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

    Really. I came here to lower your blood pressure. Allow you to decompress, breathe, and smile. More of my attention is given to FSD than the other aspects of the Company. I've watched many hours and miles. Most Youtube videos now are showing the difference between one version or the other...

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

    I just remembered. When Elon "created" paypal...and then there was a "difference of opinion" in which Elon was handed some cash and told to go away (This is how I saw it because he saw a much grander path for PayPal. Well I wonder if history repeating itself is Mr Musk's biggest concern? Not...

    Under the skin

    Back when the first Turdneau cover for the Cyberturd was being revealed I stated that I did not see how they could make a rolling door that would be waterproof. I was quickly rebuffed, and told it would be waterproof. But not only can't they do that, the design is now having an issue with the...

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

    Exactly. I don't see Elon having a history of aiX outside of FSD and Dojo kind of stuff (that is the technical "stuff" not the common definition). So how can he take the marbles and go home?

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

    Wait a second??????? I can't be the only one. One of you hardcore people how about telling us something... I see Elon raised funds for Xai. I thought Tesla paid for all the AI work using them fancy DOJO chips? How is it now a "non-tesla" thing? How can FSD not be at the base of all that is...

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

    "Cybertruck is also a great SUV." If you left out "also" I could have understood your last sentence. Cybertruck is a truck in name only. Elon had all the freedom and resources to make whatever vehicle he wanted. And he did. And then to try and capture the huge Pick-up segment of the market he...

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

    My first order of the Cybertruck was the single motor, $40k model. And using the known way to determine my place in line I was/am 500,000 in line. But today I got the "Come configure your Founder's Edition Cybertruck." And I probably wouldn't have taken one even if it had a decent...

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

    My main rebuttal has been I did invest, and I will invest. My decisions are not any different than an investor. I look at the actual facts that are real world/market to decide when and where to invest. I do not look at market metrics, which is how I differentiate between an investor and a...

    We only differ in what we see happening. You see something coming, and have no confidence in when. I see the same thing, but NOT soon. And I "see" retail investors abandoning Tesla for months to come. And come on man? A "demo" by Elon make "investing" in TSLA more likely? No. Flat out "NO."...

    Your "beliefs" are just that. And they fit into the religion scheme. Religions: Do what we say till you die, then get your pay-out. I'd rather set goals in life, and adjust them as the environment change. Kudos to all those that have been able to deny themselves a pulled pork sammich because...

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

    On "investing" vs "Trading." It seems obvious to me or am I wrong? I get labelled a "trader" if I can clearly see (And believed Elon a year ago when he said it was going to be a rough year ahead for TSLA stockholders) that the EV market is not going to be a place to have ANY money for at...

    Cyber(nota)truck even more Not a truck than I first thought

    I keep getting BS updates on the EV Silverado. The two reasons I still have a place in line for a Cyberturd is that by the time my number is called the turd will have gone through "upgrades," and that FSD will compensate for a lot of the piss poor design in the turd.

    Someone got any real insight as to what I just experienced/noticed? This was the first time I did not have to go hunting for a way to vote my TSLA shares. I literally clicked on an email and was taken to an easily understood voting "ballot." ANd the votes were recorded without any worries as...

    So TSLA went up 10% in a matter of hours based on Tesla FSD moving forward in China? China? This price movement is based on whose investment model? DO they have a clue what China will require "FSD" to become IN China? China? FSD? worth 63 Billion dollars? This stock price is a joke...

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

    exactly... Fools and their money. But in all seriousness BYD should make one for $8k. It would be an opportunity to get their product in a consumer market they have no presence. If they are better than the "GEM" ones then the owners will eventually look at the EV's.

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

    Honestly. BYD could sell gigailions of $10k luxury electric vehicles in the USA if my town is the norm. Greater than 25% of the homes around here have a third vehicle that is a "fast" electric golf cart licensed by the City's Police Department. BYD could put a 2/3's smaller battery, and a...

    The "touted" ability of the Cyberturd during initial presentation had me placing a deposit on one just so I could sit in the driveway during a Hurricane.

    Cyber(nota)truck even more Not a truck than I first thought

    LOL... I never mentioned other manufacturers or their products... Tesla/Elon had another TWO years during COVID to get the vehicle (not a truck) so it could be "close" to what he touted. And the "Founder's Edition" isn't close, even when it costs considerably more. The vehicle they have now? It...

    I do not need to hear from Cyber(NOTA)truck owners or those that are still defending this shard of stainless shite as what Elon/Tesla stated those of us that put down our deposits would get... I am not here complaining about Tesla. Actually quite the opposite from my position. The last few...

    Can the CyberTruck replace a delivery truck?

    That IS my idea of a Tesla camper.

    Can the CyberTruck replace a delivery truck?

    The turdneau cover is not waterproof, and has been shown to be dodgy at opening and closing. And I doubt it was ever designed for more than the casual Rhinestone Cowboy to use so it won't hold up. But yeah, go ahead, they were dumb enough to design, you can be dumb enough to buy it...and use...

    Under the skin

    If you have read any of my posts on the cyberturd you know I find it to be....disappointing. So consider what I write next as from someone that already dislikes how the "Designers" screwed over the engineers. The cyberturd is still a very disappointing vehicle, but damn if it isn't built well...

    No Midgate?

    The turd does not have a midgate because the asshats working for Musk didn't stand up to him when he proposed a leaking rolling door as the cover for the turd's trunk. The cyberturd was built around the rolling door. The turd functions as rolling door carrier that can also carry some people. An...

    No Midgate?

    The tailgate is even worse than that as it was shown on the reveal to have an enclosed ramp. The cyberturd was created because Elon got disenchanted with the toy. The Turd is just a turd.

    I actually used to have a car that was "legend" while I attended Auburn. It was a 1971 510 Datsun. It was supposed to be red but was so old it was mainly a dusty primer gray. One day while I was high two nursing student females knocked on the door and asked if they could "paint my car." They...

    No Midgate?

    The major pick-up manufacturers do not have a lid over their bed like the Cyberturd has over its trunk(not a bed). The Turdneau cover's track at the wall between the Trunk and Passenger area is the biggest impediment to being able to use the Cyberturd's TRUNK. It is like Elon specifically...

    Hey. I just went back to the future and was listening to Elon talk to his engineers_ ELON: I thought of something no one else has thought of. And I want it to be part of the Cyberturd. What if the Hub cap came out over the wheel. I mean how cool is that. No one else has ever thought of it! Am...
  38. lafrisbee

    No Midgate?

    The turdneau cover is not air or water tight. Which might be why Elon nixed even a sliding rear window to allow the trunk to be used (at all). You'd train the battery "cooling" the outdoors. And again. A tent is not secure. From what we can see, the design of the cyberturd was to create a weird...

    Ya gotta find a new level of "HUH?" when you look at how far the Cyberturd's Stainless steel surface has gone from "it won't even need washing. Just let it for a nice natural honest patina." To Wrapping, ceramic coating, buffing, washing as soon as you get it, etc etc etephingsetera. All the...

    Cyber(nota)truck even more Not a truck than I first thought

    I "imagine" that there are huge "improvements".. that should have been solved over the FOUR years Tesla lied to us and kept stating, "We're working on it." Elon can't run all the companies/interests he has. He's being piss poor in all of them now. It used to be that Tesla, SpaceX and the...

    The best part is no part (or at least a couple of hundred fewer MOVING parts than a turdneau cover). By Tesla logic you just showed how terrible the turdneau is.

    I was firmly in the camp of, "I will never have to waste time keeping my cyber(nota)truck presentable. No wrap, no coating, just a nice honest patina." Where are those guys? And I was with the majority on that. I noted how bad the Turdneau cover would look. And the boys that ain't cleaning...

    OK, one more time. The Cyberturd's frunk does appear to be small. And that is not really ideal. BUT if the "Designers/engineers" of the Cyberturd had to make it that small because that is all the room that wasn't being taken up by all the mechanical stuff under the hood then I can fully...
