Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[Artful Dodger]

The rumor was 267 miles from the employee who posted a picture charging, which would likely be 325-350 EPA miles, about what everyone is expecting.

Yes that's true, and that same source also showed the current supercharging session as "charging at 75 mph" and "75 KWh added". Doing the math, that's 1 KWh/mile energy usage, which is what you'd expect when towing a large/heavy trailer. 267 miles calculated range would be really good if that was while towing.

FWIW My examples of closed petrol stations were on the A303, southwest UK. rural compared to London, but hardly the middle of nowhere.
Lights off at the pumps, definitely fully, properly closed. No pay-at-pump.

That's the UK for you...there are also houses that stick out into the road.

That would be excellent.

It seems the thread is going into hype mode where we overbuild expectations so people can be disappointed after the event. Instead of a "model 2", how about the cybertruck arrives towing a new version of the roadster?

250 mile EPA range is ridiculous. My 2013 Model S had 265 miles of range when it was new. We just bought a Model Y LR and it has 268 miles of range... at 80% full. There is no way the launch Cybertruck has such a short EPA range.

It is interesting that the delivery event will be during daylight hours and mostly happening while the stock market is open. How could they start an event at 1pm CST and restrict the release of new specs until after 3pm CST?

The specs are not going to be considered "material" from an investor perspective to restrict the timing of release unless they are way outside the bounds of what we already know.

In the US, the gas station by me also closes even though it has pay at the pump. But pumps are shut off when the attendants are not there.

Naw, Roadster flies up onto the stage then time-warps back to the 2020 AGM...

500mi, 0-60 1.98s, $50k anything less and my outlook on TSLA is good for a -20% move.

From what I’ve seen, only the dual motor will exist to start and will not have these specs.

 

[jhm]

Hmm, there's green on the TSLA chart and it's going up. Is this normal?

That's pretty rare and I'm sure there are a ton of stations near you open, especially around the interstate. I've never heard anyone in the US that couldn't find a gas station since the 80s.

This a joke?

Depends on where the moon is currently.

If the Model 2 looks like a Delorean (or one in the "Cyber"-platform), I might need to move to Europe if its only available there.

Also, maybe later, Tesla Rikshas in India.

Never said there wasn’t. Just pointing out that there are gas stations that close. And if gas demand does drop, I suspect fewer gas stations will remain open.

FYI - Looks like DirtyTesla dude will get the CT on Thursday. I am expecting a few valuable reviews over the weekend.

I thought he was joking referring to the dirty cybertruck in the parking lot. Is he really getting one on Thursday?

It's a joke. DirtyTesla replied to his post with this:

Oh, are we doing this?
OK
I say it will be "One more thing" and then Optimus drives out the Model 2, exits the car and stands off to the side, juggling 3 eggs.

Your turn.
