Thanks. You are right; the updated and corrected information I got said that my physical presence requirement is because of the trade-in pickup that happens at the time of delivery. If I were to sell my trade-in after delivery to a third party, I wouldn't have this issue. But I would then need...

I have just ordered a new Model Y with FSD transfer and trade-in of my current Model 3. I did not want an inventory car specifically because of the risk that an inventory car might not have HW4. I am not financing the car purchase. However I expect to be out of town during delivery and through...

It is likely that each of the cost of initial set up and the cost of ongoing operation of a supercharger location for the business is low compared to cost of set up and operation of a gas station. So the utilization rate does not have to be anywhere near as high to run an EV charging facility...

Weekend OT. Hello @BioSehnsucht - You received compliments from @ Baumisch for your screen name. I looked up the word sehnsucht and Google Translate converts it to "longing" and "nostalgia". What indeed does the word biosehnsucht convey? Is it nostalgia over a cleaner planetary environment of...

So many Internet postings attempt at predicting the future and later earn the designation of "didn't age well". This post from @Cosmacelf has aged very well indeed. I owe gratitude to him for sharing this knowledge for I have benefited from buying some of his recommendations. I wonder if you...

In particular, I find that community colleges in the United States offer extraordinary value for money in science education. For the price of a good quality headset each, I have taken several semester-long courses that include lectures by highly qualified instructors passionate about the subject...

In the conversations regarding sources of funding for media campaigns against Tesla, the old guard industry sectors get brought up (oil, old auto etc.), understandably so. Why do people not think next-gen companies are in it too? Google, Amazon, Apple, Intel (Mobileye), Nvidia and others like...

Can’t tell if these are isolated data points or start of a trend but combining this Lora article - particularly the carefully worded headline - with last week’s extremes-poll (must pick between “Elon is God and I love Tesla car” and “Elon is evil and I hate Tesla car”) opens up a new...

Nice informative commentary. You provide two links to articles on distortion of time perception during stress; it turns out they are links to two different articles. The one that is downloadable ("pdf" in your note) talks about effects of stress but does not discuss time distortion at all. The...

A possible motivation for a survey like this could be to sow dissension inside Tesla and provide nourishment to sources within Tesla employee base or Tesla board who wish to challenge Elon. Two factors that contribute to this not being too remote a possibility: The deliberate arrangement of...

Your description of your lifestyle as it relates to environmental impact matches mine almost to a T with two differences (i) my apartment is 900 sq. ft and (ii) I drive 200 miles a week (in an EV :)) - the guilt of which is somewhat assuaged by the fact that the driving is for a good purpose...

I trust your intentions are good (absent evidence to the contrary) and that you spend energy to research and write these articles because you want the world to transition to sustainable energy as rapidly as possible. With due respect to you, I question however, the method you have chosen in...

I believe that people who do things on a grand scale (good or evil) that get written up in history books do not follow third party constructed formulae to do what they do; they have a bright light burning inside that impels them on the direction to take. Elon Musk belongs in this category. It...

I see that this forum has a mix of people who (i) only buy and hold (ii) buy and hold and do some options trading as an integral part of investment strategy and (iii) do heavy options trading that has no connection with an overall investment strategy. There are discussions in this forum...

I am researching investment opportunities in robotics space and found useful this article (almost a year old currently). Thought I'd share. I was also curious to see if other people who might know the space better felt this article does a good or poor job of summarizing the opportunities. Among...

Recent Tesla Energy related discussions have included comments along the lines of “each of us in the energy business” and “distributed utility” worth “trillions of dollars”. For clarity, let’s use the term “Homeowner Utility” to refer to the phenomenon of individual homeowners generating...

I also have an upcoming road trip to Yellowstone. I have a few questions/comments. I have been scanning multiple threads where Yellowstone related discussions are active and I posted something similar in one other thread also. Don't mean to spam and won't post anywhere else. This Yellowstone...

I also have an upcoming road trip to Yellowstone from the bay area. I have a few questions. This Yellowstone National Park Service site lists charging stations available inside the park. The page says that the Level 2 chargers listed there provide power "to anyone who brings an electric...
