Traction will be a problem.
It just depends how fast you'll actually be able to charge it and where. The Supercharger network is a HUGE asset and advantage for Tesla.
I feel proud to have a Supercharger station in our location in southern WA, just about 3 miles from my house, easily accessible from 2 major freeways and perfectly located near a shopping center and several restaurants. It's cool to see the traffic there... saw a Roadster the other day, but have yet to see a model 3. Soon though I'm sure!

This is Spart
(Not quite 300, but closing at 295+ is pretty good)

Today’s trading is very strong. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a bailout ws downgrade over weekend or early Monday am to keep the bullish sentiment in Check. Tesla is like a lion being held captive in a zoo.
So NIO is not just copying teslas ambitions with electric cars, service and charging stations, but also in terms of shorter love?
I think we will close above 295. But why they try this hard today to cap 296? 4 times today the SP was over 296 but got push down right away. Anyone?

F=MA still applies. Mass is the same, Force (traction) is reduced to 38% vs Earth due to lower gravity. So a Martian P100D may be able to achieve 6.6 sec
Worse engineering issue will be battery cooling. No atmosphere to use with conventional radiators. And battery heating too, with nightime temps below -80C the electrolyte will freeze unless the batteries are heated. So there's some work for those Martian engineers of tomorrow, for sure.

Thanks for the personal example.
They can get away with this because of such high demand, but the demand won't be THAT high forever. The demand is *already* not that high for models S and X.
Pretty egregious, but matches everything I've heard. This is a walking disaster; there are a lot of people who actually need some problem straightened out before they can take delivery, and Tesla doesn't seem to have a system for straightening out such problems.

Wouldn't be surprised, but also wouldn't be surprised if the Market shrugs it off. It's musical chairs now until the Q3 numbers are out, and EVERYBODY wants a seat.
Cheers!
Let me guess individual delivery most probably in enclosed carriage. Direct line with no intermediary distribution buffer points.
How does it relate to the question? Auto hauling is one week anywhere within US.
Short thesis goes that stupid Tesla doesn't use train distribution system for their cars. They don't because it's not cheaper for their sells model. Instead of comparing to your anecdotal experience visit your ex-dealership and ask about delivery delays when trains are involved.
$TSLA short interest $10.19 billion, 35.21 million shares short, 27.61% of float. @Tesla 1.6 million shares sold sort this week, $460 million, moving ahead of $AMZN and behind $AAPL. https://www.s3partners.net/Research/20180914_153100_TSLA20.php?v=1 … https://shortingtesla.com/

Guys, we're still far away from the potential short squeeze, but the number of shares shorted has increased significantly and we're still below $300... So while unlikely, it's significantly more probable than 2 weeks' ago, when the number of shares shorted was only 31.83, 3.4 million shares less than today...
I will caution that I currently believe the bottlenecks on production are not in final assembly, or paint, or body. So they won't be able to maintain 8000/week until they fix bottlenecks further back in the supply chain. That said, I am also certain that those bottlnecks are currently being fixed (and may all be fixed by the end of the month).
Such ludicrous attacks from Bloomberg there. If the writer had bothered to watch any previous interviews with James Anderson, he'd realize that Anderson is actually being much more definite than usual. Anderson is usually ultra-vague and hedges everything he says three or four time.
