In other words our only concern for your health and welfare is our financial interest?My decision to invest in ticker TSLA a few years ago was 95% based on MUSK and 5% TSLA. For shareholders, can Mr Musk assure us that he is in good health, and gets medical check-ups regularly (unexpected news would be unfortunate for MUSK & TSLA. i.e JOBS & AAPL)
Poor question IMO. What makes you think we have any idea of the automotive margins?I like this question and think that answer will be very telling for proper modeling of future profits, but am concerned that it is to blunt to be selected. Please don't take it personal, I just think that Elon publicly acknowledging abandoning the $250/kWh price and explaining why, is very unlikely.
I'd like to suggest the following edit/alternative:
"With the reveal of final pricing for Powerwall and Powerpack products on Tesla Web Site, they seem to have approximately the same gross dollar profit per the kWh of batteries used as an automobile side of the business (Model S/X). Can shareholders expect this uniformity in gross dollar profit per kWh of batteries used in Tesla Energy (TE) and Tesla Automotive (TA) to be maintained in future?"
They've already answered the first question. Yes they can. How is the time to switch relevant? How frequently do you think they need to switch?Can battery cells forautomotive applications and battery cells for Energy Storage applications be manufactured on the same production line at the GF? How long it would take to switch battery cell production over from the Energy Storage to Automotive application?
Probably need to wait until battery costs come down. In the meantime they have a pretty full plate.Dave said:Does Tesla have any aspirations to get into the commercial trucking industry?
It will occur after the prices and energy density of batteries, and prices of sensors etc. drop enough that they can be updated on the MS-MX.When will part 2 of Model 3 reveal occur?
