Another silent reason to be bullish - Hertz etc. profitability:
Hertz etc. may go crazy buying up Highlands.

Yes, all. Every non-US producer of cars uses the metric system.Nope, not all.
when will you put this guy on ignore ? drives me nuts seeing long winded responses to a troll pretending to be an investorDelivery numbers that nobody anticipated?
Seriously? How about go through my posts a week ago where I said it was entirely possible that deliveries were going to come in much higher than consensus because of the production rates that Berlin and Austin had achieved in the quarter.
There’s no need to read into the inventory tracking because it’s not an official inventory counter from Tesla. It’s a guy making assumptions and interpreting about how Tesla lists inventory and extrapolating from there. The reason there’s negative connotation is because you’re making it seem like the only way it was possible was fleet sales and then you link to an article from nearly a year ago. There’s no correlation. Tesla simply had/has much better demand that certain Twitter profiles made it seem like
Tried that. Doesn't work. I just get the "reader" formatted version of only the first paragraph available...I launch in private mode, and then quickly hit F9 to go into "Reader" mode to read it.
I posted this since I hadn't heard from Ford or GM if they were REPLACING or AUGMENTING CCS with NACS.
First of all, the topic was not ‘non-American producer of cars’. Go back and reread the original post.Yes, all. Every non-US producer of cars uses the metric system.
That is the US, Liberia and Myanmar seem to be the only remaining Imperial measurement countries, even Jamaica gave it up for metric.
No non-US OEM uses metric in design or production. So, yes, ALL.
Notable exceptions (OEM or not):
-nautical and airspeeds and altitudes still are often accepted as knots, although they are now managed in metric in much of the world and most modern (I.e. 'glass cockpit' aircraft can easily be altered for both.
-wheels and tires are typically measured in Imperial. Tire pressures are almost always in 'bar' (i.e. standard atmospheric pressure) but most inflation devices can accept either bar or 'psi' although the latter is often called 'libra' or some other 'Neo-britiism'.
The vast majority of US automotive design and build uses metric, even though there are the odd holdouts in very traditional toll & die and metalworking among places with very old workforces, but even those are largely vanished.
As for non-US OEM's NONE,
Even Morgan, yes, Morgan, actually lists vehicle specifications in metric, although, I must confess they show power and fuel economy in both. To wit: Morgan Six data excerpt:
Maximum power: 335 bhp (250kW) @ 6,500rpm
Maximum torque: 369 lb ft (500Nm)
Acceleration: 0 – 62 (0-100kph) 4.2 seconds
Top Speed: 166mph (267kph)
Fuel economy (combined): 38 mpg* (8.2 l/100km)
CO2 emissions: 180g/km*
Dry weight: 1,114* kg
Length: 3890 mm
Width: 1756 mm
Height: 1220 mm
Of course they had no choice the UK is metric except for speeds, tyres and the odd antediluvian process.
As a small time Tesla investor, I've decided to gain some first hand knowledge of FSD. Just ordered via subscription to try out for a month. 700 mile trip planned in two weeks. Hopefully can get FSDb.
Happy 4th of July!
So can we finally declare Giga Shanghai as the worlds biggest car manufacturing plant?
Think of Tesla as a taxi company and almost every decision going forwards will make sense. Everything else is a cowbell (not referring to energy/Optimus).
Delivery numbers that nobody anticipated?

No, because Highland
So again with this information, why do you keep incorrectly touting high production rates out of Berlin & Austin?
I repeat, Austin and Berlin are producing less than 4000 per week even though they had burst rates above 5k.
Why are they still so low?
I too think that Austin & Berlin production rates are not as high as the 5k/wk burst rate suggests.This is an odd flex, and properly represents the dissonance in this forum. You were correct that deliveries were higher than we all expected.
But production was not. Troy was off by less than 2% on production. This was an inventory drawdown.
Production / deliveries from Berlin / Austin still indicate about 3500 / week production. See Troy's tweet here (~44000 in the quarter for each location):

The big problem with India is chicken and egg. Building a factory on spec is not really great management. Selling cars with an extreme amount of duty is not likely to have high enough sales to justify a factory. I don't doubt that Elon will eventually create the factory, but I'm not looking to see it anytime soon. There needs to be enough profit in the rest of the world to make a failed factory in India a minor number.India has north of 300 million cars on the road (~4x # on the road in Japan though obviously "cheaper" ones) and is RHD.
Seems that might be a good place to have a factory building RHD vehicles.
Maybe Elon should sit down and talk with someone from there with some authority
Also, good news for folks who complain there's white teslas everywhere!
Respectfully disagree. I know we talked about this a few times before, but I don't feel we are entitled to receive this (granular) information.It would all be so much easier if Tesla just published P&D by facility and model, then we'd all have transparent data. It is not as if we aren't company owners or anything like that.
Shocker, right? I mean, after all the dissonance about how there’s clearly a demand problem because inventory high-This was an inventory drawdown.
I repeat, Austin and Berlin are producing less than 4000 per week even though they had burst rates above 5k.
This is an odd flex. Record production and inventory sold at end of quarter - how truly awful!Why are they still so low?
