So what you're suggesting is at 20 over the limit it goes into 'unmarked Police car' mode?
Hmmmm... that would actually be quite useful for clearing the dawdlers out of my way

There was an extension. However, based on data posted on TMC, the acquisition is happening (stock name/ number changes that echo Solar City transition).

Nah—read the article. Rules would limit vehicle to actual speed limit. I get it that driver could press accelerator but I wonder if AP would be limited.

When I was in Saudi Arabia (a couple of decades ago) there was the chime. It was universally ignored. As was the wearing of seatbelts. I amused Saudis by trying to dig out the non-functioning seatbelt when I was a passenger. They also used the horn to indicate lane changes which I never got completely used to. The horns were also mandatory on any change to green. It was as if everyone assumed no other driver could see the light and had to be notified the instant it turned green. I don't recall ever seeing a Saudi use a turn signal.
However, more recently in Jordan I don't recall any speed chime and I'm pretty sure we went at least 120kph north-south. I didn't do any of the driving myself so I don't have any strong recollection about the driving habits other than it was surprising to not witness any accidents despite the crazy driving. I did at one point try to record a video of the traffic, but was too slow and it was sedate by the time I did so.
Regardless, in neither country was speed a concern. Given the under use of safety restraints it is highly likely that accidents are more dangerous for those involved, but despite everything I've seen higher accident rates and riskier driving in the US.
That is who several of us from various locations have vanity license plates of GAUS 10K or 10 GAUS. Much of the US, at least, is limited to seven digits so we do end out being 'spelling challenged'.

the problem with this approach is it isn't so much the people in the speeding vehicle that are at risk. When I was in highschool some of my fellow students went out of town to do some underage drinking. When they ran low a few of them made a run into town where they crossed the line and collided head-on with a family killing mother, father and child.
I've never had much (if any) sympathy for the drunks, but my heart still goes out to the family who was killed by the careless thoughtlessness... I'm getting angry so I'll stop.
My point is "Darwin award mode" applies to others on the road as well.

Nobody suggested we are scared to show our support. However, discretion is the better part of valor in many cases. I don't think we want the judge to feel pressured in any way.

The Maxwell merger is your typical merger: i.e. very likely to happen, though not guaranteed. Tesla's set it up in a fashion which makes it extremely hard to stop unless there's a "bidding war" and there are no signs of another bidder.
I wouldn't bet on exactly WHEN it's going to go through, though (that said, I kind of have bet a little on when it's going to go through, but I'm fine even if I'm wrong -- I wouldn't be playing short-term call options or stuff like that though).

That's what it is -- as a visitor in a courtroom, you do not ever want to appear to be influencing the judge (or jury, or witnesses). This is just standard. You're a visitor. You're just *watching*. They shouldn't be watching *you*.
(If you're a witness or a litigant, your purpose kind of is to influence the judge and jury, so the rules are different.)

Some FUD fighting data for anyone still trying to pretend that lithium batteries can't be recycled:

I have never seen a federal court judge react to the appearance/choice of clothing attire of a member of the gallery. Conversations among participants, no matter how hushed the tone, are another matter. They are seldom tolerated, even among members of the bar. Outbursts of any kind, whether in support, opposition, or just spontaneously in response to a point made in oral argument, will likely result in removal from the courtroom. That is what courtroom deputies and the members of the US Marshall service are for and they take their jobs quite seriously.
Trials are not about "showing support". This is not a sports game. Any attempt you make to try to influence the judge by "showing support" is only going to backfire on you. Judges see themselves as impartial public servants seeking the truth, when they could instead be taking a much larger paycheck in private law practice. They don't generally take kindly to people trying to peer-pressure them.
In the same way that Cramer saying that the judge has to rule against Musk because he's making a fool of her is likely to backfire, Tesla supporters showing up in pro-Musk gear is likely to as well. Just don't.

Big automakers starting to look desperate
In view of the bad feeling unleashed by Japan’s detention of Carlos Ghosn in November, one might have expected Renault SA to keep things quiet for a while. Ghosn was head of the giant Renault-Nissan carmaking alliance and one theory for his downfall was that he was pushing too hard for a full combination of the French and Japanese companies.
But now, according to the Financial Times, Renault SA hopes to restart those merger talks with Nissan Motor Co. within 12 months and then launch a bid for another big carmaker, possibly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
This is surprising, to put it mildly. Seeking fresh discussions about a tie-up risks opening barely healed wounds in Tokyo.
That Renault would even consider such a move suggests relations with Nissan have improved since Ghosn was ousted. But even more than that, it underscores the desperation of carmakers as they try to respond to the industry’s epochal challenge: The hugely expensive shift to electric and automated vehicles.

If macro stay green and stable today , shall we close above 275 today?
Can't see how they can wait to add battery production lines with the Model Y coming around the end of the year. Also, wouldn't GF1 have to be expanded just for the Model Y production lines or is there already enough open space to accommodate it?

Gee, something strange has been happening all morning to the stock price.
It seems to be a funny color, almost like 5200 Angstroms.

Without the April 4th court date I would have said Yes. I would have expected the SP around 300 by close next Tuesday before Q1 numbers. I worry that the ruling will keep a lid on things until the 5th, or later if there is no immediate ruling. For the sake of my marriage, I hope I'm wrong (I want my balls back)....
I’m still picking myself up off the floor from this one. Although some may disagree, I’m glad there’s good comedic relief on this thread. Thanks everyone for keeping this amazing thread alive. I look forward to this learning, laughing, sharing everyday... what a cult.....
I keep thinking that with all the new Model 3 owners world wide, there are going to be a lot of new investors buying TSLA, and the current price couldn't be any better for them.
Why does this remind me of Andromeda Strain...
On topic: Latest SA FUD seems to be getting desperate:
Translation: These cars are way too fast! Think of the children! How irresponsible!
Translation: These cars are terrible! The customers are just too stupid to notice.
Translation: You're just not smart enough to buy into my F... I mean well-meant opinion which I totally don't spew to further my own financial goals.
Who would've thought....
