Ha ha. I hadn't even noticed. Right. Yup the thread came up in a search result. What I found last night after I pulled into my garage was a very fine trail of fine dirt left by the car. No doubt because I drove several miles last night over a dry dirt road. The trail looks like what you might...

Hello. I've got a '23 M3P. I recently had a flat fixed at Schwab and had reason to believe that the lift was done incorrectly, so I took a peak at the underside when I got home. I found what appeared to be two popped plastic pins at the front of the (plastic) rear motor cover where it interfaces...

I've been following TSLA and SpaceX since 2013. I've never seen a bump in the stock that could in any way be associated with a successful SpaceX launch or landing, including the very first successful F9 landing on a drone ship. Sure, a successful integrated Starship flight will be huge for...

what's with the SP nosedive just now?

Most have prolly noticed by now, but us in the cheap seats using marketwatch to track the stock: that baby is waaay on the fritz, and rather maliciously in fact. Keeps taunting me with 309+ from an 2hrs or so back. Bad marketwatch.

I haven't seen this new Elon interview from Norway posted yet. Apologies if this is redundant.

Yup. I never set out on a road trip without the mobile connector, although, the only bit that I have ever needed (in an unplanned charging situation) is the J1772 adapter. When I've actually used it, the alternative would have been being stranded somewhere.

If we are talking about 3 flashing reds on a Gen 2 Mobile Connector this just may be the most helpful post yet in this thread. Thank you!

Right. Got it. Thanks for sharing, Elon. ☹️

I'll be very interested to hear what your electrician finds. Let me know, eh? Thanks!

It's actually going on three years now since I encountered this problem and I see that I never posted the followup. In short, we never did figure out the problem. After a number of unhelpful calls to Tesla Service someone pointed out a phone number dedicated to charging issues. A call to that...

I don't know. It seems to me that a better way to tax unrealized gains would be to tax loans that are taken out against unrealized gains. It might not generate as much revenue from a few billionaires in a single pop, but it would probably get a lot more wealthy individuals paying their fair...

After a day of "sporty" driving out in the "rur" of the Palouse, the score finally showed up. 93, dinged for "agressive turning". I'm gonna have to up my game. I know I can be more agressive than that : /

Another data point: I've got the latest ios app download and still no safety score, but the FSD button presented in the car and clicking it gave me the "in the queue" response, so pretty sure that the vehicle and/or mothership knows the score and the info displayed on the app is just informational.

Breaking news: Elon had an aneurysm !

My thought as well. Whether positive or negative for Tesla, we need to know the facts, and that will take some time. Hopefully a few of those fancy homes have NEST cams (or whatever they're called) that will help determine exactly what happened.

Ok so we should expect the sp to rise about 5x in the next few days leading up to the stock split, right? And it's tax free. Awesome, I think I got it. Thanks for all the help everybody. But who is Timmy?

Yes. A share of stock is literally a fraction of the (perceived) value of the company. That underlying value comes from physical assets (real estate and machines), and data and organization and workers. If they turn on the machines then there's value from the goods produced, and an operating...

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

WTF? If no news, is this a leak?

After hours TSLA price move doesn't appear to be shared by the broader market. (I don't see a similar after-hours move in FANG anyway.) Edit: I do see that futures are up though.

Yeah. In a pre-tax ESOP with options and multi-year vesting periods.

These EOQ dashes for "victory" are great for the occasional pop in share price. Not complaining. But it's hard to imagine that these end of qtr games don't take a toll. If the goal is the build-out of sustainable high-volume, high-quality manufacturing output with low defect rates, these seem...

Don't you mean "Another truck was half Tesla's half <sugar>"? cheers

OT I would prefer an "off" setting. No map no nothing.

That's a lot of people learning how not to close the damn frunk lid on a 3 or Y. Step away from my car please, Jay. Thank you!

What's with the late after hours surge? Futures?

Hmm. FYI, Sometimes I get several versions of the ARK daily trades in a single day due to missing data. Today I only got one and it is a bit longer than the one you posted, Curt. This one does in fact show that they sold some TSLA from ARKW. Copied from an e-mail I got at 3:14pm PDT: Latest...

Courtesy of Labpadre. I think you may be looking at that lil dip in the share price right about then. Edit: Or not. Looks like the Nasdaq took a dive at around the same time. Honostly, I've never seen a spaceX event, positive or negative, affect TSLA share price much. SpaceX blows stuff up all...

Starship SN4 just blowed up after a static fire. Here's the livestream link. event after 1:48 local time. This is definately going to give folks something new to talk about during tomorrow morning's launch...

Triad business leaders fly banner over Tesla headquarters to lure company to the Greensboro Randolph megasite

EPA staff warned that mileage rollbacks had flaws. Trump officials ignored them. Well s*&t my pants. I am shocked. Shocked I tell you...

Yes, would be cool if it's Starlink-based wi-fi. But another possibility is that it has something to do with Tesla's recent filing regarding becoming an electric utility in the UK (too lazy to go look it up). Could be infrastructure for wireless comms with the Powerpacks that appear to also be...

Yeah. No. It's all nice and stupid like we all like our bobby boy, but it's a repost of an interview from last Nov (at least). So it's old stupid. You know, when the Tesla landscape was completely THE SAME. Source link, but no need to click. Trust me.

And again reiterated: No green light for Tesla from Alameda Cty

I would expect some communication from Tesla to workforce regarding a back to work date. As yet we've seen none, correct?

Good to know about Newsom. I don't envy anyone in elected office right now. Tough decisions, going to be unhappy people no matter how you slice it, and certainly a very unexpected set of circumstances. Overall I think Inslee has done a really great job in WA. He's made some very unpopular moves...

It's true, and herein lies the most negative aspect of Elon's recent, "PR" campaign. Some here view his recent tweet storms as 4D chess. Maybe. I sincerely hope that behind the scenes Tesla is mounting a vigorous campaign with state and county officials to negotiate a factory restart ASAP. But...

Ok now I get it. Listening to NPR. Top story: US senate to reconvene, but they're not gonna wear masks. Works for me. I hope there's a lot of good ol boy double handshakin goin on. And spray it don't say it. /rant over

hmm up more than 4%. Because Elon is distracted this morning?

Only because it is the weekend... No it is not a straw man arguement. There is an entire range of measures that could have been implemented to address the pandemic. For example the shutdown could have been done on an entirely voluntary basis, accompanied by an agressive pr campaign to encourage...

Seriously. A dozen posts. 3 of them of the "good riddance" form. And the last one directed at Curt. Someone please get this A hole out of here. Thanks much.

Agreed. This is the topic that has been occupying his public comms for several days. It is difficult to come to any other conclusion if you heard his comments the other day on the call re product line start-up times are decreasing with each iteration, achieving profitability sooner with each...

I bought the dip. Thank you Elon, and good luck with the baby. Re "hurting the employees" as someone mentioned above, I'm not so sure about that. I don't know how it works at Tesla, but with the ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) where I last worked, employees would be granted some number of...

the end

I dont know. I think maybe someone needs to disrupt the bullsh$t ER-call musak business.

It is called Starship and they are going to fly it to Mars. Each of the last several prototypes have had two 100kWh battery packs welded to the top bullkhead. Several have also had what appear to be Model S motors mounted on the side. Image credit: bocachicagal, NASASpaceflight.com

ps: Would love another buying opportunity before ER and battery day and stop signs.

Hoo cares. I just want to talk about why Tesla doesn't spend a bunch of $$$ on a bunch of F$g advertising that wont do a damn thing. The cars sell themselves and they sell every one they make. Will continue to do so for years. Enough already. Geezus. Sorry Ludicrous One.
