    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    And the Biden administration continues to inexplicably micro-manage Ukraine's ability to defend themselves using US weapons. This level of equivocation only serves to prolong the war and suffering.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    IMO - the biggest pushback to EV's is the sky is falling rhetoric on Climate Change followed by the government mandates getting everyone worked up that they will be forced into a crappy Prius and choices will be taken away from them. I have personally converted (or at least opened the minds) of...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    Again - for anyone on this board who purports to claim about the well being of Gazans, they should be screaming from the rooftops for the dwindling Hamas leadership hiding in tunnels to unconditionally surrender, release the remaining hostages and to stop firing rockets into Israel. That way we...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    Israel's "international reputation" has been in the garbage my entire lifetime. Anti-Semitism is the world's oldest mental disease infecting both the dumb and "educated". Throw on Tik Tok and other social media, it is easier than ever to whip up Jew hatred. Doesn't matter if Israel was...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    Women must not count? Because virtually every Muslim dominated country (including Gaza and the West Bank) treats women as 2nd class citizens. And we all know how Gazans treat Jews after their disgusting display or rape, murder, torture and kidnapping on 10/7. How do Christians, Jews and...

    Me too. I’m in rental cars for work travel every month and the adaptive cruise control and lane assist in other brands are no where near as good as Tesla’s basic autopilot. Lots of ping ponging between lanes and generally an uncomfortable experience.

    I believe Elon was trying to get a better price after he learned how much of the old Twitter was dominated by fake accounts and bots. Regardless, he followed through and despite cutting 80% of the Twitter staff - Twitter (X) works just fine today and even has more features. BTW - Elon ended...

    I don't think it cost Tesla a bunch of money or time to push out a free 30 day demo to everyone. If anything, it has probably been a net positive with all of the new data and input they are getting from the fleet. I assume they will likely provide free demos again as new features get added or...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I really enjoyed using FSD on my weekly trip to our LA office yesterday. I have been doing the same route for the last 2+ years using autopilot (which is great) - but the lane changing with FSD took it to a whole new level IMO. I went 190 miles round trip driveway to parking lot without any...

    I got one of those too. I convinced one of my surfing buddies to get a Model Y last year and he was aware of the free FSD trial but thought it was only for freeways. His trial expired a few weeks ago and I just got mine last weekend and blew him away driving surface streets to Costco and...

    There is probably more than one Ross Gerber with the institutional shareholders.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Same here. I got the update Friday night and have been driving around all week running errands without a single safety disengagement. Only a couple disengagements due to navigation not taking my preferred routes. The more I drive it the more familiar and comfortable it gets. I also give it a...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Seems like all of my kids' friends in High School are HUGE Tesla fans and they are losing their minds over Cybertruck sightings. Some of my work colleagues in places like Montana, Idaho and Utah are giving Tesla a second look because of Cybertruck and they like Elon Musk. So I'm not too...

    FSD free trial

    I got my update late Friday night and have been using it all weekend. Virtually every single drive has been free of interventions. Absolutely no safety interventions, just one bad navigation decision and I sometimes give it a little throttle where it is being too cautious at stop signs during...
