      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;m a big Tesla believer and have put a substantial amount of money where my mouth is.  That doesn&#039;t mean Musk is without reproach.  Yes, the Almighty makes bad decisions that ultimately affect the share price negatively.<br />
I&#039;m not talking about Musk blowing weed out if his butt or insulting those who challenge him or even when he drops that share price is too high... All that is stupid but forgiven because he is a genius.<br />
What is far more concerning are more important issues, like Battery Day...<br />

I obviously need to get the screen replaced and in reading through the threads on here it appears Tesla is now just swapping screens when possible and not touching the MCU. Since these two are so closely married and I have seen sporadic reports of the entire screen and MCU being replaced when screens were hard to come by I was curious as to whether anyone had been able to accomplish an upgrade to the MCU 2 when this...<br />

Who bought their Model 3&#039;s, or executed a down payment, via TSLA money? Or if you want, any other stock money? When did you figure it was the right time to do so? And lastly, do you wish you held longer instead?<br />
