Market makers. If it closes above 174 it will likely rally above 180 by Fridays close. If it closes below 167 it will likely fall to the low 150's. It's all high frequency trading manipulation. Hardly anyone is buying or selling until it breaks above support (174) or below (167).More sellers than buyers?
Many of us are viewing paint shops in traditional context. Those are no longer quite so restrictive as they were. Notwithstanding that, pigment and other ingredients are rapidly evolving. Some of the newest materials can be and are more expensive than the traditional, (primers, pigments , etc that necessitate rework and human processing ). But..labor costs, preparation costs, rework costs, paint usage, water usage all are reduced. Operating flexibility also can permit much simplified batching. Above all, dramatic new colors yielding higher prices are now possible without commensurate cost increases.It won't work like that. The demand for the car will be caused by its $25,000 price. Colours won't be something you choose. (in my suggested situation)
Manufacturing volume will make it OK to support more than the 5 colours they have now.
Doesn't have to be 12 different colours... or more than 12 - they could cycle around 9 paint colours. If you want to keep driving what you've got and wait for a colour you're happy with to get sold, that's up to you (and you can keep paying for gasoline while you wait). I'm suggesting that one of the ways Tesla will keep the price down to $25,000 is by painting only in one colour for an entire month. Then switching to something else. At this price level there will be enough buyers. First colour out of the gate will be white of course. In fact they will probably cycle around colours that are similar to what Tesla currently ships, plus a few more.
And the FUD machine has had plenty of material to feed itself from over the years, but somehow Tesla has gotten to a 2million/yr run rate. FUD machine not creating a lot of fear, uncertainty or doubt IMO
Problem is it is one company here for both NG and electricity.
And if you just stopped paying, I'm sure they would put it on your credit report, sue you in small claims court, etc. The could make life very difficult.
Ummm...You know there is a hard pull on your credit when you sign up for TMC right? right??For all I know, I may not even have a credit score.
$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.
If Tesla has 2 paint shops for 1m vehicles in Shanghai, won't they need 5ish for Mexico? Presumably that would almost get rid of batching unless each paint shop has much more throughput than we have seen historically.Many of us are viewing paint shops in traditional context.

Noe of that means Tesla will stop batching, nor does it suggest they'll offer endless variations, although they could without much extra cost. They probably will not because collision repair will be vastly more difficult with the newest colors because they are developed and executed using technology that cannot easily be deployed to body shops. The result, for perfect results is color matching in the factory for replacement panels. THAT is both expensive and difficult. Due to that unpleasant reality, Tesla will probably never offer the myriad colors they could do. Further, building and stocking many color and equipment variants ends out being costly, and Tesla is dedicated to cost reduction.
In sum, Tesla has the technology to produce a vast variety of colors without much extra cost. The reasons they will not are all about stocking and post-sale repairs.
Continued production, delivery, and sales of EVs for a profit. Market had temporarily forgot about this but has since remembered.TSLA had 6 dollar drop in minutes. What happened

Sure, but that only prevents you from using their electricity. It doesn't stop them from charging the monthly base rate, which is what is supposed to be income based if I recall correctly. (Which I think was proposed to be up to $85/month just for being connected to the grid if your household made $180k/year.)
Wait... did I miss something? : Is there a new color for X and S? I'm waiting to buy another S LR or a Plaid, but need new color. I would gladly have the silver color that I have on my 2018 S. It was discontinued shortly after I bought that car.It's not quite that simple. The new paint shops must be fully integrated in the overall factory OS in order to allow full flexibility. The easiest analogy is to changeover to a gigacasting for front and rear Model Y and Model 3, Those take time and serious systems integration, testing and production testing.
Until now the Geico Taikisha new plants were thought to require new factories. The present rumor is that even Fremont may end out with those capabilities and has already been in limited use. One possible clue is the new color for Models S and X.
It is also possible that Tesla has managed to shortcut the limitations that have historically been attributed to California paint environmental restrictions.
Sometime soon we may well have more answers from Tesla. In the meantime the new shops in Berlin and Austin must be already saving money due to reduced labor, rework, priming as well as lessened paint and water use.

But it doesn't really have anything to do with solar. (You pay the higher income based rate even if you don't have solar.)In SDG&E territory, it's up to $126/mo for connectivity, for households with 180k or higher annual income.
Guts solar, instantly.
So in a nutshell . . . the IRA is indirectly funding the next 5-6 Gigafactories.
I can live with that.

They do say the per kWh cost would drop by 30-40% as a result, so it isn't quite as bad as it seems. (I guess that would make solar less attractive.)
