I think it's more a reflection of the drop in the £.Significant Performance Model 3 price increase in the UK, by +$3,700:
This suggests that UK demand is fine.
With thrusters it could drive on an upside down road.I want to see tesla plaid mode rollercoaster doing a vertical loop.
Now that'd be great publicity.
I agree order books are likely to be strong. My gut feel is that the UK will probably be the largest market in Europe (not EU, lol). For the M3. Combating climate change appears to be increasing swiftly in people's minds.Edit: you are right, indeed the GBP weakened since May by ~4%.
Also, if they were adjusting for the exchange rate they'd touch the pricing of all the models, not just the Model 3 Performance with the lowest take rate, right?
Which to me suggests that the order book for the wrong-hand-driven Performance units is strong.![]()
It's about to get a lot weaker in the very nearby futureIt could also just show that the British Pound is weak and they're starting to make adjustments![]()
Emotions play a part in decision making, this non rational component can lead to mistakes.Here’s the flaw in your thinking:
‘Well this [genius or subject matter expert] has made mistakes before” (TRUE)
“Therefore I [who am neither genius nor a subject matter expert] can judge that this will be a mistake” (FALSE)
Agree except for the motivation is a lust for blood part. I think we should believe him when he says that he’s out to save the planet (even if it means Tesla has to destroy whole industries). Everything Tesla does seems perfectly aligned with this motivation.
I think it's better for Tesla to bite the bullet and commit to a more official refresh schedule, and take whatever Osborning there might happen - which would happen anyway due to rampant "refresh is around the corner" speculation. This way they can at least reap the PR benefits.
So 39.74m TSLA shares shorted was the 8/30 figure, and Ihor Dusaniwsky's closest short interest figure was 39.90m TSLA shares shorted one day before that, on 8/29:
That's pretty impressively accurate, given that the NASDAQ figures update once a month, so whatever algorithm Ihor is using has the highest inaccuracy right before the official report. I did point out in the past when Ihor's short interest guesses were off, and I regularly double check the track record of his methodology.
I'd also like to note that if Ihor had anything to hide about his firm's methodology, he'd likely avoid reporting his guesses right before the official report's settlement date, which makes it easy to double check and falsify.
So if Ihor says that the last two weeks wasn't short covering that's probably an honest opinion based on data, and let's not attack the messenger over that ...
BTW., this also means that most of the shorts missed the dip from ~$250 levels to $180 levels and squandered ~$2.8b profits by not covering, waiting for TSLA to hit $0 I suppose?![]()
But you made the opposite claim a few months ago and was highly critical of Fred/Electrek for the upgrade rumors and how it was osborning S,X sales. But now that Elon/Tesla has let the cat out of the bag, it is okay? That is a bit inconsistent.
Also, I note that Elon has actually managed to somewhat squash those refresh rumors recently via the conference call and his tweets, and most people (including myself) were of the new opinion that a major refresh was not going to happen (at least not anytime soon). The "rampant "refresh is around the corner" speculation", as you claim, was acutally dying down. And S,X sales were actually moving up on the Raven upgrade. My prediction was that S,X sales will continue to ramp going forward. But now because of yesterday's announcement, they are going to take a hit (likely still ramp, albeit slower, due to tax credit expiry and strong seasonality). Taycan, at 150k base, less range, and no charger network, etc., was not a threat to Tesla. There was no need to release that info
How did you control for selection bias?97% of all statisics found in discussions on the internet are fictitious.

The 3% was removed.How did you control for selection bias?
Just to dampen enthusiasm a bit: the Taycan's two-speed gearbox trick will help them most in achieving higher speeds in the fast straights, and this video is of a relatively slow corner. So this video is inconclusive, it at best is showing that the Raven has a chance to measure up to the Taycan.
But to be honest I'd be shocked if one of Porsche's tear-down engineering firms didn't carefully benchmark and run a simulated Nürburgring run with the Raven (yes, there are software tools for that), before deciding to make Nürburgring track performance the cornerstone of their marketing strategy.
So my baseline expectation for Raven Model S Nürburgring track performance would be a lap time somewhere between the Taycan's 7:42 and 7:59.
If it's 8:xx or 9:xx then I doubt Tesla is going to post the result, but might post a Plaid result instead.
Wait, if you remove the 3% which on virtue of being factual are outliers, then would that not get to 100% are fictitious?The 3% was removed.
No more calls, we have a winner.Wait, if you remove the 3% which on virtue of being factual are outliers, then would that not get to 100% are fictitious?
