I'm in the UK, all low-tax investment wrappers hold shares via CREST. I can’t vote. I think most UK retail would support the board but we can't generally. Not sure if "my" shares' votes are voted by some institution.

Looks like it will be turned into a book.

It was a long twitter post. I can understand people choosing not to read it. Fascinating and well researched.

Free oil changes for life...

Elon was correct. The media were wrong but never tried to write the truth.

Perhaps not relevant to OP or many others, but for newbies, there will be threads talking about apps/websites that are useful for EVs including charging. Although recent updates aren't to my liking, A Better Route Planner (ABRP) is useful for when Tesla supercharging isn't available. Go...

A friend was thinking of buying a hybrid. I mentioned that the battery type is different from pure Battery EVs, as a disclaimer to the following:- Smaller battery > more cycles > less battery life Buying a secondhand hybrid would be risky without some understanding of hybrid (model)...

For me, it depends which way I park the car, away from house seems to be just outside wifi range. For anyone whose parking prevents wifi (underground carpark) - you might just need to find another usable wifi network (fast-food, work, relatives?). I don't know if Superchargers have wifi - I've...

Elon pioneered for others to follow as he had enough higher priorities. No successes from others as far as I'm aware. Still an open goal for the right set of people to perfect.

Apologies if others have made my point, but I'm still wading through many pages. USA ICE cars "sales" are best described as "Channel Stuffing" (via dealers - whose stock has ballooned to unsustainable levels). Even USA Toyotas & Hondas are having buildups in many models. Tesla's "inventory"...

Can you get an EU vet to do some paperwork? Dim recollection of seeing a video on this. Maybe Andrew Till, maybe someone else. Need a UK one first.

Not sure I understand your post. It was around a quid (depends on if you wanted to pay for text reminder) for "10 minutes" which allowed for 4 hours of parking.

For several years, the Starship (yes, that's the company name) delivery robots near me have been asking people to press the buttons at pedestrian crossings or asking for a push if they get stuck.

Also - check out reddit UK Finance / Fire & work out to minimise charges - even employer/workplace contributions can be swept into a low cost SIPP several times a year (most/many schemes).

Semi-retired for a while now. Still do projects, consultancy - but not much. Saved some money into ISA/TESSA (not much), had tiny pensions (eaten by commissions/charges). Let others control/influence investments, mostly UK dividend stocks where I didn't know much about the company itself. I've...

Just had a bunch of cars stolen around here. Not sure of models as haven't talked first hand with neighbours yet. I'm assuming Range Rovers & Porsche Macans, but could be anything without Pin To Drive. Both of these are near uninsurable & worthless now.

Science says no.... he's comparing new ICE to new BEV, but plenty of used BEV nowadays. Even with a new BEV, won't take too long to improve on a CO2 basis, instant on air pollution basis - full switching would save thousands (maybe tens of thousands, maybe more) of UK lives, millions across the...

Fleet includes private buyers via some kinds of finance. Private buyers includes cash and maybe some other finance,but not all. This is why fleet is such a high percentage and private is only a subset of private buyers

Cheapest way. Plenty of Tony Seba/Adam Dorr videos or people commenting on it. Renewable cheaper to BUILD and run than fossils are to run, even if overprovisioning. Excess domestic electricity can be sold to neighbouring countries at a profit. Think about when windy weather moves west to...

Why "private buyers"? Minority of sales for years now. Many "private buyers" lease cars - hence won't be classed as "private" - business or fleet sales. I've heard this "private" narrative a lot recently. Seen it debunked multiple times - but it refuses to die. The urea limit was a marketing...

Tony Seba - style overprovision of Solar & Wind by 3-5 times average demand plus storage and international interconnects (many more online now, even more planned).

37 minutes - Optimus & Self-Driving/Cybertruck as further improvements. "Controlling an army of Optimus robots... something you all can't do!", Mars. 42 minutes, recovery from operation easy - out same day, 10 day wait before charging/using device.

Solar/Wind/Storage cheaper and most critically faster to bring online than nuclear, phase by phase, bit by bit. The huge delays for political/oil corruption reasons in the UK are a scandal. Energy independence held up for years exposing us to petro-dictators, shipping problems and other bottlenecks.

In the USA, apartment dwellers have EVs as a larger % than those living in houses (Source: - good watch for personas like "EV haters"). UK - Tesla charges as low as 28pence/kWh depending on how busy. That's cheaper than many general electric tariffs. USA - high takeup rates in California...

EVS better, fewer moving parts, scope for longer-lasting cars than overstressed small ICE engines (ecoboost, turbo). This is the most important aspect in recent comments - "A small decrease in growth rate of EVs". EV growth is happening, but not always and in all places by 70-100+% a year. New...

Initially: "INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER" Eventually: Multivac > Analog Computer > "LET THERE BE LIGHT!"

It's obvious that tesla will grow massively in terms of Superchargers in Sweden. Any company that loses today's Tesla business is forfeiting a huge potential. Employees may realise this, Tesla may be a significant reason for their employment today. This could be the daftest idea so far in...

Can you go back to basics and check premises. Why 3 months in a carpark? What would happen to the 12 volt of an ICE car? Why would the battery go down? Top up 12 volt. Very minor, mostly the wake up/keep awake energy. Sentry mode - switch off preferably or wait until car switches off when...

Missed the location - avoid Opels...

Don't park near Range Rovers, Vauxhalls or BMWs.

At €485000 each - I'll have 2

Possible production line equipment amongst this (red/white) - taken away and then being restocked. Joe speculates that this "might be part of that next generation line"

Some garage power points are a potential weakness especially if old under sustained use, not UMC.

Big explosion, so presumably large amounts of ammunition amongst the cargo. I don't think the details of logistics will make it up the ladder to Putin as it's a career/life-limiting move. Logistics might collapse quickly, together with Russian Federation's dependence on dumb artillery for...

Is it a proper EVSE ("charger") or the 3 pin plug ("granny charger"). EVSE fine, granny charger - I probably wouldn't leave it plugged in. Car won't need power anyway if sentry mode is on, car doors closed.

Or charge to 70% and set max charge to 50% - no charging expected unless you left sentry mode on. remember to undo sentry mode/max charge when you get back.

38% is massive considering the relative lack of personal experience, FUD & understanding of EVs. Also shows that percentages based on NEW vehicle buyers are different from surveying all people (many of whom would buy second-hand).

Is there or has there been evidence for "demand limited" except in time or location pockets that get sorted out (or sort themselves out) within a short period. It's not like the legacy OEM's USA dealerships with 300+ days of supply. If you're looking at sales/demand for a novel product being...

Fair enough, didn't read correctly. Skimmed it as I was being called.

I tap the chargeport with my hand.

Time seems to be related to presenteeism. Energy, for Elon Musk is probably most readily available when he sees the importance of the problem. Hence why he flits between businesses, fixing the most urgent, important, vital aspects or spending time and energy of thinking through whole systems...

One of Tesla's strengths may be a small tight team of mega effective staff. They can only do so much at one time, but their capital efficiency is in a class of its own. Fewer, better, cheaper rather than a small expensive army of great, but not greatest engineers

Better in some ways for the highly talented Tesla managers and engineers to bumble along doing outstanding work, achieving beyond competitors' comprehension and then Elon gives them the help they need to get past any roadblocks. That way Tesla is incredibly innovative and effective while...

Russian Federation is different from Russia. Dozens or hundreds of downtrodden nationalities. Russians are primarily located in a few areas/cities. A lot of the mineral rich areas are not primarily Russian. Russian Federation splitting is just a natural continuation of USSR splitting.

Not one of your many statements has rung true to me or convinced me. When tesla semis are available in large enough numbers, diesels will be completely uneconomic and worth scrap value.

Presenteeism shouldn't be rewarded. Results or effective contributions should be.

If in doubt, the answer is deliveries, not "sales". This is my criticism of some commentators. Tesla can increase production, but especially in Germany it means it's a big commitment and this is a lower demand seasonally for most of Europe (remarkable then that prices are rising). So a step...

I have used ChatGpt to have conversations in a language which has few written sources or learning resources. Looked up some "prompt engineering" prompts to get it going in the right direction. Outputted word frequency lists with both target and English language words for spaced repetition app to...

Electric planes will nibble at the edges for a while (perhaps freight & cheap to run trainer - especially in UK or other places where there are high fuel taxes), I think about Heathrow, it has limited operating hours due to Noise from arriving/departing passengers vehicles on nearby roads...
