    The information is a little jumbled there. Tripp is not representing himself in the law suit where Tesla is suing him; the law firm Tiffany & Bosco is handling his defense in that one. The $100k question: Who is paying for Tiffany & Bosco to represent Tripp?

    It is in his whistleblower case that Stuart Meissner dropped Tripp's case so he is now representing himself. (I don't understand how the whistleblower case works, is Tripp suing Tesla? Is Tripp suing the SEC to force them to take action?)

    But the fact that the whistleblower attorney dropped the case, that he said was very strong makes me think that he got to the real facts and found out that Tripp was actually guilty of wrong doing and it was time to separate himself.

    I referenced late 2020's .

    And brand building ads now that emphasize The Mission and National Energy Independence.

    Targeting teenagers/future buyers and Red State pickup/full size SUV buyers.

    So when Tesla gets to 500K,1M,1.5M,2M, and 2.5M projected US deliveries the buyers are there.

    Interestingly, immediately after the Musk segment was broadcast by "60 Minutes", their online "Overtime" website featured a monologue by the segment's producer praising Musk for his openness and honesty, which the producer viewed as refreshingly different from that of other CEOs that they have featured. That monologue was soon removed from the website.

    thanx @Troy

    combining Troy numbers and @luvb2b estimates, it looks that EPS numbers will be similar to Q3

    Couldn't they be taking it on contingency to see what they can find out in discovery? Could be someone like Meissner looking for a payout from Tesla.

    I agree, though I'm wondering if the recent auto lease bonds would impact Q4 numbers? Or are those being issued in Q1 '19?

    I’m Dutch, so I got that far ;)

    The description of the activities and the total number of jobs is not comparable to what is happening in Tilburg, especially not when it involves 3000 cars per month. So I think they check them, and maybe install software and minor things. But not drivetrains and other large items.

    The final assembly in Tilburg saves 5% on part of the car (there is a 10% import tariff on the car and ac5% import tariff on the parts that are installed later, like battery and drivetrain). So overall maybe a savings of 2.5%.

    A European GF would save 10% on the whole car, plus save on shipping and handling costs.

    “The chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei has been released on a $10 million bail, a judge in Canada ruled Tuesday.”
    I think this is positive to the market.

    Scramble mode.

    Maybe time to act like a big boy Company?

    Troy, Great work. My only comment is why would you estimate deliveries to exceed production? My thinking is the great the rate of production the greater the gap in deliveries over production. I'm interested in hearing your viewpoint.

    Once the EU region (+Norway,Switzerland,UK?,Russia,Middle East) show demand is sustainably above 300k units per year it is advisable to build a EU GF.

    $35k cars are not competitive when paying $3k in import tax plus transatlantic shipping.

    Agreed that an assembly facility like that for Model S and Model X in Tilburg is probably not justified.

    No trickery, the battery is just a regular service item like oil - you just replace it every 7,500 miles.

    What do you estimate for 2018 total production?
