Just driving in Bklyn and experienced a couple of dangerous situations on an half hour drive. FSD was quite good most of the time but then took a couple of very wide wild turns after overiding the GPS a couple of times. Also was creeping up on a car that was double parked and looked like it was...

Say more :) Why?

Yeah, but it's a double edged sword because Elon making news on X doesn't necessarily lead to more people understanding the advantages of electric vehicles. And sometimes as I have reported, he turns off the people who are most interested in electric cars with his political postings. There is...

Not sure he was predicting a "red wave" in November so much as wanting one. A reminder that he said a "red wave" was coming in 2022 congressional elections and he was wrong. He has also been wrong about some of his economic predictions. Sure wish he would stick to physics, cars, robots, AI etc. :)

By the way I drive a 2023 model S and have been driving FSD for 6 years. I see the improvements in the new software but still have had to disengage quite a few times. Can't name all the incidences right now but for example it just did strange repeated slowing down for no apparent reason on a...

How about we wait till earnings call to understand what will be happening when? While I agree with the general gist of what you are saying, some of us know that Elon can also make mistakes ( he can be awfully factually wrong about some of the things he posts on X for example.). Lets hope we are...

Ok. Will take a look at their videos. Thanks!

Is anyone who lives in NYC interested in joining forces to do some testing of FSD here? Not aware if anyone on Youtube is posting videos from NYC? Certainly one of the most challenging environments for FSD so will tell us a lot about how far it has come and how far it still has to go. DM if...

Wasn't clear what misinformation you are referring to?

Agree with what you are saying but at the risk of causing a mini-storm and raising the hair on your back :). I'm still convinced that Elon's purchase of Twitter and foray into politics has turned off quite a few potential buyers. No way to prove it obviously but it was always my instinctual read...

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/14/elon-musk-is-reportedly-planning-an-ai-startup-to-compete-with-openai.html Don't know if this has been discussed....

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/13/china/china-sea-level-record-high-2022-climate-intl-hnk/index.html Anyone have any knowledge whether this could impact Tesla Shanghai in any way in the future? Thanks.

Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom ·16h "I generally ignore Elon, but he really reveals himself here. He’s what I used to be: an inflammatory, MAGA culture warrior. I’m conservative & proudly woke, and there’s a great conversation to be had about “woke,” but Elon, like all bullies, is afraid to have it...

Not about the exact %. Obviously about whether or not its a significant group of people and the fact its an unnecessary error. I personally think its more people than some on this site realize but would love to be wrong..

How many years between Pearl Harbor and Japanese car explosion in US? Please god, let's hope it don't take that long to recover from his dumb posts. Ha! P.S. Japanese learned from their "mistakes". How do i say this, ahhh... somehow i don't think that will be quite true of Elon...! :)

No "pitchforks" :) just people i know who are cancelling orders, and my partner who says she doesn't want to own ours anymore. Many on social media are saying the same (Unscientific poll. :) Musk good at those. Ha!) Obviously demand outstrips supply and will for quite a while. Obviously the...

My only question to you is do you honestly think its good for the owner of a company to alienate approximately one half of the country, and potentially impact the purchase of his products? I'm certain the downward trend of Tesla has to do with more than just twitter obviously, but Musk approach...

What's the breakdown? Genuinely asking.

Oh so he planned this all out ? Lol

The problem is that Elon has been quite bad at communicating this and what the $8 charge is about. Many don't think you can still tweet for free.

Cool. Went to graduate film school at NYU My roots are in the Lower East Side. You have seen a lot I guess ... :)

Ha. The city has rubbed off well on you :)

Chump change as we say in Brooklyn . :)

I know. That's quite ok... I will just add- -even people from the city have senses of humor. :)

How do I say this. :) I Waited on line overnight to put my name on a list for the model 3 before I knew what it would look like. People like me from Brooklyn who have invested in alternative energy stocks including tesla have made out quite well thank you. Ha.

I'm from New York. It's become very politicized and I think you are being quite niave if you don't understand the affect it's having on many people. I'm not arguing that there isn't plenty of demand for tesla cars ((I love my car and have been invested in tesla in a big way since 2018), but...

Don't know where you live but more people than you think are turned off to buying tesla because of Musk tweets etc. I hear it from lots of my acquaintances . I own a model 3 for the last 4 years by the way. Just reporting ....

https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/boss-recalls-david-depape-pelosi-attack/3064437/ Have you read this yet? Over the last years he descended into believing right wing conspiracies according to someone who knows him well.

Please identify those with a single share. :)

"Climate change is the biggest threat that humanity faces this century, except for AI," Musk said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "I keep telling people this. I hate to be Cassandra here, but it's all fun and games until somebody loses a ****ing eye. This view [of climate change] is shared...

I might agree that in more recent times he has felt less of a "need" to mention the catastrophic trends as it relates to climate change, and certainly has talked up population collapse. Not certain he still doesn't see the urgency for action but get your point.

I guess it all depends on how you define "fear mongering" https://www.inc.com/huffington-post/elon-musk-sounds-off-on-climate-change.html

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/31/politics/paul-pelosi-suspect-charged/index.html New facts about the Pelosi attacker... Didn't see post above so this is somewhat redundant.

Don't think I was holding Elon to a standard I don't apply to others. That was an awful tweet for a number of reasons. Are you saying you had no problem with his tweet?

"San Francisco PD tells NBC News that there were just two people in the Pelosi home at the time of the attack, not three. And neither the suspect nor Paul Pelosi knew each other prior to the attack. NBC News has also confirmed zip ties were found on the scene." The FACTS start to come in...

Same for me. Why is he posting something like this when he just said he wants twitter to be a warm and inviting place? Why post something this incendiary when you say there is just "tiny" chance there is more to this story. He is going to look very bad when the truth is otherwise... Very...

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/19/biden-awards-2point8-billion-for-electric-vehicle-battery-manufacturing-.html Wonder if Tesla will qualify for any of these projects?

Billionaire Trevor Milton's Nikola Motor received $4 million from PPP coronavirus small business fund How outrageous is this? I have a small business that is closed down and haven't been able to get any money yet from Chase.

Well I picked up 25 shares between 397 and 402 Ready to buy more if it goess under 400 again. Cannot believe it's back down to these levels.

Reads a little different then what you said, doesn’t it ? Do we know when v10 was originally scheduled to be released?

I hear you, but many people park on the streets in all those locations in Manhattan ( additionally in upper Eastside, upper Westside, Tribeca, Soho, West Village etc.). Obviously parking garages are a big source of parking as well. The point I was trying to make is that it is doable. I live in...

Neroden: "OK, so your friend is insane to start with. Living in Manhattan and owning a car is crazy to start with, but doing so without a private parking space is even crazier. He was a lost cause." I own a model 3, live in Brooklyn (not so different than Manhattan) and park on the street. I...

Yes, you are right. That's why i put that the headline was misleading. Sorry about that. Does remind me though that Tesla has someone like Jeff Dahn working on their battery chemistry, which is a huge plus.

Slight change of subject to something a little more relevant in my opinion. Sorry, headline misleading. Battery Expert Jeff Dahn Raves About Tesla's New Battery Chemistry

Trump administration about to try to reverse auto emissions policy and take the country backwards. Wondering how this will affect Tesla, if at all ? Automakers Plan for Their Worst Nightmare: Regulatory Chaos After Trump’s Emissions Rollback

At the 23 second mark of the video whats that being carried in the black boring transporter on the left? Anything of interest? Maybe just imagining things. :)

I agree, and I will keep reminding people that there were negative reactions about the Model 3. I believe people overwhelmingly agree now that the 3 is a huge success and quite stunning visually. Maybe it's a function of absurdly high expectations, and on top of that, a culture of social media...

Sorry to hear that. I have had the opposite experience. Couldn't be happier. I guess the question I have is did you just get a "lemon" or are there more people out there like you? Have you had other people say they have similar problems?

Curious as to your problems. I’ve had a few minor problems like frunk wouldn’t open but it was fixed quickly. I now have about 8,000 miles so far and been loving it.

I think the 3 is a stylish and even beautiful car. Sorry, but just not sure what you were expecting. If people remember, there was some similar negative reactions at the unveiling of the model 3. It took risks with the inside and front end of the vehicle that not everyone was happy about. I...
