    The more interesting question is where M3 deliveries will be in Q1 2019. Looks like a slight improvement in Q4 vs Q3 because the new Pana cell lines are only due to be installed in Dec. But how close will we be to 10,000/week by 31 March? So far we've only had a vague "will hit 10k sometime in 2019". Well 2019 is bearing down on us, hopefully we get some more specific guidance in two weeks.

    Must have heated seats in New England.

    Sorry for the newbie error. This forum rocks.

    Failed snark on the E words. The Lone Star State (in Huntsville) executes (capital) offenders. The Empire State (on Wall Street) exercises options.

    248-252 support held yet again. Macros looking good for tomorrow. If you want to buy more, tomorrow sure does make a whole lot of sense, just saying.

    If you’re short, congrats on your presumable recent earnings, but consider this my warning...

    Model 3 manual already states that the folding mirrors, adjustable (12 way) front seats, center console and front USB ports require the PUP package. So those are some clues on the cost savings.

    In addition, new PUP orders are only receiving 1 year of Internet access and it’s presumed that non-PUP won’t receive any free period or at least something less than 1 year.

    Hmmm thanks. I'm trying to decide what I'll get if I wait for the SR. If I wait until next year and then just end up getting a bunch of upgrades that take me to essentially the LR that's out now (or just decide that the LR is worth it)... well that would be a bummer (because missing out on tax incentive). Hard to compare and make a decision now without all the info

    Cost of the heated seats is virtually zero. Dumb thing to remove.

    Russian Soyuz didn't make the launch today. Might be SpaceX or national security related.

    Yesterday I was traveling on an airplane. The person sit next to me is a pilot. We chatted about airplane models, autopilot, then cars. So I naturally asked him if he has tried a Tesla. He said “no, I haven’t, but A friend of mine bought a model X. He really likes it.”

    Then we talked a lot about the Model 3: safety; driving fun; savings on gasoline; autopilot; self-drive; how the sensors work; battery life; miles per charge; charging speed; supercharger network; tax rebat...

    In the end, he asked “I have to wait several years after I order the car, right?” Seems to me there is a large group of people really don’t know much about Tesla.

    After learning all the details, he said he can’t wait to test drive. I guess he will end up buying one. Then his son, who is also a pilot, probably will also order. Hopefully they will love the cars and talk to their friends.

    Unlike most (all?) luxury brands Tesla does not use branded sound systems for their "premium sound package."

    They shop around for the best price on speakers,amps, etc and their profit margin is much higher than competing brands for similar packages.

    The Tesla brand itself is strong enough to pull the money out of consumer wallets.
