Something something horse something mouth.

It's possible... but I'm hesitant because I think Plaid is using new battery tech. That would mean that Tesla has somewhere setup a line for the new battery tech.
I would tend to disagree. While I don't expect a major drop in demand there will definitely be an impact. I am a good example, well-paid white-collar working for a very profitable software company that just completed a better then expected Q1. However, I am looking at my 401k and other investments and deciding I'll hold off on my Model Y order for the near term. Many others in the company who are younger are telling me the same thing as well as my neighbors. Now is not the time to make a major purchase. So many will delay buying a new car this year regardless of whether it's a Tesla or an ICE vehicle. I just look at all the hospital workers, some well paid in my area getting furloughed and the ripple affect thru the economy is significant. The other factor is the used car market is getting hammered and for buyers who want to trade in a car (again Tesla or ICE) towards the purchase of new Tesla will have to make up the drop in the used car value. They will either need to increase the loan amount or increase their cash contribution. So there are many examples that when combined will definitely affect demand.
FSD is in an awkward place now. If it hadn't been a 2k upgrade for me because I had purchased EAP I'm not sure I would have jumped.
At the beginning of this year Tesla was only guiding about 500,000 production units WORLDWIDE for 2020; therefore it is nearly certain that Tesla will sell EVERY unit they make. Tesla is supply constrained, not demand constrained.
Once again today, Los Angeles has the cleanest air of any major city on Earth, scoring a remarkably low score of 2 on the AQI index (by contrast the worst city is Hanoi at 187):
You should be looking at the global demand for midsize luxury vehicles, which I believe is around 400 to 500,000 cars a year. I'm not so sure that Tesla will be able to sell are their cars if there is a big drop in demand for a midsize luxury vehicles.
A mild form of this phenomenon occurs here fairly often the past few weeks. Go back a couple days and almost every trading anecdote since $970 in February was a winner. Everyone miraculously sold above the $700s and bought back at $400. It's just human nature. We tend to mention our victories and stay quiet about our losses, particularly among strangers.
I just buy and hold and buy more when I can. I've done this since 2013. I'm down bigly since February- on paper at least. That's pretty boring, but I can guarantee this...
I've never sold a share, therefore the stock has never dropped even temporarily on my account. That's my "wall street bet", and I'm proud of it.
So cheers to all of us boring, steadfast owners of a company we believe in.
Better tell Elon to re-lockdown those patents!This is probably not a popular opinion here, but I am cautioning against further investment in giga china in terms of advanced techs.
Don't know how many here knows, but 3M's mask production facilities in China were de facto nationalized during the crisis. It wasn't just an export ban.
It remain to be seen if China returns the facilities after the crisis. But it is a future that needs to be taken into account. What kind of crisis can ccp use to nationalize giga 3? What tech is ok to abandon. Should a self destruct firmware be installed etc.
There may be a drop for MS and MX, but unlikely for M3 and MY, and here's why: The car my M3 replaced was a 2003 Volvo with 200,000+ miles on it that still runs great. Many environmentally-conscious people such as myself don't consider the M3 (or MY) for that matter a "luxury" automobile. Many of us consider it a mandatory purchase since air pollution and climate change negatively affect us right now, every day, and cost the world economy billions each year.
In addition, just look at all the cheap Toyotas and Hondas people trade in for a M3. And the cost of operation is nearly zero once you've purchased the car because home electricity is very cheap (if you charge during off-peak hours), there are no oil changes, spark plugs, water pumps, timing belts, etc. EVs in general are simply a wiser purchase these days, and there's an EV for every budget.
No, Teslas are not just "luxury" purchases, although they are luxurious; they really are a smarter purchase if one is looking to spend $30K+ on an automobile, new or used. I am not rich, and I certainly don't chase after luxury. I know many people are in the same boat and feel the same way I do especially towards Teslas, and EVs in general.

I think it implies Panasonic employees will also return at that time because it seems they would have to for production to be normal but I haven't seen anything definitive on that.
Are you volunteering? Someone's gotta go first.Tesla Model V gets its first positive review:
Tesla Model 3-based ventilator critiqued by ICU nurse: "Very good job...well done."
Now I'm waiting for the 1st road test. ;P
Go Tesla! Bring it!
Don’t the Panasonic employees work in a super clean facility wearing PPE to keep the batteries clean? They should be able to go back quicker than most businesses as long as temperatures are being checked
The market will be flooded with excess vents when this is all done. So only if Tesla makes something unusually good will it have any chance of profit for years.What is the probability of Tesla selling ventilators, not just within the US but globally, at a profit if Coronavirus is going to be with us for years to come? Obviously the cost of producing one is much cheaper than what GM can muster up. Elon can keep giving these away but if there's a permanent market for it I don't see anything wrong with expanding the product line.
Yeah, just like Denver, which was #2 when I looked a few moments ago.Being right on the coast with prevailing winds right off the ocean helps to clear things out...
