Ooooh, so you are more than fully leveraged and have put 200% of your net worth in to $TSLA. I'd like to see who has put their money where there mouth is. Got to be a "bigger" Elon fan somewhere /s

I have a co-worker that let the 30 day trial pass without trying it. After I told them about it they are disappointed and will be getting a ride in my car shortly with the trial. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. I hadn't used FSD for a couple years and in my opinion...

Teach a man to fish..... ....I already know how to fish but I'm lazy so I haven't looked it up.

So you are saying 2,000 per week on a normal 40 hour work week? I am skeptical but will keep an open mind.

Can you please start selling shares at open?

I had a co-worker looking to buy an EV, asked me about a Mach-E vs. Tesla. I recommended they Turo each of them and then decide. After the Mach-E Turo they decided on a Model Y that gets delivered tomorrow. I agree that the opening of the supercharger network will be a great promotion for the...

Did they mistype the name Franz? My Tesla knowledge currently feels inadequate as I've never heard of Peter Blades before.

Didn't Tesla lump the Cybertruck in with S and X on the Q4 report? So yes, they did record deliveries but we have no idea how many.

For many including me this is their destination. Arrive and charge to a full battery to use while in town. Also, I like to leave town with a full battery to minimize number of stops on the road home. Another scenario, lots of great places in town, why not enjoy them while your battery charges...

@Tony8489 the cold soaked battery is likely the cause. I usually charge right when I arrive in Mammoth while the battery is still warm. Also, if you are coming from main lodge navigate to the supercharger and your battery will pre-condition enough to get faster charging rates. I think they...

I personally am still sitting on mine. I think I'll wait for the $20k reduction. Bought some call option lottery tickets, if they hit I'll buy at the increased $20k price.

I gave a thumbs down to this because with NEM3.0 it is impossible to get net metering 1:1 with no TOU. Would love to see the numbers if you ran them with NEM3.0 rates though. I would guess it would be 20+ years payback with your EE knowledge. That only means for a standard installation by a...

My understanding from Drew's comment was that they switched the Model Y 4680 cell line over to producing the 10% higher energy density CT cells that will go in to the CT but I could be mistaken.

What is NFA?

The IRA benefit on the lease is definitely a compelling reason to lease and not buy.... ....but, generally, leasing is not a financially sound decision. If you like throwing away money then go ahead and lease.

$TSLA will surely go up and down a lot:

🤯 This is why I love Tesla and purchase $TSLA when I can. Thank you for this. Oh, and thank you everyone in this thread, we seem to be back on track these days, it is much nicer reading the meat of what drives $TSLA up and down.

You were a brave soul travelling that corridor on New Years Day (ICE or EV). I avoid travel through there on New Years Day as much as possible.

Purely anecdotal but I personally have a lot fewer solar door-to-door salesman in my neighborhood since NEM3.0 was established.

I think your math is wrong and here is my explanation. You have to bill based on throughput not based on price per KWh. I'm not going to get into the complex math but use some round numbers for simplicity. Let's say a car costs $20 each time it fills at a supercharger and costs $15 each time it...

Used the destination chargers this weekend. The striping shouldn't be too big of a deal since you have to park close enough to the plug to plug in. Agree they need to fix it but not too worried about it. As for the destination charger, it cost $0.33/kwh whereas the supercharger cost $0.39/kwh...

I'm sure the town of mammoth required this for the permits to be approved. I am hopeful that there is some semblance of etiquette here. I'll be testing them out this weekend. How do we get them covered in some nice fresh fluffy snow? it's pretty dry for "a big winter ahead" that everyone was...

I'm trying to recall what I heard but I believe there are CAN offshoots from the main network. The primary communication for the vehicle is an ethernet like gigabit ring network. CAN is too slow to do what Tesla wants for the main network.

Well said, just a small clarification, Cybertruck isn't using CAN, it is using a network with gigabit speeds similar to ethernet.

That is correct, a single charge from 10% to 90% has a similar effect on aging to the battery as 8 charges from 50% to 60%. My general rule of thumb is don't get to 0%, don't get to 100% (or if you do don't leave it at 100% for any length of time) and enjoy the car. My daily charge percentage...

Better that Tesla take the profit than a dealer taking the profit with ADM. Customer satisfaction aside it is a smart business move.

CT will hurt $TSLA short term until they get production ramped. I would assume they are spending like crazy on getting the lines up and running without much profit until they start producing significant numbers. Also, with so much new as far as vehicle design and production processes it will be...

They are single use, just like non-SpaceX rockets. They head to the scrap yard.

It's in the Top Gear video:

Sounds like you are in the market for a vehicle that doesn't exist....good luck! May I recommend a children's book: Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Sounds like you are in the market for an F150 Lightning.

Who eats a steak well done? I think that is the bigger issue than CT missing on price and range.

I agree with everything there....except "affordable". I'm still a buyer but $80k for the lowest cost model available next year is not what I would consider affordable.

I never tow and want a 500 mile version. I'll pay almost anything for range. I could care less about tri-motor, give me dual motor longest range. Range is King! Tesla's are already faster than I need. Osborning will not be a problem with a product like this, as long as the next version is...

That destination charger will never be available during most winter weekends. Unless there is billing set up on it people will just leave their car, especially if there is only one.

Cathie also thinks Tesla was a $5 Trillion company yesterday.

I don't think going off grid is as much about ROI as it is about sticking it to the man.

Just set the HVAC a few degrees cooler? Does anyone know where the temperature sensor is for the cabin? I really have no idea. I'm sure there is a gradient in the cabin and if you put the thermometer in different locations and let it stabilize you will get different readings. Put your car in...

I use my Model 3 in the snow pretty often and put the wipers in service mode and lift them up, really not too difficult in the current setup. Tesla would much rather have the wiper hidden for aerodynamics but the styling of the Cybertruck does not allow for it to be hidden without a complex...

A bit of semantics but the official line is that Elon is paying for them, not that they are getting it for free.

Why does the frunk size get so much attention? I get it, it is smaller than people expect, it is still bigger than the S,3,X,Y frunks and I usually just use it for smelly stuff and charging cables which it will still work for. The biggest feature I want is a drain plug, other than that the size...

Hey @T3SLAROD, @DarkandStormy wanted to know if you would like to go grab a drink together...it is Friday.

This is just silly, are Tesla's not BEV's? Only anecdotal but I see used Tesla's for sale at dealers all the time. The article should say dealers are refusing to sell non-Tesla BEV's. Oh look, AutoNation has 114 for sale right now with a quick search. To be fair they also have a lot of...

3 inches or less I gift you 1 share of $RIVN 3-5 inches we both donate $100 to a local charity 5 inches or more you gift me 1 share of $TSLA

I will further conclude that your negativity is prolific and bet you that it is at least 5 inches deep. I actually think it is much more than 5 inches but am willing to put a sizable bet on at least 5 inches.

While the volume numbers have fluctuated I'm pretty sure Elon (and Tesla) know the exact weight at this point they just aren't ready to reveal it to the public.

But it sure is The American Way!

On their daily podcast someone wrote in and asked about this. Their first answer was "we should do better" and then they followed it up immediately with "this is how it should be done to get all points of view" I've noticed I skip a lot more of their segments these days as it seems more and more...

So I should stop buying tire company stocks? Mod, please remove this post and the tire talk from the investing thread, it isn't even the weekend.

Yes, the only exception is motorcycles.
