A new place to plug in. @TeslaCharging announced a 12-stall Lorton, Virginia Supercharger on Nov 1. What makes a charging stop worth returning to: reliable plugs, food, lighting or price? The best answer may not be the biggest kW number. AI concept art.
Tesla’s Norway registrations jumped 130.7% in October to 1,548, says OFV. Yet January-October remains down 3.9% year over year. @SawyerMerritt, rebound or delivery timing? Which trend deserves the headline? AI concept art.
Fort Worth joins Tesla’s Robotaxi rollout today. @DirtyTesLa is excited about the geofence. What wins repeat riders first: a bigger map, lower fares or reliable pickups? Curious what the first rides reveal. AI concept art.
What does building the next chapter cost? Tesla reported $2.76 billion in Q3 research and development expense, up 69% year over year. Spending buys development work, not automatic breakthroughs. AI concept art.
Your next Wi-Fi upgrade might be overhead. United reported Starlink on nearly half its daily departures on October 15 and launched a flight tracker. Check the actual flight, not just the airline name. AI concept art.
The charging money trick? More sessions within the same peak demand can spread fixed demand charges across more energy. Tesla’s October guide explains the economics. A useful business lever, not guaranteed profit. AI concept art.
Could your driveway keep the lights on? Tesla lists US and Puerto Rico Model 3/Y orders after October 1 as Powershare-capable. Home backup still needs compatible hardware and setup. Not every older car qualifies. AI concept art.
A $30 billion headline worth reading twice. Tesla signed three credit agreements in September with $30 billion in aggregate commitments. Borrowing capacity is not cash already received. The distinction matters. AI concept art.
How much runway does Tesla have? Its Q3 filing lists $45.45 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30. That is a balance-sheet cushion, not a guarantee that every big bet pays off. AI concept art.
