On this 70th anniversary of Bell Lab’s silicone solar milestone it’s a good day for a deep breath and some appreciation for how fast Tesla is actually executing given every man-made obstacle in their way. FSD, Robo Taxi, a $25,000 car, utility-scale battery deployment, Tesla Solar+Powerwall...

Has the long-awaited rotation finally begun? (speculation only - and perhaps some wishful thinking too) My wishful thinking says the rotation has begun. But holding TSLA since 2013 and wanting to HODL says:

Thanks @CHGolferJim. Yes, we absolutely prioritized stopping at 250's, as the charging understandably took about 20% longer than our 100 kWh Plaid and 100 kWh Model X with the CT's bigger battery. The last 20 miles or so of charge does seem to be a bit slower than with the 2170's, and it does...

After spending the last week on the first half of a long road trip across the South in our new Cybertruck, perhaps the only thing more difficult than getting to see a new CT in the wild is trying to drive one on the interstate while every driver around you is taking pics and videos of a new CT...

Agree and well put @The Accountant - "that is the life of a Buy and Hold Investor". And very much worth a deeper dive with the value of hindsight now: While a 'Buy and Hold' strategy certainly can't keep up with the short-term returns that those who hold the Playbook clearly enjoy, it is the...

A very respectful disagree @madodel - WS, and particularly GS had the inside scoop to this huge beat IMO before their ‘downgrade’ of TSLA at the beginning of last week, which resulted in the otherwise completely unexplainable 10% slide in share price as a result. And ‘They’ likely sold the top...

Agreed. Very curious how this will play out - hopefully much better than it did for Herbert Diess. Up to this point it seems that if you just go out on camera and make stuff up about EVs while you continue down the ICE path you get support from the highest levels and a golden parachute…and if...

Would this be the same ‘scared’ market that was not scared of a $1 Trillion budget for the military industrial complex and then spending another $200 Billion for Ukraine’? - and the same ‘scared’ market that rallied jubilantly when a $4.2 Trillion redistribution of wealth was passed a couple...

They are probably just reacting to requests from their voters complaining about missing their favorite late night AM radio show. But I guess if we are going to Occupy Mars we might as well have George Noory calling the play-by-play for all EV drivers too

This is a most interesting post @nativewolf because the timeline for maximizing shareholder value is undefined. Thus it is both correct and incorrect IMO. Elon/TSLA have intentionally broken the ‘preferred’ Wall Street business model of maximizing short-term profits for shareholder value...

Respectfully @phantasms - Then I am confused by your adamant disagreement- for it sounds like we do agree that both ‘sides’ of the media have falsely attacked Elon/Tesla in the past, and perhaps even multiple administrations have now done so directly or indirectly. This all rather famously...

Actually it was investing in TSLA since 2013 that led me to this conclusion. I doubt I would have changed my mind about a lot of beliefs I once held very closely if it weren’t for following all things TSLA and Elon just as closely. Elon’s pursuit of more noble goals for people and Planet has...

...........and why TSLA in such a bundled trade? TSLA is currently trading in the 'Beast' of converging wedges - between the 2-year resistance and 5-year support as a result of the 'convenient' landing at its recent lows at the very end of 2022, after which it almost doubled in price - (why...
