No it won't be. It's vector based, so the files are smaller so less memory intensive. Also very efficient zooming in and out vs a purely rastor based tile steam like today. Google made this transition in the client side a long time ago and it allowed for a lot more junk on the map. It might be a bit more processing intensive but that will be hidden by the far more responsive and light vector based maps. Vector is basically a mathematical representation of the lines and colors. Much smaller then defining the color of every pixel in every tile, which also takes more bandwidth and memory.

Careful bull
TSLA dropped aftermarket to $272, Moody downgrade may take another bite out of SP.
Tomorrow could be a good setup for capitulation... Or not
My plan has changed. If it continues going down, I'm throwing everything in at $250, 2020 leaps (I am already nicely leveraged), and I'm borrowing from my HLOC somewhere between $200-$220, just like in Feb '16! Those buys created some spectacular returns at the time.

Any predictions for first quarter deliveries? I am guessing about the following:
11K M3 - Extrapolating from the Delivery/VIN spread sheet here on TMC
23K S & X - Just a wild guess, thinking it will be slightly soft due to lack of inventory and the winter quarter.
34K Total
This would be a 36% unit increase over last year.
One interesting thought is that the Model 3 could beat the BMW 3/4 series US only deliveries very soon. Typically the BMW sells about 8K per month in the US but it has been on the decline. For sure the M3 will pass the BMW 3/4 in the US sometime next quarter. The possible Canada diversion would be the only thing to stop it.
When you think about that achievement it is quite remarkable. BMW 3/4 series has a 40 year legacy.
Then sometime this summer it will sell more than the Audi A4, MB C-class, and BMW 3/4 series combined which is about 17K per month. At an ASP that is likely higher than all of them. The Germans automakers will be sweating as this will be hitting the core of their market. It will be interesting to see if it expands this market or has as much of an impact that the Model S did on the S-class and 7-Series sales.
Keep a long term view on the stock. The automotive industry has slower clockspeed than most industries so the disruption will not be an Apple like 2-3 years. It will take a decade or more due to the longer product cycles and the capital intensive nature of the business.

I doubt that the slight downgrade of bonds was much of the cause. I see it as more likely that traders received or anticipated margin calls.

If you don't mind me asking, which 2020 strike price? I have been using 500 to keep the cost down.

Just for fun, I went back to the 2016 threads.
Here's what was said today:
Here's what was said in Feb 2016:
Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016
And a panicked-sounding post from former forum member Maoing in Feb 2016: Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016
I seriously thought Maoing was having a panic attack for all of February.
Then, as now, there were also a few contrarian bargain shoppers -- here are a couple examples from Feb. 9, 2016:
Long-Term Fundamentals of Tesla Motors (TSLA)

I can't say which way this will go, or if how much longer this volatility will last, but I think everyone should be prepared for a very rocky period while things with Model 3 are uncertain.
Expect a lot of nonsense to be posted here at TMC, at Reddit, and elsewhere. A lot of it will be the same as 2016: people spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt), usually through posts that have little substance. Intention is almost directly proportional to the effort made in posts. I pay attention to bearish investors who back up their arguments with substantive information based on production, cash flow, and working capital estimates, even if I disagree with their conclusions. People who don't post with much effort are likely trying to influence retail sentiment or avenge for past losses.

I've been a Tesla owner since 2013, and have bought 3 so far, but Elon is now on my hit list. My investment strategies for the last 5 years have been based on the information that he has given us (I listen to ever earnings call and read every earnings report). I understand that manufacturing is hard, but I expect the CEO to have a freaking clue about the ramp and the challenges they face. The fact that he has been more wrong that I thought humanly possible, has now cost me an incredible amount of money. I will get maybe half of it back if the stock recovers in the next 6 months, but I have no choice now but buy back at a huge loss naked Puts that I sold two months ago, because my account has dropped so much that even though I didn't use Margin, I am getting margin calls on my naked Puts (which don't expire for 9 more months). This would NOT have happened if Elon had been even close to accurate. After I weather this storm, I will NEVER, EVER, base any of my investing in TSLA on what Elon has to stay. I use to think people that called Elon a Liar were a bunch of paid trolls. Now I realized that half of them were right. This is a sad day for me because I have really admired the guy. Don't invest based on what Elon says - advice!
I'm long TSLA starting in 2012. I hold only shares. These big dips have happened often enough that I can not even remember how many! The dips always seem depressing emotionally. But I always buy at these time only to feel elation some days or weeks later. My overall cost basis on all my shares is still only about $140, so I don't know the feeling some of you later investors might feel. But I can say, Musk is a very bright fellow, Tesla will succeed and succeed well. So, if you are holding shares sleep well! Time sensitive investors, I wish you well.
