Probably won’t be allowed for companies.ExxonMobil could do it every day for a year without blinking. There really has to be a restriction preventing the same rich person from doing it repeatedly. There probably will be.

Speaking of which, how does one do a trade-in now?
Very surprised to see standard range unveiled today. Thought for sure we’d be waiting until summer.
At this moment, I do not believe they will be able to break even on the lowest end model, but that isn’t terribly important yet. They likely have a path of getting there sometime in the future.
Elon did say high foot traffic stores would remain as galleries. I guess that means popular malls.
My guess is it ends up being sort of about the six and one-half [Inaudible] where if there's a given amount of free cash flow, you sort of decide-you decide to achieve that with a smaller production or smaller volume of cars or at a higher margin or large volume cars at a smaller margin. I think we're already toward the second. We'd rather make more cars at a lower margin, but I think it's more or less a flat rate.
Prediction : German automakers for the most part will only try to compete against S&X. With lower volumes, they may be able to do so with small losses. But they will have no answer to 3 for many years to come. Same for Y.
Actually one of the things which makes Musk an exceptionally good exec. I noticed this early: he will change direction *really fast* compared to most CEOs.
I would love to help and I am also admitted in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and we could discuss maybe in a separate thread but two problems are 1. I am retired and in TN so we would need someone local as well but the bigger problem is the issue before the court. I could see an Amicus on the first case before settlement but the contempt is usually focused not on the SEC's authority or enforcement action but instead on whether Elon violated the agreement. It is not obvious to me how an Amicus could help the court determine whether the tweet was one that should have been preapproved.
The problem is that the issue is did he violate his agreement. Maybe some public policy argument and harm to us (long retail investors) could be made but I would like to discuss that strategy and the relevance outside of the forum. I would be willing to do so. There are others here that would need to help.
Depends. It’s possible they won’t increase the price, though after the tax credit phase out, the price will effectively go up.Frankly, the $35K promise turned out to be a moving target due to inflation. I think Tesla will raise prices with inflation as soon as they can credibly get away with it (i.e. after all reservation holders have gotten their chance to buy the $35K car).
That is far from unanimous.I will say, the Bolt seats are very comfortable.

I apparently have more shares than several of the Board of Directors (Linda Rice?!?) they certainly should be sharing the conference call with us.Indeed, we are the owners of the company.
Oh, it's clear. Take the waiting list for Powerwalls and say "Would you like solar panels with that?" They already tried it with me but I wanted the Solar Roof. (And then I cancelled due to not being allowed by my family to do more home construction for a few years after the last disaster.)Energy likely has no solid plan for customer acquisition.
You got to be kidding. With Bolt, the biggest compliant was the seat. Apparently there were two types and one was really bad. In fact, if you start searching on google “bolt seats” ... guess what’s the next suggested wordI will say, the Bolt seats are very comfortable. Model 3 seats have changed, like, 4 times already, but I really disliked the first iteration.
It's been mentioned several times that 350k to 500k was for model 3 only and does not include 80k or more S and X which puts the total production at 430k to 580k for which 500k is reasonably near the middle of that range.Actually [and I'm a Tesla owner and mega-fan], guiding for 350k to 500k production is not the same as "will build 500k". There's a HUGE difference between a range of 350k to 500k and just plain 500k - the range leaves you speculating on production - "will build 500k" does not.
This is like the std rule that any site that allows trial subscription would use.Tesla badly needs a Chief Risk Officer, and I volunteer.
They should have the following restriction:
-- if you return your model 3 in the 7 day/1000 mile period, you have two options:
---- get a replacement model 3 (used if you consider yours to be defective / a lemon, or turn out to hate the color)
---- get cash back.
...but if you get cash, you should not be allowed to order another Model 3 for a year. I think that would deter "joyriders".
Is AP still the same price ?I just noticed that the FSD upgrade for my 3 is down to $3k, the same price it would have cost had I added it when I purchased the car. Tempting now that HW3 is about to hit.
Even more tempting to buy it during a quarter where Tesla could use the additional cash...
Latest announcement is giving bears a lot to chew on. They are calling it a prepackaged bankruptcy due to the mass layoffs and store closures. A liquidation sale of cars. To the less informed investor this sounds scary to think about. My thinking is we stay in this $250-380 range until Model Y starts rolling off the lines
“Given that there was just a lot happening in Q1, and we’re taking a lot of one-time charges and there are a lot of challenges getting cars to China and Europe, we do not expect to be profitable in Q1,” Musk said on a call with reporters. “But we do think that profitability in Q2 is likely.”
The CEO doubled down on his defence against the SEC’s claims by reiterating comments he made on a Jan. 30 earnings call that Tesla would sell as many as 500,000 Model 3s this year.
“350,000 to 500,000 Model 3s is what I said in the earnings call,” Musk told reporters. “And we expect to make somewhere between 70,000 to 100,000” Model S sedans and Model X crossovers.
Is AP still the same price ?
I wonder if they start doing conventional advertising now that most stores will be shut down. the stores (especially those in Malls) introduced people to the brand that wouldn't know otherwise. they have to replace that somewhere.
Well, $4k.I already have EAP, so I can't see the upgrade price. Log into your Tesla account, click Manage on your car, then Autopilot Upgrades.
