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

    I'm sorry to hear that, I hope your doctor can make your last 5 years pain free. At least the solar panels will last 30+ years so maybe your family could have use of them after you are gone.

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

    I consider myself small potatoes here. Why? Because I can still sell stocks or other items of value and do so under 0% capital gains while still holding down a day job. I'm guessing most here think 5 figure salaries are small potatoes.

    I'm not sure where the 25% increase in the headline comes from when the table below in the article tops out near 5%. Oh, yeah Cleantechnica is one of those sites that uses Hybrids for the headline. Still real EV sales are up for April even for the VW ID3 at the bottom of the list...

    I agree with using the strict criteria for the most part. The average joe isn't going to put up with almost good enough. Put another way I don't think 12.3.x was worth paying for. I need to see dramatic improvement in 12.4.x and possibly 12.5.x before I'll pay to keep it.

    Elon's Next Compensation Package (if TSLA market cap in range of AAPL/Aramco combined)

    Yep, I'm fine giving him the prior pay packages and making a new package where he gets a tranche for each 2x of marketcap* and has a similar 5 years after the tranche is achieved before he can sell rule. add in some alternate EBITDA/Revenue triggers if you want. Like 2x market cap on the odd...

    I would say it needs to be about the size of your smallest fingernail + the usb connector. I suggest one that has USB 3.2 connectivity rating and 512GB or more capacity. The higher the write speed rating the better. But if you are trying to save money anything over 400MB/s is OK for now. I've...

    12.5 is a new build started after 12.4 started both built on prior data with similar or even exact same methods but with 12.5 having much more compute to process it. Entirely possible for it to contain similar issues but it is fresh computation so it could be entirely different as well.

    Would they do $2/watt? I don't know, they won't tell me on the website anymore. But the last time I could get pricing from them without a sales call was in July 2023 and it was $2.30/watt then 10.00 kW Solar Panels $23,000 (25 panels) 1 powerwall $10,000 Cash Price $33,000/$23,100 (after...

    with the $4k instant credit you can get a used Tesla now below $20k (or at least some people did earlier in the year). I personally got one just above $20k. Blue AWD LR Model 3 that I got just a few months ago. https://www.tesla.com/m3/order/5YJ3E1EA5KF417818 is a 2019 for $21,500 no tax...

    It's 8 words, I can't see how you think I misinterpreted it. What do you think the word "just" means? I'd say it's equivalent to "only" in that context. So I replied to that connotation. Educate me on the usage of the word just there so I don't make that mistake again.

    Not true, he wants Earth to stay healthy and populated by humans, AND he wants Mars to be populated by humans also. If either planet isn't populated by humans in a sustainable fashion that is bad. He isn't looking to leave one alone to focus on the other. Even if he goes to Mars someday, he'll...

    They haven't updated the map since July 2023 but if you take the Virgin Hotel break as a sign of progress you could doctor up a simple highlighted version. That new tunnel is the longest section in the system now. If they connect it to the airport (which seems like the goal) it will see high...

    People made the same complaint about the Model 3 $35,000 trim that you are making about the Cybertruck $40,000 trim. It took more than a year of ramping up from late 2017 to early/mid 2019 for that lowest trim to show up. Any time a new model comes out you are going to end up waiting 1 year...

    from the 2023 sustainability report. NCM is listed in one part of the screen as Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese which looks right to me and then in another section as Nickel-Cathode-Manganese which looks like a misnomer to me, is that an accepted expansion of NCM?

    I'd love to see that score for my car with FSD and the Fleet with FSD but to be clear on 12.3.x it'd be a poor score. FSD right now accelerates too hard (which isn't scored), brakes too hard (lowering score), follows too closely(lowering score for either forward collision warning and/or unsafe...

    Yes, by way of a concept called "survivorship bias". All the human left turns are recording using all the cameras, does not matter that the human can't look at all the data. Videos that end in a collision or near miss are excluded (all cameras are tied together as a set for a composite video, so...

    There are none yet, that was a feature that is to be added after the FSD is fully baked. They made some test units of a "snake" in a lab but never put one on a public charger. No one knows for certain when it does happen if it'll be the "snake" charger plug in method or if it will be an...
