Do all of the pedestals at these sites have CCS connectivity? Or some subset?
And yet, it's still the highest-output auto factory in the country IIRC.
That says more about the other auto factories than it does about Fremont's efficiency.

That “wiper” is the boom crane above it.
My comment is more of a joke by saying if no one uses EA, their maintenance goes to zero because no one will complain about broke chargers so they will only get free money to install more.

Just imagine how much better it would be if it wasn't inefficient in layout. GF Austin likely will be 2-3x Fremont.
Awesome. The Supercharger in the video is right near me. I might have to buy a Bolt for research purposes.Select Superchargers in the US are now open to other EVs as per Official Tesla Charging Twitter account.
It’s all coming together! Tomorrows going to be a good day
....nah
Maybe the "other" factories have to keep changing the product line while Tesla sticks to one finely tuned process, right down to limiting paint colors.
The more you jack with a process (add this, change that, different color, add this kit and that kit), the slower the throughput. Plus, if they use SAP it can take a long time to switch things up, takes 14 planners, then stabilize the process again. Would be a good comparison, change orders per 1K units? More I think of it, shop floor control was Tesla home grown system designed exactly for their products - no SAP involved, especially the shop floor controls. Not to sound too neg on SAP, they make good golf caps and was better than some VAX system of the past. But it's generic so you (and half your staff) have to figure out how to make it fit your scenario.
(Edit, OK feeling guilty for saying all that about SAP. I do believe a custom tailored process is better just from talking to some retired SAP experts from my world. They are paid quite handsomely, but provide zero output to production. I'm sure it works for many, I'll stop my poking now...)

Generally accepted accounting principles require that inventory be valued at the lesser amount of its laid-down cost and the amount for which it can likely be sold — its net realizable value (NRV). This concept is known as the lower of cost and net realizable value, or LCNRV.

I don’t think price increases should invalidate a bet any more than further price decreases would have.
That being said, I’m not sure if you have much in the way of recourse beyond exposing him, as you have already done.
Elon gets zero credit for running Tesla well. Likely different circumstances, but Tesla is still really well managed and run.
Some of the roadsters almost certainly we’re sold at negative gross margin. But Elon pulled out the whip along with his brains and things turned around fairly rapidly.
I would argue it should have been easier for Rivian. They had plenty of pre orders and it was easy to raise investor dollars. Unfortunately they lack financial discipline as well as engineering prowess (the cars are great, but they lack the engineering prowess to build them at scale).
All. 8/8 or 12/12 at the ones in NY.

Mostly Harmless
A wager always has an element of risk, and it can ofttimes be a gamble as well, but not always.
There was a meeting of the minds to the terms and the bet was agreed to and made public.
The honorable thing to do is wait for the Earnings Report and then someone buys someone else a share.
On occasion a bettor may adopt a behavior that is often referred to by a derogatory application of the term used to describe people from Wales. Generally, such behavior is considered less honorable.
...and sometimes there is this to consider as well

How is it used for a Tesla? Does it "undock" without the App as usual, or we'd need the App to use them?
This YouTube video was shared by the Limiting factor:-
Not new information, but an interesting take on Toyota and Tesla.
Mobile service came here today in a blue Model S, nicest service department vehicle I have ever seen.
So far both times I have needed service, it has been mobile service at home with warranty and recall repairs done for $0, in around an hour, with zero effort from me,
This time I wandered out and talked to the guy for a few minutes, but it was obvious he needed to finish up the paper work and get on to the next job.
Both times service has come within a few days of making the booking.
Those who haven't used it, don't know how good mobile service can sometimes be
