side question: from experience or research? (and is there more than one lit airfield in Iceland? NATO/Icelandair just one or two?)

Chevy just announced a prototype "eCOPO Camaro" that does a quarter mile in the 9's. gonna be hard for rednecks to scoff at the idea of electric cars when Chevy's own fastest cars are electric (even if they're just dumb purpose-built for the drag strip concept cars).
In the Netherlands, this issue is also addressed by fast charging company Fastned. In their opinion it's more economical to serve the households without access to home charging with fast chargers instead of having millions of public AC charging poles. Maybe not as convenient as just plug, charge, walk home and pick up your car when you are ready to go, but it takes away the need to find a public AC charging pole, either at home or at destination.
What i do see in my area is that the increase in number of BEV vastly outpaces the increase of public charging poles. And i do expect that discrepancy to grow. For me it is more then "just a nice to have" that a BEV can charge on the Chademo or CCS network.
For further reference, Fastned slightly addresses the issue on page 3&4 of the document below ("faster charging drives costs down & serving those who do not have their own driveway"):

Even less on topic, the roll out of their network goes substantially slower then stated in the linked document. And i wouldn't take their charted plan to come to every European country too serious, I think things have changed in all countries since the document was made. But as far as i'm concerned it's sufficient already for my part of the Netherlands
For full disclosure, i do have some shares in that company, which may or may not interfere with my view of the matter.
Skimmed a couple dozen pages, and not sure these points have been mentioned.
Contra @tivoboy, the tendency of short-term traders is to get into what's working and get out of what's not. To make matters worse for those shorting Tesla, a lot of the 'value' oriented fund managers were using TSLA as a proxy for over valued stocks. They were using it as a hedge against their other stocks. Their numbers are looking horrible this month as markets tank, and Tesla is in an upswing. They're pretty antsy. It's gonna be hard to explain the returns on supposedly market neutral portfolios. I can only wish them luck (not!).
Another interesting observation is TSLA traded inline with F and GM, probably thanks to china auto tariff news. Happy for the up day, but hope it wasn't bots.

This part is very interesting:
This would make a lot of conversion projects much easier.

Well, we know it can spin its tires. Does it have any traction control? It's not apparent from the video.
Gasp, Wheeze.

But usually people don't buy for one thing. They'd want to use the truck to carry all kinds of building materials, old furniture etc etc. While I'm sure some people "baby" their trucks, my guess is most don't.

I think it will be interesting to see how TSLA does when there is a really strong sustained bounce. My guess is that it will do well but not nearly as well as the stocks that are way down right now. There is a tendency to think that if it does this well with the market tanking, it is so strong that it will absolutely crush it when the market starts heading back up. TSLA doesn't typically do that, as the trading money heads to other opportunities, as you mentioned. I think this is a possibility for everyone to keep in mind and not be disappointed if TSLA doesn't keep up with AMZN, NFLX, etc... when they go into rocket mode at some point. TSLA will be heading beyond ATH before long though. Whether it is sooner or a little later, nobody knows.
NVDA touched an ATH of $290 not less than 2 months ago. It's now below $190 on literally no news whatsoever. If NVDA isn't an opportunity right now there's something wrong with the world.
As someone who has held NVDA from an original stake of $11.80 a share and a cost basis of around $60, I'm not sure how I feel about having all this value wiped out in less than 2 months. On the one hand, I'm still up a tremendous amount on NVDA. On the other hand, nothing sucks more than something you've held long for years just evaporate nearly 50% of it's value for literally no reason whatsoever. NVDA has not reported any news about anything but because of the sudden collapse of other chip stocks, including it's graphics rival AMD, it's been dragged down into the Marianas Trench by sheer association.
I just hope that NVDA does not miss it's earning estimates when it reports it's quarterly earnings in early November.

auto stock are up due to china 50% import tax cut.
I am just a baffled over this. Market had loss it senses. I am pretty much saved by my obsession with TSLA. Otherwise I would have it own loads of the names that have gone down big, especially NVDA. Make me want to sell my TSLA shares to get back into those shares....maybe.

LoL, meant configurations. Damn auto correct.
Incorrect. Many ppl baby their trucks and trucks are a huge, high dollar market. Just cuz you baby it doesn't mean you don't use it for towing. Ford is solely focused on trucks for a good reason. In the Midwest...I don't even see alot of sedans. It's either the crossovers or pick ups Tesla will have a huge market if they do pick ups. Texas will become green as _-#+#+_@
I think we will see a close above $350 tomorrow.
Broader market may bounce which only helps Tesla.
Many folks now rushing into Tesla.
Bye bye $300’s hello $400’s.
Yay!

I have made money on NVDA in the past but no longer particularly bullish on them. Processing 1s and 0s has already been commoditised and it can only be a race to the bottom now. Fortnite etc. on phones will kill PC sales eventually (or Netflix..). Tesla has killed their autonomous game. Cloud could be eaten by Chinese ARM semi conductors easily enough. I'm 100% TSLA at the moment because I don't see these type of risks on the horizon. The world is flooded with chips and I don't see how we will use all the data - only a future AI can make use of it and machine learning is too dependant on slow mouse clicking humans to guide/instruct.
And will be wondering when they can buy a BEV boat for the same reason.
