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

    I haven't seen this mentioned in reply to this post yet, but the creator of the feed and video that attended the investors day was seated with employees of 10 years instead of with other retail investors so could ask questions, and also spoke at length with Tom Zhu and he'll be posting another...

    Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

    is that through Scotia directly, or with Tesla via Scotia?

    Tesla BEV Competition Developments

    The Celestiq is almost literally the modern day 6000 SUX from Robocop. Concept and design. Constant tongue in cheek joke through the film about big american cars with "really shitty gas mileage" "It's back. BIG is back. Because Bigger is better. 6000 SUX, an American tradition..."...

    Off topic galore

    As soon as I saw the pics of the Celestiq, all I could think of was that it looks like the 6000 SUX car from Robocop.... Hostage taker : "And I want a new car! And I want the city to pay for it all!" Cop: "What kind of car Miller?" Hostage taker: "Something with reclining leather...

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

    I've only read about half the days postings since market open and didn't see this thought mentioned... During the AI presentation, Tesla said they were using language modelling for their lane predictions and that a huge part of dojo's purpose was labeling. I imagine it wouldn't be much...

    Alaska Highway Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Just a slight update, though it's still not supercharger related. The city of Fort Nelson replied to me to let me know they've installed and activated a nema 14-50 plug at their local park, so now there's an option outside of asking the local mechanic's shop for an overnight charge...

    Calgary South supercharge location confirmed

    I've sent Tesla suggestions for a new location at either Aldersyde Petro Canada (hwy 7 & hwy 2) or at High River (hwy 23 & hwy 2) for those traveling southwest from Calgary to go through Crowsnest Pass. Most people take the 540 across to the 22 then South. The 533 from Nanton is good in Summer...

    Alaska Highway Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    "Just need BC to come through with putting some in the NE to make it viable to get to as far as the Yukon/Alaska border on the alaska highway route." Just a bit of an edit as it occurred to me that since Beaver Creek is on the Alaska/Yukon border, one could fully charge there and get 250-500km...

    Alaska Highway Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Regarding Burwash Landing and Beaver Creek, it looks like those DC fast charger locations should be activated by the end of the year according to the linked press release and pdf map that came out at the end of February. Those two locations along with another between Whitehorse and Haines...

    Alaska Highway Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Not Superchargers, but Plugshare is now showing new 50kW CCS\CHAdeMO chargers in Yukon along the Alaska highway at Watson Lake, Teslin, and Haines Junction. There's also a new one in up in Dawson City. All free of charge for the time being. There are older ones along the highway as well in...

    Long Way Up movie - electric motorcycle trip

    Update #2 After trying the app again some time later, it appears to be working now and showing chargers throughout South America. Not sure why it's working now, perhaps because I turned on gps as it was loading? Who knows. There are some pretty big caveats though... most of them are type 1...

    Long Way Up movie - electric motorcycle trip

    Digging up and oldish thread. I've been wondering for quite some time why on earth Rivian or the Long Way Up team didn't enter the location details of all the chargers they installed into plugshare, as it was stated in the show and in several articles in Caranddriver and Motortrend that Rivian...

    Towing a Seadoo

    I'd thought of them too after I posted. A good way to support a Canadian startup with some compelling looking machines. They're supposed to be bringing their snowmobiles out west in Feb to demonstrate after doing so in the east the last little while. I'd guess availability to be low for this...

    Towing a Seadoo

    Anything else you should be concerned about? Presumably you got yourself an electric car, at least in part, to lower your emissions and received government incentives to do so. Sea Doo's and personal watercraft emit something like 10 times the greenhouse and smog producing gases than that of a...

    Major 2021 Model X refresh pending [Update: Unveiled January 27, 2021]

    To all those moaning about the price increase on an updated model, please remember that Tesla dropped prices significantly several times last year in order to boost sales on outdated models that were well rumored to be updated. So if anything, aren't these just restoring price levels from past...

    Major 2021 Model X refresh pending [Update: Unveiled January 27, 2021]

    That would be great if those captains seats were updated to fold flat. Even better if both they and the 3 seat bench were fully removable like many minivans have had for years. Would make the X far more versatile.

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

    Did they raise the target twice today? Marketwatch shows two headlines, one at 7:08 saying raised to 1250 from 1000, and another at 7:16 saying raised to 2000. The first headline only links to the tsla ticker page, while the second goes to the article saying it happened tomorrow and was raised...

    Sure, I acknowledged that as well, but I doubt if anyone can definitively say that at least some of the spike in cases cannot at all be attributed to mass protests, and prolific use of tear gas on those crowds.

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

    I believe the numbers won't be out until the 2nd or after and that the anticipation of the stock rising on the 30th is based on speculation that funds that feel they need more tesla stock in their possession within the second quarter will be buying enough before the end of month/quarter which...

    Following macros now, but there was a lot of resistance to tsla dropping with them at first. It was staying mostly green while macros were dropping. It wasn't until nasdaq got close to -1 that tesla turned and dropped. Even now it's still not as low as macros. It's being held up, where...

    futures appear to be weakening as well. Maybe spikes in cases on Sunday in California Texas and Florida impacting, as well as battery delay Also Europe is slightly red. On UK manufacturing news and Germany spike in cases?

    I guess the 7am move to drop 5 points is reaction to delayed battery day as traders wake up? Edit- actually about 8 points I guess, almost 5 in the red

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Since many of the plugshare users who checked in since May 23rd have stated that it works even though the car says it's out of service, you might want to be just as skeptical of the in car status of all superchargers and the Tesla software itself rather than just this one location. Who's to say...

    Range question

    see this thread below for a recent discussion on actual vs rated range in km from the computer. The km number is only an estimation, based on normal driving. The rated 402km range is after having testing under specific conditions. If you want to get 402km, don't drive over 90kph on the...

    402 mi range — Wow!

    Same could be said in terms of gas car mileage ratings too though. Those ratings are arrived at after testing under quite specific conditions. Those numbers also are not the manufacturers numbers. The 400mile rating that just came out did so because the EPA retested the car and approved the...

    402 mi range — Wow!

    Looking at the potential state of your battery in terms of km of range would be kind of like looking at your smartphone battery's potential state in terms of hours of time left. It might say you have 20 hours, but that's with the phone just sitting there idling. Once you start using it, you'll...

    with the cost of the rack for the car, plus supports for the boats to go on the rack or the trailer option, these folding boats might be a good option that will end up costing less and be easier to store when not in use. Seem to take just a few minutes to unfold and assemble and there are...

    Good points. I haven't been following along to know if structural and pressurized parts are stainless as the outer skin is, but I imagine robots welding trucks at volume production is going to be quite a different situation compared to the low production situation at SpaceX. It's been 8 years...

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

    I think I saw a video on the cybertruck, where they were showing that welding stainless steel can be very tricky. I imagine this might be a possible area of complaint, perhaps not at first, but bad welds might cause problems down the road. Can't recall just now which youtube channel did that...

    I wonder if there are fewer options to get car carrier ships to leave from Houston? Maybe the cost vs speed doesn't add enough advantage. It might just split the difference between the panama option and NY. And I suppose once they're on a train, you might as well just take them as far as you...

    I wonder if you might be able to mount a wider set of aero bars to the Tesla crossbars using the incorporated slot system. You might want to contact Yakima to see what they might recommend. I see flatsiz911 beat me to it. Given the tesla are custom you'd have to mount a wider bar to the...
