    There's a reason why this move for cheaper version need to happen now. China has finished building out its own supply chain for lower cost EVs. So now every corp in china and their ccp daddy can sell a cheapo EV using the same suoply chain. Heck Huawei is coming out with one. At the same time...

    my skepticism in this method is that it brings in more variables for each line leading to inefficiency. I seem to remember tesla trying that in the beginning and abandoning the idea.

    Some interesting tidbit about this. In one of the interviews he took while eating at Taiwan's night markets (pun). He said he's had to pick and choose winners and losers who will be receiving chips based on what he believes ai needs to go in the future. And Tesla is one of the major ones. Not...

    Yes I've been waiting for a smaller car forever due to small parking spot and city streets. Will end up costing me more than my M3 because I will spec it to the max.

    I actually thought about this a lot. The number I am aiming for is about one order of magnitude above where I am and I am 4/10th of the way there. Now I can go through excruciatng pain and spend about 20 years to create a company that can get to that number. Or I can just sit back, put my...

    lol. Only one member from the 2009 gang filled the survey. Kufos to the 4 or so members in their 30s at the top share count. That means you committed an insane amount of networth when you are ~18 or so

    Eyeball it about 25% now. Cause I had 3 other things going on with the same suceess of TSLA. TSLA was the first though and accounted for 100% of my networth at one point.

    I've personally experienced this phenomena several times in life. My reaction to something that is suspisciously too good or something I cannot wrap my mind around is to ask more questions and do my research. But it seems that ppl nowadays prefers to shout "nooo" and deny its existence. So...

    I wouldn't say I am a wonderful human being. More like I am a hoarder and I like to extract all the information I can first. For ex. I'd piss them off on purpose sometimes so I can extract confidential information from them when they spew things out of anger. It's a bad habit I have from growing...

    Another update. I believe I said I set out to try to help a group of local young ppl and lift them up before I left. The conclusion I got from this experiment is ppl would rather feel good than to seek the truth that will allow them to improve their lives. Well, that experiment failed...

    I find that with these internet stock picker gurus. They usually back track like that and say "oh I didn't sell all" No screenshot = no proof BTW is it me or are we in a TSLA winter? This forum is quieter than I remembered which usually coincide with bad tsla periods.

    Time will tell, but in 10 years they'd be 30 something. I noticed it started near the end of the pandemic on the way back from group hike. As I was giving a free ride to the 20 something cause gas was 200/liter back then. It strike me as notable cause he hated it enough to risk trash talkimg...

    It never occurred to me as an honesty thing. Ideological maybe? It's just a new trend. Whereas before it was a one sided approval of tsla. There are many also who supports tsla. I didn't do a proper survey to count the ratio.

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

    oh well. I can only do survey with ppl around me. But I do get the weird impression that they spew the same complaints. Even the way it's worded sometimes. And I have this 6th sense now and can feel it coming.

    I've been going around asking several different groups. And for the current 20s generation. Unfortunately many got turned off tesla by what musk spewed out on Twitter. I actually pushed the envelop, went further and asked them to put a number on this Elon Musk reputation discount. So for Equal...

    I actually prefer a more neutral presentation where flaws were pointed out. Otherwise it sounded too much like marketing and I wonder if they got paid off.

    In any case, most military analyst agree that China won't have enough amassed for an invasion before 2025 ~26 And that they will have to do something else than amass troops to catch Taiwan by surprise. I've actually seen some war gaming scenarios that might work for China, but some of them...

    no, Original projection was August 4th. Newer source says 3rd. So a day earlier. But not today. There are a couple of planes that landed in Japan which raised a few eyebrows. including 9 refueling planes that can service 4~6 fighters each.
