Actually on the west coast, most people get in very early and leave early-to beat the traffic. No one works into the late afternoon when its sunny, and that is usually all the time...Well, not even 2:30 pm on West coast. Folks must be just getting to the Tesla office by now
Hmm, some Yogi Berra going on there...

All good, except Gov't of Canada has put a price cap limit which excludes all vehicles over $45,000 CAD.
How much is a base M3 in Canada? $47,600 CAD. So no Tesla vehicles qualify for the $5,000 rebate.
This is no different than Volkswagon lobbying German Gov't to exclude all EVs greater in length than three inches less than that of the M3.
It is intentional, both a swipe at Tesla, no doubt.

Well, spoken like a true SoCal person
PS: there was more rain in SF than in Seattle this year !
I expect that the options related implied volatility will remain high though the judge's verdict in the SEC case. That may not come this week. The IP could continue to be rather elevated until after the Q1 earnings release.

Doesn't Canada have an election this year that might bring an end of these initiatives?

Heard Phil LeBeau on Fast Money talking about how if Tesla delivers 55k M3, as per consensus, then the stock will rally.
Ha, ha... What will happen if it is 60k or more?
Either the media is clueless or we bulls are... will see soon enough!

The second posted quote may provide the answer for the first one.

I got an email from my broker (Charles Schwab) yesterday informing me that since the previous deadline for the MXWL tender offer expired and the offer was extended, I must re-tender my shares if I wanted to accept the new deadline. Kind of weird since they were shown as tendered (symbol 577992209) last Friday which was already well past the previous expiration. This probably throws a wrench in the works of getting enough shares tendered - it's likely that some people will get automatically un-tendered and won't know they need to re-tender their shares.

For those of you waiting to buy your Tesla thinking pricing will drop, case in point:
Back in 2012 I could have bought a new MS for $49,900 CAD. Today, the least expensive new MS from Tesla is $114,800 CAD.
Mind you back in 2012 that was for a 40kWh battery and CAD to USD parity.
It would not surprise me at all if the prices for M3 hold their value or continue to rise once people see the value of the best vehicle in the World.
Back in 1984, I had a neighbour that bought a new Honda Prelude, when Honda was considered inferior compared with the US Domestic Autos. Well, three years later he sold it for more than what he originally paid for his car. Fast forward to today and Tesla.

Is there good reason to think the Canadian gov is designing a program that would purposely exclude Tesla? or is it more to encourage a broader base of growth for other manufacturers that aren't as far along? or perhaps based on an estimated cost to the Canadian treasury given the number of cars they think would qualify? I mean, we're used to the U.S. gov being anti-green (at least much of the rhetoric from DC is) but you Canucks are supposed to be progressive... ; )
The more I watch, the more I wonder if production numbers are leaking.
From what I remember, there’s a limit to the number of cars that credit will cover, and I think it was low enough that Tesla would eat up all of it in ~1 year.
