    At least we now have silver again?

    That would be a ticket-able offense in most of the US as you have to drive the wrong way twice to park in such a way. Seems really dangerous.

    The examples I have seen of this are people street parking at a lamp post in a urban area, not a proper parking lot.

    I love this use-case, but then it opens up the question of charge port location standards, for that to work they would have to be on the passenger side.

    The other option is receptacles available at parking spots and its BYOC. Minimal infrastructure needed for that. But at the same time, really only works in a high trust society I guess.

    My question was more about the value Powershare has in Tesla vehicles, especially if it's an option on vehicles going forward. If I could charge say $2,500 for the capability in my car, but then you could turn around and write off at least a portion of that use for home backup, there could be a...

    Nothing against those of you that are attorneys, but if that is the case then maybe just say that and leave out the ambiguity? I am sure the IRS has clear instructions on this.

    That is unfortunate as a CT is cheaper than the equivalent in Powerwalls

    What does "Primarily" mean in this case? My CT sits in my driveway plugged into my house easily 51%+ of the time. So, it is primarily a home energy storage device for me. Not trying to cause trouble, but an honest question.

    Question I cannot find an answer to online and my CPA friends seem to think it's worth a go. If I use my Cybertruck Powershare feature to provide battery backup for my house, does it qualify for the Residential Energy Credit on form 5695? The instructions for line 5a have no language aside from...

    So >10% meaning about 10% otherwise why not say 15% or 20%? Unless at time of writing he didn't know the total count because some metric was simply being applied across divisions.

    2018 9% and 2022 10% of salaried are the recent years layoffs.

    You and me both. But we know how people work. There is also nothing stopping Tesla from raising prices to $400mo tomorrow either.

    Quick thought, this will further erode the value prop of the Foundation Series CT, going to see some unhappy people there that already didnt like they were "paying" more than the locked in $7k FDS price for early res holders.

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

    Welp, time to modify my order I am picking up Monday to remove FSD... no point in paying $12k for FSD that now has a 10yr ROI. Interesting change as you would think upfront cash would be better than sub revenue, but I guess they are hoping for a greater uptake, which well could be the case.

    Got assigned a VIN today for my CT order, its in the 3,000s. Also came with a disclosure that none of the computer vision stuff is shipping yet and I had to acknowledge it before I can progress with delivery. Didnt note anything about the missing elocker or hub caps, which I assume they later...

    Man, didnt think that would be so triggering to people. Yes yes, email moar better as i read it from my fusion powered computer using my neighbors guest WiFi.

    not debating which is cheaper, just curious what the true cost of an email is. I mean you need internet service, a computer, an email service, which has data centers/staff/etc., then an end user that also has internet service and a computer to receive it.

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

    Has anyone ever broken down the relative cost to send an email? Because it is not free. Would be curious.

    Could Tesla spin off business units than create a parent holding company that would have shares with super-voting rights? Could do Tesla Automotive, Tesla Robotics, Tesla Energy and roll them into new hypothetical X (not that one) holding company?

    While we are on it we should get upset with any CEO that drinks, smokes, doesnt exercise, eats poorly, dependent on caffine, doesnt get enough sleep, doesnt agree with me, etc ... since all of these are liabilities and all. Are employees really complaining about this or does the author think...

    Could also be that it was 1,000ea for the AWD and Cyberbeast. Though it seems the Cyberbeast is more limited as when I got my invite in the second round it was already out to H2 of 2024.

    Same, and agree, helps make it feel a bit more airy and adds visual interest.

    It is just the door inserts and dash insert, not the seats and other trim bits like in other models. None the less, is a curious choice for these first vehicles.

    The bigger canary to me is the number of people I see getting a second job and the number of my wife's friends that were home with their kids that are strongly considering going back to work or already have. That is not the sign of strength in a market and short term inflation is 100% to blame.

    It has at times been quite humorous the level of revision. That said, it does appear to be working if that is indeed the motivation and not just terrible reporting and aggregating.

    Might be a different story if Tesla owns the carriers, but those things arent making money if they are driving around empty. They have likely booked a route that has them occupied out and back.

    Seems the long term answer is no, but doesnt stop something from moving sideways for a decade.

    Yeah, the ability to still stop while towing a load is a big part of a towing capacity, it's one thing getting a load rolling, its a whole other thing stopping it.

    Can it put it self out when it catches on fire? Wonder what the efficiency is of such a thing.

    How does one install/remove this range extender (a few Optimus bots?), to get this claimed millage this thing will need to be 75kWh-ish or the size of a MY pack, not to mention you then wont be able to haul anything due to the weight of the pack being almost the entire payload capacity. Also...

    My house has doubled in value since the CT was announced, my grocery spend is up 38% and I doubt removing the 6th seat, lift gate ramp etc. will offset inflation over that time. If we look at the dollar alone we are at what like 4.74% annual or nearly 20% over the past 4 years?

    Do people really think it will be inline with OG prices? I have long given up on that hope. I will be amazed if the dual-motor is less then 70s and the tri 90s. That is my expectation anyway.
