Yes, I think Plaid Model S will help, especially in the current situation...sure there is a smaller pool of buyers, that is why you need a product with strong appeal, which out competes competitor products by some margin.

Why not wash it thoroughly with soap?. We all know soap disintegrates the virus.
I'm sure we will be able to identify a solution in which masks can be soaked for say 24 hours to kill the virus, put them though a regular machine wash and dry them at high temp in a clothes dryer...
Individuals using this method will need about 3 masks, 1 to wear, one being soaked, and one in the wash...
I have heard that China makes 10 million per DAY. I had no problem ordering lots of FFP2 masks for friends, which are just as good as N95. But, Alibaba has now stopped any PPE sales, which makes it more difficult.

Please tell me this is a sarcastic comment. Soap doesn't kill or disintegrate anything. All soap does is facilitate the removal of bacteria and viruses from surfaces. The bilipid nature of soap means it stick to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic things. Soap never has and never will kills germs.
Alcohol bases things like hand gel do denature viruses. BUT SOAP DOES NOT. That is why you must thoroughly scrub and rinse.
If we can't get people to realize that after 3 months of this damn thing we are screwed.

Unfortunately heat that dries the mask will decrease efficacy. Ethylene Oxide is used by hospitals to sterilize equipment and now masks. UVC sterilization can also work on masks and maintain their efficacy.
Repelling liquid droplets is an essential function of a mask, surgical masks have a water repellent that is not as effective after exposure to soap and water.
The most important function of a mask is to prevent airborne particles entering your nose and mouth. If you touch the mask, you are at risk. With every touch of the mask you need to cleanse your hands before you touch something else. I spend much of my day coaching my staff not to touch the mask. A well fitting nose piece is most important, if it slips, we all move it upwards.
Is this now the coronavirus and face mask sterilization thread? Unless you guys have something to contribute in terms of impact to TSLA.....

What do we think will happen next week? Given the short week I’m expecting lower volumes and higher manipulation for TSLA. Any updates on battery day? What other news can we expect? Looks like we continue to deplete inventory and deliver cars. But guys we have a demand problem....

No. Heating the mask kills the virus without damaging the filter of the mask. Washing ruins the mask.
Fair point..
I'm expecting Battery Day after Q1 earnings... I now think Q1 earnings might be delayed while they work out when and how to open Fremont.
This post is my big picture take on the year:-

This is my take on S&P 500 inclusion:-

There are so many unknowns that we are just guessing, I guess my main point is I expect Tesla to be proactive about solving problems and getting production restarted.

That would probably degrade the mask and the elastic straps. I think an alcohol soak and air dry is OK.

At one time in my past, I had kids that had a problem contact with head lice. I figured out a lot of things about getting rid of them. To solve the problem described here, put the masks in the clothes dryer for about 20 minutes on high temp. I think that was 120 degrees on my dryer at the time. This should be within the design range of any elastic on the mask, which would be similar to elastic in clothing.
You probably don't want to run the masks through the washing machine or likewise get any liquids on them - just use the dryer.
Anyone think the influx of cash from the CARES loans will strengthen macros. Tons of small business owners that now get free payroll for two months, many of them may not looking at a 50% downturn can use their current cash for investments and the government loan for payroll.
OT, but I think it’s important to clear this up. Apparently soap does destroy the virus by dissolving the lipid membrane.
Why Soap Works
Oh my bank account noticed the 40% decline in price
I dunno I've only followed TSLA stock since 2016 I think there are definitely times future cash burn has been priced in, but so the stock won't dip after those earning reports but won't have massive appreciation either. So I just don't see a big post Q2 earnings-related bump.
Now Battery Day on the other hand...
Any positive Q1 results I imagine would be a good boon. Deciding on whether to reenter before Q1 results, or after Q1 but before Battery Day.
It's unfortunate because there are often concern trolls here, but many have an itchy trigger finger and will lambast anyone with any critical (even if legitimate) questions if they don't trust them.
This is an interesting twist on the truth.
I began posting my little Google Trend findings days (or a week) before I sold stock. That was a real-time thought process that I shared here to bounce the ideas off.
Once I felt there wasn't really much rebuttal, (plus short term COVID market underestimation IMO) then I sold. And told everyone.
That's transparency. If I was trying to manipulate the market (lol) I sure did a bad job by being "negative" before I sold!
I am itching to get back in. But I still don't see clear refutation of my Q2 production / demand concerns. So it makes me hesitant because yes I would like to get more shares for my money. So I may still post on that topic until I get better clarity.
If we had all done the same by listening better to anyone talking about COVID (with data), would you not have sold stock at $900?
I am still bullish.
