Interesting part, that both incidents happened in the same area:

Someone dumped lots of shares yesterday, then all of the momo traders, shorts, weak longs joined the dumping spree. Looking at the chart, Tesla finds a bottom around 23rd of each month. Pretty suspicious

Changing colours on your phone is a tad cheaper than changing colours on your car.

So it begins...
I believe that all the big electronic/tech companies will have their own EV's in the near(10-15 year) future.
Apple, Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Siemens, and such.
They will copy Tesla as much as possible which will probably be fine since the market is so large.

Is that engineered in to make it seem just like what they are stuck with in their ICE cars like their fake engine sounds? I've never had a hesitation in my Model X. Thankfully Tesla doesn't have to downgrade the EV experience so as not to kill off polluting car sales.

When I walked the dog down past the local surf spot I noticed a 30-ish surfer suiting up and pulling her board out of the back of a black Model 3. I casually ask how she likes her Tesla:
"It's amazing, the car gets software updates that make it better. I can control the AC for my dog when I step into a store. I used to always own Hondas. I wish everyone could have one of these".
OTA and Dog Mode FTW. You never know what it's gonna be:
MPGe, 5-star safety? environment? tech? OTA? AP? etc. But Tesla is on a path to remove any reasons for someone to buy any car but a Tesla.

Could it be ~200 ms of gear shifting lag of Porsche's 2-speed transmission: normally the car would be in 2nd gear for efficiency, but shift to 1st gear for acceleration?
Tesla doesn't have a transmission, so no gear shifting lag.

Because Tesla isn't competing with BMW; they're competing with Toyota. As the great one's dad said, "skate to where the puck is going, not to where it is".

"What really matters to accelerate a sustainable future is being able to scale up production volume as quickly as possible. That is why Tesla engineering has transitioned to focus heavily on designing the machine that makes the machine -- turning the factory itself into a product. A first principles physics analysis of automotive production suggests that somewhere between a 5 to 10 fold improvement is achievable by version 3 on a roughly 2 year iteration cycle. The first Model 3 factory machine should be thought of as version 0.5, with version 1.0 probably in 2018.

Elon really, really is not thinking about your colour choice. He's thinking about your choice of futures.

OT;
So here's an idea (that has perhaps been thought of already): Why don't gas stations install high powered chargers (as high as they had voltage/amperage available...) and sell charging for a profit? No, I mean a real profit. I've noticed that when traveling I pay on the average the equivalent of about $1.00 a gallon for electricity (example-if driving a gas car 300 miles cost its driver $30, that same distance would only cost a Model 3 owner $10 (I know; rough estimate). If I needed to charge, and knew that there was a gas station was ahead (from my navigation app) where I could get charged enough to get me where I needed to go, I'd be more than happy to pay 3X as much for the privilege and convenience of using their charger. Still no more than what others pay for gas! And I think I'm not alone in this. Think about it. The gas station is there anyway, doing what they've always done; sell gas and food, etc. And they already have electricity. They just need to put a few chargers off to the side by the air & water hoses, and they can make profit from selling electricity as well! Heck, they could charge whatever they wanted. Let's face it; they already charge more for milk, beer, wine, etc. than the local supermarket does. That's why they call it a convenience store! Most of us wouldn't stop to charge there unless we had to, knowing that Superchargers charge less, and that it's cheaper to charge at home. Is my logic off on this in some way?
Imagine if there were as many charging stations when we travel as there are gas stations! More in fact, considering the large network of Tesla Superchargers, and other charging stations, which don't sell gas!

It is above the rear view mirror in the middle, on the ceiling between the cabin lights.
I don't see why they would do that. Gas stations make almost no profit on gas, it's all about getting you in to buy a soda or cigarettes. EV drivers, even with V3 (or even faster future speeds) will be an even better source of revenue for that stuff because it will be a 10-40 minute charging session. Wawa is adding Tesla superchargers for a reason.
An older article but still relevant for those who want to understand better why short selling is pressing Tesla down despite fundamentals getting better and better every day.

From the same article-
"One thing I did notice early on was that, when in “Range” mode, if I hammered the throttle, there was a tiny bit of hesitation before the electric thrusters shot the Taycan down the street.
Whether this was because of a downshift, I’m unsure, but in Sport and Sport Plus mode, hammering the throttle brought instant punishment to my neck muscles.

That makes no sense. You claim that gasoline is what drives Wawa's profits but everyone is switching to electric. Then you say even if they attract EV drivers, there won't be enough of them! See what you did there?
Did you know for a small fraction of the cost to install legacy gas pumps they can also install Superchargers?
Wawa's not going bankrupt anytime soon.
