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

    If you really can't handle much volatility, your investing behaviour certainly doesn't seem to match your risk profile at all! I wish you well with it anyway. I'm far too dumb and don't have the stress tolerance to do anything other than buy and hold, lol! Been all in since January 2012, so...

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

    Man, You really don't seem to be getting this. Now is the time to buy more. I bought some last week at $185, and I'll admit, some more the week before at $220! Bet you think I'm a fool eh? ;) Well in my opinion that was a good price as well and I really don't care what happens over the next few...

    Europe and New Zealand will be getting it. No plans to sell it in the US unfortunately.

    Our useless government can't even manage to upgrade a railway line, I dread to think of the carnage if we were to switch over to driving on the right!

    As a "Brit" there is no Tesla model to suit me anymore, it's a shame. Doesn't look like we are ever going to get the Roadster in RHD form, which is what I'd really want, or the current S as a RHD either. This is really annoying! I'm just not into the other "everyman" family 3/Y models either, so...

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

    I'm not surprised, most here in the UK now can barely afford to pay Mortgages & Rents. They can often not afford to fund any sort of retirement provision either, so new cars are pretty far down the list! I get depressed thinking about the current younger generations, how awful life has got for...

    In nearly 3 years of driving an S now, only once did someone comment on it being a "nice car" as they passed and the kids never look either, miserable lot around here I think!

    I know long term we're just going to do great and as a very long term hodler, this doesn't phase me much anymore, but damn, sometimes I wonder if I should just sell up everything 2 days before each earnings day to rebuy the day after, I'd have made another fortune by now! (Until the first time I...

    It's easy to understand. It's the age old 20/80 rule. You can use it with almost everything in life and it works here very well also. 80% of people are pretty stupid, I know I'll get lots of disagrees for this, but it's just a fact. So it's not too difficult to manipulate a lot of this 80% to...

    I used to think the same as you, but was surprised to discover recently that chromed plastic parts are still actually real chrome as used on metal parts, prepared plastics are dipped and have the chrome surface applied in a similar way to metals. So they are still just as bad from an...

    Looks are always subjective of course, the 3&Y are excellent cars, looks aside.

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

    Ditch them? I really hope not, the 3&Y are just horrible looking, everyman cars. Of course as a shareholder I'm pleased about thier success and long may it continue and expand, but I certainly don't want to have to drive around in one of them!

    That one's an oldie. If I remember correctly it was done at 70mph with the bed fully loaded as well. The old cab forward VW Bus format may not be the safest, but even in a Cybertruck, I very much doubt you'd be getting out alive after hitting solid concrete at 70mph! What time tomorrow are we...

    Liftgate adjustment DIY info on 2023 refresh

    Excellent work. I did a similar job on mine, although it wasn't as badly aligned as yours to begin with. I also found I had to find a "happy medium" where the tailgate looked OK to the untrained eye but couldn't be made to fit perfectly all around as either it, or the car body around the rear...

    I think people misunderstand the difference between quality and a "premium, opulent, feel", especially with regard to interiors. Many German cars have a very premium feeling cabin compared with the more Spartan Tesla interiors. This doesn't mean the quality is better, but it is what many...

    As a work vehicle, pick up trucks are a terrible compromise. In 95% of use cases a panel van is a far more useful and appropriate vehicle for the job. US culture has ensured thier ongoing appeal, the rest of the world figured out the panel van thing a long time ago. ;) The few pick ups we do...

    Unless they make a separate version with a thin, soft front end, I don't see how it can pass EU pedestrian safety. US pick up trucks comply with heavy truck standards rather than passenger car standards as in the EU, That's my understanding anyway, happy to be corrected by anyone who knows better.

    I bought an S because I like large cars, and I love the styling far more than the 3 or Y. Its even wider than yours so I understand your point about our roads. Whereas most places are fine, shopping errands around our local town are a complete pain in the S (No pun intended). I solved the issue...

    Who knows? Knowing the way things went all of last year, great results will probably see us nosedive tomorrow! Or maybe it will be a wake up call and we shoot upwards. I'm hoping for the latter of course, but a drop is almost tradition now.

    The MG4 is a nice runabout. We looked at one. Reports so far are it's real world range is nothing like what's quoted, so it'll get nowhere close to your Tesla. It drives OK, but doesn't compare in any way to driving a Tesla, you'll notice a massive come down from a 3. It has a p**s poor...

    If we do cross 100, (and our intestines are in agreement!) I expect to see a very shocking crash to beyond what most think could happen, followed by an equally sharp snap back to just short of 100, which will then be acting as resistance. I'd like to think that good Q4 numbers and earnings will...

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

    I think this is going to continue for the rest of the week :( We might get some relief in the new year once we've heard the final numbers, but then again, they're no longer likely to be outstanding, just very good, so I can see this continuing until we're well sub $100. I wish us all well.

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

    It will indeed pass, but the usual suspects are going to have a field day with this in the very short term and TSLA is going to get clobbered. I never thought I'd be in this camp, but I'm seeing the horrible possibility of a 2 digit share price incoming. If Q4 is anything less than a stunning...

    Long, LONG time Tesla...analyst I guess at this point. AMA about what's going on in the news.

    You can't. The dip could be as we are right now, or anything down to $80, or maybe even lower, the market isn't a rational actor. Time, could be before a turn around at the end of next week, or the end of January, or even the end of next year!

    Wiki North America Touches Car Wash Options

    Excuse my ignorance, but how on earth does a touchless car wash work, especially on particularly dirty cars? I personally just old school wash mine, 2 bucket method following a thorough rinsing with pressure washer to remove all grit and heavy dirt. Finish with a towel dry.

    Elon & Twitter

    Current, as well as potential employees. I'd not be surprised to find the vast majority of Tesla employees (certainly the white collar ones) to be liberal or centrist in their thinking and "the mission" of Tesla being quite paramount as a reason for wanting to work there.

    For crying out loud, will it ever end? I'm beginning to think the board should just throw him out of Tesla altogether, he's such a toxic risk to the company now. :(

    Wheels - What's Slipstream, what's Cyclone?

    The two wheels mentioned are 19" options. For reference, there is also the 21" Turbine option, this often gets confused by some with the names of the other two as well, especially the cyclones.

    The Twitter takeover and now these polls are starting to look more and more like the script of an old British film, The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer, from 1970. With Elon playing the part of Rimmer who takes over a failing media business and then starts polling the general public on...

    I'm left leaning and don't like any of these current shenanigans much, but I think Elon is picking up more right wingers who are now coming to like the brand for the first time, than he is losing lefties. The far right love nothing more than "sticking it to the libtards" and will now be wanting...

    Actually it's not, at all. It would be if everyone on Twitter was contacted and made aware of the poll, preferably at least twice over a period of a day or two prior to the poll commencing. What it is now is a vote, mainly by Elon's followers, and a few others who have come across it. Nothing...

    I think these cretins are treating minor complaints of things like slight trim creaks or rattles, or a 1.5mm mis-alignment on your bonnet (hood) panel on a Tesla on a par with an ICE breaking down and refusing to move, or a transmission blowing up... :rolleyes:

    Looks nice, but $289,000 for a large garden shed? Seems a silly price to me, (locally that would buy a nice entry level 3 bedroom home!) similar here would be around £60,000 tops, but I'm a tight Yorkshireman, so might be out of touch with wealthy Californian expectations!
