Tesla hired an expert as C.A.O. with past experience taking Seagate private and then public again. After the decision not to go private was announced, the new hire left. I think Elon had good advice at all stages. I'm not going to 2nd guess his moves. Cheers!That's who companies use when they are preparing for M&A.
For liability reasons, none of the dealers would allow it. I know I would not have done it. I would also want control of the narrative. You lose that with volunteers without proper training.
Citation needed.You promised it...
When other manufacturers introduce a new model you can order any configuration you want from a "strippee" to a fully loaded unit with every option. No restrictions.
I was a Ford dealer. Never had anything I could not order unless a particular option was supplier backed up due to high demand. Even then it was just delayed, not "unavailable".
British Columbia is going through what Ontario did in June: Rushing to beat a fund running out of money for EV rebates. That is the reason for the Vancouver push (along with EOQ).
Not true at all. Just look at the history of Leaf, for eg.When other manufacturers introduce a new model you can order any configuration you want from a "strippee" to a fully loaded unit with every option. No restrictions. Most dealers stock units across the board for different types of buyers.
... Elon explained exactly why he had to send the tweet in this Tesla blog post on Aug 13:
To be clear, when I made the public announcement, just as with this blog post and all other discussions I have had on this topic, I am speaking for myself as a potential bidder for Tesla."
It's only a ridiculous price if the company grows to where we think it will go. They can't do that without a ton of cash.
It seems you are saying that if Tesla can keep selling heavily optioned LR cars they should hold off on SR units unless they generate a greater profit? That is a horrible idea. Every other automaker builds a full line of cars, trucks or SUVs. Each model can be ordered in a variety of price points.
Does that admission obviate Tesla's Directors' & Officers' Liability Insurance carrier's duty to provide a defense to Elon in Shareholder Derivative Litigation arising out of his series of tweets on Aug 7? Also, is the corporation's indemnity for the benefit of its officers and directors when acting on behalf of the corporation inapplicable when an individual acts, not in his capacity as an officer or director but, for himself and other interests?
About the ZEV credit, 2018 is 4.5% and 2019 is 7%. Can the credit be bought in 2018 and used/counted in 2019? If not, I suspect ZEV sales for tsla at tens of millions, not much more.
I think that article is about dealers in the UK.Car sales set to crash after dealers flood the market to beat new green tests
Interesting. Article states ICE manufacturers have been flooding their Dealer networks with cars before new emission standards come into effect due to VW Dieselgate. Since Tesla is the only auto manufacture that only reports figures once car is sold to individuals and all others report figures once cars are sold Dealers, last few months have of ICE auto sales have been exaggerated and soon they will need to reconcile the numbers, expecting a crash in sales. Perhaps this should make it to front back news as Tesla will certainly buck this trend.
The $25k Tesla might never happen as a new car platform, instead we could see a gradual reduction in Model 3 base pricing to perhaps $30k or $29k. Lower mass cars have trade-offs in safety, and I'm not sure Tesla should be making compact cars.
They might pay double for a roof that won't get destroyed every time there's a big hail storm. Probably a significant insurance discount on that.I don't see why anyone would pay double for solar panels.
I think that’s a pretty good requirement. If they don’t have the cash or a loan approved they aren’t going to be a paying customer.The only customer that seems to matter is the one willing to take delivery right now who is paying cash or has a loan approved.
This is the space that the Audi A3, the BMW 1/2-series, and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatch, being 10-19 inches shorter than the Model 3 depending on model and body style, and a couple inches narrower than the Model 3. Or, if that's not enough, there's the Audi A1 and Mini Hatch, at 27-34 inches shorter, and over 4 inches narrower. (I'm using figures without mirrors for this, to be consistent.)
That's a significant difference when navigating tight streets not designed for cars, and parking in tight parking spaces.
Also consider that sometimes the lower mass cars get an enthusiast following, too - better handling, after all.
