid."

Yes - annual income is the psychological limit if I'm interpreting the data right.
But 80% of car purchases are at least partially financed from loans, so a lot depends on interest rates, credit rating, insurance rates and how the car mortgage payments relate to take home pay and home mortgage payments (if any).
$35k entry price captures about 50% of transactions and ~70% of the revenue of all car sales. (In the U.S.)

Get him to ride in it, then don't forget to tell him it's made in the USA, and that 2/3rds of our trade deficit for the last 40 or so years has been ICE automobiles and the oil to power them, while the USA is now a huge exporter of electric cars (because of Tesla) and we make the best in EVs in the world.
There could be EU spec cars on ships now or waiting to get shipped from US? But that still wouldn't explain why configurator says May and he was told August.
Wonder the tactical advantage Tesla is taking here by neither requesting or denying the opportunity for an evidentiary hearing. Maybe they laid down the case and want to give the SEC a window to withdraw or settle before judge rolls foward with contempt proceeding
