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

    Just a small data point, but I'm freakin ready for all cars to be autonomous. I drive across the DFW metroplex every day to get to work and people suck at driving. There are accidents constantly (one yesterday and two this morning!) that back up traffic. The next thing I see that creates traffic...

    The Resource Angle

    So it seems you just need to crush the glass to put it back into sand form...I've done some research and it seems there is no chemical change from sand to glass or glass to sand, it's just physical form, so I'm assuming that using the recycled sand from glass would/could hold the same amount of...

    Hell YES! Let's do this, but don't f***ing tease me for another 5 years. Do it and do it quick.

    Tesla Annual Shareholder Meeting

    Well, I've been saying for over year now Elon needed to STFU, but noooooo. And.Here.We.Are.

    The Resource Angle

    Maybe this has been talked about already, but has anyone invested in a sand storage company? I keep thinking how we need to get off plastics and the best thing to do would be to go back to glass. You could "recycle" the old glass by melting it and then use it to store energy. I just watched...

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

    Well, from an engineering prospective, Tesla makes the safest cars, so why would they use someone else's?

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

    I really don't care about the Q1 call next week, as that is all about what happened in the past. Any details about 8/8 and the future of Tesla are more important right now to clear up all this uncertainty.

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

    Now THAT would be amazing. A true AI vehicle with FSD capabilities. Neat.

    Tesla Annual Shareholder Meeting

    Same here. I'll vote for it, but I'm a lot more unsure about the overall sentiment of the shareholders. I bet it passes, but maybe by not as much as last time...

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

    We have two Model 3's, but my wife works at home, so hers usually just sits in the garage. I could use my personal FSD car to drive to work (about an hour), send it back if she needed it during the day, and then have it come pick me back up. Then there's the whole "family's who are about to...

    Needs to be like the Investor Day presentation then and NOT like the Model Y reveal.

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

    I honestly want a detailed roadmap of the next six years now. AI/NN training is so vague and not tangible enough for us investors. Cells and chemistry was something to research, to learn, to understand.

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

    so, uuhh, when's the annual shareholder meeting?.........last year it was May 16th....exciting times!....

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

    Yep. If true, it seems batteries and battery chemistry are not the main topics anymore.

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

    umm...so what about the cathode and lithium plants?........

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

    Say it ain't so! Drew was my number 2 guy to look to after JB left....bah. WTF is going on with this company? 4680 problems? Chemistry complete we don't know about and so Drew is not needed anymore?

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

    So, we know the Earth is warming up due to our behavior...Realistically, what do you guys think is the amount of time it will take to get the public to use robotaxis all the time vs. owning a cheaper model? We here can see the end game for transportation, but the goal is to get off of fossil...

    There's nothing woke up the physics of what's happening to our planet. The data is there. He needs to go back to "first principles" thinking.

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

    hahaha, woooooow. ok, then Elon. So what is the point of the acceleration then? Just mind your business and let it slowly develop... It's always been about us...the planet will be fine, but it's us humans that will suffer....F*CK. The CEO just said this. THE CEO of Tesla. Tesla's mission...

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

    haha, then people need to use the correct stat of how many Tesla's on the road are actually able to use FSD. No, they did not split it out. It seemed like it was for both parts and labor. I was going to get it yesterday, as the app says it's just $1,000 for the hardware upgrade, but found out...

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

    While I understand the thought process and where we are going with this, I've seen a lot of people just lump all the Tesla cars on the road into a statistic like number 4 on the list. Reality though, is that there are thousands of owners like me who have 2.5 hardware and would have to upgrade...

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

    And I wonder how many employees actually agree with all of Elon's personal (and very radical) opinions...maybe a small percentage? That's it I bet.

    Investor Engineering Discussions

    I really perked up at the 23 minute mark when I heard Shirley say 5-6 minutes for charging - 15 to 20C. I mean, IMO, that's the last strawman argument to be knocked down.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I saw our first Cybertruck in the parent community in carpool this morning! Everyone was in awe. :)

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

    This segment came out 6 days ago, but I don't remember seeing it posted here. I was skeptical when I saw the CNBC logo, but it actually turned out to be a very positive, data driven piece.

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

    Or maybe, just maybe - now here me out - what if, what if the CEO makes sure the product is being manufactured correctly like he did with the 3, you know, since it's a new type of car, instead of bitching about immigration and being a bullying on his social media platform he bought for himself...

    So who on here lives around DeSoto, Kansas and can update us on the progress? Let's go shareholders!!

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

    Same goes for lots of Tesla Bot enthusiasts on here who think it's already a home run....looks like Figure just hit a grand slam. Elon must be tisming to the max right now.

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

    Is the CEO going to post a rebuttal as well?

    All discussion of Rivian Automotive

    Seems to me what Rivian is doing is the same thing Tesla is doing with the Mexico plant...
  33. ggies07

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

    haha, yeah. Exactly. That's why I posted the question if Tesla has Billions in cash just sitting there, what happened?

    All discussion of Rivian Automotive

    So is this good or bad? Seems like they will save money, but I don't know if they needed that plant...

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

    Well, whatever extra resources it takes. I work at a private school in Dallas and for years it was just Teslas. Now I'm seeing more and more Rivians....No GM EVs, 2 Ford Mach Es, 2 Lucid's and that's it. It's Tesla and Rivian here and I bet we have the most EVs out of all the schools surrounding us.

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

    ok, well, whatever it takes. I don't follow the company too closely, but I like their products better than the big 3.

    It's got a very retro 80's vibe to me:
  38. ggies07

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

    I say let the 3 major autos collapse and put all those resources into Rivian. Tesla and Rivian to move us towards 100% all electric driving.

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

    I'm so confused...Tesla has billions in cash, so why does every factory not have enough solar/battery storage for outages like this?

    The Neuralink Master Thread

    I opened this thinking it was going to be about Neuralink, but found out it's a different company...had no idea there are others out there just as far along.

    Climate Change / Global Warming Discussion

    I read this book when it came out in 2015 and it really opened my eyes: This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate
