As may be, but it’s the first public assessment of IRA benefits on the automakers I’ve seen, other than what we’ve seen here on TMC for many months. But even then, the note provides a lot of new analysis on the impact on Ford and GM. If this doesn’t impact the stock price, nothing will!

I didn't think that you could legally disconnect from the grid in California.
But maybe something has changed since 2016.
EV2-A on PG&E for us on NEM2 is a moving target. Back in 2019:Good to see progress in some early mover nation states. I don’t see the great nation of California on that chart
It’s stupid expensive for gas here…but $.48/kw?! Hard to believe that we can’t do better. I have free charging on my car; but I’ve talked a lot of people into EV’s around here. Sometimes I feel like the savings from fuel will not be a worthwhile trade off for some
—Edit to add and answer a member question about home rates.
Our home rates are $.32 off peak and $.39 peak. My solar production sells to PGE at $.11.
It’s an absolute nightmare for PGE solar/ev customers here. Luckily I built a large and magnificent solar system; so annually I still only pay $500 for electricity. But the fact that I pay anything is truly absurd. Until I get batteries. They’re inbound. And they’re not tesla. That’s another story. China batteries are so cheap; for the diy guy tesla home batteries are a bit out of touch on pricing.
Total Energy Rates
PEAK Summer $0.46883 Winter $0.34172
OFF-PEAK $0.15633 winter $0.15633
PART-PEAK 0.35834 winter $0.32503
then they changed it and per https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHEDS_EV2 (Sch).pdf it now is
$0.25 off peak
Peak summer 0.57098 winter $0.44387
Mid peak summer 0.46049 winter $0.42717
Off peak summer 0.25847 winter $0.25847
Off peak is midnight to 3pm, part peak is 3-4pm, peak 4-9, part peak 9-midnight
So my home batteries charge from solar until 3pm and after that I am battery consumption only until midnight.

Yes, in the past 1 year there have been some legal challenges and people testing this, and it has been allowed. But until the past year, you are correct.
In my case, I would need 2 more powerwalls, and a backup power source (mixed fuel generator) to get through those weeks in the winter when we have a string of days with minimal sun. But, there is a supercharger 3 miles from the house, so in a pinch I would not need enough power to charge the cars, just the house.

+ $3000 Ultra Red is now the only red available for Model S and X. Multi-coat red still is the only red available for 3 and Y. Saw the Ultra Red yesterday on an S in the showroom. It looks a lot like the old candy apple red on the 2011 Model S prototype.

There are not many things I am tankful for about living in NJ, but energy prices are one of them. No peak pricing and comparatively very cheap (currently .094781)
Totally unrelated, just got an email from Tesla Solar that they now have 15yr financing terms available. Should help lower the monthly cost that might have been a barrier for some.
Don’t know about other countries, but Belgium and The Netherlands now have dynamic tariff price plans. With all the solar and wind energy in those countries, there are plenty of times in the week where charging your car is significantly cheaper than the regular price. So you can basically charge cheaply from the electricity the neighbours are generating with their solar panels. Even though the weather is cloudy today, and we’re still only beginning of may, although it’s a weekday, 1PM-5PM is now the cheapest time of day to charge your car in Belgium and The Netherlands if you have a dynamic tariff. This will only become cheaper in the future. But not many people know this.

I was just reading about that. I’m honestly to the point now that I don’t believe him and there’s more to the story.This guy never learns his lesson:
Black ex-Tesla worker awarded $3.2 million in a racial harassment case is seeking a new trial, saying 'poisonous messaging' made proceedings unfair
Owen Diaz is seeking a new trial against Tesla over racial harassment claims after his payout was diminished from $137 million to only $3.2 million.www.businessinsider.com
$137 mil judgement - slashed to $15 mil. Wasn't good enough for him, so he went back to court to go after Tesla for more, jury awarded him $3.2 mil. And the rumor on that judgement is that there was additional evidence that Tesla uncovered that would have likely essentially brought the judgement down to ZERO, but they were not allowed to introduce that evidence late in the trial. At a re-trial, that evidence would be fair game.
His lawyers must be foaming at the mouth, they are the only ones making out here.
I think there was back and forth ‘jawing’ between him and other employees of other ethnicities; at first ‘playful’ and meant in good humor that subsequently escalated. I think he’s as much to blame as others.
I’ve always felt something was up when even as he was supposedly suffering from harassment, he was encouraging a family member to work there. That made no sense to do if it was just that awful to work there via a third party contractor. Yeah, remember he was never a Tesla employee. He was contracted as an elevator operator via a third party.
First he turns down 15 million that means he’d never have to work again and be subjected to workplace harassment, allow him to move anywhere, travel, start a non-profit to support others suffering from racially motivated attacks or work on bringing racial awareness to the world, or, or, or. Instead, he turns it down!? And now a third lawsuit!?
Yeah, he deserves nothing.

Only problem is that when prices go negative and you have solar you basically have to disconnect to avoid paying for dumping your kWh into the grid

I mean, it was pretty clear and has always been pretty clear you can have any color for your Tesla as long as its black.Just a guess, but maybe it was because "no" was the response, when asked if those colors were coming to the US?
Additionally, CyberTruck - no paint.
But hey, maybe Tesla does a complete 180 with the next generation of cars coming out of Mexico and the cars will come in a traditional bright, eye catching, Hispanic color palette. That’ll be special.
I’m not sure it is possible in Belgium to have negative injection tariffs, even with a dynamic tariff. It’s certainly a good idea to add a battery if you have solar panels and a dynamic tariff.Only problem is that when prices go negative and you have solar you basically have to disconnect to avoid paying for dumping your kWh into the grid
A few weeks ago we had negative electricity rates (including taxes) for a few hours in the middle of the day. There was a lot of sun and wind. That meant that if you charged your car during those hours you were being paid! I know of someone with the dynamic tariff who turned on every electric appliance in their house to make a few bucks. I don't expect such abuse to become the new normal, but with smart planning driving an EV can become very cheap.
More signs that the 1-july ICE-doomsday is near in Belgium:
Companies are paying fines for early termination of lease contracts, and instead are ordering hybrids for personnel that isn’t ready to switch to EVs. That can be cheaper than ordering the car after the 1 July deadline. Some popular hybrids now have delivery wait times of a year.
T-51 days and counting.

I heard from a low level Tesla employee just the other day that those colors (Midnight Cherry and QuickSilver) were coming to the US, but I dont put much weight in that actually being true.Just a guess, but maybe it was because "no" was the response, when asked if those colors were coming to the US?

It was my understanding that the paint shops for Berlin and Austin are different in such a way that the Berlin color process cannot be run on Austin's equipment.

The skeptic in me wonders if someone with deep pockets is funding this just to keep the negative press on Tesla, and this guy gets paid something good regardless.
Again, the skeptic in me, but . . .
It makes sense the new colors are coming to the states. Its another demand lever. IMO, just wait till new design make over.
And if the new paint booth at Austin could not paint the same colors as Berlin, someone would be fired already.
Ah, I thought the Austin one was essentially the same. If not, then I can see why not
