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

    I just took delivery last night of a 2020 model Y and can confirm first hand that that means it's enabled and not just available for subscription. I haven't request FSDb yet as I want to have some fun with the speed boost first but will in the next week or two.

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

    Something that hasn't been talked about is whether the Chinese companies will allowed to put cars on the road in the US with cameras running 24/7 with a direct feed back to China. Does no one think that someone in our government would be against allowing China to have a constant surveillance...

    I can tell you from experience in aircraft development that taking a platform and shrinking it is not profitable in the long run. Derivatives going from smaller to larger are always more cost effective from a manufacturing standpoint. We can see that in the model 3 to model y here. Realistically...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    I got approval is less than 24 hrs and they were the best rate I could find now. 3.79 @ 84 months

    Opinion on buying A Preowned Model 3 2019 with 114k Miles?

    I'd like to note that different engine/motor types change my considerations on milage. Saying uou wouldn't buy any car at 1xxk miles after 3 years is a bit naive if you ask me. If it's a diesel truck that's just broken in and will be performing the best it ever will with another 80% of its life...

    Remove FSD from Demo?

    So i've been perusing some used Model 3's and Model S's on the Tesla website to possibly replace my 2015 Model S and I've been wondering about this. Some say "Full Self Driving Capability" included with no autopilot info in the listing, does that mean they include the FSD at the listed price...

    Yes he's on vacation. In his last 2 videos he stated he'd be back on starting today I believe.

    Interesting that TD Ameritrade has updated my share count and price but options buying is still showing strikes and contract prices in line with the pre-split values.

    What's critical here is the reasoning behind the result. Too many headlines just put results and don't explain the context. With no changes in context a shortened wait time is bearish. With the change that the production capacity just increased in a material amount, the result is bullish...

    Model 3 Purchase for new family situation

    Unfortunately being a 2015 it's only heated seats.

    Model 3 Purchase for new family situation

    So the work situation is that I'm an Aerospace engineer and have worked on atmospheric aircraft for about 16 years. I'm tired of working for another business jet that a millionaire is going to fly around. I want my work to have meaning and working on the progression of manned space flight is...

    Model 3 Purchase for new family situation

    No, she used to be completely against vans actually. But wife would keep the MS if we got a M3

    Model 3 Purchase for new family situation

    That's great experience to relate to. Sounds like a similar situation to what I'm looking into. The S is still a great car and we need it as we have 5 kids and I installed the jump seats to transport everyone when needed. Wife's current PHEV (Pacifica) does ok but I don't want any more...
