Other smaller stuff too: - Porche's Taycan EV is supposed to be the closest direct competition for Tesla cars, but its having production issues. - Tesla just pushed a new software update that includes a lot of useful features (voice keyboard/commands, an official camping mode, saving camera clips on honk, etc) - A lot of miscellaneous positive press is cropping up from the end of the year and end of the decade type reporting - Time for example put it as one of the "best gadgets of the decade". - They recently released and presumably are testing a paid software update to boost M3LR off the line acceleration, which is an interesting situation to obtain revenue from already sold cars. - Internally they're pushing to sell a lot to break sales numbers before EOY. Some places are reporting that they're even selling showroom floor models. - They secured a US$1.4B loan from Chinese banks for GF3 acceleration, which was already ahead of schedule. - They closed on the land for GF4 and are reportedly looking to start building Jan 2020. - The recent news of possibly reinvigorating the EV tax credits in some way probably also helped. - Solar is ramping up as well.
