People are waiting 3 or 4 months for replacement parts for their vehicles or Tesla has had possession of the vehicle (and the person is using a loner) for a similar amount of time. That won't fly in the mass market.

Banks can reverse transactions if they want to. Tesla's cavalier attitude towards manufacturing has yielded a 14% first pass through rate on the Model 3 line (which is abysmal and may bankrupt the company along with declining M3 demand

It's a national security interest that the United States has a automotive industry that pushes meaningful (3+ million vehicles a year domestically) volume. There is absolutely nothing special about a Tesla BEV other than that unlike mo

I'm not fueled by oil and gas interests - I know a fraud when I see one. I'm short the equity, since dividends aren't a concern. Tesla cannot manufacture at scale - they do not have the experience or capital to execute on thi

I'll believe it when I see positive cash flow being generated through reading a 10-K statement filed with the SEC. Historically, Tesla has never done this without selling ZEV credits (there were those two quarters it posted a profit bu

...at what selling price? M3 Long Range starts at $49K, which can be configured with a $2500 deposit for delivery in a few months. The M3 short range (starting at $35K) can't be configure for delivery at this time.

Pre-orders are overstated. Check Twitter - people who were quoted November delivery for AWD Performance are now being told they can take delivery in July. They'll burn through supposed 450K before the end of Q3, and then the order book

Until Tesla goes bankrupt (which I believe is sooner rather than later - Tesla is sitting on a Wells Notice), the charade continues.

Really? I don't need high clock speeds, I'm looking for a reasonable (48) number of PCI-E lanes and ECC support.

Thanks! *Edit - $750 is a lot for the cheapest threadripper + mobo. I'd be happy with 48 PCI-E lanes around $400 (CPU+Mobo).

The C236 chipset is old as hell (2015) - they're holding back on adding PCI-E lanes, because they can. My hope is that Ryzen 2 shakes things up / Xeon 'Entry' offers a decent board. The Xeon D chips are a total frigging
