CT is a different ground breaking vehicle meant to redefine auto design and manufacturing. I kinda love it, but unfortunately, like many daring initiatives, it's starting to become apparent that a detour like the CT is the wrong vehicle for Tesla at this time. Tesla sales are sliding and it...

There are scads of videos showing Tesla hitting fake children: There's basically a cottage industry in trying to make FSD look bad. I think the latest FSD versions are much better.

How, do you use an ICE for road trips ?

Between Chicago to Minneapolis on Interstate I-94, around Madison, WI during the daytime, a little dark at times because of heavy clouds. It was a little difficult to determine how FSD was responding, as the rain was inconsistently starting and stopping as we moved through storms. With the...

Long highway trip with moderate rain (lots of spray tho) using FSD V12.3.4. Cameras reported limited visibility and shut FSD down. The rain would stop and FSD be restored, but when it rained again, FSD shut off again due to camera limited visibility. This seems like a major limitation to...

When FSD works, Tesla will be liable for any accidents (as I will be reading a book or asleep). We will save a ton of $$$ as we shouldn't need liability insurance at all. Just like I don't need liability insurance to ride the bus or take a taxi.

This sums up my thoughts perfectly (and better than I could have said). At least I learned that FSD will be worth it when one can just read a book, take a nap and not pay any attention to the driving-just like having a driver. Even if its still slower than driving yourself, you may not care...

I have had some pretty terrible Uber drivers. But with Uber, I can look at my phone, read or nap (if I am not too worried about the driver). I am not responsible for any accidents. You will know FSD is ready when Tesla is willing to be responsible for any accidents and it is then a true...

Not directly stock related, but a buddy of mine and his wife, woke millennials who absolutely hate and scorn Elon and swore they would never buy a Tesla, got a Model Y this past weekend. They have been thinking of switching their 11-year old Subaru to an EV and asking me about different EVs...

It's a question relevant to driving an EV anywhere. The cars launch so hard . . . tough to resist.

Check the alignment of the charge door, is it misaligned so it can't open ? If you hear a sound, it seems it is trying to open.

Another $5K price cut for S/X. Not ready to buy yet, I bought my last S at under $80K and I think there is another $5K drop that needs to come.

I had not heard this about Twitter's operational performance. Is this just a made up a story to hit on Elon, or has Twitter's performance really gotten worse ? Article claims this is the 6th major outage in 2023 versus 9 all of 2022...

I see what you did there, so it's not the double tax ?

Illinois dealers have large Internet Auto sales department that sell to out-of-state customers. They do not pay double tax or they would not have any business. So please check again.

Denial here is strong. Look at the Tesla website, Model S prices have dropped $10k and $12k, you don’t even have to negotiate. I don’t know what anyone is talking about lack of Plaids, they are all over, dozens here.

In Chicago area I am seeing $12k off Plaids and $10k off LR. Strange because I expected to see other incentives (like free suoercharging) before price cuts. And they have not officially lowered the sticker prices, just offering discounts. Maybe they learned when abruptly cutting 3 and Y why...

My SA has been calling me to get a new Model S, is that a good indication ?

That link now shows 25 cars. And that link usually only shows unique builds, there may actually be multiple cars of the same build behind each car that is actually shown. I remember in 2019 there was lots of denial here of a large drop in the price of S/X, but prices still dropped $30K.

There will be another price cut on Model S/X. After I bought my first S in 2018, the base price proceeded to drop from over $104K to $69K over the next 2 years. So I traded my S in at a big loss, but got a new 2020 S Raven at a great price and it came with lifetime free supercharging.

This makes clear that the Model Y LR-AWD is still higher in price than it was for most of 2021. I think Tesla can handle that. Performance Y is the bargain now.

This is a great buying opportunity - for both TSLA and the Model Y I could not get in December (unfortunately, I convinced my brother to buy a Model Y in December).

Prices were literally $7500 less days ago (if you could find a car, I could not). Who is going to buy now ? Prices are going to have to come down like in China, regardless of US rebates (which many don't qualify for). I would then expect an explosion in demand.

It looks like he might have not responded to the Auto Pilot nags and the car was simply pulling itself over and stopping as its supposed to ? That seems like the simplest explanation. Regardless, there is something wrong with the driver. He could have just corrected and gotten on the gas to...

Too soon.

I voted NO. Can't let this s**show end.

This is surprising in light of the posts here I have seen that there is no available inventory ? I am braced for Q4 numbers, please prove it wrong !

So free speech unless Elon says no. Got it.

Seem like Elon is almost trying to show how good Twitter actually was, and how bad Twitter can be if everything was decided by the whim of just one guy.

Sounds like they were riding in a Model X? Should be some video from the cameras coming.

What range does the car show at 90% state of charge ?

Semi seems to be the best Tesla yet. Not sure why there is not more attention, it’s a total industry game changer!

I like the question and your list, but the main factor will need to be an improving macro environment. Covid, consumer, wars and inflation, the same things that have been going on. TSLA is not an island, it’s very dependent on the overall market and can X multiple any market rise.

Seeing the I-Pace Robotaxis all over Palo Alto, you can't help but be struck by how elaborate the LIDAR and camera systems festooned all over the car appear. The I-Paces look really kinda experimentally kluged together and I can't imagine they are inexpensive either, which does appear to be a...

When I charge overnight at home in my garage, I consistently get 90%+ efficiency per Teslafi (a little lower when the weather is cold). Got the 2022.40.4.1 software update on November 11th. Charged November 12th, only 40% efficiency - 51% to 86%, 31 kWh added, 78 kWh used. Charged November...

Here is the temperature efficiency for my 2020 Model S Dual Motor (Long Range). As you can see, the efficiency drops near 50% when the temperature gets below 25 degrees F.

What was the recent facelift ?

My experience with Discount Tire has been great, but they are extreme strict about not working with non-OEM equipment sizes.

With Cybertruck mass deliveries not until 2024, what else would be a catalyst to move the TSLA share price in the next year ? Gigafactories, FSD, robotaxi, increased margins and ultimately earnings ?

When assigned BPS shares, I typically: 1) Sell the assigned shares, and then 2) Sell the protective PUTS of the BPS If assigned early, usually puts me a little ahead of max loss

No (are you are saying that?). The point was to correct incorrect information that was posted here.

Not trying to get into a debate, but go look at EV-CPO--there is a New" tab. In some cases, there is more new Tesla inventory than used.

Seemingly clever whataboutism aside, the perps at VW are long gone and have been suffering consequences, including prison time and upcoming trials. But does our CEO have accountability ? I think the current TSLA SP does reflect that there are some consequences. I don't believe there is any...

Not sure why you think people are absorbed in media or what that has to do with the impression of the Tesla brand. But the point is your friends and spouse will buy a Tesla, but they likely would have already bought Tesla before. There is, however, there is a segment of people, who used to...

Elon's behavior has also eclipsed the once stellar Tesla brand. Instead of conjuring the image of high tech electric vehicles, Tesla is now about Elon and his antics. Many friends (including my wife) will not buy a Tesla any longer. My wife's eTron GT is also making me rethink the value...

Madison, Wi and Tomah, Wi free yesterday

Soon front camera will be required (like backup cameras are today). https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/americas-cars-trucks-are-getting-bigger-are-front-blind-zones-children-rcna52109 Then Tesla's vision will be complete. Well, if they can also have cameras that can see the front wheels . . .

In the Chicago area and from Chicago up to Minnesota (Rockford, Madison, Tomah, Eau Claire) it's been "Complimentary Session" on all EA chargers for weeks. Not sure what is going on with EA, this can't just be one giant snafu ? We've been road tripping with the wife's e-Tron, and the EA...

If they actually made such a statement, very disappointed Tesla is raising the prospect "we can build a car that literally never crashes."
