Man, haters gonna hate. OK haters, here's something else to hate on. Ever try googling "Tesla model 3 production chart"? You can get @ 20 versions of that chart from multiple sources. It's not hard, try it. http://redgreenandblue.org/2018/06/12/tesla-model-3-sales-blowing-away-plug-evs-us-market/
 anyway-
Event coming up. Invitation only. You can pick up your "Not-a-Flamethrower" at the Boring parking lot.

Not-a-Flamethrower San Francisco Pick Up
Event to be held at the following time, date, and location: Saturday, August 25, 2018 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (PDT)

Event registration is by invitation only. Register with your email address to attend this event.
Get fired up! You are cordially invited to our Bay Area not-a-flamethrower pick up. We look forward to seeing you in a boring parking lot in San Francisco where you will be among the first to pick up your not-a-flamethrower! We are about to liven up our own event by toasting some marshmallows and prepping to take on a zombie horde.
RSVP by Monday, August 6th, 2018 at 11:00 AM PST.
Boring Rules
To attend the pick up, not-a-flamethrower customers must bring a valid form of ID that matches the name on the original order. Orders and tickets are non-transferable, friends and family members will not be able to pick up orders on behalf of not-a-flamethrower customers.
Customers will only be allowed to pick up their not-a-flamethrowers during their one hour pick up window. We are trying to solve soul-destroying traffic, but we are just getting started so please arrive on-time.
Each not-a-flamethrower customer will be allowed to bring one guest only (+1). Choose wisely.
Can't make it? Please let us know at flamethrower@boringcompany.com. We've got a long waitlist and a fellow not-a-flamethrower enthusiast will thank you for it!"
Heh, "get fired up".

The science types can calm down. I’m a scientist, or at least my first degree was. And I can handle reading material outside of journals. InsideEVs is where to get the entire delivery list each month.it should get posted tomorrow.
Anyway, just got off the plane and I’m headed to my car which got a free charge in long term parking so I can drive five hours home from vancouver. The mountains in Bolivia were amazing!

Well balanced article in LA Times today on tomorrow’s earnings report conference call and the questions that should be asked- not on their website yet.
“One owner recently told The Times he’s been making lease payments on his Model X FOR FOUR MONTHS while it’s sat at a body shop waiting for a hood replacement.”
Nice! That tells me Musk has told his peeps “Screw our owners, put every hood from the suppliers onto a new car which we can sell.”
“Given numerous reports of battery failures on Tesla online forums...”
“Musk might also be asked about photos and aerial drone videos posted on Facebook and Twitter that appear to show thousands of Model 3s parked uncovered on huge lots outside Stocton and near the Burbank airport. Tesla’s media relations department said thoseare simply holding areas for cars that are on their way to new owners.”
You mean they can’t even get the cars they build to their owners because their ‘store’ philosophy is so inefficient?

That owner is an idiot.
Drive your car with a damaged hood and then put the new hood on when comes.
To put a hood on your car is piss easy.
Americans are soooo st00pid, spoiled and lazy .....

You phunny, homes. You do know yer homies comprise the largest ethnic group in Norway?
Norway has significantly cut back on the numbers they’re letting in - they are a small country
and their wealth is not infinite. For the most part they’ve not had a lot of issues with their
recent immigrants, especially groups like the Poles and other E Europeans. Sweden, on the
other hand, has seen a huge increase in crime although the gubmint and its media lackeys
have made every effort to soft pedal it. Sweden is holding national elections in September
and some think the Social Democrats could be shown the door for the first time since the end
of WWII!
Norwegians still love us and the Brits. They still send a Norwegian fir tree to be erected in
Trafalgar Square every Christmas. If you go there do not miss the Hjemmefront Museum in
Oslo. It is the Resistance Museum. We stayed at a remote mountain lodge in the middle of
the country that was on the ‘Blood Road’. The Nazis brought Yugoslav partisan prisoners
there to build this road. One Yugoslav died for every 50 meters of road that was built!

Hardly blame them for needing regime change. They took a bunch of hot blooded young guys who live around women who live under tents and turned them lose with a bunch of half naked hot blonde beauties. Then they kept on doing it. If you want to help folks, why not go there and help them. Interesting that Sweden tried to sweep this under the rug by not keeping track of rapes by nationality.
2013 stats, it's worse now.

Somehow they are delivering more Model 3's in the USA than ever. Where is the demand coming from?
Some short-sighted people had nothing but negative predictions about amazon in their first 9 years.

Amazon at least had a revenue stream. Which is a lot more than you could say about a lot of dot com bubble companies.
But Amazon also had first mover advantage. Tesla doesn't.
In its growth years Amazon had nothing like the competition that Tesla has.
Toyota and others are already in the low end all electric market.
The German companies are putting huge resources into the upscale all electric market.
It would be like if Walmart had suddenly decided to compete head on against Amazon for online sales back when Amazon was first offering something besides books.

He was making war on the short sellers.
Trouble is; if he didn't actually have the funding then he was lying and the SEC has him.

Unless it’s coming out of his checking account there’s no way he has that kind of cash so, yes, that is big time manipulation and he should get a room with Bubba in Leavenworth, KS.

Yeah. From my point of view, with really nothing but the media to enlighten me, Elon should be in jail! (I hope I don't look like a fool tomorrow when we all find out what he knows)
Wait, we found out today that SA invested billions many weeks ago, but are blind to the fact that that could happen again. The teaser, taster, went well, now someone is ready to go all-in. It's not impossible, improbable, or unprecedented. Why did we have our panties in a bunch again? Any number of companies like Apple have enough cash sitting around to make this happen. Elon doesn't, all his is tied up in his 20% share of Tesla stock. Not sure why your mind would have gone there first.
