Nice recovery from open, didn't see any specific news for that, but I welcome it...
I will just add that the 4680 is a form factor, much like a AA battery. The process and internal design will vary quite a bit depending on the manufacturer and how it is being used.
At the end of the day, isn't 4680 technically just a size in millimeters that could have any sort of chemistry/structure inside?
DBE is the reason for reduced factory footprint due to no drying ovens.Yes, and doesn't require DBE either, just dramatically reduces the manufacturing footprint and through-put
AFAIK the real big deal with 4680 is the tabless design for efficient electron transport, hence keeps cool, less expansion, less degradation, more power delivery

No mention of the 10-Q? I’m too lazy and incompetent to read it but it’s always great to see other peoples intelligent comments
Bad Mayor. Some risk with her. Seems she's outgunned by pressure from hotels & others. I'm a big believer in Boring if it can get to scale. each of her points can be proved or countered rapidly just by building out & by having higher capacity OR automated vehicles. I'm also a fan of Boring likely being a customer of Tesla.Las Vegas approves 68 miles of underground transportation tunnels
The Elon Musk-owned Boring Company plans to build out an underground transportation system in Las Vegas featuring 81 stations after an expansion approval.www.reviewjournal.com
68 miles of underground tunnels and 80+ stations approved in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas Loop has had over 1.2M passengers since operation started 2 years ago. Also, max daily capacity so far has been 32k passengers.
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman isn’t sure the project will ever come to fruition, but voted in favor of the extension anyway, due to the urging of the various resorts and other entities in downtown.
“I am one who just does not believe will come to be, certainly not in my lifetime,” Goodman said during Wednesday’s meeting. “Hopefully in the lifetime forthcoming. Moving three and four people at a time does not get this on … I want more accessibility, I want to move people more easily and I’d like it to happen immediately, because we need that movement of people now.”

Tesla was downgraded to neutral from buy at UBS, though its price target was increased to $270 from $220. “Tesla remains the undisputed truly global..."
Lies….What do we all think about this?

Wish they'd build a few tunnels from say, NJ suburbs to Long Island and NYC, illustrating the relief the Boring tunnels can provide for thousands of commuters every day for a fraction of the terribly inflated cost of building subway stations and such.Las Vegas approves 68 miles of underground transportation tunnels

Oh man, that Mayor is an idiot. She could reach out anytime and ask for Boring’s timelines but instead thinks with her emotions and doesn’t feels like it’ll happen in her lifetime. You can just see that Boring is going to start replicating their boring machines once they have a design they like.Bad Mayor. Some risk with her.

If a stock is at 265 and you project it's going to 270 in the next 12 months, that's hardly a smokin hot buy.Lol, anutter Wall-E 'up-is-down-grade'.

Doubtful. Returned shares would directly decrease the share count and would not show up retroactively in 2022More 10-Q goodness? (are these the surrendered share options from Directors?)

Net Income per Share of Common Stock Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
Furthermore, in connection with the offerings of our convertible senior notes, we entered into convertible note hedges and warrants (see Note 10, Debt). However, our convertible note hedges are not included when calculating potentially dilutive shares since their effect is always anti-dilutive.
The strike price on the warrants were below our average share price during the period and were included in the tables below. Warrants are included in the weighted-average shares used in computing basic net income per share of common stock in the period(s) they are settled

We reached out to Toyota for Corolla numbers, and the automaker reports it sold 740,561 Corollas worldwide in the first quarter of this year, counting all versions including the Cross.

If a stock is at 265 and you project it's going to 270 in the next 12 months, that's hardly a smokin hot buy.
So $270 is the target close this week?
**Edit: Hat-tip to Cobos for noting the glaring error in the article and getting that fact posted before I could assemble all of the below. I'll leave my reply here to provide the evidence of the MSN article/author's failings, and thusly clearly show the Tesla Model Y is well-deserving of the sales crown.**
I'm actually pretty sure there's 2 major mistakes in that MSN article:
- They are attributing the Model Y announcement/achievement to Elon...but in actuality, it seems to have been calculated by JATO plus official estimates, and reported by Motor1 (Tesla Model Y Was The World's Best-Selling Car In Q1 2023 ). From the bottom of that article: "Note: The totals shown in this article are the sum of JATO data for 53 markets plus official data/forecasts for 31 other markets and estimates for the rest of the world."
- There's pretty much no way Toyota Corolla plus Corolla Cross numbers totaled 740,000 for the quarter. Note the chart from Motor1 below:
- View attachment 959209
- The Corolla figure says it "includes all body types." If that includes the Corolla Cross, and I think it does, then everything makes sense and MSN's author is fully wrong. But, if the Corolla count here doesn't include the Corolla Cross, then we can still be certain that the Corolla Cross sold fewer than the Camry's 166,000...so AT THE ABSOLUTE MOST, the Corolla plus Corolla Cross figure would be 256,000 + 166,000 = 422,000. Nowhere near 740,000...and again, I think that even 422,000 is wrong.
Further evidence that there is something askew with MSN's figure is the 2022 data for global sales.
Unless there was some unique event that delayed or pulled forward a huge number of sales, that 740,561 Corolla number for the quarter would imply nearly 3 million Corolla + Corolla Cross annually.
Meanwhile, the 2022 figure seems to be just over 1 million, based on my quick Googling of the 2022 results:
View attachment 959197
Again, maybe my Googled results are wrong...but 1.12 million Corolla sales in all of 2022 just doesn't mesh well with a supposed 740,000 Corolla sales in just Q1 of 2023.
1.12 million total global sales in 2022 would mean average quarterly sales of fewer than 300,000....pretty consistent with Motor1's figure for Q1 2023.
I believe that 1.12 million figure also includes the Corolla Cross already, but I'm not sure. But, whether or not the Corolla Cross was included in 2022 seems irrelevant, because the historic sales of that model seem to be only a fraction of total Corolla Sales (From Wikipedia's article on the Corolla Cross: Toyota Corolla Cross - Wikipedia ):
View attachment 959204
Those are full-year/annual figures, and it looks like in 2022, global Corolla Cross sales were under 300,000 for the whole year...less than 100,000 per quarter.
I just don't see how any of this suddenly shifts up to 740,000 Corolla + Corolla Cross sales in a single quarter.
So, I see three possibilities:
- Perhaps that MSN article's number is grievously wrong, and the author didn't both to sanity-check, OR
- There was some significant event that concentrated nearly a year's worth of Corolla+Corolla Cross sales into Q1 2023, OR
- The MSN article is correct and it is no fluke. Toyota effectively tripled their production and sales capability for the Corolla + Corolla Cross in one quarter, and nobody reported on it until this..
Personally, I lean toward Option 1 above, and the Model Y did indeed take the sales crown. But, of course the author here had to "check up" on Tesla's announcement but not even do the smallest level of sanity check on the figure they published for Toyota.
Even if number 2 is correct, that would imply that, for the whole year, the Model Y will still come out ahead -- Toyota would have to return to its usual sales pace for the rest of the year.
If 3 is correct (and that is a huge IF), then Toyota worked some sort of miracle and nobody reported on it...and we have underestimated them.
Anybody got a way to report this up to MSN's author and editors?
