It hits these temps in Phoenix; huge market for Tesla's. They have cabin overheat protection plus you can start the AC from an app on your phone. Really nice!

The growth numbers to keep an eye on aren't ecomm, it's AWS and Prime subscriptions.

Volt is a hybrid. They are increasing production of their EV Bolt. And plan on 20 new all-electric vehicles globally by 2023.

As I said, there is a reason they are all switching to EVs.

The Tesla Model S, in its main US market, is the leader in the luxury car market. Model 3 is the #1 selling car by revenue.

Production is limited to 2 US factories. Worldwide numbers go up fast when they have a Euro factory, Chinese factory, etc.

> GM turned a loss selling nine million vehicles or so, opening a whole line to enter a market which is moving just one million units or so competing with players like Tesla that operate at almost a loss make zero sense.

And yet they are doing it.

GM lost $3.9bn last year.

There is a reason GM, Audi, Daimler etc are shifting to electric vehicles.

Volt = hybrid, Bolt = electric

OSHA completed their investigation and concluded that they are not under-reporting injuries (from the Q3 earnings call).

All but the Nov loans will most likely convert based on share price. Nov ‘18 will be paid per the conference call.

They simply write Cordless Stick Vacuums on the Dyson site. Great product.

Model S delivered, Model X delivered, Model 3 delivered, etc.

Dyson is moving away from solid state batteries. No one has been able to make them work at scale. https://electrek.co/2018/02/15/dyson-all-electric-vehicles-s... (FT article behind paywall)

"a person close to the matter told Bloomberg"

Slow carb/4 Hour Body works really well for weight loss. No counting calories. Just follow a few simple rules. Plus you get a cheat day!

Same as Apple; as a warning to other employees.

Well there is a crosswalk at the light..intersection of Curry & Mill.

What's interesting is the X paved walkway in the median. You can see it here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tempe,+AZ/@33.4364759,-111...

It's a great deal because BMW has issued a stop sale and recall on all i3s https://blog.caranddriver.com/bmw-issues-stop-sale-order-and...

They failed a NHTSA crash test and don't yet have a fix.

Here is a gutted Model S P100D (4460 lb, 2 motors, 100kWh battery) running a 10.4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO8sXUGfjWQ

Roadster will be lighter, have a better drag coefficient, 2x the power (1500hp), 3 motors, 200 kWh battery (?).

According to Electrek's ride along the wheels are "fat" - 325mm rear/295mm front. Dodge Demon's are 315/40R18 Nitto NT05R. https://electrek.co/2017/11/17/new-tesla-roadster-halo/

Should be close!

FE are the leaders in this space. I've used them twice to sell companies, good experience with them. https://feinternational.com

Almost no hydrogen station infrastructure. 34 total stations nationwide (most are in California) http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/hydrogen_locations.html

Amazon captured the MAJORITY of ecommerce growth in 2016. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/01/amazon-captured-more-than-hal... They've made it rough for physical retailers and malls.

Not to mention half of all households in the US have a Prime membership at roughly $99/yr. Allows them to leverage in to video, music, etc with a different value/cost model than Netflix for example.

Here is a good breakdown of that $4.9bn number https://electrek.co/2015/06/02/complete-breakdown-of-the-4-9... Incentives for creating jobs & tax credits.

Not bad compared to the $12 billion cost for the GM bailout and $4 billion+/yr for oil & gas subsidies.

Love the Grand Prix Du Canada. Easy to get to through walking and the Metro, great fans, awesome city, favorable USD exchange rate (and you can bring in your own beer/drinks/etc)!

I probably won't do Austin again.

Other than no franchise stores and big budget advertising.

Blockbuster had thousands of stores. How could Netflix possibly compete?

Tesla isn't playing Ford's game. The ultimate value of TSLA is in the vertically integrated electric Tesla Network with millions of level 5 self-driving vehicles.

Why would you want an ICE vehicle when you can own a Tesla that drives you & your family anywhere you want, charges itself and makes you money on the side. Closely following that...why own a car at that point? Just order one up off the Tesla Network.

:) just one opinion

I didn't write significantly. Anecdotally, it is better (I own both). Highway self-driving, OTA updates, situational awareness, screens, auto Homelink, GPS air suspension, etc.

It is a tough comparison. E class starts at $52k USD, Tesla Model S at $72k (no fed tax credit, and the 60 will be discontinued soon so jumps to $78k w/ the 75), S class at $97k.

Model S tops out at $160k, S class at ~$250k w/ a S65 or technically a Maybach.

Interior and luxury the S class wins for sure. Performance and tech the Tesla wins.
