Red-flag raises

What I'm thinking... With Eu/China demand still fresh and SR revealed...They surely have more orders now than they can handle.
So, the March production rate should show their current max capacity, no? What are your bets, 7k, 8k?

Losing the stores and so the capacity to offer test drives may be a small issue. Hard to gauge. But, has anybody suggested some sort of new test drive referral program. It doesn't have to offer crazy rewards like before. Heck, I'm sure many current owners would be happy to do it for nothing. Tesla certainly has capability to set up such a system via the app or website. It would not be initiated by the owner, but by Tesla, by matching prospective customers with nearby owners.

Not here the better tire shops (not chains) have some good people and equipment. The are also a good bit cheaper than Tesla as well.
It is bananas to me that a well known short seller has posted the transcript of the call, and Tesla IR has not released an official transcript or more simply an audio recording.
Every Tesla shareholder should send them a copy of this (potentially doctored) transcript and lodge a complaint.
All investors should have fair access to relevant publicly disclosed information.

Soooo, introducing a long awaited variant of a certain model drops the stock price 8 percent. Whadayafigur. Announce semi production drops it another 20, model Y another 30 and the possible city car maybe another 30. Heck. A few more model and expansion announcements and we’ll be at 10 bucks.
The above, all sarcastic, frustration driven poor humour. Really, I luv Elon and want to have his children except for the fact that
A. I’m too old for him
B. I’m a dude
C. My wife would kick his ass. ( she’s an ex soldier soooo. )
We would love to own a Tesla Model 3 someday but need to wait until this Chademo adapter thing is sorted out. In our province CCS and Chademo are being built out much more widely and rapidly than Supercharger ever will be. Regardless of what we buy and our personal EV needs, we want and need this company and man to succeed.

Even when ARK Invest was selling rises in Tesla, it remained their #1 holding. Their buying Tesla today may quiet some of those who had been questioning ARK's portfolio rebalancing policy. Here's a video that ARK published on Tuesday.

If Tesla has sales people they should give them a loaner car as part of their compensation. I have been dismayed with how few of the sales people really know the cars. Driving them for a few weeks would remedy that.

Test drives are not needed.
What, are you going to test it and say:
"Well this drives smoother, faster and funner than any other ICE car...
That's not for me!"
Just buy the damn thing I tell my friends.
A test drive only makes it more painful to wait for it to be delivered.

Wow, that is a gorgeous barren room! I like that the factual basis is pictures off the internet, I mean that can't be wrong.
Indeed, especially when buying the Nissan you'd be driving a Leaf, but when you bought a model 3, you'd be driving a Tesla!
Not necessarily. It was only a couple of weeks ago numeric battery size was removed. None of us know for sure, could be new battery tech that saves big money, maybe the battery is smaller but motors are now the more efficient DC motors? Things may have changed allowing the S and X prices to be reduced yet the margins the same.

Raise your hand if someone you know has said to you, "Hey, I'm thinking about buying a Tesla" and your response was, "Great, let's go drive to the Tesla store."
I mean, seriously, that's not how it works.
No, you throw them into your car and make their eyes bleed with acceleration. You turn on auto-pilot for them. You go through every cool bell and whistle on the console.
Tesla's will be sold by other Tesla owners. At car shows. At meetups.
I really don't think not having a show-room is some kind of deal breaker.
Moreover, if this lets Tesla undercut the price of all of their competitors, so much the better.
The days when someone would point and gasp on the freeway going, look, it's a Tesla, oh my god, are over. They are ubiquitous. They are everywhere. How hard is it, really, to just ask someone else who owns a Tesla to show off their car?
This doesn't really seem like the giant huge big deal that people are making it out to be.

So, bonds paid off:
Tesla pays off $920 million convertible bond in cash
Anyone have a link to what a presume is the simultaneous Chapter 14 1/2 bankwuptcy filing?

I called a dozen tire places in the Asheville area and only one said they could do a Tesla. When I got there I was told that I had been misinformed and they couldn't do it.
Interestingly this week alone, I have given two test drives to near strangers. One ordered a LR Model 3 this morning, the other likely will order very soon.

“Tesla's stock hasn't traded at or above $359 in weeks, which meant the company had to pay in all-cash rather than half-stock and half-cash as it previously intended.”
CITATION NEEDED. Last I heard, this claim effectively came from nowhere at all.

I thought the whole point of Tilburg assembly was to bypass 10% tariff?
This tragic death would be the first Model 3 fatality, or no?
