After 2 days is still can't digest Elon's sentence: "It's people against Uber...". I trust the guy, it has always been the case, but now I think his mouth was faster than his brains (people love Uber as a service) as if he was getting used to be under the spotlights lately
Nothing changes for me, I'm 99.9% with him (instead of 100), but can anyone give me some color on this please?
It does seem safe to assume the the solar roof to be unveiled tonight is probably a year away from being manufactured at scale…especially since the Riverbed facility needs to be fitted out and Panasonic manufacturing is contingent upon the Tesla/Solarcity merger. So tonight event is likely about creating some buzz; showing the synergies of a residential roof, home storage and home charging; and gauging consumer interest. It’s not likely to alter the stock price in the near term, and may leave bigger questions regarding what the Solarcity installation staff do while awaiting a new product. I would imagine some ‘osborning’ of conventional solar panel roofs once the solar roof is publicized.
I’ve mentioned before, that I think the merged company will move aggressively on commercial installations of solar+battery storage, which Tesla could not have done without a solar installation partner. The prize for Tesla would be with a large national or international retail/commercial chain that controls its own real estate, such that some of its parking spaces are converted to Supercharger spaces as part of the solar+storage deal.
This would show synergy between TE, Solarcity takeover, and Tesla Motors Supercharger expansion. With a single agreement they could sell hundreds of million in solar+storage and simultaneously expand the reach and density of Superchargers while keeping Solarcity’s installers active while the solar roof manufacturing scales. All it takes is one agreement with the likes of Wal-mart, McDonalds (36000 locations worldwide), or a major hotel chain, and the benefits of the merger will be solidified. I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if Elon already has deals worked out that he could announce (pure speculation-but it seems very plausible).
All accounting is an approximation of reality that facilitates making comparisons (period-to-period, similar companies, etc.) consistently.
There is an opportunity cost for those zero-basis RSUs and discounted ESPP shares. If an equivalent number of shares were sold in a follow-on offering, it would provide more cash to the corporate treasury in order to fund CapEX and repay debt.
Is Nate Silver omniscient ?
When you register they give you the option to enter your email address if you're interested in Solar.Interesting.. tesla.com now has a link up for their webcast. And it says "orders will begin soon"

This is how he did in 2012No. He had a terrible record, if I remember correctly, in predicting the Republican primary. But he is usually regarded as the best in part because he does no polling himself.
