Sucks to get stuck with Bluetooth if you want to travel, though... Many overseas airlines will not allow use of Bluetooth headphones, and technically the FAA did not allow them either (just BLE-based devices). And that's not even talking about the audio quality hit you'd get with Bluetooth unless you're running something decent like AptX or AptX HD (neither of which is available on iOS).
Hmm... 128 GB? That's about 160 albums of music (I like redbook quality - FLAC), with all the normal other stuff there. Not much, really. I like having another 256 GB of MicroSD for a dedicated 400 album music library - without touching my main phone's storage.
That's why I have a new Note 8 on Verizon. My Note 5 was solid and got updates every month or so. The new Note 8 has a MicroSD, 3.5mm jack - and most likely will get the same security updates.
Samsung, the biggest cellphone maker of them all, still supports the 3.5mm jack. My new Note 8 has one, and with the 256 GB MicroSD card installed I have a ton of downloaded Tidal albums...
Well now, let's be honest... They are building it right now and it will stop in Bakersfield because no onehas a clue how to get through the mountains to Los Angeles. Every route, every option has failed. But hey - this is California! We don't let a little thing like an insurmountable obstacle stop us from blowing $100 billion! We have people who have to get from Oildale to Fresno NOW!
Correct. In fact, going by the definition of terrorism today, the American revolution was not terrorism in any way, shape or form. There is a difference between revolutionaries/freedom fighters and terrorists. It is the means of trying to achieve their goal and who they attack in trying to achive those goals.
To the best of my knowledge, General Washington and the leaders of the American Revolution did not wantonly assault, maim, and kill civilians in an attempt to cause the English to withdraw.
The fact they are having issues producing even 500 a month means moving to 20,000 per month is simply fantasy without a massive rework. They are not geared to making 20K per month, based upon their issues right now. They may have thought they were - but reality has a way of showing the folly of wishful thinking...
Hi there. Ever heard of SONOS? Yep - I was instrumental in that. It's trivial to build 5,000 Play:1 speakers a month, and an entirely different beast to ramp it to the current ~300,000 per month. There's a reason that Apple can only rely upon Foxconn to build their phones - no one else can ramp up over the course of a year to the volumes needed. Ramping to volume is no a trivial thing, it's nearly exponential as it stresses not just the CM but every single part of the supply chain, all the way to power available at plants (for extra CNCs and machinery) to parking spaces for workers and loading docks for trucks to paper pulp available for packaging.
And the value of their stock vastly grown, because the future revenue picture is vastly higher than if they had stopped expansion and focused on profit earlier.
A future that - right here, this article, says is false. They predict a rosy future and miss it. Meaning it is wishful thinking that is growing their stock. Go ahead and invest all you want - I'm staying out of TSLA until they have a business plan that actually shows them making a profit which they have, to date, not been able to do (either make a profit or show a plan to get themselves there).
A large part of the challenges that Peurto Rico faces is that it is not in fact a country, but rather it is an "unincorporated territory of the United States located in the northeast Caribbean Sea".
And to top it off, most people can't find Puerto Rico to help out because so many people misspell the name!
Hurricanes Hugo and Georges (1989 and 1998 respectively) both wiped out more than 90% of the power infrastructure of Puerto Rico. But each time it was rebuilt as before...
Ten years in. Ten billion dollars spent. Not even ten cents of profit. Tesla is buoyed by the same irrational hype that keeps Twitter and Snap stocks afloat. When does TSLA finally turn a profit? When do they finally start hitting their financial goals? When do you - and TSLA fanatics - realize they are a distant also-ran in terms of the number of PEVs sold (BTW, in August 2017, 16K PEVs were sold in the US - combined, they wouldn't even break the top 20 of all vehicles sold in the US. The GM Volt and Bolt pace - and sometimes outsell - the Tesla S and X)?
Facebook is an American company. There is no Law preventing you from supporting your candidate. It is illegal for Foreign Governments, like Russia, to influence American Elections. Apparently you don't seem to understand nor have you read the Constitution.
Statute making it illegal? You seem so certain - how about posting the statute? You can't, because there isn't one. There are NO restrictions on foreign involvement in elections, as long as the ads are related to issues and general positions - not specific candidates.
Who gives a shit about their current production numbers? Manufacturing, once you get your production line in gear ramps up fast. That's what this story is about, their production line has hiccups. The missed production target in absolute numbers of cars is practically insignificant, they can basically make up for it in a weekend.
Spoken like someone who's never been involved in mass production!
The difference between Tesla and Boeing is that Boeing has exactly ONE competitor - Airbus. If you want a buy a commercial, large jet airliner, you have a choice of two manufacturers. Tesla? GM just this week announced 20+ models by 2020, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes all have all-electric vehicles on the road today, and there are two dozen Chinese brands which sell well in Africa and SE Asia that have electric offerings. Tesla faces two dozen or more competitors, who are actually profitable (Tesla is not, and never has been) AND have their supply and production chain running much more smoothly.
It's not much more than Snap or Twitter at this point - losing billions a year, with a lot of investor hope propping up the stock price. Note that all of Tesla's competition (the number one selling electric plug-in vehicle is the Leaf, BTW) are actually making a profit, and are about to turn on the electric car spigot, flooding price-sensitive consumers with plenty of much more economical options than the Model 3.
Because when Tesla misses a goal, people go back and look at the financials of the company to see how the miss could affect value, and realize that Tesla is losing massive amounts of cash already - and any bad publicity/supply chain failures (like here) will just increase the burn rate - and potentially reduce demand.
The difference now is that Tesla is trying something an order of magnitude bigger than they've ever done before - and they weren't very successful the previous attempts. And they are quickly burning their cash reserves in doing so. It's going to be a race to see if Tesla can get production ramped up before they need to sell a ton more bonds, massively dilute their shares - or go bankrupt.

Sure is a nice little company you have here, would be a shame if something bad were to happen to its infrastructure...

Taxation in PR. No Federal income tax, and they paid about $3.7 billion in taxation. PR gets back about $3 dollars for every one collected in taxation. And the response has been good according to the PR Governor.

When was the last time the US Federal debt dropped, year over year? HINT: the first satellite ever was launched and Elvis starred in Jailhouse Rock.

Young, college-educated, urban women are the biggest Facebook user demographic. Doesn't sound too red-state to me!
Didnt complete your Wall of Text. But Tesla was the First company to sell an all battery powered Car.
Educate yourself.

Without the recent bond sale, Tesla would be essentially bankrupt. They've yet to turn a profit...
