I'll be interested to hear about people's FSD 12x experiences here in the Northeast. I can imagine finding FSD having a harder time here. The insane street geographies of Boston, the winters, the constant road construction, terrible drivers, potholes, etc. I spent three months with my MYLR in...

The ghost in the machine...?

Yes. It would be nice if they would get on with it.

Now, this post, and others like it are why I continue to participate in this forum. thank you GigaPress!

THIS! My MY purchase in '22 was a stressful mess. Glitches ordering on-line, Questions, but couldn't get a return call/email, always speaking to a different person, no follow-up, and on pick-up day a similar experience, with my insurance incomplete, and no notification before I showed up. It...

More cowbell.

Sorry, but look at the title of the survey you cite: "The Most Famous Business Figures (Q4 2023)". These are not approval ratings. Yes Elon is very famous. But, increasingly, for what? My unscientific view, based on my own experience is that people in my acquaintance are polarized against Elon...

I wonder if the cameras incorporate polarizing filters to attenuate glare?

I think the lack of quality iPhone and Android integration is without doubt keeping some people from buying a Tesla. No actual evidence, but it sure irritates the heck out of me!

Agree--sounds very good. I'm also stunned that, with a big, beautiful screen in every car, Tesla has not made an orientation/tutorial INTERACTIVE video to be watched and followed along by every purchaser at pick-up. I know about the set of short introductory videos to watch that one can find on...

Why stop there? Ever see the movie "Fantastic Voyage"?

I stopped listening to that pathetic bunch when SVB went belly up and the former "get government off our backs" gang went wailing like terrified lambs for a Government bailout. Disgusting.

I'm afraid I agree with much of this analysis. Leaving the categories of affordable cars, light trucks, semi trucks unfilled and available to Chinese and other competitors to catch up and address, and the lack of meaningful advertising these last 2-3 years has been a big own-goal. What unk45 has...

2024--the year of Less iffy!

I agree. I finally bit the bullet and sold my long-held Nio and Xpeng for year end losses needed to offset gains--a failed experiment. Too soon? Watch them zoom up now! I've been into BYD in a tentative way for a year or so, nowhere early enough, but it seems clear to me that they are the...

Also--they're not red! Inconcieveable!

Agreed. Concerning, and it seems not rational that there is no place where we can discuss this issue. Some of us, as investors, are concerned about it.

Actually, to correct the record, my wife points out that she saw it first, then pointed it out to me. Then I saw it.

We live in the Northeast, and love everything about our model Y except the suspension, which handles our usually under construction, pot-holed roads very poorly. I'm weary of the constant side to side whipsawing, though good foe building up core muscles!:oops:. However--we drove it out to LA...

In LA, driving down Sunset Blvd this AM, and caught sight of a Cybertruck waiting at a light. Exciting!

My impression is that tomorrow when people should be talking about Cybertruck, they'll be talking about the dealbook interview. Sound familiar? Seems to happen every quarter now at the meeting. Out of control, and burying the lede. Increasingly concerning behavior, speaking as an investor. Just...

Kow-tow.

We'll know that production equipment is being ramped up for the CT's stainless body panel production when Joe's site videos start showing us recycling bins full of cast-offs that are a result of the production tuning up process.

I agree. At least a prominent, readable "Powered by Tesla" should be incorporated into the graphics on the charger facing the user.

Unless you're going for the weathered, stained & smudged desert rat look, I would suggest that a clear wrap will be essential to keep the "stainless" (not) clean, cleanable, unsmudged, and lookin' good..

From the WSJ article: "Fain this past week sounded annoyed when asked about Tesla’s cost advantage. “Competition is code word for race to the bottom, and I’m not concerned about Elon Musk building more rocket ships so he can fly in outer space and stuff,” Fain told CNBC on-air Wednesday." If...

Thanks for the tips!

Touché! Well played!

Within the timeframe of months to years (not decades) following the advent of actual FSD, the production of Tesla-bots, and Robo-taxi. As a well-known-to-us expert in FSD completion timing has had to...recalculate...several times, I probably can't be more accurate than that!

The people are the problem. Hmm. Have you or anyone else figured out what all these "people" , drivers, and all of the tens of millions suddenly out of work because of bots, robo- taxis, robo-trucks, robo-everything else will do for a living? Five years ago, hearing about all of these...

Ok--no takers. Well, we decided to drive! Any thoughts about a Boston to LA drive in mid-September? Recommended routes, hotels, superchargers? It's not a sightseeing trip, but more of a get there quick-ish and maybe drive through some beautiful scenery. Thanks in advance!

Hi, My wife and I will drive from Boston to LA in a couple weeks, looks like following much the same E-W route as the upper one shown on your map. It's our first really long distance trip, and will be done without too much sightseeing as we need to be there by a certain date. We'll overnight...

Curious--why is that?

We've been hearing for years that when auto battery packs are n o longer serviceable for cars, they could be repackaged to provide general energy storage--for homes for example. might this be an alternative to "grind-up" recycling?

Yes, and let's not forget setting the world irrevocably on the path to EV's, sustainable energy generation and storage pretty much singlehandedly, against all odds and the combined might of the fossil fuel and extractive entities. That's all. Might that be worth a mention, Mr. Farrow?

Agreed. In three or so years the Tesla $25,000 car will cost $16,500 with the gov't rebate. And will feature the best charging network in North America. Can you spell tsunami? Exciting!

I would not characterize 2019 as early adopters, unfortunately. The results are clear, and unsuprising.

No, I'm pretty sure she sent a FAX.

That thing is built like a tank! Drive it off a cliff, and drive it away at the bottom.

Hmm... Was it ever really "fine" to call somebody "fat"? No, actually, it has always been cruel, and unnecessary.

Hi all, I'm shipping my MY from the Boston area to LA for a few months, then back. Can anyone recommend reliable carriers that will do this? I'm also wondering about enclosed vs uncovered trailers, and any other advice you might add. Thanks!

I think he's really saying is that when prospective buyers of a Tesla who have gotten used to having such valueble features as 360 degree view, L&R-rear side cross-traffic warnings when backing up, etc., test drive a Tesla and find them missing, they will give it a pass and keep looking for...

I absolutely agree. Seems they decided to scrape off all the weird Darth Vader spindle-grilles, fake brake ducts and other accretions and go with some non-offensive sheet metal. Maybe they will sell some...

Let's not forget that Toyota has for a long time now been dedicated to making the wold's ugliest cars. That will require a sea-change in direction, too.

They can speed up the video.

When FSD becomes a reality, I think Tesla will not license it for a period of years to reap maximum value as a unique attribute of Tesla vehicles. Then, maybe a license to other OEM's. As with the Ford supercharger deal, OEM's will need to update their cars hardware (camera/sensor suite) and...

Molly Roberts offers this observation in today's Post. It could explain a lot: "DeSantis and Musk, put simply, are betting on each other. DeSantis needs to create his own version of the Fox News audience that so loves his rival. Musk wants to turn his platform into his own version of Fox News...

Seven months ago I had a wait-and-see attitude about the Twitter takeover, even though worried about Elon's share sales and the tanking of Tesla's share price. Seven months later (seems like seven years!), Twitter is overwhelmed by hate speech of every type. Tesla share price has not recovered...

Is that the same "get the government boot off our backs" who went ballistic, crying for a bailout when SVBank went belly up, and he and his whining pals were going to loose some dough? What a tool!

Calling other forum members liars is not acceptable behavior. Let your ideas stand or fall on their own merit. No need to be so unpleasant. Mods, are there rules for this?
