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

    Of course, but if the deal were completely done I'm not sure he goes. I'm betting he rode in the car, FSD in control, cool as a space cucumber. And also, he's probably one of 10, or 2, that even get the deal started. He goes, he pushes it over the edge, here we are +$25/share. We all want more...

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

    Back when I bought TSLA for $30-$45/share in the 2012-13 timeframe, if it had made an equivalent jump in Market Cap as today, it would have gone up $386/share (courtesy of 5x and 3x splits). I've spent most of it on the photo in my profile, but there is a little left and it's good to see in...

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

    Perhaps this weekend will be seen as a turning point where Elon goes back to being perceived as a huge asset for Tesla and TSLA rather than the recent US, X-based narratives depicting him as a liability. There are less than 10 CEOs in the world, perhaps less than 2, who could go do what he did...

    I'm in SpaceX under terms similar to these, have been for 3+ years. I asked if I could pay for the fees in cash rather than shares...no.

    I agree with Cosmacelf, however Chamath Palihapitiya said 2024 in January of this year. I'd think there'd be a meaningful start with T-Mobile and a window on that income/growth before the IPO.

    As an intermediate step to robotaxi, isn't there a world where driver assist technology with a certaion level of functionality gets mandated as required safety functionality for every car the same way seatbelts and airtbags are? In that case, if the technical requirements of the system are...

    25% by $ or #? Maybe they start producing batteries and megapacks together with car packs as the first part of the factory. If it's what Tesla has been lobbying for then they likely have: 1. A roadmap to get there 2. Expect other manufacturers do not

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

    Somehow Italy and Spain need to be turned into 30K/year. They won't be Germany, France or England - the dynamics of their GDP and population would make that very difficult, but they somehow need to exceed the Nordics and be at least 2/3 UK, 1/2 France and Germany.

    Similar, though my offer was an ask to see if I wanted to sell any shares. Given how I'm invested that's not really possible, but I can confirm the mid 90s/share valuation.

    Supercharger availability in TX during busy holiday periods

    We were there Saturday afternoon (NB), didn't charge, my sister from NY wanted to experience Bucees. SCs were half full. Bucees was like Times Square on New Year.

    Next shoe to fall might be legacy O&G refineries, like Valero, who operate thousands of service stations (Bucee's already seems to be all in) to add TSLA superchargers in some way. Can't wait.

    Tesla and Ford I wonder if this gets TSLA closer to a point where they spin out the supercharging network as a separate business (SPCH), separately traded company, ala the way there is discussion for SpaceX spinning out Starlink. Not sure what advantage there'd be to Tesla to do that, other than...
