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

[Webeevdrivers]

They still haven't made it available in the US? I guess it's a recognition of how much more demand there is for towing with sedans in Europe than in the US... but I still hope you guys get it soon.



Argh, come on, Tesla, you missed a perfect opportunity!

Hmmm. Maybe it is available in the US but I don’t think it is in Canada. I actually didn’t know it was available in Europe. I follow Tesla somewhat but am not an owner so probably not up on everything. Luv the cars though.

I just checked - not available in the US or Canada, only Europe. Hopefully that changes. If it were available, you'd see it in the bottom right on this page:

Until then, people in the US and Canada at least have EcoHitches.

Trying to remember... what's that site that shows monthly delivery numbers for all of Europe as they come in?

I would think that a hitch here would be a small demand lever. Utility trailers, fishing boats, small tent trailers. Maybe it’s a DOT thing.

Speaking as an Australian, that old chestnut wouldn't endear Tesla to many of us.

Aren't all Australians the children of exiled British prisoners?

It’s a small website called TMC, you may have heard of it: Tesla Europe Registration Stats

All our fjords are filled with polar bears ....

What? The polar bears don't like GM cars?

 

[HG Wells]

Is this a Fjord ?

 

[Artful Dodger]

Is this a Fjord ?

No, its a Bjørn .

 

[CorneliusXX]

I figured you'd have more of a sense of humour than that. People always post stuff like "Meanwhile in Iceland" with, say, a picture of a guy shaking hands with a polar bear, and it's not like anyone here gets offended by it.

*Shrug*

Not offended. Just expect Tesla to be more innovative.

Thanks

So, beyond the three realtime countries (NL+NO+ES, which combined are surging... mainly driven by NL), we now have one more - Sweden (7,7% of EU sales last quarter... expected less now that RHD is started)

Q2: 559/336/819
Q3: 576/324/?
QoQ (monthly): +3%/-4%/?
QoQ (total): -0,6% (basically even)

Keep on keeping on!

I assume that you speak at least one of the Norse-derived languages?

Hurr, hurr. We all speak through our Norse here.

Lol, I thought Norse was a Germanic language, so yes?

But Bjørn is clearly Thai...

Cheers!

Old Norse was part of the North Germanic language family, yes. The main point I was getting at was I was curious whether you were using Bjørn to be just a name (e.g. "Teslabjørn"), or whether you were aware that bjørn** means "bear" in Nordic languages. It sounds like the former, and the fact that it was a picture of a literal bear was just an amusing coincidence?

** Icelandic declension: Hér er björn, um björn, frá birni, til bjarnar / Hér eru birnir, um birni, frá björnum, til bjarna

Teslabear ... that doesn't sound right ...

While Norse is Germanic, not all Germanic are Norse derived.

No, his last name is Nyland, not Thailand.

Here's another Tesla accident in Europe with a fatality (in the other car). Went into oncoming traffic. Unclear if autopilot was involved. Let's see if this gets reported in the mainstream press. I'm trying to keep a track of these to see when the mainstream press stops reporting on Tesla accidents. There were two accidents last weekend, with a fatality in one in the other car. Those did not make the mainstream press. So it appears to be a good sign. Makes sense too. Why should Tesla accidents be singled out when there are thousands of car accidents a day? Though they will probably still keep reporting autopilot accidents and fires.

Fatal Accident: Tesla crashes into oncoming traffic - one dies | Nordkurier.de

Here's a car park fire in Cork Ireland that burned 60 cars and did millions in damage:

Up to 60 cars scorched in ‘accidental’ Cork car park blaze

I can tell it was started by an old-fashioned ICE vehicle because it hasn't made international news.
