AFAIK they didn't need to increase authorized shares at all for the previous split. They would for any more than a roughly 1.9:1 split now considering shares reserved for SBC.

Does anyone know what the status of the Model X is? I'm starting to think it may go the way it the Plaid+. Hard to believe it's just delayed for 6 months due to a refresh. Or maybe it's just the Plaid X that will go away and the Long Range Plus will go back into production (and just call it Long Range - "Plus" would seem irrelevant now).
They are proving the new battery pack, motors, wiring harness, components and software in the Model S.
The basic shape of the Model X and the falcon-wing-doors, will not change that much.
They do need to ramp a revised production process, and perhaps source some new parts, it may take a while, but I expect Model X sometime this year,
While unfortunate, these delays do help build demand, it is also important to get the product right.
All production ramps are similar, that is why revised versions of the Model Y form berlin and Austin will start with lower volumes,
Once production is ramped, it tends to flow smoothly, so ramping the Model X, should not overly disrupt Model S.

when I called Tesla Fremont earlier this week they gave me an estimate of late September for the delivery of our Plaid S. I inquired about the delivery date of a Plaid X should we decide to substitute a Plaid X for the Plaid X. I was told the delivery date for a Plaid X would likely be December for my place in line at the moment if I switched to a Plaid X.
I feel like if you had asked three months ago, they would have said September for the X. I don’t think anybody knows. If it was at all close, we’d see more than two samples produced (so I’m not that optimistic on behalf of all the reservation holders with August estimated delivery). The fact that they showed it at the S delivery event suggests that it won’t be canceled, though -- nobody really expected to see the X there, so it would have been easy enough to omit if the future of the model was uncertain.

Has Tesla started building a 4680 cell production line in Shanghai yet?
No clear sign of it yet. The new building work next to the new casting are could be related to cell production but more likely other powertrain components since motors seem to be in critical shortage.
With CATL announcing the construction of a new 80GWh cell plant near Giga Shanghai, I expect that will be where 4680 going into MIC Tesla's will be made, along with LG plants. EXCLUSIVE Tesla supplier CATL plans a major battery plant in Shanghai -sources. There could also be some expectation with Chinese authorities around sourcing from local suppliers that would make Tesla more likely to work with external cell suppliers in China. That and a higher risk of IP loss in China for some of the more sensitive elements of Tesla's in-house 4680 production.

Stock split.....mmmm.....I like stock splits. BUT, I've *really* enjoyed the # of outstanding shares being ~1B (963.33M) so that market cap calculations are SUPER SUPER easy. I'll miss that once they announce....but, I'll deal 
Probably the most valuable takeaway from the interview personally was the concept of "depth of passion". It matters the depth of passion people have for a product. And this is what TMC helped the most in the early days. I DM'ed a ton of people in 2012 asking for their early Model S ownership experiences, trying to find out how much better they liked the Model S compared to their previous vehicles. If it was only a marginal difference, I probably would have passed on TSLA as an investment. But overwhelmingly people displayed a super high depth of passion for their Teslas. This formed a lot of my confidence to go heavy in.
Does Mr Musk have that short phrase on Speed Dial?

Mostly Harmless
Not yet, but rumor has it that he will have in two weeks.
Elon has it all.
humanitarian motivation
self learner
genius level IQ
horizontal academic knowledges with micromanaging physics problem solving capacity
entrepreneurial personality
aspergers with the capacity to discard useless players but being socially adapted at the same time
mental strength to turn his father psychological abuse and school bullies into positive strength to endure starting 2 business most likely to fail, managed to resist the mental strain of the 2008 crisis and was willing to sacrifice his whole personal wealth to keep the 2 companies most likely to change mankind for the greater
capacity to endure weeks of extreme workloads
Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein did not have the entrepreneurial side
Edison did not have the humanitarian side
Oppenheimer is probably the one with the closest capacity to micromanage all the chemistry, physics and integrated mathematics problem as he showed in the Manhattan project as other physicist reported. However the world situation was different.
Von Neumann had the greatest mind of all time to solve unresolved theorem in pure mathematics and probably had the greatest IQ however did not have en engineering side.
Newton was a unable to sustain a daily conversation and Einstein was a great humanitarian , both could go on with multiple days of sleepless nights and work for more than 72hours straight when working on their theorem.
thats why I will put all the money I have available into Musk companies.
I have the luck to be able to endure extreme workload and can subsequently invest everything I am able to make into Musk endeavours. And I am just smart enough to understand that it’s the right thing to do
While I am still high on

Chairs these days are taken for granted, in other words, are under appreciated.
One more perspective, a chair that didn’t exist earlier. A baby
Cheers!

Loving how these drops are pre-announced and coming at midnight. Allows for Vlogger's to be prepared and the videos look sexier.
Also:
Anticipation of pleasure is among the greatest pleasures, and is by far the longest lasting pleasure.
Owning TSLA can be a lifelong anticipation of pleasure. Coupled with spurts of actual pleasure. The frustration when the actual pleasure is temporarily deferred needs to be managed, though.
