About that Chamath interview... I am not sure he is right about energy trading. He made it sound like "all of us" will be able to trade energy with the new Tesla Autobid software, but the way I understood was that this is for Powerpack/Megapack not Powerwall. Even if the SW makes this seamless and needs no knowledge/skills from the end user, I am pretty sure that energy trading is not something just any residential user can do. At least in Hungary you need a rather expensive permit for it and I bet your local utility company needs to OK as well. This is meant for companies, not private citizens.
i consider myself "aware" this topic now thanks for the enlightenment... always assumed this happened ... did not know what it was called i retract my conspiracy theoryAbout 13% of stock trades happen in private exchanges, "dark pools."
Short overview
Longer explanation
Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' RoundtableWell, dark pools are as real as the dark web. Meaning....it's real. Not a (fake) conspiracy.
Is this guy still with WSJ? Looks like undercover mission is finally over?
Tesla Virtual Power Plant
Colin Breck and Percy Link explore the evolution of Tesla's Virtual Power Plant (VPP) architecture
A VPP is a network of distributed energy-resources (often solar, wind, batteries) that are aggregated to provide smarter and more flexible power generation, distribution, and availability. Tesla's VPP consists of vertically integrated hardware and software, including both cloud and edge computing
Found this presentation a while back. It discusses the architecture of how this whole thing is set up.
I really wonder if at some point given the challenges he has had at VW he does not end up working for Tesla. He seems to get it but I think it is more the internal culture at VW than his leadership. Elon and him seem to really respect one another and Diess does not seem like a guy with such a big ego that he would only take a CEO role.
Benzinga – Thinkorswim newsfeed – 9 minutes ago:
Argus Research analyst Bill Selesky upgrades Tesla from Hold to Buy and announces $1888 price target.
Agreed. I think he is stupid and incredibly dangerous but moving the US to clean energy is critical to the planet (and my own retirement). I'll take help from the devil if we get it.I really don’t care. Tesla gets so much more out of this. It’s no longer that “other country” California’s car. Texas will give Tesla A LOT of exposure/cred to the other 1/2 of the country. That stupid tweet will now let me go into rural counties and not get nearly as much ire. Just this weekend my wife and I went to the country to view the comet and parked on the side of a rural country road. Three trucks stopped to see if we needed help (or find out what we were doing), but one yelled out “Ha ha, your Tesla ran out of juice!” 100% that guy has seen Trump’s tweet. It couldn’t feel sweeter.
It’s the first and only Trump tweet I will ever “like”.
