Tesla is facing scrutiny over Autopilot’s auto lane change feature, may be considered illegal in Europe

"Elon Musk dismissed claims that Tesla's German Gigafactory will suck up too much water, but experts say there's not enough to go around"

"Location of Tesla's German Gigafactory has experienced droughts due to climate change, Bloomberg reported.

Experts told Bloomberg there won't be enough water in the area when Tesla scales up its factory."

"Groundwater levels in the Brandenburg area have been dropping for the past three decades because of climate change, and the region has experienced droughts in each of the last four years, Bloomberg reported. That means there wouldn't be enough water for residents when Tesla scales up its factory, experts and local authorities told the newswire."

An initial court hearing is set for early March. Experts are apparently suggesting that phase 1 of the factory may be ok, but further phases will demand too much water.

Even the German water table is conspiring to prevent Tesla competing on a level playing field! Dirty (and shrinking) pool.

Stil it's not like this has been bought up before, or there was any possible way for Tesla to find out before building the factory...

Judging by how things went with Space X Musk's solution will be to try and force out other consumers of water to make more available for his factory.

Elon Musk to the SEC: ‘I didn’t start the fight, but I will finish it’

Coincidentally tsla down 7% and a further 1.8% afterhours.

These issue are trivial compared with the potential energy shortages in Germany due to geopolitical forces added to the potential restrictions in wheat supplies from Ukraine and Russia.

Unless there is some resolution of the standoff with Russia over Ukraine it seems likely that German manufacturing will have to pay a lot more for its energy, if supplies can be obtained and at the same time the rise in hydrocarbon prices will be murderous for German combustion engine businesses.

As of now markets are not imho correctly pricing in these effects on German manufacturing and seem to be assuming that the Ukraine crisis will amount to nothing.

Unless there is some clear evidence, I have seen none, that the Musk brothers colluded this kind of press speculation will imho lead nowhere.

Starlink turned on for Ukraine:

Does Russia shoot down the satellites? Think this unlikely & starlink may get big orders from western governments to send many more starlink dishes to Ukraine.

Interesting development!

Regads,

Which bit exactly do you consider press speculation?

[odysseus2000]

I look at the 7 % pop in Tesla share price today, the new opening date for Giga Berlin & then yawn at all the press mischief making.

The press are reporting an ongoing SEC investigation. How exactly is that mischief making?

[odysseus2000]

The press have missed out the Musk lawsuit against the sec being dismissed, the millions owed to Tesla shareholders by the sec & a whole load of other stuff & yet Tesla stock moves a lot higher. Are the media helping investors or just making mischief as a click bait?

Regads,

...also how can the press not reporting 'the Musk lawsuit against the sec being dismissed, the millions owed to Tesla shareholders by the sec & a whole load of other stuff' be click bait? If there are no reports there is literally nothing to click!

Meanwhile press report ongoing investigation in to the Musk brothers for insider trading using such spurious known facts as Kimble made a sale the day before Elon launched his infamous Twitter poll, the sale was outside his ongoing pattern of sales, it was bigger than trades in his ongoing pattern of sales, and the disclosure of the sale made no mention of being carried out under a 10b5-1 plan, a system specifically designed to allow company insiders to trade stock in that company without opening themselves up to accusations of insider trading.

Thanks Ody. Given the derision you poured on VW for actually meeting their release date for the id.3 despite the onset of a pandemic it's good to see you aren't trying to hide this piece of Tesla vaporware which even hopelessly optimistic Musk acknowledges is going to be a minimum of 2 years late off the line.

Yes, they pumped out some bug riddled lemons, but well below their estimated production. Now they are at the mercy of Putin. If he cuts off Russian gas, VW have to shut down.

Disingenuous, we bought an ID3 as an experiment in owning a BEV, not one problem so far, very simple and user friendly......my wife absolutely loves the smooth, quick acceleration, best car she has ever had........by far !!

Teslas are superb also, by the way.

You really shouldn't be so negative.

There are plenty of ID3 horror stories too, but nice that yours is a happy buy.

I have long believed that the best car for anyone is the one they like the most.

So far I have not personally met anyone who has bought a BEV and wants to go back to ICE although I am sure there are some examples and many on YouTube.

Thanks for the reply.
Well we also have a petrol Duster for my golf, fishing and for longer journeys.

Due to poor and often vandalised charging facilities in Scotland and range anxiety, especially in really cold weather, we certainly would NOT have a BEV, if we didn't have the ICE as backup. We are really treating the ID3 as a very, very nice toy for local journeys and certainly NOT as a solution for our future mobility requirements. Battery energy density has a long, long way to go before BEVs can be considered viable.
