Great Q3 results, way to go Team Tesla & Elon.

Love this conference call. Love the Q3 results.

:-)

Things move fast in China, but I don't think that fast; I can't see how Gigafactory 3 can spit out cars that fast. I predict first GF3 production spits out Dec 2020...

Wow, all he tweets about is Elon & Tesla. Dude, find something else to talk about!

Wow, below $280 a share. Wish I could buy more shares.

Wow, TSLA stock price looks very attractive to buy more shares.

Other than cash, I don't see how Apple can contribute to Tesla? Sure, Apple designs create computer devices (iphones, etc) but they don't manufacture. Tesla's constraints are not having enough factory floor space to produce everything that comes out of design such as: Semi, Roadster, &, Tesla...

Wasn't Buffet behind the "anti rooftop" solar campaign in Nevada where they changed how much the local state utilities would pay roof top solar owners for their energy that went back to the grid? That ended up pushing Solar City out of the Nevada market where they closed down their Nevada call...

Great informative video. Shame on the so called "financial" news outlets (CNBC & WSJ) that didn't due basic math.

Agree. One problem is that Elon is in a dirty knife fight; but it seems to be him against 100 fighters. He needs more people helping him (other companies pushing EV, Energy Storage, PV, etc.) .

That was a good interview. You can tell how thoughtful he is when he answers questions. It's not BS. He is answering questions with an engineering / physics brain. He should hire an assistant that has an engineering degree to shadow him all day long to help make him more productive...and to...

Nice!

what a horrible idea! Yes, a lawyer should filter Elon (as mentioned above); but most lawyers don't invent new products, don't create marketing plans, etc.

It looks like it is time to buy some TSLA stock at $347 and change. With Q3 & Q4 forthcoming and possible buy out at possibly $420. That's still a 20% return...if it happens. Just wish I had more available cash...

Ditto. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I'm open to it!

I too am concerned about Saudi's long term plans. a. They might want to hedge their future to both EV & oil. b. Diversify their holdings c. Have more sinister ideas of slowing down EV growth to get the most out of their oil reserves d. All of the above e. Something else that I haven't...

Right, Norway has been migrating to renewables and now Saudi is too. They are playing both sides: oil side & renewable side. Agreed, they know where the markets are headed.

looks awesome!

Nice work!

Hello Extreme Autowerks, The 65% Photochromic film is the following: Photochromic Window Film (Transitional) - This is a transition film that gets darker when exposed to sunlight. The film also has a ceramic layer to give a good heat rejection too. Ceramic Sky 70% is linked The Sky 70 is a...

Welcome to the forum! We can talk shop about Tint & PPF! We have some very cool stuff new to market which includes "Transitional" tint that gets darker when exposed to the sun. Goes from 65% VLT to 45% VLT & rejects 46% of the heat (TSER). Cheers!

We work with Car Tint and Photochromic Ceramic Film which transitions from 65% shade to 45% shade when exposed to sunlight. It's pretty darn awesome. Our new catch phrase: Window Tint, It's a Hedge Against Global Warming.

TSLA was the first foreign "Car Mfg" that secured Chinese approval to own 100% of their own "car factory" in China.

Very good point about not wanting a Chinese JV. Some slight differences (thinking out loud which is probably a terrible idea...) Chinese Gigafactory 3 JV - Chinese partner owns 50% of the new plant in China. Tesla would have to share profit with Chinese partner on everything in China. If a...

Yahoo Finance has an interesting article, as per summary below After processing Musk’s letter along with a number of other variables that have emerged, we believe there is a greater than 50% chance Tesla becomes a private company. A privately held Tesla has a greater chance of succeeding than...

The news threads are confusing. I saw that a few times and couldn't tell what was new, what was old & what was BS from haters. Like someone posted earlier, Wall Street doesn't produce anything...they don't add to our GDP; they just gamble with everyone's money.

The China angle is interesting: Tesla just negotiated a new factory in China (or is negotiating) - Gigafactory 3 China is the largest EV market on the globe China is the largest car market on the globe (super high growth rate) China likes premium cars As mentioned above; China wants to...

Elon might be a showman in a engineer / nerdy-geeky type of way, has an ego, is passionate and talks too much sometimes; but he is not a liar. What he says, he does. His timeline is sometimes too aggressive; but he does that to push his employees. He is very honest. He even posts Tesla's long...

You can buy more shares now & keep your investment when/if it goes private. You don't have to sell your shares; they just become private shares.

LOL, I just got it. I didn't notice anything yesterday about $420 stock price.

Or they want to try to influence the EV market...slow it down? I doubt Elon would allow that. Let's just hope their only interest is to diversity their holdings and play both sides of the energy market: oil & Tesla (EV, battery, solar roof).

Interesting read.

Do we know yet who the private investors are that want to pay $420 /share to take Tesla private?

Yes, caught very much off guard with this.

Is TSLA is a buy right now, until it reaches $420 a share? Or too risky?

Thanks for info, looks like it could be Saudi money.

Wow, Elon helped push the burn on the short sellers. It not yet posted, here is his letter to employees.Elon Email To Tesla To Go Private by TintDepot.com posted Aug 7, 2018 at 6:36 PM

China is a premium auto market; Teslas average price should be $50,000-$65,000, so your numbers will be even higher.

I read about the white interior. It looks amazing! And they say not to hard to keep clean too!

Has anyone seen a Photochromic Ceramic 65% film on a Tesla yet? The Ceramic film rejects the heat and the Photochromic gets darker when exposed to light (like transitional glasses). It goes from 65% shade to 45% shade.

Amazing wheels! Do you recommend quality rim protectors to add on those to help prevent damage from my spouse's driving habits?

I love my 70% windshield film, it blocks a ton of heat (Ceramic Film).

"Purple" is caused by having the wrong dye in the film; as the UV breaks it down poorer quality window films can turn purple. I'm surprised that brand turned purple; that's not good at all. Always buy quality lifetime warranty window films that have a warranty "Never to Fade Purple." Premium...

yes, that does make conference call less boring.

Because the US market has shifted to pickups. Pickup trucks are over 50% of the market (when you include SUV's).

Hello from Houston, Texas. We're happy to join the forum since we are huge Tesla & Solar City fans (now Tesla Energy). We have a Power Wall on order. We're here to learn more and share great experiences.

I was wondering the same. I wasn't sure if they have space limitations already?

Right, I haven't noticed any new sections being added in a while. I was wondering if they were waiting for more cash flow or higher battery demand.
