All I hope for is a solid climb beyond $900 - which is maybe happening right now - because I’d like to not read 83,000 posts over the coming months about the bloody battle for 300.

Tesla might need to keep all Megapack production and solar installs for the Gigafactories.

I'm looking forward to the battle for $420.69. Which, ironically, is also the battle for the new All Time High.
Yes, the simulation DOES have a sense of humor!

Prefer $1200 for extra clean...but $930 will suffice for todayfor clean math we need 900, 903,906 .....915 .....930 ....
Hmm.. $3000 would be SUPER clean. Can we manage that today?
In other news ... Björn has tested NIO ES8 with Battery Swap on 1000km challenge.
Let's forget that only 2 swap stations are open in Norway and he was ping-pong driving to exactly arrive at one below 10% .... it's 15 minutes!! on a 9h drive.
Sure - Germany is a bit out of scope here as some Germans will tell you we drive 200km/h all the time, but besides that it's amazing. I guess a Model 3 LR around 100kwh should be on par with the ES8 time as you need less stops.
And btw: this does not solve towing, as you can't swap with the trailer on the car, you have to put it down besides the swap station first - same for roof-loads I suppose.
PS: anyone remember?

At the risk of saying something positive about a shareholder proposal from the last meeting (a request for a report on water related risks which was voted down), I will say this has been on a lot of our minds for a while.They need water to cool them. A key impediment that is now beginning to threaten Tesla is that electrical energy production and natural gas supplies are both threatened by drought. Most of California will be threatened by lack of hydroelectric power, just as most of Europe already is for hydroelectric and now nuclear as well, plus the oft discussed gas shortages. Now electricity production is rapidly declining in parts of China because of hydroelectric stoppages.
Tesla, no matter how wise and creative, cannot overcome all of this.
Of course, most others will be even worse affected.
We can examine short term price issues as much as we want to. TSLA needs electricity and food supplies. just as everyone does.
I will not sell because I see no other alternative that is better. On the other hand I am doing all I can to reduce expenditures while providing liquidity to family who had very little.
Most of this can easily go to other threads. Still, the very long term risks are coming right now in almost the entire world, only a bit of the Southern Hemisphere is not yet facing calamity. These are bringing worldwide recession, by definition.
Germany cannot even get coal moving on the Rhine.
Italy loses rice, Mozzarella, and both food and agriculture:
Rhine River – Europe’s Second-Largest River – Runs Dry
Water levels on the Rhine River, Europe’s second-largest river, have continued to fall due to soaring temperatures and lack of rainfall. The low water levels are preventing many vessels from navigating through the waters at full capacity. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captured satellite images oscitechdaily.com

China Cuts Power to Factories, Homes as Reservoirs Fall
Beijing (AP) -- Factories in China’s southwest have shut down and a city imposed rolling blackouts after reservoirs to generate hydropower ran low in a worsening drought, adding to economic strains at a time when President Xi Jinping is trying to extend his hold on power.www.bloomberg.com
The Andes are melting, and what are we doing about it?
The Andes region is home to 10 percent of the world's population, but melting glaciers could dramatically transform the area forever.brazilian.report
We need not mention the catastrophe happening in the west US, nor the catastrophe caused by the floods when some rain does come.
We should recognize now that Tesla cannot escape the consequences. SpaceX isn't ready to terraform new planets for us to destroy.
Tesla does mention reduced water usage in the 2021 Impact Report regarding their new factories - but clearly, the factories, their power supplies, and their supply chains depend on water. Giga Austin appears to be doing a lot with regard to the rooftop solar, the perceived likely megapack install, and rainwater collection, all of which help reduce water needs - but this will not save the supply chains.
Agreed that Tesla with its forward focus is likely ahead of the legacy manufacturers in preparing for this challenge, but impacts may well be felt.
(We should all prepare for the flooding next; that's what has happened here in Texas anyway after months of drought, and seems to have become the new pattern.)
No MMD?
Speaking of chickens....
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To test FSD of course! How else do they train it? Duh.

Interesting, but I would expect Tesla has a larger and probably better engineering team working on the issue than a national lab. And they are certainly more familiar with the chemistry and internal structure of the batteries and it's limitations.Do we believe in this? Is this applicable for Tesla's battery chemistries?
Supercharging tweak could fill electric car batteries 90% in 10 mins
A modification to the way electric cars are charged could allow them to get 90 per cent battery from nothing in just 10 minutes. A standard approach would take half an hourwww.newscientist.com

I vote for this option.
Honestly, with the slowness of solar sales growth, I have sarcastically thought "well, at least they can get all the Gigafactory roofs covered at wholesale costs".
And given the size of those roofs (!!!), the amount of solar Tesla is putting on in Giga Austin, factoring in the expected new Gigafactories to be announced: this might really not be that insignificant of a thing. Giga Austin has precisely 1.0 metric crap-ton
of solar on board, and Giga Nevada seems to be right up there as well.Telsa, if you are listening: Just please, PLEASE get solar shading over the few Superchargers in West Texas (all the American West FFS). Cannot even touch the handles on those things in the summer since they are in the full sun. (Only partially /s.)
Sorry if this has been mentioned. E*Trade now listing the PE for Tesla below 36 and earnings of $8.31. (Growing at 50%…
)
Nice to seem them reporting the trailing 12 months instead of last full year earnings.

I think this is a good article showcasing how there is an actual market for the Tesla home/buliding HVAC system if they ever want to produce it in the future.

These should be solar pv-covered stations with storage to provide a little more capacity in these areas, or just to be good grid-supporting community members as a goodwill/PR gesture.
Edit-
@jw934 (thank you) reminds us that this is "one of those promises still to be delivered." - I hope recent events will accelerate the solarization of more stations. I didn't think the solar area of the stations would be near enough to totally power the stations, though, but it would be amazing if it was.
