    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Is he staring it down or UP? Tell him down until after the delivery report. P.S. Grinch Cat is better than kittens, but I still prefer your large feline avatar more.

    Yes. Another nice side effect of the SP having dropped so much is the overall traffic has gone down too. Actually I hope the SP stays down through the end of the year and then goes up after the delivery report. That will minimize the number of shares I'll have to sell to meet minimum...

    Could it be in those cases the governments deserve to be overthrown? A mercenary military has its own set of problems.

    We should give him the coal with the requirement that he burn it with a blocked chimney.

    He probably doesn't even know how to "gas up" his ICEs himself either.

    Hey. For them that's quite bullish.

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Once you're retired you can roll over as much of your traditional IRA into your ROTH IRA as you can can afford to pay taxes on. I rolled over 180 shares after the "going private" announcement. I'm gambling the share price at which I transferred ($320.10) will appreciate enough that I'll have to...

    I was too late too get and rode all the way down and then back up. In any case I wasn't actively trading then.

    If so, they could probably repaint any color they want with the savings on taxes, and wouldn't have to do it until after tax refunds.

    I guess they'll sell 100k in the next <2 months. Lol. It's about time they got what they deserve.

    It's the humidity in addition to the cold that causes the door and window problems. In this kind of weather I run the heaters in the car when connected to the charging cable to help defrost. Of course, if you can't get the charge port door open you're going to have a different problem. But if...

    Great. We have a distribution center being built in Airway Heights now. It'll serve the greater Spokane area. Maybe it'll provide the same service for us when it's completed.

    Market politics

    If Hillary runs again, Demos are committing political suicide. I only voted for her during the Nov. '16 because what we finally got was so horrid. We got the supreme court we deserved because too many were too complacent. I didn't want to see her run against Obama or Sanders, because the...

    Market politics

    Although not devoid of emotions, many Republicans seem absent any empathy to those they don't consider their own kind. At least this appears true of republican politicians.

    I've thought for a long time that if teleportation should ever happen, a best first use would be to send water from flooding in the Southeast to fires in the Pacific coast states. Water is homogeneous enough that you wouldn't have to worry about keeping structure (except at the molecular level)...

    I was thinking something like that too. Make a larger diameter hole by using a circle of the smaller drill holes, and a center hole in which to place explosives. Really same thought as yours.

    Just adding to the thread since I didn't know where else to put it. With a boost from Shell, HyperSciences blasts past $3M in crowdfunding campaign The above link is to an interview on geekwire with Mark. Hypersciences is a startup by Mark Russell. My youngest daughter was just hired back by...

    This afternoon, I was walking across a parking lot and was reminded of one reason I hate ICEs. It's started getting colder and people leave there engines idling to keep their cabins warm. Also some people don't maintain their vehicles and they spew out incompletely burned hydrocarbons and smoke...

    I'd like to see taxes based on increase in net wealth each year. If you're wealthy you can avoid those taxes by putting your income back into the economy.

    More solar panels to provide all electrical needs for GF1 and sell power back to Nevada and California grids?

    You're putting it mildly. He is right, but TT007 time is potentially 5(or more) times as long as Elon time.

    The best thing the press could do about Trump would be to ignore him. Of course then we'd still have Faux News, but he wouldn't get upset about them.

    I guess I shouldn't be here as I'm an uber bear. I can practically guarantee that TSLA won't see a $4k SP within the next 6 months.

    I like the line at the bottom. "Although it was in the precambrian era". I knew it. Elon has a time machine. He's seen the past and the future and knows Tesla can become a $650 T company. Of course there will be a lot of inflation by then.

    Good point. Tesla should put Level 2 chargers at their busiest sites, just for topping off those needing maximum range. In my case in the last few years, most superchargers are spaced closely enough (less than 220 miles apart for me) to comfortably make it to the next charger. Util this May...

    Yep. I've driven about 20000 miles per year over the past 5+ years. About 6500 miles a year include round trips to and from Columbia, MO and to and from Desert Hot Springs, CA. I usually do other smaller trips for an additional 1000 miles a year. For me, it's no so much about the cost as...

    Nope. It was originally advertised as $35k without the $7500 tax credit.

    At the rate things are proceeding, I expect some morning they'll say "Q3 '18 Update online, Conference Call at 2:00 pm PDT this afternoon." That gives them the opportunity pick the date for optimum impact.
