We all know about the silly wallet sized frunk, but is there really no more trunk space below what is shown? Model 3 would look similar but then has a big cave you can see when you pull up the lid for more luggage.
Wait, for the price of the i-pace you can order a P3D, which is not delayed much at all. In fact my neighbor, who test drove my Model 3 in maybe March and was blown away by the performance and modernness, put in a reservation a week later and already got called to configure his P3D with the promise of taking deliver in july or august.
He may have used the trick to buy something in the store (charger in his case) ahead of time in order to not appear as a first-time-buyer, not sure if that is actually making a difference, but he needed it anyways and the rumor was going around.
The P3D will blow the i-pace out of the water, has proper supercharging, autopilot with the promise of fully selfdriving features being around the corner, and all the other cool things tesla. Its a no-contest really isnt it?
As of December 31, 2017, the estimated productive life for Model S and X tooling was 250,000 vehicles based on our current estimates of production. As of December 31, 2017, the estimated productive life for Model 3 tooling was 1,000,000 vehicles based on our current estimates of production.
Mod: thanks for a useful contribution. When quoting something one should say where it's quoted from, either a link or "From Tesla's 2018 10-K" or whatever. --ggr.

Range is a number that quantifies how far your electric car can go.
Used in a sentence:
"I have seventy-five miles of range! Golly!"
(Sorry, I probably had one too many chocolate milks just now. I kid, I kid).
It's also a big wide open space in the west of the United States where people used to put homes... Deer and Antelope used to hang out there too.
And per Google the range of the I-Pace is 240 miles. I have serious doubts that it does over the air upgrades.
Who let the weekend discussion crowd in?
I known there's something going on in the US, celebrating recent independence from the old countries, but the stock market is keeping its regurlar hours, isn't it?

There's enough demand for Model 3 to head for 10K, and they've got enough of the subassembly lines set up for 10K, they're going to aim for 10K. They want to clear that backlog as fast as possible so that people aren't discouraged by the "two year wait time" (this would get it down to *one* year). I don't know when they'll get there exactly but they have strong motivation to do so as quickly as possible.
Well, Q3 is looking tight, so they will probably not expend big capex in Q3, but Q4 is really looking like a safe source of profit (I trust luvb2b's model) and that's probably enough to start duplicating the bits which need to be duplicated. I bet they try to speed up the body line rather than duplicating it, but I think they'll duplicate other bottlenecks.
Some estimates are that it's going to be in line with the loss in Q1, only a little worse. Cash flow shuld be a lot worse, but GAAP profit/loss...

Investors betting against Tesla are getting killed but not for the reason you may think: Cramer
More explaination of Tesla in the market.
More explaination of Tesla in the market.
To pile on to what ggr said: who cares? The point is that Tesla cannot have a liquidity crisis any time soon, and Musk now knows this. It doesn't matter what Wall Street "thinks". The numbers indicate that Tesla will have enough cash to get through to March 1. Tesla may have enough cash to pay off the convertibles, or they may have to issue stock, but they will definitely be able to issue stock unless the short-sellers drive the price below $252 -- which seems *exceedingly* unlikely after two quarters of profit. (And if it happens I'll be among many who will pile on to buy as much stock as possible.) Tesla will have enough profit to pay off the November 2019 bonds. And after that Tesla never needs to go to the capital markets again.
The short-sellers may have prevented Tesla from expanding as fast as Tesla wanted to, but they can't cause a liquidity crisis. So that's the end of that scheme. That's the point
Hasn't Hogfighter been trading based on the Hog Negativity Index using essentially this method?
Maybe. If the information was *public* then it would certainly not count. Often such information is public, just not noticed by most people.
I’m not selling, ever! Maybe some when stock is at $1,750. But not much.

Wait, does this mean I Called It On Peak FUD?!?
I mean, of course she did. We have passed Peak FUD, as I pointed out. Now when they push so hard, it’ll look ridiculous because of their eyes bugging out.
We might not need to crowdfund commissioning Greg Palast to follow the Koch FUDbucks after all...

According to Cramer “longs are unshakable.”
This is why shorts are getting killed, their leader (Chanos) doesn’t produce any goods, whereas Tesla is manufacturing the best car in the world. The Model 3 at 5,000/week will own up to 30-40% of the mid-size luxury market share. This is huge considering how big the automobile market is.
Shorts have been killing us longs for over a year now. That's how long TSLA has been trading sideways with wild peaks and valleys. The only people making money are the swing traders and they have made a mint. Meanwhile the longs (and shorts) are wondering when the wild ride will end.
