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

    I am just above the 1/2 million mark now also! Started buying 3 shares a month 3 years ago after taking a Model S on a test drive while visiting a Tesla Dealer on a trip. So glad I stayed in and didn't bail to buy a Model 3 as planned when it hit $500 a share...pre-split. Lost job due to COVID...

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

    I never meant the individual car. I still believe that once the training labels road debris as a non-drivable area and it's uploaded to the fleet the problem will be solved. If you can see it and the cameras can see it FSD will solve it at some point in the future (be it the HQ computer then)...

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

    The AI for Tesla's FSD is trained every time you disengage...If the cameras can see it, eventually it will learn to avoid it also. I thought there was a Tweet about avoiding potholes also and Musk said it will learn that also at some point. Speed bumps will need to be learned also.

    Tax discussion, strategies and questions

    Yes for living expenses and to get into TSLA before the next explosion in stock price. Probably make sense to roll into an IRA and forgo the tax hit, but having the extra money to withdraw anytime rather than wait 5 years and pay a penalty from the IRA looks good also. I'm 49 also.

    Tax discussion, strategies and questions

    Job ending after 22 years do to Covid next month. Getting a severance package and paid for unused vacation time that could extend after the 39 week unemployment ends out to maybe almost another year. Already have 96 shares of TSLA at 400% gain. Its outperforming my 401k by miles. Completely...

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

    I did end up selling 35 shares, hated doing it, but hated not doing it more when it was higher. I have 69 left...I should have done this before and I'd have all my of my initial investment back, then "losing" a huge amount short term wouldn't be so bad. I'm not rich and have been buying a few...

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

    I don't know, I am really regretting not selling some when it was at 900-800. I have 104 shares at a price of 270. With everything going as it is, wouldn't you think a price of 350 is in the cards short term? Holy crap, I could have almost doubled my position had I seen this coming. Do I hold...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    This brings me to my question. I'm just a normal blue collar worker, I don't do any trading, shorting, leaping etc. But I do own 73 shares of TSLA that I have been buying over the last 2 years. I saved and not done other things, but instead decided I would buy a few TSLA shares every month. I'm...

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Scary times...on another note wasn't there suppose to be an announcement soon by Elon Musk? Wouldn't there be a big bump if Tesla got the storage contract to Australia?

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    I got in around June last year, trying to buy on the low dips. Watch this forum and the market but am by no means a regular trader. I've been putting in $500 to $600 monthly aside for a couple of bigger purchases. Using this as a fund for my Model 3 as are a lot of others. Would a sell-off from...

    Another discussion about EVs as they compare to ICEVs

    Maybe the car is driving and/or they are not worried about speed.

    Tesla "taxi" video

    I guess I named the thread wrong...I know it wasn't from Tesla, just thought the idea was neat. Personally, I have no idea how the ride network will work, I am curious though since I a thinking of getting the full autonomous version of Model 3 depending on what options come in at price wise...

    Tesla "taxi" video

    How do you think they will make it work then? I'm sure it won't be just like this video, but to completely dismiss all of it? I thought it was kinda neat to think they could have something like that on the windows.

    Solar Roof Option

    Clear solar panels are a possibility... Fully transparent solar cell could make every window in your house a power source and Revolutionary new solar windows could generate 50 times more power than conventional photovoltaics

    Tesla ride sharing Network question...

    I wonder if self-driving and the Tesla network would be available in Central MN when it gets the OK. Unlike Uber which only is available in bigger cities in MN now. Would smaller cities ban the use of Tesla ride sharing to protect city/county bus services? Would you have to get special high cost...

    Another Bonus from Tesla's Stepped-up Model 3 Production Schedule

    I have been thinking of this also. But if I adjusted for next year, 2017 taxes, and the car didn't come until early 2018 I'd be paying my taxes bigtime come filing 2017. Although, I would theatrically have the money to pay them already in the bank if I didn't sign the purchase agreement in 2017...

    Another Bonus from Tesla's Stepped-up Model 3 Production Schedule

    NonTesla owner living in MN, I reserved on 4/31/2016 online just before the show started. From everything I read and hear I'm planning on a Aprilish 2018 date for myself. Going on the assumption that Tesla won't want to have a bunch of newbie drivers saying their 215 mile range car isn't getting...
