CNBC:
Tesla didn’t comment directly on the court order when contacted by CNBC, but highlighted a web page detailing its commitment to “replant an area three times the factory plot, with mixed trees native to their habitat and the potential to become an old growth forest.”
Welcome back, Engineer. 
Off on one again
Didn’t get round to selling @ $800 on Monday because the market was closed. Just gone to sell now and they are at $910. So now i’m torn again 
This guy is already rich as fuck. The 46k he invested was nothing for him. When you have big bucks you. An take big punts.
So in USA you can options trade in your tax free savings acount. Can you trade financial derivatives in an ISA?!
He’s done it again!!! 70k to 1.5M!!! Sorry no ISA or equivalent in Ireland, I’m not sure about that.
This post reminded me we don’t talk enough about the quality of the team.
I’ve been blessed to be a part of some pretty awesome work squads in my life, but none have compared to the Tesla family I was a part of in Auckland. My co-workers were everything you could ask for in a team:
Elon has created a management pipeline that puts a premium on folks who embody all of these characteristics, and I can confirm from personal experience: It’s paying off BIG-time.
This pattern is only set to continue, since there’s no company on the planet that generates the same amount of hype among the next generation of forward-thinking minds. There’s no doubt about it- working at Tesla has become the new bar for progressive job-seekers in the 21st century.
From an investor’s point of view, it’s good to know that the Tesla team is as strong as any on Earth, and the continuous recruitment of top talent should be a breeze.
I read the thread on that, I think it was still the same options play, he just hasn’t sold it.
It’s just you and high frequency traders.
Afternoon,
When you invest in Tesla, do you also get exposure to SpaceX or is this separately controlled?
Regards
SpaceX is private. It’s not included in Tesla. Although Solarcity is included.
Somewhat diluted but investing in Alphabet will give you exposure to space x. Roll on fractionals.
Hi all,
Is it still worth investing a little in Tesla at this current time. I know its seen resonable gains but don’t want to fall somewhat foul of jumping on a bandwagon or should I be looking elsewhere.
Thanks 
Very interesting to hear that from an insider pov, Connor - thanks for sharing.
I think it’s really important to build passion and belief in the product from the inside of the company out.
Clearly, Tesla employees are evangelising the product and it’s become infectious externally.
Tesla used to use NVidia’s tech for the SDC capability (for inference etc, in deep learning speak). Now they build water-cooled harware themselves inhouse (HW3 and, soon, HW4) for Autopilot.
NVidia’s next comparable chip - Orin - capable of processing a high amount of info won’t be available until 2022-2023.
Most of NVidia’s revenue comes from the gaming and data-centre business. They may be too big and too spread out to build a great HW-like chip. Also, Tesla owns the hardware and software, so know how to optimize one for another, since battery performance can be affected by power-hungry chips.
If you can go vertical, go vertical:
Most parts inside the Model 3 do not bear the name of a supplier. Instead, many have the Tesla logo, including the substrates inside the ECUs. This suggests the company maintains tight control over the development of almost all key technologies in the car.
The “old auto” is highly dependent on the supply chain network, so pivoting would be hard. Also, car manufactures mostly build hybrid/petrol/diesel-powered engines, while outsourcing most of the rest, as far as I am aware.
