How much productivity did all of us collectively just lose? I know I haven't been able to do a thing since 4pm.

I'm using the time to watch long-form Pete Buttigieg interviews on YouTube.
This guy is awesome.

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tesla will post its financial results for the first quarter of 2019 after market close on Wednesday, April 24, 2019. At that time, Tesla will issue a brief advisory containing a link to the Q1 2019 Update Letter, which will be available on Tesla’s Investor Relations website. Tesla will hold a live question and answer webcast that day at 2:30pm Pacific Time (5:30pm Eastern Time) to discuss the Company’s financial and business results and outlook.

awfully long window...

Well, now Elon can't yell at anyone during the conference call for asking a stupid question that would be answered by reading the letter....

The on-hold music is like a Bernard Herrmann soundtrack to a Hitchcock film, given the Tesla context

Accounting rules don’t allow this.

Google "kitchen sink quarter"

The optics of releasing late to quickly explain are even worse than releasing on time.

When has Tesla ever cared about good optics/comms?

And what part of

can't you read?

LOL, you're quoting a – pardon my French – moronic, factually wrong page that's mixing up relative population with the relative car market in the same effing sentence. What a great source you have there, buddy!

This means around 65% of the world has left hand drive cars and drives on the right side of the road while only 35% of cars are right hand drives and drive on the left side of the road.

Green: Factually correct
Red: Made up BS based on a preschool subtraction (100-65=35%) and mixed up wording (population ≠ cars)

What they actually wanted to say is, according to verifiably data (please refer to @Fact Checking 's second post on that topic):

2/3 of the world population lives in countries that are LHD, 1/3 lives in RHD countries.

But that split in population doesn't say jack about the actual market split between RHD and LHD CARS. Why is this so hard to understand?!?!

@Fact Checking's claimed that the split is 70% LHD and 30% RHD which is IMO highly, highly unlikely, hence why I asked him for a source. I'm still waiting for it.

At this point, the whole things is pretty funny to me. I've gone through the excitement stage, nervousness, worrying, and now I'm like "whatever"

 

[M3Rider]

I can't decide if webcast music worries me. I think yes.

 

[ZachF]

At this point, I hope I'm wrong, but....

 

[oneday]

The conference call will just be them reading the letter.

 

[ZsoZso]

They are still passing the report through the new SEC-proof approval system, so just relax, its gonna take some time...

They forgot the password?

These processes you do once a quarter are easy to miss huh?

And my usage is way less even than you describe - I think I've only got 1 "road trip" on Hugo so far, where a road trip is more than 2 supercharger stops away from home. (I figure 2 supercharger stops out and back could still be a day trip).

I have about half of my 122K miles on road trips, however, much less is SC because of destination chargers and starting out at 100% from home.
