on another note I want to take a new long position in TSLA. Thinking of taking a partial position before todays earnings ( or lack of earnings )announcement and the balance after just in case they surprise. Lots of bad news baked in. Regardless, I think this is a company you have to own for the next 10 years. The greedy person in me hopes the stock gets pummeled tonight so I can swoop in.

Profits are still a ways off, but this is not your average company, Tesla is ultimately a battery company, that's what will drive returns over the long haul. It could revolutionize the energy market, but that's no certainty, so there is a lot of risk still, but the stock isn't going to trade, just based on current fundamentals for a long time.
The decline in the stock price this morning is now around 8%, hmmm.

I don't follow the technology all that closely, but he'd be better off working on a way to use solar power to recharge his car battery/ies so that one wouldn't need to find a place to plug them in.

Shorting is when you borrow shares to sell from your broker with the expectation that you will be able to buy replacement shares at a lower price in the future. I've never done it, but IIRC there may or may not be a time limit by which you have to pony up. There's always the risk that you will end up buying more expensive shares to honor your deal.

It can also be done more easily by buying and inverse ETF that is basically betting against the underlying asset. Shares trade just like any other equity.

That's why you'd have more than one battery so that you can recharge the low one while continuing to drive on the full one; sorta like why 18 wheelers have more than one fuel tank. If you can get sunburned on a cloudy day, you can probably run a solar cell on a cloudy day too.
Yep.. or like liquid propane tanks for bbqs and outdoor heaters.. switch the pattery pack with a charged one in less time than it takes to fill a gas tank... it's coming
Pick your poison. Right now my poison is 80 degrees and sunny
Thats the poison I chose also.
I do believe that the answer will be within the batteries and moving parts of the vehicles rather than little solar panels on a roof. Might even be wind turbine driven, such that the car is recharging while being driven. Instead of a radiator is a little windmill.
imagine a solar array at that giant truckstop in Barstow, CA, for those who have driven east from SoCal, you know the one... all the gas stations will also have battery packs that charge in the desert...
how about a mag lev rail line, again powered by solar arrays, running like spokes from the cities out to the boonies, where they're powered from., could carry a lot of stuff that's currently flown using fossil fuels, BA may actually be a good short... until they develop solar planes and spaceports someday.. or anti-grav..
<< <i>Yep.. or like liquid propane tanks for bbqs and outdoor heaters.. switch the pattery pack with a charged one in less time than it takes to fill a gas tank... it's coming >>

There is an annual contest, a coast-to-coast race between competing engineering departments from several universities to see who can design and engineer the best solar-powered vehicle. Typically, they have problems on cloudy days. And nobody sets any speed records either. I think it's a recharging rate problem.
Solar panels and batteries wear out just like tires and engines. Photocells lose their photoreactivity over time & use. Also, the issue with batteries is going to be duration of the battery life, i.e. how often the batteries will need to be replaced. In addition, the infrastructure for the charging stations is a cost that has to be factored into the cost of the vehicles. Eventually, that infrastructure will also need maintenance and replacement. Nothing is ever free.
If you put a gun to my head and made me bet - I would bet that the fossil fuels won't run out before Elon Musk runs out of people who want to throw money at him.
Solar makes more sense for heating a structure than for powering a vehicle, in my opinion.

Hydrogen fuel cells are also an option - PLUG power retrofits them on materiel handling equipment (and now airport tugs, etc) in place of batteries - only takes a few minutes to fully recharge instead of hours. VW just purchased $80M of info from Ballard Power (who makes the hardware for PLUG) for their vehicle research and development.

<< <i>Thank you guys for answering my question earlier about "shorting a stock" .
I have much studying to do with regards to the stock market and investing.
In addition and with regards to a question asked earlier, here is an update through my message box in EBAY, received today:
"Hey Twosides. A couple of the posters on the precious metals forum are looking for me. On Tuesday I tried to log in after a long weekend off and apparently got banned. All is well and if you could pass the message to a member or two on the PM forum it would be appreciated."
