    Republicans, like all politicians, simply follow the money.

    "The five states that get the largest percentage of their power from wind turbines — Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Oklahoma and North Dakota — all voted for Mr. Trump. So did Texas, which produces the most wind power in absolute terms. In fact, 69 percent of the wind power produced in the country comes from states that Mr. Trump carried in November."

    It's my understanding that Porsche doesn't even have the battery to go along with the 350kW charger. So in reality they have nothing.

    Unless you count words on a page a something. In which case I'd like to take this opportunity to announce my new 800kW charger! [insert accolades]

    When this was first posted on this site yesterday I thought this would be major news. I expected a SP bump from this news to be greater than that from the BOD announcement. But, I saw no major news outlets pickup the story that Tesla was starting to roll out FSD for Beta testing on the roads. Am I the only one who thinks this is a major game changer?

    I agree, but this is precisely why it's invaluable to Porsche to be seen embracing electrons' quantum spin states. Or something about bulls and horns and glowing eyes.

    The early mover status is something they will be able to milk for ten years, and I suspect they feel it in their guts. When differences fade, perceptions count all the more. They are thankfully not immutable either but buy time.

    Then liberals are short sided thinkers, no wonder they can get any movement on climate change legislation. And btw, the press was murderers row for Tesla long before that. Mostly the press is dumb and lazy but in this case they seem to be all in on droning short narratives even including misogynist like Mark speigal and latrine life I'm their broadcasts and stories. This is not explained my the who council thing which was Elon making sure there was opposing voices in the room. Elon is not a quiter, he is a fighter and your can't fight unless you are in the room. Taking your ball and going home only works in 3rd grade.

    I think Elon had offended the liberal media but not giving to shits about the liberal media.

    Elon offended all the media who get paid by advertising dollars. Conservative media has been quite hostile to Tesla as well though some seem to be coming around.

    Apparently the person familiar with the person familiar with the meeting doesn’t know squat.

    Don’t be naive. We all know they’re nothing more than slaves working for a tyrant.

    I think people just want to see it to believe it. FSD is certainly worth many billions, but its pricing quirks and other uncertainties have people cautious for now

    I agree with your point. My point was why it wasn't it a news story that TM was going to beta test FSD.

    To me, this is primarily about moving the last couple of inventory cars. Why the Dec 31 deadline otherwise?
    Also, the announcement was about an upcoming release of some FSD features, which is both huge - the car taking full responsibility in contrast to EAP is a significant milestone - and at the same time just another small step for mankind if it's L4 under certain conditions only. Without knowing the details, I am apparently speculating about the scope.
    We might get to see the FSD cross - country demo ride next year, though. That will probably have some effect onSP. Direction will depend on the outcome.

    Check out the Model 3 general assembly video.

    Pretty amazing in its simplicity

    Exactly. The cynic in me says this is a gracious/brilliant way to circumvent the self-imposed "no discounts to anybody- not even to employees" rule.

    i suspect it's due to no advertising by Tesla is a significant thing. Look at the Washington Post and the "zillions" of car advertisement $$$'s, with full page ads as example

    I’m at the Paramus NJ Tesla showroom. They have maybe 60+ Model 3 available for sale, and that’s just one of their lots
