I have an LR RWD that weighs ~3800 lbs and have driven both the perf 3 at 4000+ lbs and a SR which is supposed to be 3600 odd lbs. I could not tell the difference significantly between them. I am an enthusiast who loves to drive nimble and fast cars, and I was frankly surprised by my...

You are the one who suggested “it is expensive because software engineers work only 5 hours a day”. Generalizing that all companies in Silicon Valley have engineers like that. That’s crazy ignorant and stupid. And showing some YouTuber uploading a video proves that all of Silicon Valley is...

Keep revealing even more of your ignorance. I have over 24 years of working the Silicon Valley, in hardware and software design. I have run a successful software company which I started myself. I have multiple patents to my name. I have worked many 16+ hours days in my younger days. Even now...

OK, I’m new to the thread. It looks like I won’t stay around for long. 🙂 It’s okay to be anti-Semite as long as you are popular? If anyone thinks otherwise they are being nonsensical? I am sorry, but that’s not okay. I don’t care who you are. Also, there are many other reasons I cited there...

It’s expensive because there are high paying jobs in the tech sector, which attracts highly skilled workers, who earn more, and that leads to inflation. No one held a gun to Elon’s head to start Tesla where he did. He got the GM plant in Fremont for pennies on the dollar. A great perk. He got...

I am not arguing that he WILL fail, all I am saying is chances look bleak, and you cannot rely on an argument that “ in the past he has been successful”. It is your argument, not mine. 🙂 My understanding of what he intends to do is incomplete. Obviously. I don’t believe Elon has a complete...

Are you saying Elon has failed in the past, but won’t this time? Not sure if you know what you are talking about. of course, and I would too. That’s not the only criteria to apply here. Where is the credible strategy for success? ‘I’ll keep trying’ is not credible. How long? What if none of...

The fact that you derisively dismiss this as nonsense says how much of a thinker you are. Chief, there not just ‘far left politicians’ making a stick about Elon’s behavior. There are real, normal people regardless of political leanings (your attempt to paint it as only political again betrays...

Elon might not care about his money. We TSLA shareholders care about ours. If you are a smart investor, you’d too. It doesn’t matter how much effort Elon puts in into Twitter. That by itself should be a red flag, since it WILL take his time away from Tesla. The point is there is no strategy...

Its almost as if you don’t understand the difference between Tesla and Twitter. Tesla and SpaceX energized and motivated people. Twitter cannot, and will not do that. No matter how many conspiracy theories, vile anti-democrat wannabe dictators, or disgusting anti semites Elon thinks will...

Elon should have just bought this LieSocial platform. Could have saved him all this trouble, and to us TSLA shareholders. End result is going to be the same anyway, right?

Nice. My question was ‘what is the strategy to win‘.

And there is a quiet sort of pragmatism that we Joe schmoes have (I’m not super rich either) that these people don’t. I have dealt with many an investor in my life (as an entrepreneur) and many of them have giant egos that sometimes get in the way of rational decision making. Thank god I am...

Consumers then become the customers. Consumers have to see value. Thinking, rational people don’t like to see extreme opinions, conspiracies, hate speech, anti-democracy opinions, and racism. Do you think this group will want to actually pay to be on Twitter. Others will flock to their...

This is not about free speech. Anyone who claims that is clearly delusional, or just maliciously ignoring reality. It is about: 1. way overpay for a turkey of a social media company 2. try to piss off liberals while preening and pretending to be a “centrist” 3. piss of advertisers who might...

Yeah, so the point is it’s simplicity used as duplicitous cover for increasing the margins.

Simplicity? to trade off safety for “simplicity”?

Yes, that also seems like a good suggestion. Nothing is fool proof, though.

Oh, ok. So children accidentally opening the door v/s peoples ability to get out in a bad crash. However the Model Y has them. Also, they could make the door releases slightly difficult to open by putting them in recessed areas, or back of the door pockets, for example.

I agree. Tesla can, and should include the manual rear door release. Cost cutting?

Nope.

🤔

You can also just say ‘show me the tire pressures’. It’s a nice voice shortcut.

If you want to make less money. And lose loyal customers.

Supercharger is like Apple, and others are Android. You know Android will eventually catch up and surpass Apple. What I am concerned about is the increase in rates. It’s pretty bad when the cost starts to equal gas? This applies to both charging networks. I remember Tesla advertising that all...

My number two choice is the Porsche Taycan, and third is the Mercedes EQE (when it eventually arrives).

My next car will be an EV, but not Tesla. It’s not just Elon, (his latest bad tweet about an old guy attacked with a hammer is too much beyond the pale). It’s also the bad build quality. The bad service. The cheap interiors and ‘within spec’ joke of exterior ill fitting panels. Top choice right...

I agree, Tesla has a lot to improve.

I ordered mine in light maple. I got a tracking number almost immediately, along with the owner's email thanking me for the purchase. The shipment is in France right now, and I expect I will receive it by Friday. On a side note, before I discovered Hills Made, I embarked on a project to do...
