One thing I've learned from reading these forums is that the consensus is that "performance" is taken to mean drag strip times. However, that's not the kind of performance I'm interested in, but rather things like road feel, grip around turns, agility and endurance. Those attributes are among...

Neither the article writer nor the organization presented this as news, but rather an opinion based on rationalization for a short sell of the stock. SA actually has a separate news feed with news.

lol, if you ever wondered where the discernment level is at. There wouldn't be a market for "fake news" without such blind bias.

lol again the incredible lack of discernment of what constitutes "news" is amazing. Btw, I typed in "Model 3" without "news" and got the seeking alpha article search result as well. Is that really how you go about finding news sources, or are you also being willfully ignorant?

Many of you guys are actually false framing these opinion pieces as if they were purported to be news in the first place. They obviously aren't, so can't be considered "fake news". Almost embarrassing to have to point something like this out to folks. Anton Wahlman is a private investor writing...

What is the quality of such a measurement though?

How does that address distance? What if you wanted to lock it again? Like you forgot something in the car, or simply wanted to put something in it and leave again?

I can't see how it could accurately determine range, even if you calibrated it for your particular device. Too many random environmental factors influence how far that signal would carry. Also, what if you don't want to unlock the car? How could it possibly know if you wanted to lock or unlock...

The people I have asked why they paid cash instead of investing the money typically do not want to risk losing on the investment.

I hear that a lot about Penfed customer service. However, I'm glad I didn't use them for my last loan as I would have wasted (to me) over $200. Apparently, some people would want to "reward" such good customer service by giving them that extra $200, but I don't really understand why.

What about just having a fob or card in the pocket and touch the car to unlock or lock? Wouldn't that be easier as you wouldn't have to hold the device or use an app at all?

Lightstream was offering 1.74% for 5yr new car loan only a few months ago. The only string was an automatic withdrawal. However, it still would have been under 2% without the automatic withdrawal. Penfed seems to have one of the best currently at 1.9%.

This same question has been brought up a few times before on here, and no one knew then either. At the time it was merely reasonable speculation that there could be some margin for power increase. Now the question has been promoted to speculation on how much margin, but with no additional...

Generally outliers, just like the stocks that quadrupled or more in value. Speaking of outliers, my favorite investment was the return on the $10,000 invested in Mobileye as a startup. If it was only that easy.

That's a good rate. From where, and how many months? Also, at what interest rate would you consider it better to pay cash rather than invest? Looking at the market for the past 5 years (e.g. qqq stock - Google Search), you could actually have doubled your money and be driving a free car. So...
