Can you talk about your thoughts about Full Self Charging? Inductive or conductive? Timing? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Could you talk about Tesla's plans for Europe. For example: Is the Tilburg facility able to handle all expected Model 3 reassembly? In how many years will every city of 2 million or more have its own Tesla store and service center (mobile or otherwise)? What are expansion plans into Eastern Europe looking like right now? Is it possible Gigafactory 4 will be in the dead center of Europe, in Poland? OK Question Title * 2. Short questions. Long list.(Select all questions that you love.) Do you have any plans to acquire some small/midsized automakers, create partner brands, or license technology to accelerate the mission? Several companies seem to be making progress on commercializing solid-state batteries, most of which are not expected to reach market in EVs until around 2025-2027. What is Tesla’s strategy toward solid-state battery research and commercialization? Are you exploring partnerships, acquisitions, or your own development? When is the app store coming? We read that Panasonic recently helped Tesla expand battery cell production 30%. Is that enough or still a bottleneck? What are the chances of using Boring Company bricks to build new housing for the GF1 employees to help solve the housing issue? You (Elon) have a lot on your plate. You've stated, "Who better to run Tesla than yourself," but is there any serious consideration for a COO-type role to focus on day-to-day management of the company, enabling you to spend more time on product development, company vision, and problem solving? What is the timing for delayed Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self Driving capability? What's the progress on tackling Autopilot edge cases? Will FSD come back with a new Neural Network chip? Subject to changes in the current federal EV tax credit, what approaches is the company considering to offset the future loss of the tax credit to better compete with other automakers for which the credit will still be available? Will cash flow be enough to expand and pay back debt? What is the story behind the discontinuity of the FSD option? Will buyers only be able to buy it for the upgrade price later? It seems the Tilburg factory has reached maximum capacity. How will you bring the Model 3 to Europe? Should Tesla focus its manufacturing on batteries and drivetrains, & partner with contract manufacturers on vehicle assembly, to accelerate the mission? Where is Tesla building the new Full Self Driving computers? Model 3 deliveries blew away the world's expectations, even at a $14,000 premium vs base. How are you expecting that to change for the Standard Range Model 3? The latest Munro Model 3 teardown suggests there are still opportunities to reduce production costs of perhaps a few thousand dollars on the 3. Is the company actively looking at these suggestions and other opportunities that would increase the likelihood of profitability on the base Model 3 version? Will you expand to Europe before, after, or at the same time as you start the production of the Standard Range model? When will you offer extended warranty and maintenance plans for the Model 3? How will the new Mid Range Model 3 version with 260 miles of range and a price of $45,000 affect the launch timing of the Standard Range version? Can you share an update on design and eventual production progress of the Model Y? Could Tesla partner with a company like Fastned to broaden the reach of its SC network? And get easier access to more good locations? Nissan sold most of its battery business. AESC is struggling to make a competitive car battery. Could Tesla partner or provide/sell the design and production technology and equipment for its Model 3 batteries? When will Powerwall production scale and will the product be widely available? How large a percentage of Tesla's revenue can the energy business become? On the map, Tesla coverage of Europe looks nearly OK, but many locations are only sales locations. When will we see a real Tesla dealership/gallery in every European city with 2 million people or more and for China perhaps every city with 5 million people or more? When will the company refocus on solar and start leveraging the Tesla brand to expand solar? What is the trajectory for increased availability of solar paired with Powerwalls across the US? The website says that new orders will be fulfilled starting in late 2018. When is Tesla going to expand stores and service centers in Eastern Europe? Are there any plans to make the Tesla mobile service centers battery driven instead of gas driven? Subscriptions rather than buying or leasing is an emerging trend in the automotive industry. Is Tesla considering offering a subscription model in the future? Can you share a bit about Tesla's plans to upgrade to 350kW (or higher) speeds for the Supercharger network? Do you have any updates on Tesla Pickup progress? Could you talk about progress on the Tesla Semi — production factory, reservations, launching date? What else is V10 software getting other than Netflix, Karaoke, and the cross-country trip? V2G and V2H are hugely promising approaches to leverage BEVs to capture excess green energy and redeploy to the grid and homes when needed. Past statements from executives suggest the company is not a fan of this approach. Why not? When will Tesla get a voice assistant like Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri? Autonomous vehicle tech is progressing but we not not seen the same with autonomous charging. Can you talk about your thoughts about Full Self Charging? Inductive or conductive? Timing? Battery capacity is the single constraint for further growth in Auto and Energy. Can you share a bit about Tesla's battery production capacity over the next 3 years? One of Tesla’s biggest competitive advantages is the Supercharger, especially in tandem with the Destination Charger network, but other automakers and charging networks are beginning to invest in significant charging infrastructure networks and especially fast charging stations. What plans does Tesla have to maintain or even increase its charging network advantages in the future? Other (please specify) OK DONE
