PLEASE. I know it is the weekend, but let’s keep politics, climate change, and, pre-emptying here, religion out of this thread! There are plenty of other threads for all these topics.

An article worth reading re: rail in the U.S.:
Amtrak turns 45 today. Here's why American passenger trains are so bad.
FWIW: I just don’t think large scale passenger rail will ever happen in the U.S. outside of it’s current framework.

Excuse me! But I did not give you permission to advertise my super power.
I am glad you are invested in TSLA and your input here is always valuable. But, I have spent too much time in arctic Alaska and Canada to see the absurdity of anyone who doubts climate change. Even where Audi, our thread mod, lives a good 800 miles south of the arctic circle, the fires have increased and all the lakes are low to the point the beavers have dropped off severely in population.
I think you simply need to get out into the natural world and just open your eyes.
I think Gates would be a bad choice.
Not only did he set back IT decades, making everyone expect IT to always fail, but he also engaged in illegal, anti-competitive business practices.
Let me add that my trips via public transportation were a key case where the network structure made a big difference. I lived in a city where there wasn't a direct rail line to the town where my father lived. I had the same, but worse, challenge visiting my brother because the main routing is via expensive lines, and the fastest routing via London is ridiculously expensive. There's a greyhound equivalent, but times are limited and some routes can be very slow.
That said, I preferred travel by train for the comfort. Now I also prefer to take a bus from Augusta, ME or Portland, ME to BOS when visiting the UK. Can fly from AUG to BOS, but times generally don't work out well for the return, and there's greater risk of disruption if traveling late winter, as I often do. Can get a train from Brunswick, ME or Portland, ME to Boston, but the train goes to North Station, so more of a hassle to get to the airport.
Fixing this isn't easy, but it's why autonomy is a multi-billion dollar project with a multi-trillion dollar pot for the winners.

Don’t have to wonder. It’s business as usual. Absolutely nothing has changed.
The first will be that the all hands on deck (with begging for owner help) is the only reason Tesla was FCF/profitable/hit their guidance/blah, blah, blah - can’t be sustained, just wait they’ll run out of cash in Q4 if they don’t do a capital raise, etc., etc...

On Friday 1-16-12 $TSLA dropped 19.33% it’s single one day drop in its history and closed at $22.79 down approximately 34.8% from prior high of $35 on 12-5-11
Next trading day Tuesday 1-17-12 it rebounded 16.72% and closed at $26.60
In less than 21/2 months it touched $39.95 on 3-27-12
FYI from a historical perspective

According to Bloomberg, Elon wrote an Email to Tesla staff Saturday, saying that they were very close to profitablility but Sunday deliveries seemed to be crucial. If true, that´s really close, or he just makes it sound closer than it is to motivate people..
Sorry if this was posted before, can´t keep up.

Since this is a market action thread, I will give my 2 cents about what's coming. I could be totally wrong. TSLA is so wild in short term, it seems nobody has been able to consistently get right on short term (except the guys who mechanically buy below 300 sell near 360).
Tesla in Q3 should have delivered around 60,000 Model 3, ASP $58k, delivered around 25,000 Model S and X, ASP 100k. Using these numbers the revenue should be above $6 B. The 60,000 Model 3 is easy to tell, 10k from last quarter, 50k from this quarter, a few thousand from the last few days will be pushed to Q4. The S+X number is a wild guess. China has a 40% tariff, that has a negative impact.
With these numbers, SEC thing is over, V9, autonomous testing... I think the stock is ready to swing back to the upper bound.
I hope they wait until after Tuesday close to send out the numbers. Don't send the good news on the same day.
Q4 will be intense. Not so many cars in transit from Q3. Quarter end delivery will be tough. One potential positive factor is we might get the trade war over. That would be really good for TSLA.

Cool! Perfect storm for short sellers brewing
Let’s have a strong gap up tomorrow with follow through on Tuesday+Wednesday with strong delivery #s and run SP all the way into first week November when Q3 ER declares $TSLA profitable
All hands on board
Shorts have good cause to be scared
V 9 roll out will give a boost for sure. It sounds like the official V9.0 release will be tomorrow, so deferred EAP revenue will hit in Q4.
I really, really hoped they were already at a profit

I gotta admit I didn’t think they would be cutting it this close. So best case they make a few million dollars profit? I can see bears spinning this to say the ASP of Model 3 will never be as high as this quarter, therefore Tesla will never really be profitable.

Thank you
Here is a link to the whole article
Tesla is 'very close' to profitability, Musk says in staff email (link: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-30/tesla-very-close-to-profitability-musk-says-in-staff-email) bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via

$TSLA
If he said they were already, the normal reaction would be to ease off on Sunday. Better to hang the carrot/stick to push through till the end.
Also, if in profit territory, for all deliveries at this point gross margin is net margin. Super boost to the bottom line.
