    How much $ to retire and how to fund your lifestyle in retirement

    Reading all these posts, I have no idea how anyone can survive on $110K a year in a HCOL city in the US even assuming all debts are paid off. Looks like I have no easy way to avoid taxes even if I have enough savings to cover my expenses.

    Available '22 Model S Plaid Lease Transfer @ $1599/mo with $6877 cash incentive for 23 months + FREE US shipping!

    I notice that you're paying monthly for FSD. Is that correct? Is the $199 a month included in your payment? Any addons like tinting, PPF, or ceramic coating?

    TSLA Technical Analysis

    I would think this is normal behavior at year-end. Tax loss harvesting in December and buy back in January + 30 days to avoid the wash rule.

    2022 Model S Plaid FSD, Steering Wheel, Tint, Arachnids, Silver/Cream, Low Mileage

    Sorry, I didn't realize that yours had FSD. You listed Capability along with Autopilot so I thought it was just the latter. Your price is competitive then.

    He's a political hack and a DNC shill as I said three years ago. #TwitterFiles showed how media bias works in this country yet some still defend them.

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

    Earnings gain in 2021 was a one-time event going from negative to $5.5B based on Model Y ramp. Going forward, that isn't going to repeat and we can see a more normal 40-50% gain annually in earnings. The $5T in Fed stimulus plus 0% interest rates for two years was also a once-in-a-lifetime...

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

    He's not wrong though. Comparing TSLA to AAPL or SPY is not the right comparison as TSLA went up 10x while AAPL only went up 2x. Same with SPY. There is more to fall with TSLA like there was with ARKK.

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

    There was a massive increase in fundamentals but there was an even greater increase in the SP. From bottom in March 2020 at 30 to 400 in November 2021 was more than a 10x move. Fundamentals didn't go up 10x. It was the Fed.

    Model S Long Range Inventory Availability

    There's no way all 50 sold in just a few days. Either they pulled them for next quarter or will bring them back with an incentive. We will know in the first week of October.

    Model S Long Range Inventory Availability

    Yeah, they're back now. Must have been a bug. With this many available right before quarter close, I expect to see a new incentive come up next week to get rid of these quickly.

    How much $ to retire and how to fund your lifestyle in retirement

    If you retire before SS age (62), does is still calculate top 35 years and does zero income from early retirement (say 52) to 62 affect the amount you receive from SS at 62?

    2018 MR vs. 2020 SR+?

    Appreciate the replies. The 2021 definitely has benefits with a heat pump but I'm looking at a used model with FSD. Here are two I'm looking at: 2018 Model 3 | Tesla 2020 Model 3 | Tesla The MR seems like a pretty good deal even compared to a 2021 SR+.

    2018 MR vs. 2020 SR+?

    Would that be any different than a SR+ with 250 miles of range? I thought the MR was the same as the LR RWD with fewer cells?
  31. D

    2018 MR vs. 2020 SR+?

    Both used and with similar miles and similar price. Which one would you get? I think MR has a bit better range and supercharging speed but I'm not sure what improvements they added in the 2020 models.

    You won't have the penalty but still have to pay (ordinary) income taxes on the withdrawals.

    Correct. Also, it would be unconstitutional and require an amendment like income tax did in a 1913.
