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

    Trucks are far safer for their occupants than motorcycles are for their riders.

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

    ATGATT is the ONLY way to ride responsibly. All The Gear, All The Time. I designed this suit to look like the Apollo 16 Commander's EVA suit and had it custom-made. It came in handy when I was building my audience as a motovlogger on YouTube. I even met some JPL employees this way, one of whom...

    Attitudes like yours are why FSD is already superior to humans. You write like someone who's never ridden a motorcycle in your life. Obviously, FSD is not just about the driver, it's about protecting all other motorists (and pedestrians) from the mistakes error-prone humans make, including but...

    The Y rear is ugly

    So you're lying?

    I'd hate to see your take on pedestrians.

    FSD and the collision warning/intervention system will minimize motorcyclist deaths vs. poor judgment and low skill from the vehicle drivers who cause accidents with riders. Chief among the offenders are the people who fail to judge speed and distance and make a turn in front of an oncoming...

    Trucks don't kill riders, inattentive and low-skill people in vehicles kill riders. Teslas at least can see a motorcyclist and warn the driver in some cases, assuming the motorcyclist isn't riding too fast with insane speed disparity. Better yet, a Tesla in FSD mode will respond better than a...

    I know at least one person who disses Elon because of political differences but he still drives a Tesla. :D

    This reminds me of tire companies buying and dismantling companies which were poised to reduced tire sales. Could be a block move by BP.

    Tesla is not for the faint of heart or the casuals. I agree that 80 hrs. a week seems like a lot, but he's in hardcore mode. He wants people like that around him. Do I think it's the best way forward? No, but I haven't figured out how to land rocket boosters on their struts either. That's...

    This is normal for Elon, and we saw how he gutted legacy Twitter (now X) and replaced the fat with an agile and dedicated skeleton crew. As others have mentioned, we don't know what Elon knows but he seems very averse to inefficiency in all areas of the companies he runs. There's no way he's...

    *$3,000, $1,000. Dollar sign goes before the number.

    *Teslas (plural), not Tesla's (possessive). My Tesla Model 3 Performance was under $100 for six months through Tesla Insurance. Any other mainstream insurer would have tried to rake me over the coals, especially because it's a Performance model. I'm a 55-year-old male with a clean driving...
