    Eversource EV Program

    Anyone check out the Eversource rebate program? I was told Tesla Chargers are specifically excluded from it. How can they have a rebate program that only applies to certain customers with certain plugs? Doesn't seem fair?

    Charging at Waterville Valley??

    I called for an update from town and resort. Still no plans from either. They kind of are pointing the finger at each other. And Blink installed a station but it is for condo folks only. Not sure how that works. They will tow you even if you have a Blink account. I remain still amazed that...

    Some sort of pipe going in, but yes, can still charge fine... while staring at all the pumps and equipment and wondering what is going on.

    After what time has passed would you consider an FSD class action lawsuit?

    I‘m super happy with my FSD purchase, one of the funnest and coolest things I own. here’s why: It is great having it and being part of the moon shot self driving is. And awesome getting each update to see how it gets better. I’ve had it since mobileeye days through switching to Tesla hardware...

    The value of having the community know what is going on is better than worrying about links improving search results. The click bait headlines are the main drivers of traffic so a single link is not going to do anything. But the community knowing about the times New York Times attacks Tesla might.

    What’s weird for me is that I like the Times. And then you get to the auto section and it is like jumping into the WSJ Opinion page. Pure fantasy. Yeah auto dealer ad dollars run things but jeez. In the end, Times and others allowed many people to get TSLA at a bargain. So that’s good...

    A plea.... To analysts, if you are going to show me facts and figures why you believe the stock it "too high" please stop valuing TSLA just as a car company. Break out all the different components, energy, solar, AI, superchargers, auto driving, Elon... etc. etc. etc. and then do your...

    Side note: I miss the real Bill Gates before he got pulled by others into these areas he knows nothing about. It's obvious he has no real passion for what he is doing now. Should have stayed in tech, the legend that he is, and kept going.

    In 2016, when buying into TSLA, I took a chance and transferred from a typical “growth mutual” Was curious how it worked out, so I broke my “never look back” rule, and did the math. That fund has done 13% since then. TSLA did a bit better. Crazy how just one investment move can be so...

    Tax discussion, strategies and questions

    This of course makes CPA laugh and say no, and they are correct, but.. logically, it should be ok. If a company bought a car to analyze it, they would write it off. Why can’t investors do the same? Companies are people. Therefore people are companies. ;)

    Bought and Held. What’s Next?

    Yes was interested in what is the first thing to try investment wise after buying and holding. And I surmised the best answer was going to be more buy and hold but was curious. The info I do run into most is covered calls. Is that the next level of investor strategies?

    They showed his disclosures and he was NO for any and all involvement with TSLA. So my question is: Ok, how does this work? He's obviously got some sort of stake going on right somehow? Is trashing TSLA with gobbldeegook just a way to get on TV and advertise his biz? Is that it?
