    Dawson Creek Supercharger

    Update: Plugshare now shows BC hydro locations Fast chargers for multiple locations on the Alaska highway and the Highway 37. So most probably these chargers are going to be free ( due to lack of internet ) and you can basically a drive to Alaska for free as Yukon fast chargers also free...

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

    I expect 7 to 10 millions pre-orders for new NGV globally within the first month of unveil. $700 million to $1 billion in interest free money to Tesla - enough to set up trial line at Texas.

    Dawson Creek Supercharger

    Dawson Creek is at # 12 on 2023 Q1 polls. I didn’t expect so much support for a supercharger so high in the north. Is tesla finally going to realize that Alaska highway supercharging is something that many ppl want ? As of now the gap is nearly 850 kms between Mile 80 Rest area ( a new BC hydro...

    Vehicle Charging from Calgary or Banff to Yellowknife

    We just left Yellowknife today after driving our Model Y up from Vancouver. There are a couple superchargers along the way from Edmonton and quite a few fast chargers. We used the PlugShare app to find all the chargers along the way. For the stretch from Hay River to Yellowknife, we drove 80km/h...

    This maybe a cliched statement - repeated many times by Elon FSD is not just a feature for a car, it’s a fundamental change in meaning of car as we know now. Selling FSD would mean taking liability of all accidents the software gets into ( whenever the software is approved). Why will Tesla such...

    2014 style oil price war is coming soon. Basically, Saudis - when they see the North American producers gaining market share, they start panicking and flood the market with oil supply to crush prices. Now situation is even more complex than 2014, there are fears of recession and exponential...

    FSD discussion

    We both are saying the same thing. Right now the state of FSD is exactly as you have mentioned in your first paragraph. Vast majority of people view it as an extra expense and not worth paying and that’s why there is no significant adoption among the buyers. As a result, investors are not...

    To add more evidence to this, in this Earnings call, there was a specific institutional investor question asking for current adoption rate of FSD. Basically, investors are looking for clues if there is any evidence of Musk’s prediction of Tesla making profits on FSD or if people are ready for...

    I do think Market will basically front run earnings from FSD which will dwarf all the above factors. FSD should become very compelling by 2024 - just in time with all the factors you have mentioned start to become significant as well. FSD is important primarily because market will be convinced...

    Tesla like always will move in steps - Rapid jump in a small amounts of time and trading in a range for a few years. The next step change will be market pricing in FSD and another step change after that is Tesla Bot. If you look at valuation now, we are approximately at 500 billion. TSLA went...

    FSD discussion

    FSD is actually massively better compared to last 12 months. Today, it did a drive - no intervention from my home to a lab (20 kms highway and busy city)with complicated city driving. My Tesla did a right overtake on a car waiting on left turn as we were supposed to go straight. LOL … It...

    I am going by Elons prediction that bot will be priced as much as a small car. My timelines for this is more like 2040 and 25k then is probably worth 15- 20k today and inflation on top. However, lower priced bot will only attract more demand. There is also potential for some sort recurring...

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

    On the investor day, Elon said every human will need a bot. So 8 billion * 25k = 200 trillion addressable market. Assume Tesla gets 20% - 40 trillion. Bot replaced every 4 years. 10 trillion sales - 30% earnings - 3 trillion earnings. 20 PE equals to 60 trillion market cap.

    The price action reminds me early 2019 when Tesla missed deliveries due to bad logistics to Europe.

    I know that some ppl are calling for Elon to resign etc. However, Wall Street only cares about earnings. If we trace back from stock price, Market is pricing 0 earnings growth for 22. So let’s go with that assumption. Tesla will make $4.5 EPS in 22 with 1.3 million deliveries. assuming 2...

    If anyone claims that Tesla Semi is fraud, throw these numbers on their barn shaped face. Summary: Battery pack as per calculations: 865 KwH. Close to 900 KwH as per rumours. Numbers Elon explained are completely possible. Semi going down a 5% gradient from 5000 feet will generate enough...

    It’s pretty amazing that some of ppl here think just because Elon owns the shares, the market is going to pay a premium. There is nothing in finance that says “oh we have to pay a 20% premium just because someone owns this much part of shares”. Teslas market cap will be the same irrespective of...

    Interior Trunk Door Light Toggle

    One way to turn off the light is to poke a metal inside the trunk latch assembly. Basically, the latch will "Think" that it has hit the metal ring on the trunk floor and initiate the lock. As a result, the light will be automatically turned off. I have tried this and works well. To Turn "On" the...

    In this case, you are considering the higher adoption of FSD ? By end of 2024, we will have nearly 10 million HW 3 cars on the road and FSD will be mature enough that most people will opt for FSD. Let’s assume 50% adoption to be conservative and FSD being priced 20k as upfront 25% opting for...
