Speculating on the idea of improving efficiency and etc: Perhaps they will finally get around to making that S/X split section of the production line capable of both S/X production (they intended to, then never did - I don't recall if this was BIW or what, but something before GA),
The original S body line takes up a lot of space and is *very* manual even compared to the X line. You could reuse a bunch of the fancy powered tools, but it would essentially have to be redesigned from scratch. Given its factory location, I think it's more likely to be used for something else (Model 3 space needs).which would let them not only free space for other things, they could instead re-configure the original S line for S&X but in a more optimal fashion (and/or, for a refresh of some kind, etc)
If anyone perceives me as extra critical of Donald Trump it’s because I am. He’s a complete jack-wagon on all levels and continues to be a huge embarrassment to this country.
@tivoboy I'm trying to sell put short, strike $300 for March that would trigger around $277 (price $39.5)
Do you think there is still chance we dive deep? Today's trading makes me think we may have turned a corner, so maybe I should just pull a trigger at current prices...
It's very simple if you are short Tesla you sell massive amounts of stock while simultaneous publishing NEGATIVE news. The novice or dumb investor wakes up LOOSING money reads the article and SELLS because the EXPERTS told him to. You and I can buy all the stocks we want without affecting the price. Big money investors and hedge funds can't do this. It takes time to build your position when you have Billions to invest so why write anything bullish. Because of this the average investor never knows about the real money making stocks like Tesla.Ding ding ding. This is a loophole which stock manipulators are driving a truck through. Take a "blog site" which explicitly *refuses* to fact-check *anything* even when verifiably false statements are reported to them. Manage to get anything published on it shoved into the Google/Yahoo/Fidelity/etc. newsfeeds. A gang of stock manipulators can then do whatever they want highly effectively.
From Vicki about the 75 S and X line. No surprise butl lets not forget more than compensates by the P3 AWD
have best friends that work there...morale isn’t good and everyone is scared. Model S/X production has slowed down considerably from what they are telling me
So we are depending on him to do something good?Looks like the "great deal maker" has boxed his rather large rear end into a box. He bowed to Pelosi on the SOTU that will cost him a few hugs from the Ann Coulter crowd. Someone needs to find a way to give the baby a pacifier so he can declare victory.
On topic as once the Gov opens and the "Gina" mess is over the stock will pop along with the rest of the Market.
That's already happening. Every Tesla has the AP hardware installed and EAP is running in shadow mode transmitting data back to the mothership, teaching the AI.Get more data... Feed the machine.
However likely introduction of Model Y would be direct competitor to lower end MX. Also, not sure why the market is so worried about tsla, removing lower end products, making fewer higher end higher margin products, and reducing work force, for most normal companies is a win on the street. Of course in opposite world, tesla gets the hammer for making normal moves which companies due to ensure profitability.This definitely does imply that demand for Model S and X is lower right now.
Which should be expected since the $7500 tax credit just expired. This happens every single time any tax credit for EVs expires anywhere in the world: higher demand just before it expires, lower demand just after, then it resumes its normal level.
Perfect time to get some more downtime on the production lines in order to tweak and improve them.
That said, I wasn't finding many of those for the latter half of last year either? At this point, S and X buyers aren't early adopters. Few were asking questions in November, or October (I check intermittently). We're well into the "not signing up for an internet forum" demographic, making it harder to extrapolate. :-(In fact, after disgusting this news I did a quick survey of the user part of this forum. I have found not a single (!) post about a US customer asking questions with an eye toward a possible S/X order, let alone someone confirming a new order after new year.
Right, I thought about it and they might be able to do that with an idle factory at night. It will be interesting to see what they do.Although there are no leaks about it I am still suspicious that they are going to try to move the S production onto the X body line, as originally planned. The original S body line takes up *oodles* of space, right in the middle of the factory, and is the most labor-intensive.

Didn't get my last buy at $277 as SP is getting on firm ground now. The storm is over IMO.

Rumors I've found:
1 -- glass roof without anti-heat coating, with cloth headliner. Sounds crazy but apparently the anti-heat coating is really expensive?
2 -- new battery pack assembly design (Elon specifically mentioned this) which was supposed to come online in late Jan (so expect late Feb) which was supposed to be cheaper and faster to assemble and lighter. No recent news on this, but I doubt it's been abandoned.
Floorspace, testing, and delivery logistics are the only other shared bottlenecks I can think of. There has been *repeated* talk of floorspace problems at Fremont, which is why I am really wondering about that original Model S Body In White line.Actually hadn't considered those shared resources recently. It's been a while since we knew what the bottlenecks were with any certainty, it could have been stamping (shared among all vehicles AFAIK?) was the bottleneck, and that a benefit of cutting the S/X 75D was freeing another bottleneck for 3 production. Or some other shared bottleneck (paint is the only one I know off the top of my head).
You need to be sure to include the word "probably"
