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

    This is clearly true. You cats rarely get emotionally attached to your servants' cars, called "Going to the Vet syndrome", while dogs love riding in cars, head out the window and mouth open. Walking on car hoods, windshields and roofs with paw prints does not count as emotional attachment.

    Now that once again others have spoken, there are some of us here who feel the opposite about the purchase. Short term stock price is far less important than many other issues. /end

    Agreed. Southern NH here. When using the MA service center, the big issue is we cannot take new car delivery without paying MA sales tax. I had to use Paramus NJ. Tesla is s l o w l y building a Londonderry NH service site. Not a fan of the location. Had it been near Rt 95N, the $outhern Maine...

    How long a walk will it be to the nearby "Men's" Club? Asking for a fiend friend.

    My uninformed take on South Asia, e.g. India. Tesla likely and should be waiting for smaller Gen 3 vehicle design and most importantly resultant new FACTORY design before building a factory there.

    It's a selfish position but my target is buy 1,000 shares if price approaches $100/share. High interest rates killing car loans. Small inexpensive Tesla 3 years away in volume. As a recent (2019) but long term investor I'm looking for major appreciation towards decade's end. Why so long...

    Brings long ago pleasant memories of Robbie the Robot driving on Altair 4 to greet Captain JJ Adams and his crew.

    Myriad problems with that: Rivian has a mfg cost BIG problem. Outsourcing to Foxconn strategy won't help with that. Elon's comment that electric car mgmnt needed to live in the factory was spot on. Plus even reaching profit/Rivian the margins are thin compared to what Apple & it's stockholders...

    With all due deference, I always found it utterly futile to explain my positions, etc. to my cats in a manner they could understand.

    Having failed (lack of courage & attention) to sell some IRA shares Jan 1st and buy back in the spring, my next plan is to buy another tranch of 1,000 if stock approaches 100. I was fortunate enough to have sold shares near highs to buy my Model Y and to fund gifts. Playing with beau coup house...

    Thumbs down received can be misleading. I rated this post as Informative as I wanted to see what the WSJ millennials were claiming about Tesla, its BOD, etc. Did I buy the FUD, No! But it got me behind the paywall. I read this Forum for information. I do not have to like it and maybe do not...

    Regarding Right on Red there's an intersection on75th & Rt64 in Bradenton where a white No Turn on Red LED sign pops up often & under control of crossing guards. It's way up high and nowhere near the traffic lights. Stuff like this and other drivers waving to you indicating you may proceed as I...

    This annoying and often illegal tendency needs to be fixed. A sorta Chill mode for left lane changes.
