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

    Just for fun, let's hop in our time machine and go back a month. "Hi, Future TMC here. You will soon see people jumping for joy at $170". Just to see the look on their faces (and the fights that break out).

    When FSD is driving well we tell people "Elon is driving". But when it's misbehaving we say it's Toonces.

    One mention of "Genuine People Personalities", and Elon will be all over it.

    The peak power was 327.67 kW. No one finds that curious?

    15 m/day works out to 0.17 mm/s, or 13 milliGary 1 mile/week works out to 2.6 mm/s, or 204 milliGary I have lobbied in the past that we rate the speed against Gary the snail, reported by The Boring Co. to be 13mm/s. We're not there yet. When the (w)hole Boring thing started, Elon was talking...

    SpaceX Starship - IFT-3 - Starbase TX - Pre-Launch Preparations Thread

    With any suborbital trajectory, including "almost orbit", as soon as the engines are off, the ship is in free-fall. A microgravity environment should persist until the upper atmosphere starts pushing back. Three-fourths of an orbit gives you about an hour to try stuff. Educated guess, anyway.

    Ask them how much money Tesla loses for every car they sell. If you get the expected answer, suggest they can hasten the company's demise by buying one.

    The latter. From the I.R. page on Tesla, if you choose "Q&A" you will go to the list managed by say.com.

    I'm optimistic that you paid less than 293 for those shares. In which case, you worked it well. Consider how much better this sale is than being forced to sell twice as many at $180, (or 3x at $90), which is a common fate. As you reduce your holdings, that turns into cash (or yes, other...
