Interesting that this isn't listed as being a limited edition. (And hasn't gone out of stock yet.) The scalpers that bought a bunch and put them on eBay immediately may end up stuck with them, or selling them for a loss.Get your belts ready!

you don’t think pre market sell off prior to the uncertainty Is a possibility?
I don't see any knock offs on ebay. I do see people selling them for $300. Not sure why as it has not sold out yet. And it might not ever.Interesting that this isn't listed as being a limited edition. (And hasn't gone out of stock yet.)

Profit should be really good on these, the knock-offs, which look really close to the real thing, were selling for ~$30 on eBay.
Most folks, even the investors on this forum, don't appreciate the scope of work that's ahead. Entire countries are rolling up to Tesla this week looking for storage solutions to all the solar and wind they already have in place.
Shouldn't it have already been there and therefore no outage? Why is this even a thing there...
It is hard to find them now as eBay is flooded with the real thing. But here is a knock-off:

Automotive manufacturing plants are notoriously high energy consumers… more so than one would expect. Its not just the heavy manufacturing body shop or the final assembly but often the paint shop uses the MOST energy overall. And that is just the energy that goes into direct costs for manufacturing. In a giant large usually open space bigger often than giant aircraft hangers, just HEATING the place for the employees is a massive energy suck. Oddly, paint shop is often the overall highest consumer since air handing is such a priority in order to keep air particles out for quality spray and having no impurities in the paint jobs. It’s also very cavernous (like a manufacturing facility overall) and that too has to be quite precisely temperature controlled - again like the big open manufacturing facility space. All large consumers of energy. Much of this is high voltage electricity but a plant will certainly use nat gas to create the heat required for plant operations during the colder months. Freemont certainly has more stable temperature for the winter months, compared to say southern or east Germany, but laws of thermodynamics say - bigger open volume of air require more energy to change temp, up or down. up is actually harder and requires more energy than down.
There are few times when I have used the word FUGLY for a car and certainly probably less than 1 or 2 with BMW’s (having owned four starting with an ‘88 M3 - MAN I should have never sold that car)
hahaha, I know I know. But like, batteries is their thing...I think they have some storage there right? or is that Nevada? I'm just saying one would think a company selling storage would not have this problem...You may have heard, but battery cells are in short supply. You can either build cars at Fremont with those cells, or keep the lights on (but then build no cars).
Fremont's power outage will be a matter of hours. It will not affect quarterly output (bottleneck is parts supply, not GA). People love to get overdramatic.
Didn't check, but did this 'news' come from a certain 'woodcutter' twit?
Pile that award up next to the Level 3 autonomy award for Mercedes EQS that has a whole bunch of fine print written all over it. Nothing on Rivian, I think they'll do fine. But apparently just being able to prototype a vehicle is all you have to do to have it be considered a contender for a vehicle of the year category. Nikola needs to take notes.
