I thought the Jaguar i-Pace and Audi e-Tron were "Tesla killers"?

Plenty of evidence that the popular narrative was that EV's from other manufacturers were the direct threat to Tesla. The fact that this has been proven wrong so far doesn't make them "compliance" cars. They were designed to unseat Tesla. The fact that they have all failed to do that doesn't mean they were designed as "compliance" cars.

If you look on the Twitter post, ANCAP responded to a comment and said that they do a blend of NCAP results, in addition to their own testing. (That's why the active safety tests show the video from the NCAP testing).

Yesterday's 8:36 premarket price was a bit lower than yesterday's 10:xx low.
Not an advice.

Please point me to a communciation from Elon that is a projection or forecast of 1000 solar roofs/week.

Wow, Audi gave up already?
Tl; dr; Power is an important spec for the system, but it does not define the battery size.
If we want to get really picky, there are two limits on the power output of the system. One is the rate the cells can (dis)charge without damage. That is an operational choice as the peak output can be raised with a decrease in reliability (for that matter so can the energy). However, the main constraint in these systems as built (multiple hours of storage at rated power) is the size of the inverter.
One could have a TWh of battery and only 1kW of output. One could also take a car battery (<1kWh), short it, and achieve >6kW of output. So, while the power number is important, it is not a useful metric for production requirements. Doubling inverter capacity is easier than doubling battery capacity.

On Tesla killers, saw my first etron in NJ with a temp plate. first impression is that it is too bulky and heavy (at least looking so). The aero seems bad and the fake grill is ugly. I mean why would anyone buy an etron. I gladly parked my model 3 right behind for the potential interested onlookers to have a direct comparison.

Although in America, the bigger, bulkier vehicle will probably be seen as more desirable...
I tend to agree.
There are 8 access doors on the side running the full length of the container. If they are 30" doors, that's a 20' container. If they are 36"ers, then a 24' container.
They'd have to be ~6' wide doors if it were one of the larger size containers... which they are clearly not.
As I mentioned in my very first post, it's in line with the *plant output* guidance (GW/yr). It's only a statement of mix.
And we saw how great that worked out for them in court.

"Accused Tesla Killers Acquittted Of All Charges"
Love it! But it wasn't for lack of trying.
Kind of like saying "I have a non-profit organization, it wasn't planned that way - it just happened."?
The Norwegian EV Club did a duelling test between these two cars.
In Norwegian. Google can translate for you I guess.

You can bet there will be stiff opposition, but once the public knows that electricity rate will go down by 20%, as they have done in Australia, there will be a lot of public pressure against the lobbyists.
Simple question, how big is a solar roof? How can this measure be used to determine production? It could be either of these two:
It just implies a ramp. And then you can read in the 10-Q:
Gigafactory 2
We have an agreement with the SUNY Foundation related to the construction of a facility in Buffalo, New York, referred to as Gigafactory 2, where we have housed the development and production of solar products and components. The terms of such agreement require us to comply with a number of covenants, including required hiring and cumulative investment targets, which we have met to date. Overall, we expect our significant operations at Gigafactory 2 and the surrounding Buffalo area to continue, including with our ramp and manufacture of Solar Roof, which we are planning to scale over the remainder of 2019 and into 2020, as well as certain product development and other Tesla operations including manufacturing and assembling Supercharger and energy storage components. In addition, Panasonic manufactures PV cells and modules at Gigafactory 2, which are among our various sources for our
solar retrofit installations.
I think relatively easily because the issue is replacing all the power poles and wires. The Puerto Rican energy company said that many areas will never get electricity from them again. Already the NTREG has members who have gone down there, arranged for solar arrays at almost cost to produce from several manufacturers (I don't know if Tesla was among them--I didn't see any Tesla labels in the slide presentation--and trained Puerto Ricans how to install them and do the wiring. (Trained them well enough that they could train others). Before they installed the solar panels, the way people got electricity was to get a generator an power the house through an electrical outlet--kind of dangerous. This would just be another step and only local wiring rather than national wiring would be required, so many more areas could get electricity in a reasonable time frame.
And there are few natural gas plants slated for future production because the ramp up time (getting permits, construction, etc.) is too long compared to solar. It's far easier to put in solar where it's required--especially when the requirements change rapidly.
Shouldn't be an issue. Just arrange for politicians to give the speeches there. Should be more than enough hot air to keep the batteries comfortable.
Only thing that bugs me about that article is the comparison of charge rates in terms of "How much SoC you get per minute charging" rather than "How much range you get per minute charging". The former is an utterly meaningless figure.

The icing on the cake is Free supercharging to Seniors over 65, it would sell like hotcakes..
