Congratulations, I sense your glee and celebration! To whatever extent you contributed to this, BRAVO, well deserved! And thanks for rejoining us here in this little wondersphere!

My "sources" tell me there's a Tesla Trunk Monkey being developed that will cure that behavior very quickly;

But... in this lifetime, right?

"It is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission"

and... how does someone program both sets of key cards together? Thx

For our '21 Model Y, full coverage insurance through Allstate here in AZ is $1428 a year. Seems pretty reasonable to me... Appears that insurance rates vary greatly from state to state, and person to person.

One of my most favorite quotes, ever!

Thanks. Sounds like that means that TSLA is entirely entitled to profit making from any AI advancements in the years to come. As are we. Recent advancements, including OpenAI's SoraAI achievements, could be huge for TSLA shareholders. (Edit; what Open AI achieves, TSLA will achieve, in time...

CNN: Elon Musk sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman for breach of contract This revolves around the point that OpenAI has gone from non-profit status to a profit making entity. I'm wondering if this means that Musk has no intentions of profit goals from any of Tesla's AI endeavors; Optimus Bot...

AH Off Topic, but an interesting alternative option to wrapping your Cybertruck; Just wait, we will be seeing this happen. Truck tattoo anyone? :cool: Couldn't do this to any other vehicle by the way, so, exclusive!

I don't think there's any logic to TSLA stock price movements anymore. I really don't. Not that there ever was, btw. I just pay attention to the plusses and minuses that the company has going for it. As usual, maybe 90% plusses, and 10% minuses. I'm vigilant to the real happenings within this...

My guess is; less shuttle bus transport of employees needed, including the time wasted waiting for shuttle, and shuttle time itself. Also; covered parking in the hot Texas summer would be most welcomed by those parking under shelter. Parking garage absolutely a good move. Happy workers = happy...

"It's BYD's World, and Tesla is Just Trying to Hold On, Experts Say.." :rolleyes: No, I won't post the link. Either they don't get it, or are just taking any imaginable way they can to poo-poo Tesla. ANY EV sale takes away from ICE sales, not other EV maker's sales. Capishe?

Seems to have worked for APPL; https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/30/apple-now-has-210point6-billion-in-cash-on-hand.html

The thing that really got my goat about the text size recall, was Tesla being required to send out paper mail to owners, notifying us of the "recall", and then telling us there was nothing to do about it because it has already been fixed via an over the air update! What a waste of time and...

I like it. Hot dipped galvanized (Zinc coated) steel can be slow cooled to produce gorgeous crystals, as in these photos. No two alike, like snowflakes. The zinc can eventually wear off with time (like paint for example), but over steel provides a robust barrier to rust and corrosion.

2 years and 3 months ago, we were at our ATH. Remember? Yes, I thought so. We will see that SP again, and more dear people. Q: How far has Tesla the company come in that time? A: Very FAR! I don't have time right now to elaborate, but then again, I don't think that's really necessary. Do...

Magnetism. People are so drawn to the Cybertruck when they see it that they subconsciously worry that it might just have some kind of magnetic tractor beam that won't let go. Which in a way is true. ;) I say this because that's what happened to me. o_O

In years past, @gene has shared a few off road videos driving 4X4 pick-ups with friends through the deserts and mountains of So. California, including Death Valley IIRC. With any luck, maybe he'll revisit some of these places in his new CT, and give us a report, as time allows? We'll be...

We installed a 7.4kWh rooftop solar array around 14 years ago. At this time it has totally paid for itself. Today's solar panels have more than doubled their output production for the same footprint and cost. Inverters are far superior to the ones we had to choose from. That doesn't matter to...

Elon often mentions Physics' "First Principles Rule". Mankind; "That's impossible!" Elon, seeing that the problem is actually a possibility, according to the laws of physics; "This may take awhile, but HOLD MY BEER!"

GM Management; "Yeah, us too (can't we just keep making ICE vehicles, PLEASE?) 🥹:confused: I has become abundantly clear that legacy auto really, really, REALLY doesn't want to transition to EVs.

Elon has expressed great displeasure over Open AI being created as a positive contribution to the world's future, and then watching it being turned into a profit making mission goal. When pressure for profit becomes the motive, products can be pushed to market before they're proven safe, for the...

Normally it wouldn't matter even if there were no Teslas involved; the media just likes to add the word Tesla to their headlines to get clicks.

Amazing. I just saw a Fox/Business headline stating that Hertz was "Selling 20,000 Electric Vehicles From Its U.S. Fleet", and not a mention of the word TESLA! o_O

Well... did you? ;)

This looks an awful lot like the Costco statement to its employees after they unionized. The difference being the word IF. "The fact that a majority of Norfolk employees felt that they wanted or needed a union constitutes a failure on our part." Costco

Weekend OT; just saw this and highly recommend it! This one will get a lot of eyeballs and good reviews. Ford F350 owner gets to drive it, and is greatly impressed. They tow an electric Brawley while it's in regen, and report that it doesn't feel like they're towing anything! The Cybertruck is...

I'm sure you could offer some accountant jokes to make up for it. But then again; let's not go down that road. "How many VW engineers does it take to change a light bulb? "None, they refuse to see the light" 😉

Oh come on SOULPEDL, you can do it! Imagine how popular you'd be here in AZ giving all us other TMC members a ride in your new Founder's Edition CT! I'll even let Bandit sit on my lap! PLEASE!!! ;)🥲:) Seriously, I can't wait to ride in/drive a CT, but will def wait for prices to come down, and...

RN112788...

Didn't think my reservation was that far forward, but I've received an invitation to go ahead and order. :oops:o_O Not quite ready to pull the trigger this early on though... so will hold off. :(:rolleyes: I wonder how many others are doing the same?

Ahem. So you're saying "Things are not always the way they appear"? 😣

Darien Gap Norte? OT: My dad helped build the Trans-Alaska Highway just after returning from the Pacific front in WWII. I've always wanted to travel it to AK, but haven't as yet done so. Would be nice to make it an electric road trip in our CT though. Not sure that'll happen in my lifetime...

You... are clearly not in Arizona. And please; do not attempt this. Your entertaining presence on this forum would be dearly missed. ;)

Only after Audi reports proof of success. Pics, or it didn't happen. ;)

I'm not understanding why anyone would want/need to add a snowplow onto the front of their Cybertruck. The thing's a tank, and bulletproof. Just use it as a snowplow as is from the factory, and ram your way through! Snow too high to plow? CT becomes a tunnel boring machine. :cool: :rolleyes:;)...

Phantom braking. Still a plague and long overdue to see a fix. Otherwise, sure, proceed with fart-foolery, etc. :rolleyes:

Wow. Dude! I wish I were you! :oops:

Hey, sometimes we do what we gotta do to get down the road, or back to where we started. Survival is key to watching the next day's SP you know! ;)

I've thought of this solution too. Although I hate to go the wrong direction, and buy another gas drinking device, it could definitely solve that problem, until a real portable battery supply solution comes along. I'd especially be okay with it if it was a rare occasion, and it wouldn't hurt to...

I don't know, but I was told it'll be 2 weeks for ours... /s ;) I'm sure that many of us have come to be pretty skeptical regarding Tesla delivery times... That being said, I think it would be prudent to be ready to act when the invitation to place an actual order is received. By that I mean...

That $100 deposit of mine that Tesla's had for 4 years? Nevermind. It's refundable, just like this $250 deposit. Let's see how long this takes! :cool:

So, if you can add an extended range pack in the back of the truck's bed... you can add 2 or 3 as well, right? Think about it.:oops: 750 mile range anyone? :cool:

"They are literally collapsing in front of our eyes" Lars has just put out an outstanding video about the "Tesla Killers" today. Well done Lars!

Although I've never sold any stock short, my understanding is that if your short position is not closed, it is possible to have losses on the scale of infinite. ?!!! Might be a good thing to be aware of if this is happening. :oops::oops::oops:

Nah!!! ;) (Thanks Carl Raymond!)

If anyone figures out how those two go together, then maybe you can help me with this one: 🤨

Is there a way to tell from this chart what Tesla's net profit might be at the end of Q2? How much is added to Tesla's coffers? And what then will their cash reserves be?

The real question is, does it smell like burnt short hairs? Now that would be seriously on topic. And.. I think might even be what the manufacturer/seller/supplier (Boring Co.) had in mind with the creation of such a product, no? Perhaps more insight will arrive on the 19th...
