Tesla owes royalty payments to the estate of Issac Newton? Huge expenses due soon.

This call makes me happy

Whatever to the haters. How reliable and spectacular are the Chinese bullet trains?

People need to set the racism aside. It's less about the country of manufacturer than the actual production and QA process.

How many Chinese engineers work in Palo Alto, Fremont, etc? More than Australians and New Zealanders think.

As a New Zealander - I want to be on record as saying I’m absolutely 100% ok with my model 3 being made in China.

Paint job may be better if done in China

Building almost anything in a green field environment would be better than using the legacy paint shop.

With regard to a Tesla factory in China I think we're going to have to throw many prior assumptions aside. Yes domestic Chinese cars are poor quality, but that has as much to do with them being designed and developed in China as to do with them being built there. I truly believe that if there is a company that could put togheter a really high quality manufacturing operation in China, even with something as complex and demanding as a car, it would be Tesla. This hasn't been done or really attempted by any of the big US, Japanse, Korean or European OEMs before, at least not whole heartedly.

Foreign manufacturers have been making cars in china for over two decades now. Creating quality in country, with the right factory and the right people and the right training, its not a problem.

I actually went on one of those days to help but there were too many 'helpers' already there so I left.

 

[Johann Koeber]

Great to hear several of the management team speak on the call. Just like we are part of the team. Where else can you listen in on a management meeting? Love it.

Boom. They have trained the new and better neural nets, they just need the new hardware in the cars, and they are far along with their development of the new chips

Tesla is the safest car manufacturer for cars made in tents.
