On the flipside: why would Tesla need to communicate the product, when the product sells itself? Word of mouth is extremely powerful, far more effective than stealerships. They're a drain on profts and not necessary for a brand like Tesla. And then there is new media like YouTube, reviews on the internet. You better not be one of those concern-bears who thinks Tesla has demand problem.

That's brilliant. If original name is no good, how about "TeslaKilla" instead ...
I made no comments on the curves. My only comment was on environmental impact. Do you even know why the founders throw their life away and work on a start-up that had almost no chance of surviving?That is a high bar! What makes it so ludicrous? Let's say that the price decrease does not matter to 95% of buyers. They would have bought the car anyway. So effectively they sold 0.05 more cars per $1100 (I feel thats pretty generous). So which has more of an environmental affect: 1 new Tesla on the road or $22 000ish donation to a charity? Ironically, you could almost donate a Tesla for that.
That is all assuming of course that Tesla is demand constrained...
They have not needed to do this so far. Why would they when production was the limiting factor?
But yes, after the initial wave of SR demand is met they will need to start working on that. Fortunately the other makers are assisting with their own EV advertising. FWIW personal interaction is far more valuable than ads. If you know somebody who owns a Tesla that makes you more likely to buy one than seeing a commercial. The hurdle is that people know Ford, they know Audi. They have been buying that brand for decades or longer. Dealerships don't help sell cars. They are a legacy from the time before the internet. Now they only exist to do warranty service and move cars off the manufacturer's balance sheet onto their own.
Tesla is already outselling BMW in the US. Even without changing their ad model it seems likely they can do the same globally. That's not a bad starting point from which to really branch out.
Reminds me of a childhood joke about a perp in front of the bench: "Murder her? Honest, judge, I was only trying tequila."

Uh... there are claims that Model 3 orders in China are "in the hundreds".
Seems unlikely but dropping the price and adding Autopilot don't instill confidence.

Liquor?! I don’t even know ‘er!
Right... which is why they have three ships en route, including one that just left?

I'm sure they conveniently ignored that information.
They might have also conveniently had a hole drilled in their heads.

So, Elon just posted, then deleted, a d*ck pic on Twitter.
(Prepare for a short-seller freakout...)
It all started when John Durant posted a 7-part tweet about what's going on with Jeff Bezos, and CC'ed Elon:
This ultimately led to Elon responding with a (now deleted) d*ck pic.
So... brace yourselves.

You can’t just come here and say ‘there are claims that...’. Provide sources or it’s just FUD. And if the sources are FUD, then, well...
Hopefully Elon’s contribution will not become a big deal. Ps John Durants PSA is worth a read.So, Elon just posted, then deleted, a d*ck pic on Twitter.

SA isn't a "source". It's where someone might write something that they want others to read, but it's not a "source" for anything. If you don't want to link what you read that in on SA, then care to mention what the author's source was?
I imagine that this video was intended to bash Musk over the crime of not spending half his life commuting in traffic and/or waiting at airports for a seat in coach. But I find it both amusing and educational nonetheless

Looks like he's getting his money's worth from that private jet.

They claim it is from JL Warren Capital, but amazingly there is no clear source/link.
