A less generous reading of your experience would be that the confusion and disorganization @schonelucht reported isn't limited to the Benelux delivery centers.
Except that my service centre handles calmy delivery truck after delivery truck

Market analyst is the only job worse than a weather forecaster when it comes to accuracy and assumed credibility!I need to get a job as an analyst. I can be wrong most of the time (it seems this is the most stringent requirement) And still be "respected" as an authority.
How do these people sleep at night...or look in the mirror?
My car will be delivered in the Ghent SEC. That is the closest SEC to Zeebrugge. Less than an hour drive, even for a car carrier. A single car carrier can probably deliver 50 cars a day from Zeebrugge to Ghent, maybe double that if they can switch drivers. Maybe I should already block sunday 31 march in my calendar for a possible delivery.
The other service centers near Zeebrugge are a 1.5 or 2 hours drive away, so really, everything that’s still in Zeebrugge the last weekend of March will be dumped in Ghent.
Did you guys see this!?! Finally! Should have been the new Roadster though.....
James Bond to drive electric Aston Martin in new movie
Fresh in, just before market open:
Goldman Sachs analyst David Tamberrino reiterates a Sell rating and $210.00 price target on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).Notes:
- Believes the new information points to declines in demand for the company's high priced vehicle variants.
- Unveiling of Model Y may drive incremental reservations and help cash balances due to deposit collection.
- Expects intro of $35K variant to weight on overall automotive GMs which should be sown about 2% in 2019.
- International deliveries are not professing without some delays and there may be meaning working capital headwinds in Q1 2019.
I think I know what happened, David Tamberrino has read Adam Jones's downgrade yesterday, and said "hold my beer!".
- "New information" might be a calendar showing that we are in the first quarter of the year, when sales are softer seasonally, every single year since cars have been sold?
- 2% automotive margins ... I think he typo-ed that number and left off a zero? This must really mess with his model, and not in a good way.
- International delays: such as 10k 'in-transit' vehicles ... like Tesla guided and like absolutely everyone is expecting?
- $210 price target: now I see why he had to assume 2% automotive margins!
Stock price reaction: TSLA sharply up. Are financial markets rational after all, or did a trader enter a fat finger trade as he was laughing about Tamberrino's report?
Goldman: Tesla's earnings and deliveries likely to disappoint this quarter, so sell the stock
Well.. I mean... reading traditional medias, is there anything that's not disappointing regarding Tesla ?
Cross-overs are in Sweden most bought by older pensioners who like them for the easy ingress. The design, model names and commercials with surf boards of the crossovers are all directed at a younger demographic but that doesn't matter at all.Estate cars are generally just sedans with the rear adapted. Cross-overs are like mini SUV's, they're not as long as estates and tend to be higher, higher seating position too. They give the "impression" of off-road capability, but they have none.
haha, yeah, but come on....Bond is supposed to have the best car....no other EV out there can compare to the new Roadster....#moviefail already before movie is out.Elon said Tesla doesn't do product placement. Aston Martin probably has to pay quite a bit in order to have their car featured in the movie.
And the ability to keep the job no matter how absolutely bad they are at it.Market analyst is the only job worse than a weather forecaster when it comes to accuracy and assumed credibility!

But weather forecasting has improved over years. You are being too harsh against the weathermen.Market analyst is the only job worse than a weather forecaster when it comes to accuracy and assumed credibility!

There's only two things that I want to hear in the Model Y reveal:
- Deliveries will be starting in either Q4 '19 or Q1 '20, with full production by ~Q4 '21.
- Any evidence that tooling progress is in a much more advanced stage than the market believes.
I just don't think the volumes are there to justify the investment in having two separate manufacturing sites. Plus there has got to be some penalties associated with not meeting certain volume at Magna Steyer.
Tesla is changing the feature matrix, moving some EAP features (autopark, NoA) into the FSD option. This has the effect of allowing Tesla to actually book as revenue that portion of FSD assets.Isn't FSD revenue deferred for the time being?
Depends on where you are.But weather forecasting has improved over years. You are being too harsh against the weathermen.
What evidence could they give? Obviously Elon is going to say they are well on their way etc... just like he said in July 2017 when they hand assembled 30 cars. But evidence?
So Teslas lawyers are playing the man (So to speak) not just the field.BTW., there's a lot more depth to it, and Elon's lawyers added those layers for an entirely different purpose than just layered defense:
Basically Tesla is using the fact that the SEC is wrong on the facts and is harming both investors, Tesla and Elon for a legal attack to attempt to strip the SEC of several key powers. About 75% of the filing lays the groundwork for that.
- The reply by Elon's lawyers cites strong precedents that compells the settlement to be narrowly interpreted not just for this case, but for similar future cases as well. I.e. it's an attempt to de-fang the settlement permanently - this protects Tesla shareholders even if the constitutional aspects are not decided.
- Expert opinion from MIT accounting professor establishes facts not just for materiality, but documents the economic harm of the SEC's erroneous interpretation of the settlement caused to shareholders: 1.1 billion dollars.
- Elon volunteered a full sworn testimony of what happened, but his testimony (affidavit) is not just covering the tweet, but is carefully outlining the harm the SEC's erroneous interpretation does and did, which prepares the next step:
- Their constitutional arguments are not primarily defense (the SECs case fails robustly on the facts and on established law already), but offense: Elon's filing is an attempt to strip the SEC's power to harrass Tesla through contempt of court proceedings permanently, by setting a precedent that raises the bar for the SEC significantly.
It's a rather ingenuous approach, which even you as a lawyer missed.
The SEC certainly didn't miss it: this attack is why IMO the SEC panicked yesterday and asked not for a contempt hearing but for a reply brief, which is not the usual procedure of contempt proceedings AFAIK.
So it's not just legal mumbo jumbo:
It's highly unlikely that she will skip the details, because this is not a usual judge: the federal judge hearing Elon's case, Judge Alison Julie Nathan, is a top lawyer and judge with an outstanding background, she clerked on the 9th circuit and on the U.S. Supreme Court, then she worked as White House counsel and assistant to Barack Obama:
Judge Alison Julie Nathan (S.D. New York) – CourtListener.com
Her ruling yesterday (adding two more rounds of filings and adding an evidentiary hearing before the contempt hearing) suggests that she wants to approach this case methodologically and broadly.
- She was clerk to the 9th Circuit, one of the most important circuits in the U.S. (2000-2001),
- She was a clerk to Justice Stevens at the U.S. Supreme Court (2001-2002),
- She was associate White House counsel and special assistant to President Barack Obama (2009-2010)
A broad case is absolutely not what the SEC wanted: they wanted a quick ruling holding Elon in contempt, then they wanted sanctions ... (I expect the SEC's reply brief to attempt to narrow the case back on various procedural grounds.)
(BTW., you heard it here first: I believe if there's a Democratic victory in 2020 Judge Alison Julie Nathan will be one of the candidates to be nominated to the Supreme Court.)
I believe she was waiting for a high profile case with constitutional arguments like this, which case has the potential to set important precedents.
Actually she is a very intelligent lady and a fantastic teacher. She just doesn't know any better and all she hears is the BS. The experience really kind of shocked me.
