Mod: this thread starts with posts that were moved from the main investment thread and the Ukraine/Russia thread. I think the requested rate is very reasonable. It's just the timing. Frankly a hundred million or so for the service that was provided is not a bad deal as I see it. Dink around...

So it seems we are in for a slow ramp on the 4680 lines. Anyone have thoughts on the actual gating issue? The Kato facility has run at some 1/1000 of the planned capacity so something untoward must be the gate/constraint. Assembly ? More material preparation difficulties?

Wondering if anyone in Virginia has worked with American Home Contractors. I have been waiting for an opportunity to get a quote on a solar tile roof vs solar panels and replacing our roof with standing seam roof. Finally got some progress when tesla solar pushed me over to AHC to get a quote...

No not me, Elon and JB of course. Not sure others mentioned it Tesla Finishes First Solar Roofs—Including Elon’s House Anyhow, wish the NY plant was up and going so I could maybe get one. In other solar roof news: go check out Forward Labs that is building a solar roof and installs are open...

Bloomberg has another great piece, they really excel in this area. It discusses how renewables are disrupting the power grid, in a good way, and how family could use a service like Griddy to become wholesale power buyers. If I had a Tesla in TX I'd be signing up this weekend. Anyway, look...

Electric Cars to Rival Tesla's Powerwall in Nissan Deal Crazy high price. Not sure what to say but this would sure kill those leaf batteries in a hurry.

Wondering who is making the various major sub assembly components, who makes the motor? We know Continental AG was doing parts of the electronics package but We know the battery is a Tesla/Panasonic partnership, who makes the electronics package like the BMS, etc. I know that mobile eye is...
