Tesla Has an Incredible Plan to Rebuild Puerto Rico’s Power Grid

To make one of Lenovo’s laptops a part of the family, see here. But the faith of the bulls has been severely shaken by events over the past week. By GCR staff0 CommentsThe government of Puerto Rico is hoping to take up an offer made by Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla, to replace the island’s electricity grid with a solar powered system.

And patient they are.

But Ferrari isn’t experimenting with production, whereas Tesla is striving to automate as much of it as it can.

However, while Tesla has yet to provide more details on the Model Y’s specifications, several publications have provided rendered images on what the car could look like. To build an EV they can get to market quickly, build easily, and price below $40,000, other manufacturers are adapting the existing gas-car platform.

“We continue to maintain our more cautious Model 3 ramp, which is far below company targets”, Goldman analyst David Tamberrino wrote in a note to clients on Oct. 3.

In latest trading session, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) moved down -0.04% with 8.31 Million trading volume. “That’s horse and carriage stuff”, a veteran manufacturing consultant was quoted saying. This should be an issue for customers concerned about Tesla’s history of quality issues.

Sure, Model S sales haven’t rebounded all the way to record quarterly Model S deliveries achieved just before Model X production started ramping up, but deliveries this high – five years after the Model S first launched – bode well for the Model S’ staying power.

In premarket, Tesla shares dipped 1.79% at US$350.50.

The island’s governor responded to Mr Musk with the message: “Let’s talk”. Goldman Sachs reaffirmed is sell rating and noted that Tesla’s future fortunes are directly related to the company’s ability to hit its production deadlines on the Model 3. Making Puerto Rico a green energy haven is thus a matter of political will, not financial capacity.

The company’s financials indicate that operating loss increased sharply in Q4 2016, and has remained elevated throughout 2017, despite a small dip in Q2 2017.

Tesla has already succeeded with its solar projects in Hawaii and American Samoa.

But he has also braced for “production hell”, as he told Tesla employees who assembled at the factory plant in Fremont this summer to launch the Model 3.
