What is the point of this thread? You know what, nevermind, I think I know the reason. Dan

I drove for 5 years using 120v plug. It's not ideal, but it is possible. Dan

Everybody's circumstances are different, but for us a 60 amp circuit is almost a requirement. We are a one car family and have little time between me getting home from work (3rd shift) and my wife going to work. We need to get as many electrons into the battery as we can as quickly as we can...

Thank you, this helps. I guess we just wait to hear from Tesla that they have filed with the IRS then? Dan

I thought that the EV tax credit towards taxes owed (as you point out) was being replaced with a point of sale discount that could be realized immediately. Am I way off on that? Dan

When does the tax credit become a point of sale deduction? Does that immediately come off the quoted price from Tesla? Not sure how that is going to work. Dan

FSD Even the way it is now, let alone when full autonomy is reached. Can't imagine driving a car without it.

From videos I've seen it looks like it's not much higher than a Model Y. Dan

Nope

I drive on roads like that every day. FSD does great. Dan

Unpopular opinion here but I have thought this for years. Model S and Model X are high end niche vehicles that have little impact on the company's bottom line. Their relevance to the company will continue to decline for the forseeable future. S and X may be thr flashy flagships, but Y and 3 are...

It only has 1 gear!

Single case anecdote here but I post it for reference. Count me as one of the people that uses FSDb WAY more thsn 90% of the time. Closer to 98%. Today is a great representation of why. I went to work this morning and my wife drove to Atlanta for a routine doctor appointment. (96 miles one way)...

It is truly amazing that we ALL so blatently and unapologetically chose to ignore the law in regards to speed limits. I'm no different, it is just amazing, when you think about it, that this has been allowed to become the accepted norm. Can you thimk of any oyher law that is so universally...

I have been driving my Model 3 with FSD Beta for 5 years now! Incredible vehicle, we love it. Can't wait to trade it in for our Cybertruck in the not too distant future. Can't see myself driving anything but a Tesla! Dan

Well, like I said, everone is entitled to their opinion. Dan

God help us NO! Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I really wish people would stop trying to make Cybertruck look like the same old thing that's been on the market for tye last 50 years. Cybertruck was unappolagetically designed from the start to buck the trends in truck...

What's the point of your link?

...and yet the fundamentals of the company has never been stronger. It's long term success has never looked brighter. Elon is not allowed an opinion? Elon is not allowed to pursue his goals and desires? Elon is not allowed to express his beliefs whether personal or political? Sounds pretty...

Well...Georgia is looking pretty good right now. I've got them a lock for the natiobal championship. Thoughts? /s Dan

I named my Model 3 Patience because that is what she taught me after a nearly 3 year wait. It's Tesla. It's a brand new product. It will be well worth it in the end. Dan

In all honesty, your 3 year estimate might be fairly accurate. Dan

Model S and X are incosiquential to Tesla sales and revenue numbers at this point in my opinion. Yes, they are probably the highest margin vehicles in the Tesla lineup be their numbers are so small as to be almost irrelevant to Tesla's success. Berlin and Austin are still in the very early...

That's an easy one....don't buy it. Done Dan

Reading some of these comments, sometimes I think I am the only one that sees FSD as more than just a fun toy to show off to your friends and impress your neighbors. This thing is life changing. It will open up mobility to huge portions of the population that have had their independence taken...

If you are blind, or handicapped, or elderly and not able to drive, this is a no brainer decision...to the opposite. Dan

Funny how this thread is so full of people who "know" that things will be one way or another. Bottom line nobody "knows" anything at this point, one way or the other. We are all just going to have to wait and see. Dan

Tesla will sell every Cybertruck they can make, just like they sold every car they have ever made. Demand has never been, is not now, and will not be for the foreseeable future any sort of problem. Period. Dan

...or, they could be innovating at such a rate as to justify the upgrades, thus furthering the distance between themselves and their already nonexistent competition. But hey, what do I know. 😉 Dan

Do you know the setup they used to connect your charger? Mine is on a 60 amp INDEPENDENT circuit. I think the independent part might be important. Perhaps the charger does not play well with other things wired to the same circuit? Dan

Curious to get everyone's opinions as to whether the P&D Q2 numbers will have a positive or negative impact on the short term stock price. Will they be taken in context of Shanghai shutdown or at face value? Knowing how fickle the market is I can see it going either way. Dan

While Elon's political views and sympathies probably don't belong on this thread, I do think it is important to state that while Elon's particular views have remained fairly consistent over time (in my view), both Republican and Democratic impressions of his views have swung with whatever the...

Nothing is changing. Elon is the same as he has always been. If society's definition of left and rught has shifted beneath him that is not his responsibility. Dan

Uhhh...nope. Gotta disagree here. A happy and challenged Elon is best for TSLA shareholders, and a busy Elon is a happy Elon. Dan

Can you define "radical free speach" for me? Dan

For me, options are like cryptocurrency. I don't understand it, so I'm staying the hell away from it. Just my $.02. Dan

Or perhaps he wants to do positive things in situations he feels are injust or negative towards the common human good and doesn't care who he pisses off, what his financial burden may be, nor what the short term ramifications may be. It's his money, and neither you nor I nor anyone else has a...

So, with all the various discussions on here lately what is the general consensus regarding the stock plunge? Is this purely macro driven or is there something negative specific to Tesla I missed? Dan

Get 'em while they're hot! Picked up 4 more shares at $905. Should have waited a bit longer but I'm good with that sale price. These prices are crazy. Like taking candy from a baby. Just buy and hold. Simple! Dan

The market is supposed to be forward looking, right? Or did I miss something? Two new factories now open. Cost set to greatly decrease with structural pack, 4680s, manufacturing on 3 continents, less shipping costs, the list goes on and on. Yeah, that forward thinking justifies a 3% drop in...

I have held TSLA for many years and I am well aware of how the market works but it is still amazing to me that the movers manage to push the stock down right before an event that is sure to provide evidence of the company's growth, innovation and resilience. It's almost as if they know what's...

There have been plenty of invites sent out. Just check Twitter. All the big Tesla bull influencers have theirs. Dan

40%? Why so bearish? Dan

What is the general opinion as to how the market is going to respond to Berlin coming online this week? Some very good points made by Lars in this video. Dan

Because it is getting increasingly difficult to find people willing to do that job...and forget $10/hour. You would have to pay at least $15, plus incentives, insurance, benefits, etc. Dan

Honestly, it is a bit unnerving initially. After a few days you learn where potential problems might be for the system. It is a learning process, but knowing that you are a very small part of making the system better is very gratifying. This is completely new territory and progess, or lack...

Just an FYI...I drive FSD Beta every day. In my opinion, people spend an inordinate amount if time focusing on what it can't do and precious little on what it can do. No, it is not ready for wide spread release nor Level 5 status. That said, it is correct and safe 99% of the time. In fact, it...

I remember the days a few years back when all the market cared about was fundamentals. 'Tesla can't make a profit." "Tesla is a cash burning machine." Funny how now they could care less that Tesla has grown into a cash making machine. Their fundamentals are damn near flawless and the stuff...

Geeze...I almost forgot about those. Seriously, totally forgot those were actually a talking point not long ago. 🤣🤣🤣 Dan

...combined! Dan
