    New 2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance!

    Hi All, Got my new (to me) 2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance yesterday! $40k, <6,000 miles, meticulous single owner, lots of upgrades including the Zero-G wheels from the Tesla track package. The side profile visualizes the white handle wrap I'll be adding soon. :) I prefer the look of the...

    Ultra Red - Similar Wrap Color Suggestions

    Inozetek Vampire Red is gorgeous. It's deep like Ultra Red. I'm getting this color for the same reason, because I love Ultra Red but I prefer the look of the last gen Model 3.

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

    I tried FSD for the very first time, which happened to be the free one-month 12.3.3 trial delivered over this past weekend. I got mine on Easter Sunday. Holy smokes, it's so good. After backing out and setting my nav for the nearby pet store, I tipped the stalk down and the car took over...

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

    It takes the ego, audacity, courage, intellect, frenetic pace, and humor of Elon to Elon. If people want normal they can always buy a Ford or Rivian. Tesla would have died without Elon, and big oil would have been glad to kill off yet another EV startup.

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

    The Superbowl is not just a sporting event, it's an event and an occasion where people gather for watch parties, fans and non-fans alike. The commercials are a feature of this event and a meta-event unto themselves. For some, they're more interesting than the game. The Superbowl is also a very...

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

    Just realized I can still contribute to my 2023 Roth IRA until April 15th, 2024 (I'm 55) so I'm in for 11 more $TSLA this morning. The FUD is strong right now but I'm HODLing and buying the dip! I really want to soundproof the music studio for vocal tracking (will cost 8-10k if done...

    Why on Earth would Ford pull a Toyota and sink money into hybrids? That's like companies deciding that ISDN is the future...or thinking we should go back to LaserDiscs. Bad move by Jim Farley.

    Ha, I noticed the 4.20% too. Also, it's spelled 'ludicrous' but you probably got auto-corrected. :)

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    Kia has the worst commercials too. A recent Kia commercial i saw tells me that Kia thinks we're ineffcient, disrespectful buffoons. Who the hell makes a father drive all the way back home for a $2 binky for the baby, only to tell the dutiful and incurious courier that the baby likes the color...

    At least you understand what's at-stake, and you've chosen the best EV to own and drive and with the best charging network by a huge margin. I'm sure you've eaten Chick-Fil-A, right? Do you know about their CEO's views? How about the founder of Carl's Jr.? Wal-Mart? Barilla pasta? The point is...

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

    If one checks TikTok, Elon has a huge amount of support in the comments and I couldn't even get through all of them in one reading. A lot of people are saying they will buy a Tesla because of his views, not in spite of them. He's winning new fans and supporters even if it's no longer the same...

    LOL! SNL memetic slip-up. Franz von Holzhausen! Dang I can't fix it now. :) We are here to pump *clap* you up!

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

    It's literally form following function as Elon and Hanz have told us, because the steel-bending and stamping machines cannot bend the ultra hard cold-rolled steel Tesla uses for the CT. I also think the dystopian future Mad Max/Blade Runner look is fully intentional. I know your comment was in...
