My .02 on Supercharging on our April 6th solar eclipse road trip from L.A. to TX in our Long Range Model Y Our first day plan is to get to Deming, NM, about 700 miles Left home at 6AM at 100%, First charge stop is at Morongo just off the 10 freeway 250 kw Chargers located near the 24hr...

The Tesla service/sales/delivery center near us in southern California is using a closed dealership parking area for storage. It is fully packed with Teslas. Drove by there yesterday as a car carrier truck load of eight Teslas was parked outside. It was very clear there were only three spots...

Also stopped by the Upland Tesla sales/service/delivery center in our area in southern California last Saturday. I talked to the store manager there, who said they had ten deliveries per hour, including three Cybertrucks that day.

There is a new Tesla sales/service/delivery center in our area in southern California New Teslas are being stored nearby at an unused dealership lot. It is packed full, with about 200 new Teslas, and trucks are dropping off more at least daily. The last truck dropped off updated 3s. I do a...

Careful, a lot of people get upset when you mention lack of charging for renters/people who have to park on the street. This has been my experience over the last several years. What are possible solutions? Level 2 charging at workplaces will go a long way to solving this. Tesla gives access...

Driving north on I-5 from LA to SF, I've spotted a few of the empty Tesla car carriers going north, they are Mack trucks clearly marked as Tesla vehicles. Tesla owns a few and probably does the low hanging fruit deliveries from Fremont to nearby locations.

Elon joined the Whole Mars Livestream, said he will livestream on X in about 10 minutes

Listening to the X livestream hosted by Whole Mars, Elon DMed one of the people in the group and said he was in meetings, and running 30 minutes to an hour late, so an hour and 20 minutes from 4PM PT...? There's a guy on there now who speaks like Elon, and laughs like him too... Edit to add...

Upkeep is a high priority. Tesla requires its technicians to be at a non working Supercharger within 10 hours of it being reported as non working. It may be very helpful to be the simplest design, but it doesn't stay working just because of magic fairy dust. A dedicated team of Tesla employees...

I think a robotaxi will drive at least 500 miles per 24 hour day in the US. =182,500 for 365 days or ~170,000 per year including downtime.

I'm looking forward to gas station pull thru style EV charging in the US so I can charge my Cybertruck while towing, where the only issue will be remembering which side the charge port is on!

Aptera is definitely on board https://aptera.us/congress-tesla-superchargers-and-plugs-should-be-the-u-s-standard-for-evs/

One aspect of Bezos selling a $billion of stock every year is that he actually did pre-announce that he would be doing that. I would be fine with Elon announcing that he will sell $x amount of stock every year to invest in things he feels are important. Actually with the urgency he has with...

Yep, when the monthly gasoline bill is the same as an EV monthly payment, then it's a no-brainer. I talked to a full time Uber driver who rents a Hertz Model 3, he said renting is the same cost as his gas bill driving his old Honda CR-V

Closing Price $891.29 Not divisible by 3..:(

His beating the drum for buybacks seems to me like financial engineering merely to boost the stock price, and doesn't seem to be in tune with the Tesla mission. Gary Black is extremely motivated for the stock price to rise. He is responsible for not just himself, but all his fund owners...

Fremont; All S and X gone from test track area. Delivery area very quiet. Both casting machines running. https://www.tesla.com/inventory/new/ms?arrangeby=relevance&zip=91210&range=200&referral=douglas38452 14 total Model S available in inventory in these 4 zip codes; 00501, 33109, 90210...

This pretty much shows that Johnson is a fossil fuel shill/troll.

re, discussion of the European Union (EU) 2035 new ICE sale ban; There hasn't been much discussion of this EU 2035 ICE ban, probably because most know that there won't be any sales of new ICE in 2035 anyway, with or without a ban on new ICE sales. The EU already has sales of 10% EVs and is...

Thank you Gigapress. It makes me wonder how much analysis Gary Black or Leo Koguan does when they are squawking for TSLA to do buybacks. There is huge global demand for EVs, and plenty of $$ to be made with solar+battery storage. TLDR: two words; SCALE UP

I was also intrigued by Tesla saying they recycle their aluminum wheels into their aluminum castings I don’t believe Tesla has aluminum smelting capability at any of their factories. Giga Austin had/has a contractor hauling away their scrap castings. Jeff Roberts on Youtube followed one of...

Could this be related to the new expansion to be built next to the vehicle loading area? The new phase of expansion will begin this month, and the location will be on the east side of the new car parking lot. Perhaps next year, the production capacity of GF3 will be Tesla's highest plant...

Tru dat

This also ties in with the thinking from the general public that if some startup (Tesla) can make electric vehicles, then surely EVs will soon be available at my local OEM (Toyota, Ford, VW etc.) dealership right? Many people are expecting their next auto purchase to be an EV, but were waiting...

A portion of the the Hertz Model 3s will be available for rent in Europe, which would assume they will be coming from Giga Shanghai https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2021/10/25/hertz-orders-100-000-model-3-electric-vehicles-tesla/6172005001/ The cars will be delivered over the...

LOL, what can I say? it's for the action, if they are green tomorrow, will close them out. TSLA going up another ~40% by Friday would be pretty sick.

Hertz will provide free charging for the Tesla Model 3 rental. (Edit; Willow Hiller said the same thing about 5 minutes before me) https://www.hertz.com/blog/electric-vehicles/tesla/model-3/faq/charging-the-model-3/

Don't feel too bad... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/12/us/nuns-steal-money-school.html Over the course of roughly a decade, the sisters embezzled a “substantial amount” of money from the school, Msgr. Michael Meyers, the pastor of St. James Catholic Church, said in a letter to parishioners...

Amazing video by Wuwa showing Triton Ace being loaded with Tesla Model 3s

Tesla bot is a logical next step; Solve FSD, and it can be used in applications other than for a passenger vehicle. There are so many repetitive boring jobs, many of them are in third world manufacturing, but there are still plenty of conveyor belt type jobs where the same item is placed by a...

Yes, it would sell well. In North America a compact EV pickup truck would sell well too. It used to be that a compact pickup truck was cheaper than a car, up until the 2000s, then they all became midsized pickup trucks. Ford may or may not have an eye to this with their new hybrid Ford...

Ah, was wondering why there were so many open options at these strike prices. Congrats! and you probably are one of many, and I'm thinking that it could be a factor in holding down SP price, but I don't know enough about that to say for sure. TSLA Jun 18 2021 4 Days to Expiration Open...

Some great BEV sales numbers out of Norway. 60% BEV sales for May 12% BEV countrywide vehicle fleet Must be starting to have an impact on fossil fuel sales. Of course for the rest of the world it still pays for the fossil fuel industry to put out FUD about EVs Every day they delay EV sales...

I'm going to speculate that there will be another Tesla carrier to EU out of the East coast for this quarter. Based on my friends experience, California waiting room on TMC, and FB Tesla Southern California, My friends and many others in California are getting their delivery dates pushed...

Also disturbing that this shows up in my TDAmeritrade account,

More RHDs being loaded onto car transporters in Shanghai. 5:55 -7:47

how many vehicles in this pic..? c. 1000..? Enough for half a roro..

For all the talk of what's fair, and how much people are willing to pay for FSD, I would say that there are a tremendous amount of people who would be willing to pay a high premium for FSD. What does true Full Self Driving offer? It relieves the passenger of any liability, which in the US is...

Also RHD here, at around 12:40 drives to be 3rd in line behind car carrier and around 13:30 driver exits on the right

RHD vehicles at Giga Shanghai Being charged and parked ready for loading on to car carriers. Note the driver at around 1:00 who drives to the booth, drives past and back around to the line of white Teslas, parks at the back, gets out on the right and walks to the front car and gets in on the right

Based on the high number of sales of Teslas here in Southern California, it could be something as mundane as a warehouse to supply parts for the service and sales centers.

Hey Mr. M here is a comparison of a Tesla Model 3 next to a Toyota Corona

Pretty sure the factory for the "China designed car" is already being built on existing land. I agree with this guys comments that were posted to the article.
