For 50 km with a payload? Any links to such drones?

Joint Plant 1? Even though it’s the first plant without a Chinese partner, the Chinese still view this a joint venture, Well, they’re more or less funding it and they’re definitely (speed)building it, so I guess it feels like a joint effort.
The Chinese wording is more like joint as body/battery/drive-train etcs
 
V10 EAP is a bit of a let down from revenue recognition perspective.

It doesn't include Smart Summon, though that can come in later since it has already been in EAP for sometime.

There is no "recognition of traffic lights and stop lights" that is in the release notes / description from any of the people with EAP.

So - may be we shouldn't expect any extra recognition of deferred revenue in Q3.
Maybe there's still a chance?
First look at Tesla V10 release notes: Here’s what’s coming
One could immediately see that these V10 update release notes are primarily focused on extra, fun features on Tesla’s vehicles, and not their core functionalities such as Autopilot and highly-anticipated Full Self-Driving capabilities such as Smart Summon. Reports from the Tesla community suggest that these features are also included in the V10 release to members of the Early Access Program, though no release notes on these new capabilities have been shared online as of writing.
 
Wow, this profit margin is just crazy, even Intel would impressed.........In a good way.

Porsche 911 Is (Sort Of) The Most Profitable Car Of The Year: Report

"Porsche's 911 is a profit machine.
The new 992 Porsche 911 is already proving to be a huge sales success based on 2019 earnings. According to an analysis of top-selling highly profitable cars, the 911 is clearly the most financially successful and Porsche is just getting started.

When the 992 911 debuted earlier this year, it promised to be a more useful 911 that retains the characteristics that made the previous car great. According to a report shared by Auto News Europe, the Porsche 911 has a 47% profit margin and contributes 29% of Porsche’s revenue."

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

The Bloomberg article behind a paywall states the 911 is how Porsche will pay for the next three years of Taycan losses (breakeven 2023). Tesla operates similar in that the S/X higher profit margins help Tesla's balance sheet. The reason so much attention to S/X sales.

$157,000 and $188,000 for the Taycan and they're STILL not profitable! Wow!!!
 
The Iraq/Iran war fits that bill just fine as a proxy war. I'm being generous when I say "war" as I'm also including acts of violence, sabotage, etc. into that. Let's say "conflict" instead.


It doesn't. Saddam Hussein invaded Iran with primarily Soviet weapons to capture its oil fields.

I agree ...range or payload...hard to get both unless it's pretty big.
Since we are already off topic:

Does not matter as to who could have done this. Do you really think the US military could not build Iranian drone planes to stage a false flag? Always look to who stands to benefit from an attack like this. 1. Iran? 2. Saudis? 3. US military?
Clearly 2 and 3 benefit from a war with Iran. Iran though? o_O:confused:

There are 7 or 8 fracking companies in Texas willing to write a check for a few drones. It's like Lenin said.

Does Tesla Have A Brand-New World-Beating Battery?

The article states Tesla may have to move to a new battery form to take advantage of this breakthrough. Maybe this is EM's 1 million mile battery tech.

Does Tesla Have A Brand-New World-Beating Battery?
"Anyone familiar with Lambert and Electrek's long history of overhyping Tesla has come to expect this kind of hyperbole, but Lambert's reporting leaves out some incredibly important information about the cells that Dahn describes in his recent paper. It's not just that the path from research to industrial-scale manufacturing is long and fraught: Lambert fails to mention that the cells Dahn describes aren't Tesla's unique intellectual property or that Tesla would need to completely re-engineer its entire battery pack architecture to use them. It doesn't take a battery expert to understand these realities and their implications, leaving the reader to wonder why Lambert might have left these details out of his reporting."

This guy lights up Fred Lambert from Electrek........

The Truth Behind Electrek's Shady Alliance with Tesla


"But like the company that it covers so closely, Electrek’s meteoric rise has been dogged by controversy. Though some of these controversies are simply the product of the website’s consistently and aggressively positive position on Tesla, much of the criticism comes from pro-Tesla (and pro-electric vehicle) corners and focuses on independent issues like journalistic ethics, EV fan culture, and personal decorum. Even as Electrek turns every news story into a referendum on Tesla and divides the world into fans and haters, its brazen style is opening new divisions that cut across its black and white worldview."

Remember "WMD" found in IRAQ .... even thought they might not be able to directly link IRAN, all it takes is a few power points saying that they did
