Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

I'm no expert, but my guess is this is for the INSIDE part of the door. The outside would still be skinned in steel or alumininium sheet.
Think about it. No inserts or extra plates to beef up where the hinges are mounted. Cast on the inside, sheet on the outside. Reinforcements for side-collision built into the design.
Far be it for me to say it's cheaper or better than stamping a door, but if Tesla figures out it is then we benefit. It would be one heck of a solid door.
Am I reading them right, that he sold over 2M shares today? That's more than the normal exercise tax selling he's been doing, right?

if you look at the timing of the “EV” (and PHEV) US federal tax subsidy from a cynical viewpoint, the tax deduction came about just as the GM Volt was getting released around 2012.
A number of years previously, before GM went bankrupt, if i recall correctly, IEEE Spectrum had an EV conference in Washington DC, September 3-5, 2008, that a few members of EVADC club went to, one of them with a 2nd generation Prius*,
(our club would exhibit EV’s at the Washington DC auto show)
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle developments in the US: Trends, barriers, and economic feasibility
There is a growing interest in Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) concepts for private, public, and utility services across the USA. This has encouraged the establishment of a number of small companies providing expertise and components for evaluation and demonstration system vehicles, and...

(*the Prius had a bunch of solar cells glued and hard wired to the roof and everywhere and would give an extra 1-2 miles range, but it worked)
there were a few other EV’s, a EV Scion from University of Delaware with a 150-200 mile range
A vice president of GM gave a talk about EV’s, that, summed up, said,
“we won’t consider anything unless we can make at least 1,000,000 units”
(GM stock was around $20/share and I sold all my GM the next day.) and
The federal tax incentive was,
$2,500 if the vehicle had at least a 5kwh battery
$417 for each additional kilowatt hour, in 12 steps, from 5kwh to 16kilowatt hours, to $7,504, capped at $7,500
this was done right around when the GM Volt first came out with its 16 kilowatt battery,
( before the enlarged it to around 18.2 or so Kwh. )
The Volt actually had about 10.1- 10.2 usable kwh, 2/3 of the battery, (from 83,000 miles use)
it’s somewhat like the tax was aimed at the Volt
if you look at the linked chart, way back in time when there were fewer EV and (PHEV, (2nd page))
you will notice even today, the PHEV have tiny batteries no matter what, most not even now getting to 16

ugh still plenty to go
i think elon just wants to rough us up a little bit to ensure we stay battle hardened…make us feel more like part of the real tesla team. you know, it’s a hard mission.

I've been shopping for a kitchen knife set with a breathalyzer built-into the knife block that would prevent chefs that have been drinking excessively from accessing anything but the bread knife. However, I'm not finding what I want. Wouldn't knife manufacturers be concerned that someone might sue them?
Are knife manufacturers really this lax about allowing such irresponsible behavior?

I called my brother Bob today, talked for a bit, hung up, and called me back. Said he just got a ticket for talking to me. He thinks it's around $200.
I ruin everything...

This is a very informative and helpful post to better understand how some of the language and programs in the BBB have so grossly ‘de-volved’ from the original Green New Deal - thank you @winfield100@kanweg

I didn't see the post, but I've written some pretty stupid things myself (in case it wasn't obvious).
Sleep it off, take a new look at things. Come back if allowed and you're ready.
Take care and keep the hope.
That got me thinking on the door skin. It makes sense, but an extra step no less. Guessing it's just too thin so it cools too quickly and would void from lack of flow? I haven't seen the finish on any of them so far, but why not the skin too?
