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

    if the "3d" reconstruct is as useful as the V11 update where the car flips around on park and you have to hunt to logically find the trunk button....PASS Still buying more $TSLA ;-)

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

    Further the F350 and range….(we also tow light trailers with our Model 3). You lose range towing (regardless of fuel) - but stop and go is surprisingly efficient with an EV. Think of the added energy needed to launch for fun, except slow (towing) and then you get increased regeneration due to...

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

    Not really. As a reformed F350 diesel owner, who had a large boat (12k+) and a 4700lb camper in the bad (never at the same time). The pull test shows real world power where you need it. And how much better it is. Pulling the boat up a ramp, or driving up a mountain with the camper into 30 mph...

    Model 3 front suspension clunking

    Sad to say, the top hat$ from KW did not solve my clunk. I do have what seems like loose half shafts or excess gear lash…can someone confirm you have a similar sound with one wheel in the air… That sound is similar to what I hear over small bumps and slower / slow speeds.

    Tesla new steer-by-wire, that'll be a HELL NO for me....

    My 1999 F350 diesel pickup was a throttle by wire - that's a lotta years ago.

    Model 3 front suspension clunking

    I have a set from MPP arriving soon, will install this weekend and report (cobblestone roads in New England, and pot holes abound).

    Model 3 front suspension clunking

    Mine is certainly louder / more obvious with the MPP coilovers (I swapped back and forth to check - just for fun). But, do you have any supporting information or data to back this statement up? Not that I don't believe you - I checked or changed everything but the part you link to. I gave up...

    If you were legacy auto, had an MBA, you would certainly do exactly that. This is why legacy must die, and fast.

    Legacy had their chance, time to bury them all. It's all in a days work; part of the mission - and can't happen fast enough.

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    I subscribed, since I'm all in on $TSLA stock - I had to see. I'm very disappointed - overall. It's great on the interstate steady state driving, but the incessant nags (vs autopilot) almost negates the lane changing hassle with autopilot. Back roads in my area, completely useless and extremely...

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

    This argument, oft repeated, while good for $TSLA's mission is not really relevant (IMO). The late starting competition has to 'catch' a moving target. That target (Tesla) has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to move faster than any competition. That start-up mentality is (IMO) directly...

    Need 13,000 kWh annually; does that mean I should get 8.39 kW in panels?

    Like many things "it depends" - We have an 8.88 kw (dc) system that will output AC at 7.3 kw (inverter limited). In New England we did 12,200 KW last year. On an annual basis, our monthly average is just over 1000kwh. Our state has 100% net metering, but at the end of the month any surplus KWH...

    FSD $ info, please

    Having not tried FSD since the days of 'lane ping pong' (years ago) - we just subscribed for the Beta. I want my money back for the FSD subscription (2022 Model 3LR). It's what Autopilot should be, but FSD can't do anything on my local roads with any level of safety (opposite really, almost a...

    Just started an FSD bata trial. Wow - it's pretty good (last used it 4ish years ago) And WOW , makes you realize autopilot is, and seriously needs a refresh. Embarrassingly bad compared to FSD and lane keeping/changing.

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

    and I'm clearly saying that I feel it's a small(ish) group - but I think the FSD 'team' also includes (or should) some hardware folks (what I did in another life) in the same room - else the SW folks can get lost sometimes. Not sure what your mean, other than 'good job' ;-)

    Small number (200) for "word changing" technology - that I'm literally banking on. 1500 left at eX-twitter - a non-world changing technology (my opinion) that my banking has supported. Not sure I like those foreword looking shadow 'statements'. So from where I stand, a sphincter tightening...

    I'll take 1000 tesla bots without legs (1/2 BOT). As a 'reformed' Manufacturing Engineer working in contract electronics manufacturing (building circuit boards) - we had floors of 100's of people (humans) working on assembly lines (manual product movement, manual processes). It was lowish...

    Further the mission, it will. More BEV's to more people. I may not like the depreciating value of my Model 3, BUT it serves the same function as well as the day I bought it - a CAR. As a gaming platform? Tech device? not as much.

    Knock knock - who's there... Not yet.... It will take years, the stock will climb as we get closer - and I will be retired early either way.

    Give the cars away, supercharging only, $10 kwh. Or, how about no more subscriptions? Subscriptions are for Wall Street - not consumers - a business model that needs to die a rapid death.

    FSD discussion

    As much as I subscribe to the University of All Things Musk, I can't listen to any FSD promises without rethinking my subscription to the University. I may pay for FSD at some point, not because it's good - but because Autopilot is that bad. It's Friday - buy - day - but damn FSD statements.....

    M3P Auto wipers on when in Autopilot normal? [yes]

    Not financial advice, but I'd have put the 12K FSD into the cost of the car and reducing your loan - or drive the other cars until you don't need a loan.

    Can't help but to think we are witnessing the death knell of the ICE age.... The masses want EV, they just don't know it yet (drive it to believe it), price them accordingly - blast off!.... The foot dragging legacy can only shoot themselves in their feet for so long, cutting prices for them is...

    Autopilot needs manual lane change without disengage

    It long past due for Tesla to remove the "Beta" from Autopilot., and I think it's coming before year end (single stack software, using FSDb for lane keep assist and cruse control - AKA: Autopilot). (Just maybe then it won't weave toward off/on ramps like a dumb f*ck). As far as lane change - I...

    NEW MX has several issues; Unethical Business Practice

    I have to ask: How may cars have you owned? (Disclaimer: you may have a car with issues, but the issues you have described are minor - albeit annoying) But: you mentioned that possible problems might occur to a single service center employee - who didn't care. I'm with the service center...

    Had an F350 diesel for construction (1999, so....looong ago), and used a trailer for tools. Never, like ever, loaded/unloaded from the side (sans tossing a bag of trash). Today, I'd have a van and no trailer, 1000% of the time - but these were few and far between back in the day. For the folks...

    I bought at over $300. I still believe. I did average down…but bought more at $226 because my cash was having FOMO. IMO - the fun of investing also includes the pain. Some people put their money in managed accounts and pay more fees. No fun…much more fun to be accountable for your own choices.

    Been buying on Fridays to average down. Put in a pre market order cuz today is for something else... I call my method random DCA - also known as gambling ;-) Hopefully this trend continues with the mention of 'marketing' and watching the 'news' outlets lick Elon's zipper boots.
