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

    I noticed that which makes me wonder, how much of the 20,000 were Teslas? I haven't seen any breakdown of the sales by make/model but my guess is that most of the sales were not Teslas. Does anybody have more info on that?

    Off topic galore

    I agree Cliff. I don't do it every day but I have plenty of experience driving in very tight roads in the cities and the countryside in Europe. My latest experience was in Cornwall, where, once off the A30 the very narrow roads and high hedgerows make for very interesting driving.

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

    I just returned from a large family gathering for a wedding. During lots interaction I sensed mostly positive to very positive reactions to Teslas and not so much for EVs in general. However, a few in attendance (definitely left leaning people) found every reason they could to be negative -...

    I am not a fan or critic of Troy but Interestingly, if you average his 10 forecasts, the number comes in at 422,600 - indeed very close to actuals.

    I agree Artful Dodger. unk45 - what would be the problem with enforcing a rule/law that requires ALL bonds evaluated on a mark-to-market basis for banks? Not just available for sale bonds. Would that encourage banks to manage interest rate risk better or would it be a disaster when the FED...

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

    I read that this morning. Such a naive and juvenile review of an event that shows how intent and focused, not just Elon but the entire leadership team, is on achieving their goals. To me the event was the epitome of capitalism, innovation and concentration on the mission. I fail to understand...

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

    I am one of those Rs. My reasons for buying a MY5LR: 1. I love the car! The smooth, quiet power and acceleration along with the high tech features - best I have ever driven. 2. I love efficiency and loathe wasteful, bloated, inefficient vehicles and organizations. Tesla is one of the most...

    Just a correction for newcomers: Tesla doesn't have a GF in Singapore. I believe that you meant Shanghai. Also, while I am not a manufacturing person, I think they would rather incorporate new efficiencies and improvements in the new GFs, believing that the advances would outweigh any...

    Thanks for this elasalle! Does anybody have a chart that compares Tesla inventory to the OEMs? I have to believe that the comparison would show Tesla with much lower numbers.

    Phantom braking in my new Model Y

    Thanks enemji. Your #2 certainly fits the instances of phantom braking that I experienced. And that is a problem that needs to be fixed.

    Then please sell your TSLA (if you have any) and cut ties with Tesla, TSLA andTMC. And forego the tremendous potential gains in the stock as the company plows forward through all the FUD.

    Maybe so, but I hate BIG OIL and my purchase of my MY is one small step in the direction of saying F OPEC and the rest of BIG OIL.

    Phantom braking in my new Model Y

    On a very recent road trip from Lodi to Boise, I experienced phantom braking 12 times - sometimes on full AP and sometimes only on TACC. The weird part is that it was on long stretches of I-80 from Truckee to Winnemucca and nothing out of the ordinary to cause it. Highway pavement and sage...

    Thank you Alphacrux for posting this. I found it very interesting and telling that the Toyota dealer in Florida drives an S Plaid! I wonder how many at non-Tesla manufacturers also drive Teslas?

    For me the status of 4680 production is very important. Would love to see concrete evidence of progress - with a chart/numbers of the progress so far and additional projections - for Kato Road, GigaTexas and GigaBerlin.

    "We'll call this the "**** @Aptera Amendment." I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this happen to Tesla once it is ready for implementation.

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

    I agree - still aways to go. A rise to that level seems possible based on the probable split announcement with a pause thereafter to form the handle. Or, it could just skip the handle.

    Tesla Wall connector commissioning issue

    I don't know, but I want to make sure that it is up-to-date. Perhaps the update I didn't get was critical and I would not have known about it. Well I have had the car over 2 months and it has not updated during that time. Am I being impatient when a process does not update in that period? I...

    Tesla Wall connector commissioning issue

    I tried it again after rebooting my iPhone and it worked! I got the {“success” : 0} from the updating process. Then I went back into the commissioning process and it showed I had the version 22.7.0. Thanks so much to nv30x6!!!

    Tesla Wall connector commissioning issue

    Because it doesn't update to the latest software version. Mine is on 21.36.5 and there is at least one more recent version: 22.70.0. It should update automatically. It doesn't and the process needs to be fixed.

    Tesla Wall connector commissioning issue

    nv30x6 - I must be a complete klutz. I downloaded that file, chose it and then hit UPLOAD. What I get next is an almost completely blank page with: {"error": -1}. This process is so much more involved that Tesla NEEDS to fix this soon. Any suggestions for what I do now? Thanks again!

    Tesla Wall connector commissioning issue

    Thank you Halldawg and nv30x6. Charging works fine. I am just trying to make sure the charger has the latest software in case an update becomes critical. nv30x6, I got to the Service screen with your suggestion. My question at this point is, which firmware file should I download and where do...

    Tesla Wall connector commissioning issue

    I have had a difficult time too - much like Halldawg. I have successfully maneuvered through the connection of the Wi-Fi (shows a connected green dot and check mark), the installation (shows max output: 48A) and the Access Controls (shows Allowed vehicles for charging: Only Tesla). I have done...

    Another reason for some optimism near the bottom: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/average-age-vehicles-us-increases-110000582.html In my opinion, a growing percentage of that pent-up demand will go to Tesla.

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

    I don't fit any of those categories. I am a 79 year old conservative who hates OPEC/Big Oil and loves efficiency. Where I live I used to rarely see Teslas. Now I see at least a few every time I drive around town.
