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

    Tesla can obviously start to get their ride sharing software ready and may start with manned Teslas first. Similar to Waymo's with a backup driver in the car.

    I think this Model 3 lineup change will make Standard Range model much better a deal than before and may push people to downgrade from Standard Range plus.

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

    Maybe it’s just me, but I think Tesla’s backtracking on store closing is a blessing in disguise. Had Tesla said to close half of the stores and reduce price by 3% at the very beginning, I doubt the FUD would have been any different. Now people feels better because they were presented with a...

    Where/how do you buy it? I have TDAmeritrade and MerrillEdge accounts, but I wasn't able to find it from their bond search tool online. Thanks.

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

    I think many people forget Tesla in essence is a tech/software company. The car is just a platform for Tesla to sell its software and/or future applications, such as ride sharing. Notice that Tesla has lowered its car prices many times, but never the price of AP/FSD. The near-term goal is to...

    One more possibility tomorrow, hiring a COO. I think it has a better chance than Elon stepping down as CEO.

    Thursday, 2pm It’s 420. 0 could mean paying off the bond, but could also mean something else. :)

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

    Not sure if I fully follow your logic here. Can't Elon just say "Model Y will start at the price of $..., but we will sell the better equipped models that costing more first, just as we did with Model 3"? Tesla has been operating like this for all their cars. Remember Model S starting at...

    To the people who watch CNBC, I only have this to say: Gell-Mann amnesia effect Gell-Mann amnesia effect - Wikipedia so be careful

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

    Something I don't understand about Rivian. Their entry-level truck with a 105kWh battery pack and 4 motors starts at $69,000. That price does not seem to be realistic. They plan to sell their higher-end truck with a 180kWh battery pack first. I wonder how many people will buy a truck that is...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    The reason I invest in Tesla is because I am a firm believer of Elon Musk. Nothing has changed. I bought more today.

    Elon Tweeting about Thailand and Reputation

    It is very likely this so called Brit cave expert is a troll. Who uses inflammatory language like that except to provoke? Are we sure he is really one of the heroes who saved the kids?

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    You are right. But right now, Elon had to meet those short-term weekly production targets without alien dreadnought. This is the only way to stop the rampant "Tesla is going bankrupt" narrative from the shorts and media. There will be no long-term goal if Tesla cannot raise capital or be...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Exactly. I always thought Tamberrino was a dummy. It seems he is not a dummy after all. Tesla beat Tamberrino's Model 3 production estimate for Q2. He is now switching topics to delivery number to try to confuse people. We all know that Tesla intentionally stockpiled in order to maximize...

    Did Tesla skip the brake test to double the production for 2Q18?

    People's reaction to Tesla's cessation of the brake-and-roll test is more than a little overblown, and here’s why. Tesla changed its testing regimen for the Model 3, and that's OK - Roadshow
