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

    But what about all the other car manufacturers? Other BEV only players get hurt just as bad by its withdrawl. Don't the legacy benefit from the IRA by selling their hybrids? Seems to me if the IRA goes away legacy will be hurt worse by it's withdrawl as they're already admitting they can't...

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

    I'm finding this in my small town too and there's probably only 5-10 Teslas (2 of which are ours) driving around. Places where 12.x struggled once and I intervened are not a problem the next time through. Interesting behaviour. Now if only I could get it to stop the malicious compliance with...

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

    After a week of living with the lastest FSD a couple thoughts have come to mind: 1. When purchasing a new vehicle, would you rather buy the one that can chauffeur you and your loved ones around more safely than a human driver or a vehicle that will never have that capability? Not saying it's...

    Figure out how to do the oil changes OTA so they’re no longer a time-sucking inconvenience and I’m in!

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

    The "the stuff that makes Tesla, Tesla - the California/Texas company" clearly needed an emoji to make it apparent I was joking around by drawing on an old criticism of the company. Sorry about that ommision on my part. IF the low, recessed headlights are prone to becoming blocked by...

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

    Yes, but the fact they’re recessed and low so therefore prone to getting filled with slush (not mentioned in this review) is also the stuff that makes Tesla, Tesla - the California/Texas company. This has the potential to be a significant problem here where we have a combination of few...

    Still unloading ships from the re-routing after the Houthi attacks? Just a guess, but I imagine that takes some time and may still be in progress. As an aside, I’m visiting your wonderful country. The number of Teslas here in Amsterdam is mind-blowing. So many EVs of all sorts here, it’s...

    Sounds like it's time to load them on a 🚢 and dump them in the 🌊 ...

    So then why do you still use a diesel truck for towing? Range anxiety? ;) Before you reply, be sure to check my avatar...

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

    I just bought a new home, deposit has been paid, balance of payment is due in a few months when we take possession. Don't want to take out a mortgage as I've got the cash on hand from recently selling a business. In the meantime I've set the cash aside in a high interest savings account as it's...

    The demise of the OEMs

    Clueless. Anyone spouting off about Tesla "launching a price war to kill off their competition" doesn't know the first thing about Tesla. It's right there in their Mission Statement and Master Plans. The fact that they're lowering cost of manufacturing to lower the cost to the consumer is all...

    Left front fender camera error - anyone else have this?

    Yep, I've been getting it at times on dark moonless but otherwise perfect condition nights. This in a June 2018 vehicle and only over the past few months; never prior to that. I suspect it's something that will disappear one day with a software update. It doesn't affect my FSD. The only...

    This is what happens when you prioritize getting re-elected over saving the planet. Ironically, I think this will hasten the demise of the laggards.

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

    This is an investors' forum. Of course we care about the stock price. However, IF we fail to control climate change then the stock market will become irrelavent and all that will matter is bullets 'n booze and your survival skills. The mission comes first, then the share price so that I still...
