(looking it up…)…2017 NEC 625.54 says GFCI is mandatory only for runs of 150V or less. Revisions to this 625.54 in 2020 did not alter that 150V limit.

(without looking it up…)…Surely not a GFCI on a 14-50??!! After all, typical usage is as a welder outlet. 🤔

Tenants in one of our properties have told me they are considering purchasing an EV; it might be a Tesla but perhaps not. That got me to thinking if, instead of installing one of Tesla‘s Wall Chargers, it might be significantly more appropriate for the combination of both these tenants and...

Sitting in a waiting room this morning means I’m not teaching this morning means I have time and ability to join in this morning’s discussion. So using @unk45 ’s post as reference, I see a long-tailed sweet spot in the mini-Tesla conundrum. To the extent that Tesla has {battery + overall...

Continuing to violate my self-administered sabbatical, here is some information about the T-MexPark (great name!) that is sited directly adjacent (3km/2mi) to Mexico City's new airport, itself just 30km/20mi from the megalopolis's center, and which is the location presumed to be of interest to...

No - I'm specifically wondering that which I wrote, which is what, in the context of that bureaucratese, the word "should" means. If the word used was "shall", it is extremely obvious that it is mandatory. "May" also is not ambiguous. But - literally - I do not know what "should" is implying...

You wrote "So, CCS required". But what is the force of law, or of regulatory action, or enablement/refusal, of the word "should" in this context?

Thank you for that response. It's good to hear that it might be possible to replace solely the driver's door release, and I appreciate your reasoning for Tesla to avoid out-of-warranty gratis replacements.

The problem that showed up on our 2017 Model X has, via a search through this "Interior/Exterior" forum, occurred with a handful of others. A few months ago, the driver's door stopped opening properly. When attempting to open either via key fob, exterior latch or interior screen, it would first...

whee?

Stop using your and our time on a Tesla report to advertise your private company, Mr Musk. Corporate Governance 101.

TAKING A BREAK from taking a break - For those new to the investment world, take a look at the upper of the two articles Dodger has posted: "Naked Short Selling..." Second column, near the bottom: "...then-SEC Chairman William Donaldson...saying...don't meddle in this...". I've not seen...

I have tagged this post by emplacing it in the "...of Merit" thread so that all can make use of it when needing to present solid material to counter those who wish to champion hydrogen as an alternative to EVs. Moderators' Choice: Posts of Particular Merit It also presents an amazing example...

There is no homeschooling going on at 0329, so I’m here for a bit. 44 TeslaPoints to whoever first demonstrates the parallel between what we have just seen from Tesla and what Henry Ford did between 1908 and 1913…and on through 1924. Nothing new under the sun. But it sure is shining brightly...

Cartographic specialist here breaking silence once again to rap knuckles. Fortunately, class today with Gus involves maps, so….. Before knuckle-rapping begins, a word for all to remember: any time someone shows especially a full-global map, ask yourself if that is the most appropriate...

OK, I'm game: I won't say "Cybertruck", I'll say you misspelled CeleryStalk. (hint: hit that 894352 link).

Checking in and breaking silence just to note - Holy Cow - I have stood exactly at that crater's 17,887-foot (5453m) high rim - and inside it - when I was in high school. The first of my many, many volcano climbs in Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Japan, Hawaii…(oddly, none in...

May the New Year bring all much happiness. The thread is now open.

Hello all: I had expected to post this some time over the past few days, but then realized it would interfere with market commentary during the intra-holiday week. To ensure all will find this post, I'll be closing the thread for a number of hours - probably until the European contingent will...

And, as forewarned.....

Hello all: Thread will be locked for 6-9 hours or so later today. Post now or you'll have to wait until 2023. Other Investor Sector threads will remain open.

I'll dive into glass: Flat easier production 👍 eaiser to install 👍 Bulletproof...ish more demanding to produce/QC👎 more laminae?👎 more exotic composition👎 I do not know how to verify the three downthumbs above...I'd have to go back to my Pittsburgh glass pioneer grandfathers and they've...

In the past 24 hours a number of you have posted your lists of items you think - or hope - Tesla will have accomplished by the end of the upcoming year. These and any more will be enshrined in Tesla Significant Milestones 2023: Your 31/12/2022 lists here which, as shown in the opening post...

Copy/pasted to the first post in this thread; thus deleted this one.

@MC3OZ: When did Tesla bring glass production in house? Our newest Tesla is a 2017 - still makes use of the AGP Glass company provided in the first Teslas. I'll go farther out and state that I shall be very surprised if Tesla has found it appropriate to float their own glass. As with metal...

I wouldn't want to think like Mr Musk, partly because if I did, then I would consider myself inappropriate as a candidate for the BoD. More strongly: that would be the single most inappropriate attribute a Board member should possess. Now, before the catcalls and tomato-throwing begin, recall...

My reaction when seeing the prices shown during launch was: "Ugh. This sounds as though Tesla did not learn much from their "Cheaper than traditional solar panels...or roofs!..." with the launch of their solar tiles." How did that one perform on your test?

The Model X is not an off-road vehicle; its suspension is not anywhere near so beefy as the CT's had better be; its air suspension nowhere close to having the large range the CT's had better have (220mm is a good ballpark figure); and with hundreds of thousands of Model Xs behind them, Tesla had...

Bulleproof glass, a very large amount of a specialized stainless steel, a supremely complex suspension system - these are a few differentiating factors that are costly. As you mentioned production costs rather than capital costs - even amortized to a per-vehicle basis - I'll grant you that we...

I realize “not much more” is a flexible term, but I cannot but think you are much more optimistic than sensible.

Welcome back. Stay a while!

Call-out to you record-keepers, if you please: How does today’s TSLA volume compare, split-adjusted, with other high volume days?

I must have partaken of those stiff ones I’d mentioned, as I’ve no idea what TLA is supposed to mean.

You’re welcome.😇 PS: WYSIWYG (or ..P) , SNAFU, FUD are acronyms: each can be pronounced as a standalone word. GM (in any of its meanings), AAA, MSRP, WTF, PS itself - those are abbreviations: one has to say each letter.

Irrespective of MSRP shenanigans or lack thereof, and of FomoCo's very strong wordings to dealers who abuse the "S" in MSRP, I am in absolute belief that Ford's dealers will easily find ways to snag virtually all the benefits of the IRA's largesse. With Tesla, WYSIWYP rules. With all others -...

Read his words carefully.

I, and everyone else, can breathe more easily now. Thank you for finding that (how did you do it so quickly??!??).

Alex: I regard that post as highly unethical. It puts me as Moderator, AND anyone considering purchasing or selling TSLA, in difficult positions. I have had to sit on my hands any number of times over the years; it is not easy but it is the correct thing to do. Thank you for your understanding.

Substance, people. Three recent posts containing nothing, or effectively nothing, but a meme have disappeared. There is no reason to bring this thread down to the level of a Sunday morning kid show. qv “Post Of No Value”, henceforth PONV.

Great Scott, can’t Tesla do anything right? What the blazes are those dips in the 2023 chart?

Well, word-player that I am, I always have chosen to think he was trying to say "wreckless". But, alas, deep down I knew yours to be the correct interpretation. Just not quite so fun.

Yeah: I am something other than happy. My fees are 6¢ per hour - meaning the cumulative bill comes to $16 e^4 and rising. Endit.

It is become rather difficult to post anything in this thread that is insightful and original, as the past 72 +/- hrs of posts demonstrate. But here is something that is, at least, original. I too have been tearing my hair out trying to decipher what “Burnt Hair” might mean. What about...

You've been around long enough to know one of my lesser mantras: Words Count. Well, in that vein, grammar counts, too. And personal pronouns are one thing; nouns are another. So you're muddling things terribly if you believe what you write: that you don't understand why pronouns are no...

We're in a League of Two! Any more?

There are times when if my creations are included in dictionary.com, I feel I've wasted my work.

The cat’s mother?

As those who frequent my “Perpetual Roundtable” in the Investor Sector should be aware, I eschew to approximately 100% in my writing (spoken language, too), the misuse of ”they/them/their” to refer to a single person. I find it absolutely natural to write or say “he or she”, “him or her” or...
