Yes those headlines should have a big impact, the local one recently closed as well. I like the last part, Major Polluter..

WSJ through MarketWatch - hour ago: White House may drop effort to freeze emissions targets for new cars
No. The Space X version (which if you're gonna get one, you gotta get that one) is a 2-seater.The Roadster is a 4 seater. 2 door, 0 handles, but seats 4. The trick is getting into the car.
j/k I know it's electronic touch screen.
I saw this technical argument from somebody here today, but 5 points, not 4. So, two matching opinions then?

Way too much common sense in that line of thinking. Wall Street will never buy it. lol!

Tesla's service and used car revenue is growing, but can't make up for a plunge in US vehicle sales
Tesla US sales are plunging
Yes, of course, they just happened to use the reverse plunger:
Seems Twitter is suspending TSLA supporter accounts in response to complaints from TSLAQ.
Let’s see how this would develop.

. This is one account by an, IMO, overzealous supporter. Do you have other examples of accounts? I enjoyed reading 'Ghosts' tweets but I am not surprised his account was suspended.
EDIT: So what other Tesla supporter has had their account suspended by Twitter.
EDIT: On another note Russ Mitchell of LA Times who blocked many twitter accounts that could be classified as 'Tesla supporters' recently decided to be a 'journalist' and unblocked them.

You ask a number of good questions. In response to the 2%, when I was architecting computers around 1995-2005, our rule of thumb was that when a technology passed 1%, it was going to win. The size of the advantage of the incumbent, from cost through volumes, the understanding of the market decision process, access to markets, etc, all made breaking through extremely difficult. Basically, a solution is head and shoulders better if it gets a real foothold. I think this is just as true with EV’s.
A number of Tesla owners are not moved by the environmental argument. The foot on the floor response is what decides them.
The science is not in dispute. The last papers submitted for peer review arguing against any of the central arguments of human caused climate change, were torn apart 20 years ago. Anybody that can make a case against climate change, and can show their math, would be showered with unbelievable wealth.
The ~$5 trillion carbon industry spends a billion dollars a year they document through non profits here in the US. All to create a perception that a debate exists. They would slow down the end of the carbon burning cycle. That isn’t going to change.
Most people are too busy getting to work, feeding themselves and their loved ones, and showing off to each other to focus on anything else.
This is why simple views like they don’t know or don’t care aren’t completely true. Many are too busy or too tired or too overwhelmed to prioritize climate in their daily decisions. That’s OK.
Solar, wind, and batteries are the critical technologies to reduce the affects of climate change. They already exist, and are already cost effective. But they don’t exist at scale, yet. Batteries are the hardest component to scale. That’s why Tesla and any other serious EV’s are so important. They drive a dramatic increase in the need for batteries.
Tesla nearly sold as many vehicles in 3Q19 as they did in 2017. Quadrupling in less than two years is not too bad. Look for them to triple that in 2-3 years, then triple again in another 2-3 years. At the same time, local and large scale battery storage will grow faster. And solar perhaps even faster.
We humans may not be able to absorb the new technologies much faster than that.
Aaron Greenspan/Plainsite made a copyright complaint against the guy because he posted Aaron's picture on twitter. I guess if you can't attack the argument, you have to go after some petty BS.
I'm sure they were all pretty worked up after the stock climbed so high and their short positions were getting wrecked.
I assumed this was the case and that there were virtually no model 3s being made for North America market at present. I don’t know what the theory was for “unwinding the wave”. Having a wave where the front of the quarter is for worldwide production and then switch to North American production around middle of quarter makes complete sense. Only time to “unwind” that strategy is once EU factory starts producing.

.. and that picture was publicly available on many sites. It is not that he surreptitiously snapped that picture hiding in Aaron's bedroom.

I disagree. It sounds reasonable from a production point of view, but from a delivery point of view, you get deliveries in North America that are badly back loaded in the quarter.
Unwinding the wave is all about each geography seeing a reasonably stable flow of cars for delivery. If the delivery rate varies by 2x over the quarter (1/2 speed at the beginning, 2x speed at the end), that's pretty small variation compared to what Tesla's done in previous quarters. It doesn't need to be completely flat.
A stable flow of cars lets your delivery team and process get experience and sizing to the rate of car arrival and delivery, it keeps people from burning out at the end of the quarter making numbers (that you'd get at the start of the next quarter anyway), and most importantly - it enables the process to improve and create a better experience for customers. And that's the real value. (I believe there is also potential value to financials by optimizing flow from mfg to delivery worldwide for all days of the month, rather than optimizing around a single artificially chosen point in time each quarter).
I've already recommended to friends and colleagues thinking about buying a Tesla to time their delivery to be outside of the final month or at least final 2 weeks of a quarter. I don't want their first experience as a new Tesla owner to be standing around in a crowd of new cars with a crowd of new owners, getting an incomplete orientation to the car, and insufficient time and opportunity to inspect their new car. I want them to have an excellent new owner experience that gets them off on the right foot.
And if/when my wife and I buy a new Tesla (probably not for at least 3-5 years - we've done our buying already), we'll be timing our delivery to avoid the final month of a quarter. Probably the easiest way to do that is order whenever, but then slip our delivery from late in the quarter to a couple of weeks into the start of the new quarter.
Unfortunately, copyright law doesn't care how many people post it. You own copyright the instant you take a picture, and it remains with you unless you revoke it.
@tesla_truth mistakenly believed otherwise, reposted the pic after receiving a DMCA notice, and got banned because of it.
Yeah, it's petty. Yeah, people could do the exact same thing back to Aaron. You can't even post a code from a public-facing website without violating copyright law (something he did just the other day). But nobody does anything about it unless a DMCA notice is filed.
Plainsite site is also a massive, massive GDPR violator. Openly admits to autocollecting private data just by you visiting the site, but you don't find out about this until you click to a page ("privacy"?) explaing that, where it also informs you that they refuse to delete it at your request, and will only delete your data due to a court order.
But again, unless someone raises a GDPR case? Nothing happens.
Happy Halloween peeps!
While it might be amusing to us, I have to caution against costumes with electric toothbrushes and toilet seats.
The goal of the holiday is not to actually to terrify people!

Awesome Karen. My first post as a newbie was going to ask whether they left range mode on, thus affecting their numbers across the board. Reduced power, increased times.
