    Need for Tesla Advertising / PR

    Seriously? IG is not mainstream. It's not filled with doubters or tech-ignorant people. Why is Tesla so averse to paying a normal amount for some normal outlet, video advertising? I'm thinking TV, Amazon Prime, even a series of billboards (one focused on safety, another on range, another on...

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

    FWIW, I don't know, I'm guessing, but the road trip culture is maybe not as great in Sudamerica than America. Therefore, Superchargers may be less critical to success. That's not me, as in 2019 I turned my Canadian Model 3 around at Monterrey instead of continuing West to Baja. Would have been...

    The latest Windows update has Copilot baked into the OS - you don't even need Office:

    Correction, PLUS 250°F in the daytime (NASA's site corroborates this page). I include the Quora link because astronauts used spacesuits to equalize the extreme temps. Any reason Optimus, largely as-is, couldn't do the same? The suits would be even simpler as there's no oxygen requirement...

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

    Interesting to imagine what Elon backing away from operations would do to the SP in the short- and medium- term. It's not obvious to me, but I'm sure others will chime in, as usual, with "there's zero % chance that the share price will go up because..." or "down because...". Like the future of...

    Sure, jbario- I mean, @unk45 ! 😉 I just got voted President of our renewable energy co-op and I'm deploying a new investment app I created for them, so not sure when I'll get to it!

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

    It's worth rolling out again - especially for those who've joined in the last couple of years - we surveyed forum members back in 2021 and asked this exact question. While some argued the poll lacked scientific rigour, it garnered 349 anonymous submissions and, I'd argue, was the best source of...

    Huh! So I guess that's a fringe benefit of using aluminum castings: you can store inventory exposed outdoors! You wouldn't do that with plain steel before painting and putting on new cars. Edit: Ditto for the stainless steel outer panels, ...but I don't see any in that photo. So the take-away...

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

    @unk45 a year ago you told us Google's embedded Android Auto in your Volvo was terrible (I think you used a spicier adjective!). What's the development there, if any? Maybe still no competitor to the Tesla OS, but is it more usable today? Put another way, is it no longer a reason not to buy a...

    This really is ridiculous. It makes all our hair-pulling about ... everything fighting against TSLA ... into perspective. Here's a post by Cern himself that puts a positive humanist spin on the crazy-tunes economics for TSLA: https://twitter.com/CernBasher/status/1743692151366484441...

    So X gets - what? a 2 day lead time before they post to the most popular video streaming service? Seems reasonable. (Not joking: they need an incentive to get people to start 'watching' X instead of watching YouTube.) It's an awesome video BTW - I've been sending the X link to my friends who...

    Any current recommendations for renting a Tesla starting in Copenhagen heading up to Norway and Sweden?

    From Copenhagen at least, you're free to travel anywhere in Scandinavia without Hertz restriction, so it was no problem. I believe I may have had to indicate this upon pickup as it's a special fee, I can't remember for sure. Just tell them at the airport it's what you intend to do.
