Stock is so oversold, the shortie whack a mole efforts are not as effective as they were earlier in the week.
Yes. The price is down, but it feels like sitting on a coiled spring.

Agreed. If a Tesla can basically drive itself while a driver sits in the seat it will literally be a "shut up and take my money" type of situation.He is just repeating what he has heard - but I think most of the people even on TMC are skeptical level 4 FSD will be feature complete by end of '19. I'd say even level 3 - can safely commute but need to be able to take over within minutes when needed - would be a tremendous achievement and will propel TSLA to 700+.
Warning, Fred link: Volkswagen announces all-electric version of its Multivan
How a large van with 78kWh battery will get to 400km is beyond me...
The updated T6.1 Multivan will offer an all-electric version of the vehicle in conjunction with German tuning company ABT. The release notes detailed a few specs:
“With an output of 82 kW / 112 PS and a battery capacity of either 38.8 kWh or 77.6 kWh, driving ranges of more than 400 km (NEDC) will be possible – making the vehicle ideal for commercial duty in the urban world.”
This actually matters, psychologically. Grille is to EV as keypad is to smartphone. People will want the world to know they have gone electric. Cars with grilles - think blackberry.
Large/showy tail pipes are just for show for the vast majority of stock cars anyway. If I were unkind I could call them "ricey" (fake things suggest show performance but that don't do anything) Why show off the 1" exhaust pipe on your Camry?Same goes for tailpipes. I notice more and more ICE vehicles with cleverly concealed pipes as if they're embarrassed by them (they probably should be given the étron that comes out of them!)

I was about to write the same.
Also the Battery production is linked to the MXWL acquisition but we all do not know yet what impact this will have on batteries and packs. In terms of required volume production per car it may mean nothing while the new MXWL innovation could result in longer range beside other interested specs like faster loading and unloading.
At this stage with mass production of the 3 and ramping delivery in EU I doubt that the MXWL business has an impact on GF4 for now.

In CA - the huge success of Prius and later EVs was partially atleast because of carpool privileges. Just imagine if the car can just drive on its own during commute. They will also have all the existing 3 (and S & X ?) owners wanting to upgrade - just pure profit.Agreed. If a Tesla can basically drive itself while a driver sits in the seat it will literally be a "shut up and take my money" type of situation.
so basically if we follow this guy we can all get silly rich and buy out TSLA ourselves? HmmmmSome very interesting commentary on the 8.6K $295 2/22 puts that were opened here. Note that this predates the CR story, but follows the GC departure story. Four minute video. So were these positions opened on Wednesday at open? If so, this reeks of insider trading.

Maxwell has way more patents than a firm its size usually has, and some of them are rather broad. I wouldn't be surprised if the impetus for the acquisition involved potential infringement by Tesla on an aspect of battery tech or a product process that would have been impossible to change at this point.
I trust that CR is being honest with their assessment.
One problem with CR recommendations is that it assumes all buyers are the same and buyers have infinite choices.
That would seem more probable. Isn't Waymo claiming level 4 now ?To be fair, what Elon described as technologically feasible by the end of the year essentially is level 3(car can handle entire driving task most of the time, but human might need to take over in some situations). Level 4 implies the human can clock out entirely, which he suggested is feasible by the end of 2020.
The hydrogen proponents keep saying that hydrogen will be made with little or no electricity. Magic fungus or some such.They’re actively trying to prepare everyone for the world of Hydrogen cars, with their needed even more enormous grills. It’ll be interesting to see how long they take to realize they’re on a dead-end path.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell = Pteranodon of the car fuel world.

Oh, you can but it's more like "I'd like to report my neighbor..."How do you say consumer reports in Chinese? It's a trick question, because you don't.
