    On no news, I agree. But on news, individual stocks follow their own path - may be tempered by market.

    Again, if you have any tax-deferred IRAs, or an old 401(k) plan that could be rolled into an IRA, you should talk to your tax accountant about possibly doing a Roth conversion before the end of this year. Hope you can order that new Tesla by Oct. 15!

    Well, when you can defraud the American public to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars and then get trillions of dollars of public money as a punishment, why wouldn't you think you can do anything?

    Just looked at his twitter feed. All anti-Tesla retweets.

    But we need to engage with such people to turn the tide of negative press.

    I sent a DM to him, lets see what he says. NYT and other publications are sensitive to accusations of bias. So, make your voice heard - tell him "you are presenting only one side of the story. You seem to be biased."

    How often has Tesla waited this long to post earnings date? I'm anticipating this one more than any before, and I've never really payed attention in the past. Don't remember them waiting more than two weeks though.

    Looks like they usually do 1st or 2nd on non-fiscal year end quarters.

    Lots of companies announce 2 weeks before the earnings date.

    This factory is ~5 times bigger by square footage than the Gigafactory? Am I getting this right?

    Appears to be this area:

    As I speculated about previously, this is in mainland China, not the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.

    I.e. the Shanghai Gigafactory will be able to sell Teslas in China like a domestic carmaker: no tariffs and full price incentives for EVs received (about $9000 per car purchase IIRC, and it's not a tax incentive, I.e. every customer receives this sum).

    And Tesla got special permission for the Gigafactory to be 100% foreign (Tesla) owned.

    Recently Tesla also purchased 20% of future lithium carbonate output from the largest Chinese lithium mining company - lithium shipments starting this year already.

    Tesla is going to be in a very, very good position in the Chinese auto market...

    212 Acres give or take, need parking, external utilities, finished goods parking.

    GF1 started at 1,000 acres and exercised the option to buy an additional 1,864 acres so the GF1 site is over 13x the size.

    Fremont is 370 acres.

    Shorties have the opportunity to gracefully bow out now. They can pretend the Teslaquila is what saved the company from bankwupcy

    Looking forward into next year and what I assume will be the introduction of the model Y (and hopefully my Leaf replacement) is there any reason why Tesla can’t raise funds for factory build out by using the same capital raising scheme they used last time? EG, 1000 dollar deposits. Is there any legal reason they can’t repeat this method as, it least in my eyes, it seems like it worked well last time. Interest free loan by those of us willing to do it. I asked this reason in an earlier post but other than a bunch of disagrees no one explained why this wouldn’t work.

    The model 3 wasn’t right for us, partly because of timing (financial) and partly because Angela is fixed on a hatchback...which I kind of like as well.

    Just curious if anyone thinks Tesla will go this route for raising capital again.

    I've thought about this a bit recently. I think a Model 3 would make an awesome police car. They need a lot of hardware on top (light bar etc.), and a lot of glass on top would be a negative feature.
