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

    This apparent volume spike seems to lack cause, and the whole image (from Yahoo Finance) is weirdly contradictory... with itself. No one has commented on it yet, so this is me trying to be... topical? Happy Friday!

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

    In 2024, I predict that I will be a Teslanaire. Again. And then I won't. And then I will. And then I won't. And then I will. And then... HODLing since 2012, and the ride is FAR from over- WHEEEEEEEE!!! Best Wishes for a New Year full of Hope and Promise!

    Tesla Unionization

    So, this popped up on my computer: "Study on Extortion Racketeering the Need for an Instrument to Combat Activities of Organised Crime" (2008?) A study financed by the European Commission - DG JLS (Contract No. JLS/2008/D2/002) Sweden: pp.223-230...

    From 2016... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/1815971/ I wonder if this is an Xpel product... Maybe I'm not *quite* as cRaZy as I think I am. Happy Tuesday!

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

    Okay, you didn't mean to insult, so I'll take back my "Disagree". But FYI, some of us "solo travelers" prefer to travel alone because we spent decades traveling for work, hewing to the schedules/needs of others, running crews, herding performers (or family members), going to meetings, fittings...

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

    No problems here. Opened TD account in 2012 to hold my TSLA separate from my other accounts (post-financial-meltdown paranoia), opened Schwab account in 2021 to get a SBLOC (AKA PAL), since TD wouldn't talk to me about it (Schwab acquisition already under way, so I guess they didn't want to...

    Building prefab / modular homes

    I would be very interested in reading about your progress/ experience, as I've been planning a net-zero retirement compound for my brother and me for decades... As it turns out, he has been planning the same thing for a few years, so we are now looking for land somewhere east of the Mississippi...

    I've fallen behind again, but the headlines have inspired the following "blurt". My apologies if it's already been covered. Hey NHTSA, thank you!!! Thank you for all of the SPECIAL attention you are paying to Tesla, helping them improve their software, showing the world how Tesla cars improve...

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

    I give up. The more I read, the more unread posts pile up, many of which appear to be whingeing and whining about Elon being Elon and the Market being the Market. There just aren't enough hours in the day, and the rest of my life needs more of my attention. I'm just going to leave these...

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

    Heh, so yesterday afternoon, when TSLA was in the low 620s, I decided that I had waited as long as I could to sell a few shares for living expenses (I've been considering/prepping for the next leg of my journey). My sell order triggered at market open. You're welcome! PS: Don't feel sad for my...

    The next time TSLA volatility has you hyperventilating, take a deep breath and say, "WheeeEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEeee!!!" It'll calm your breathing and, unless you're a mutant, you'll find that it's impossible not to smile while you say it! Hang on tight and enjoy the ride! FD: My TSLA purchases...

    CNN Money review of the Model 3 - not very flattering

    Now hold on there; I have LOVED my manual transmission cars over the 40+ years I've been driving. I am really looking forward to skipping the whole automatic tranny phase and jumping straight to instant torque electric. And buying a cellphone... And having both improve through OTA updates over...

    Ban Transparency and Policies

    Cat herding is hard. And in the land of fora, largely thankless. I think TPTB here, do an excellent job of keeping this site civil, while welcoming diverse opinions... With regard to public shaming, because that's essentially what the OP is proposing, I wonder if long-term consequences ever...

    No Model 3, no cellphone. Yet. But this should be helpful for choosing a phone, so "Thanks!" for starting this! Happy Monday!

    Autocross will void Model 3 warranty.

    This disappoints me too; 40+ years of ICE driving, +road racing school (1990's) gave me good instinctive reactions in emergency situations that I fear may not necessarily serve me well in my first electric vehicle. I was hoping to find the limits and capabilities of my Model 3 in the controlled...

    New Roadster: Don't Need 250 mph

    I believe that the new Roadster must be just as presented for three reasons; it will 1) Shine up and enhance the aspirational halo the original Roadster gave the Tesla brand for potential buyers of Tesla’s ever-expanding line-up of products. 2) Give Mainstream Media...

    Supercharger - Kettleman City, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2017, 24 V2 + 16 V3 stalls, lounge)

    A good picture of a fully occupied KC SpC would make awesome 'puter wallpaper (that's what you call the background image on the "desktop", right?) .... And this would probably best be achieved during the holiday travel season..... Especially this year, while it's still all shiny and new...

    Best Wishes and Good Luck to All!

    You have obviously given your situation a great deal of thought, and your response to preachy posts that verge on bullying is as anti-inflammatory as anyone could wish. Good on ya. By our very presence in this community, we (okay, most) indicate at least a passing interest in helping to make...

    Discuss 18" vs 19" wheel/tire

    FINALLY!!! I was beginning to think that my eyes were the only ones in the gutter! Although...... given the S.3.X.Y. theme Elon is so fond of, it wasn't exactly unexpected.

    Reuters: Tesla Reduced Model 3 Parts Order Due to Bottlenecks

    Bottlenecks in Model 3 production don't necessarily mean bottlenecks in revenue; Tesla can prioritize non-US S/X sales and Tesla Energy projects to make $$$ AND push the 200k US sales mark past 12/31, or even 3/31. I wouldn't mind seeing the Model 3 ramp graph look more like a hockey stick than...

    [Media Mistake - False] No FM, Bluetooth, or USB Audio either?

    Well, I AM a troglodyte, so I'll have to wait to experiment until I have my Model 3, and some sort of portable music source (that uses a 3.5mm jack)... I'm still trying to decide what sort of cellphone I'm going to want............ heh. Happy Friday!

    Color of SN1?

    If I recall correctly, the first Whitestar (Model S) was white, so I would imagine the first Bluestar will be blue...... Then again I am a crazy person, so what do I know?

    Model 3 exotic colors

    Blue really SHOULD be a factory option for Bluestar........ But hey, wraps get more interesting every year. Maybe Xpel Ultimate will start making colors for an all-in-one solution. Happy Friday!
  32. GLDYLX

    Will teslas stock price play a factor in your ability to buy the model 3.

    No, but it could affect how I choose to pay for it. When I first started planning for my future Beloved, I decided that it would be super nifty if TSLA paid for my Tesla. I bought a block of shares (2012), which is tentatively earmarked for that purpose. I also have bought/am buying subsequent...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Actually, I was thinking about the various states that don't allow non-utilities to sell electricity.... But the "pros" are now outweighing the "cons" for me... And this (plus the potential explosion [in a good way] of solar/storage/auto B&Ms in banned states) could also help explain the...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Whoa. Hold up. If SolarCity is considered a utility, and becomes a part of Tesla, Supercharging could potentially become a pay-per-use (or subscription) revenue stream from apartment-dwelling Model 3 owners who need local charging..... Hmmmmmm...... Is that just too CrAzY to contemplate?

    Will You Love Your Model 3?

    I've been calling Bluestar my "Future Beloved" since ~ 2003, so yes, I believe I will. I love bacon, too. And The Macallan. And my close friends/relatives. Not necessarily in that order. :p

    ≡ Or 3, which one you like to be on the car

    If "Model 3" appears on my car instead of "Model ≡", I would like to be able to buy "Bluestar" from the Tesla store for a DIY mod.

    How Tesla Managed to Alienate Their Most Loyal Customers

    I've come to this thread late (busy working), and pretty much everything that came to mind as I caught up got posted, so thanks to all...

    I'm bored, when do we get more info on the 3?

    I originally thought, "Make that 4", but this is his thread, after all..... It's not like we can't control what we click on, so I won't be visiting again until the reveal. And that's OK. Do what you need to do to have a happy day. All. Of. You. :smile:
