Wow, interesting to see all of those in one place.

Looks like figures are popping out!
Tesla’s sales in the U.S. are gaining on BMW and other luxury car makers
"Gaining" should be "beating," imho, but will take it as a half-success.

It is a self-reported not statistically significant data set - and it means nothing.
Couple of examples. In the early days of MyNissanLeaf, more than 50% of Leaf owners (and waiters) were members of the forum. A little later the % became smaller & smaller - and we could no longer figure out what the larger Leaf owner group felt by looking at the MNL comments.
Even more interesting is this - there was a spreadsheet someone had prior to Model 3 bookings opening. In my area (Bellevue, WA) there were some 10 people who said they will wait in line to reserve. Believing it o be somewhat accurate, I casually went to the mall 10 minutes before the start time. The line covered half the mall and I was 600 or so in line.

Maybe the SEC is puzzled why Tesla investors are livid at them for siding with Tesla anti-investors?
I think it is the SEC that needs re-education, they need to be reminded that their mission is to help investors ...
Hint: the SEC dropping the share price of one of the most innovative American companies from ~$310 to ~$250 by suing its CEO because he tried to protect shareholders took billions dollars of value from Tesla shareholders and enriched anti-shareholders with about half a billion dollars.
And the SEC had the audacity to force Tesla and its CEO into a one-sided settlement to enhance the returns of anti-shareholders by another 40 million dollars, and they are also trying to damage Tesla by unprofessionally meddling with its board of directors? Was a windfall of half a billion dollars not enough?
Is the SEC not just a Shortseller Enrichment Commission, but also a Shareholder-value Elimination Commision?

Almost 100% definitely sure it was the #1 highest grossing car in US. We published this over a month ago: Tesla Model 3 = #1 Best Selling Car In The US (In Revenue) | CleanTechnica
Word is getting around. Nearly 300,000 views on that article and CNN International asked to use one of the charts.
The Balance Sheet shows $942 million in Customer Deposits as a Current Liability but only $147 million in Restricted Cash as a Current Asset.
"We maintain certain cash balances restricted as to withdrawal or use. Our restricted cash is comprised primarily of cash as collateral for our sales to lease partners with a resale value guarantee, letters of credit, real estate leases, insurance policies, credit card borrowing facilities and certain operating leases. In addition, restricted cash includes cash received from certain fund investors that have not been released for use by us and cash held to service certain payments under various secured debt facilities. "
Read the Reservation Agreement that explicitly says the deposit is co-mingled.

Interesting. I'm fairly sure Musk's tweet must have rattled SEC.
I'm also fairly sure, FDR wouldn't have approved of SEC siding with shorts against an innovative American industry.

In a similar way WWII was good for growth: destruction stimulates construction.

He's been attacking me, presumably because he didn't like being called out on CleanTechnica or criticized by Maye Musk, Bonnie Norman, and me.
Dude seems to be deep into $TSLAQ. Wouldn't know 100,000 sales from a factory parking lot.
Just a shame the New York Times publishes such stuff.

Crossover Utility, Sexy, Aerodynamic
Pick Two.
I think Tesla will pick Crossover Utility and Aerodynamic for Model Y.
Congratulations on getting Elon to follow CleanTechnica.Almost 100% definitely sure it was the #1 highest grossing car in US. We published this over a month ago: Tesla Model 3 = #1 Best Selling Car In The US (In Revenue) | CleanTechnica

Mark Matousek is also looking for owner stories. I hope I helped legitimize Zach’s Pravduh tracker just a bit here
Oh, Lordy. We're going to really get attacked by fellow travelers in the industry.
But good it's being put to use.
We already ran a piece on him doing this, too, thanks to sleuthing from someone here on TMC:
Is Business Insider Searching For The Truth On Tesla? #Pravduh #RealityCheck | CleanTechnica
Hmm, that’s a little strange... the deposits were $1k a piece, and they’ve never had anything close to 942,000 deposits...

Soooooooooo tempted to write something about this.
Think would be wise to just leave it alone.
But serious question: What do you all think would happen with the broader short seller narrative and press coverage of it if this fund collapsed?

Thanks. Happened sometime back. Can't complain.
