Or as per Bary Glack’s wishes, Tesla has reconstituted its PR department or his infamous Twitter overhang has lifted
Yes, sorry I neglected to include you in the address my friend!

V4 Superchargers already have longer connection cables. The limiting factor for v3 sites will continue to be their grid connection. Look for more new sites with Megapack support, which will also make money for Tesla through arbitrage when grid power is cheap and the SuC site isn't busy.

Thought I remembered something like that. So why does everyone think Ford and GM payed anything then?Tesla announced back in November of 2022 anybody who want to use the standard can- so it's not a question of them needing to "let" anyone build their own stations.
Tesla can take the money that they're making from this and put superchargers all over the place. It would be like having a monopoly on gas stations.
Then if they can figure a way to give Tesla owners a lower price to supercharge than other types of automobiles, it might cause more people to buy a Tesla instead of a Ford or GM.

Well, since we all feel like sharing today, by necessity I had to sell about 10% of my portfolio below $200.
Not a disaster, but it hurt!
I don't think it ever was, was it?TSLA After-hrs Volume was 10,015,844 shares by 6:13 pm ET.
Anybody care to guess when the LAST time TSLA volume was this high after-hours?
Tomorrow gonna be a large day...

That's actually not correct now at least, plus Good Mary was negative on the day before this announcement, so one more good thing because of Tesla!<snip>
Just look at GM stock. They are up more AH than TSLA.

Have you ever done an analysis to see whether you're losing money by overtrading every time the wind changes direction? If not, good for you! (rare trader), but how much vacation time does it cost you?
Meanwhile, HODL'ing here with 62% CAGR over the past 5 years... and no ulcers...
Cheers to the Longs!
Wall Street is now realizing that like "Our Love", Tesla is "here to stay".

Just to be clear, NACS is free for anyone to implement. Any license/royalty fee would only be for access to the Tesla API and/or Supercharger network. (Which is separate from NACS.)
They did that the second they made NACS open. In fact we have heard recently that CPOs have been wanting to add NACS to their chargers, but cables weren't available yet. Cables are supposed to be available early next year. I think EVgo even made an announcement recently that they would be adding NACS to their chargers next year. (Makes sense as they are a GM partner.)
I would think that other CPOs will likely do the same now. ChargePoint, EA, Shell Recharge, CircleK, Blink!, FLO, FreeWire, etc. (But that will likely depend on their charging hardware vendor making the cables available as an option, and why wouldn't they.)
After hours SP is up almost $10 now. EDIT: up over $12 now

While we are still down a decent amount from the highs, and I'm in the same boat as others who are admitting losses due leverage/options/stupidity, I'm just giddy with excitement. And I'm sure I'll stay that way all evening and night and wake up early tomorrow morning to watch the ticker and (hopefully) maintain the giddiness through tomorrow and the weekend.
As @Artful Dodger always says, 'Cheers to the Longs!'
Stay giddy my friends.

Just wanted to mention this. As a relatively long-time observer of Tesla and Musk, the company (and Musk) have repetitively stated that, "The Supercharger network is not a profit center."
The money received, then, apparently goes into:
1. Paying for electricity
2. Paying for upkeep and repairs
3. Paying for more superchargers
And not into making $$$ for Tesla.
The idea: Make the cost of charging the car as small as possible.. so people can buy more cars.
So: Based upon this, when Ford and GM join the fun, they won't be making tons of money on Superchargers, either: But they will be selling more cars. And that's the point.

If nacs gets even more traction I wonder if Tesla could take over EA and convert those fairly inexpensively to superchargers. The power is there, just need kiosk and some wiring?
Is there a link to hear Mary and Elon, or a transcript?
There's no sound on the Twitter link.

Gotta be reals: Elon has predicted 69 of the last 42 recessions...
I watch the company (and the "lack of competition"), while not investing more than I can afford to lose, while avoiding margerine...

The first 40 seconds or so is actually silence. Just skip/wait.
The first minute or so is silent, just keep going, or skip ahead.
