Thanks for the updates!

I realize that the wording has been removed, but if it is re-instated, I don't see any reason why a purchaser couldn't lease the CT to a potential buyer with an agreement to purchase the CT at the end of the 1 year lease? (Think long-term Turo or something..)

Yeah, completely depends on SoC. I'll normally run mine down to 8-13% and adjust my speed up/down to arrive at that SoC for best charging rate plus speed of travel without getting too low. Sometimes how it suggests charging is annoying, so manual override of route planning is necessary to...

Don't tell that to my mobile connector which has been hanging from a 16-amp 240v outdoor outlet since March 2019! We get lots of rain, but it's hanging from the plug instead of laying on the ground, so water can't pool around it.

Agreed. My wife's 2022 Y is much better than my 3, but her Y is still louder inside than her 2018 Chevy Volt she had before. THAT is a real shame.

Ventilated seats are my #1 desired feature. No, I'm not going to pay an extra $30,000 to move to an X for ventilated seats.

Would auto-open with spring-enhanced struts work well enough, or do you want auto-close as well?

Memphis desperately needs this charger to come online. I see a lot of locals doing night-time charging at the location near the bank, and it gets lines periodically. Apartments really need to get with the program and install at least 16a L2 chargers. (Or heck, just L1 charging would reduce the...

It would be cool if you could put all 5 of your votes to one location if you wanted to...

That's a lot of chargers! Good, because they're much needed! Looks like they won't be ready by this weekend though.

Any progress noted? Looking forward to it up and running hopefully by first weekend of March. 😟

Yeah, normally I would have rolled them over but the spike was so high that I didn't have enough money to buy back my calls to roll them forward by the time I saw how much it had spiked. I just hoped it would go back down enough temporarily to bring the cost of the calls back below my cash...

I try to look at it from a positive perspective of it's essentially doubled my income the past two years, and it's enabled me to do fun things like take my family down to Disney World, buy a camper, and not have to worry about paying the bills during the time I was working AND trading. It can be...

I used to have 700 shares of Tesla pre-split. That's 3,500 post split. I sold covered calls to make extra income, and buy extra shares... Eventually I couldn't roll my covered calls far enough out into the future to cover them all, and lost shares. I never lost money. I've made $250,000 on an...

Nissan is a great example of manufacturers NOT letting people upgrade their battery packs even when their old packs are experiencing severe degradation. Tesla let original Roadster owners do it, but I think that will be the only time Tesla will permit it for the purpose of an upgrade. I know...

Well, I stocked up today, averaging about $435. If I hadn't bought earlier in the day, it could have been lower. Oh well.

Good progress! Looks like it may be up and running by the time I'm there.

Study: global banks 'failing miserably' on climate crisis by funneling trillions into fossil fuels

Not moving fast enough! I will be down there next week. Luckily I can charge in Orlando, so I guess it's not a HUGE deal.

You won't catch me dead putting $ into BoA.

If you wanted to drive direct to the Ozark Supercharger, you could do it, assuming you're going about 65mph, and start with a 99% charge. You'd probably have to go 60mph during the winter, though. :/

With a Model 3, you'll charge at 500+ miles per hour, so probably best to hit the Supercharger. I agree that the location is not ideal. It would have been better if they had placed the Supercharger in North Little Rock.

People are debating the merits of repair costs on cast car parts vs stamped car parts and safety. 1. Elon has stated that safety is the first priority when designing vehicles, so don't worry about crumple zone issues, they're engineering for it. 2. If Tesla is going to have Tesla insurance...

Completely off-topic, but someone who visited this particular thread did a completely awesome thing for me, and I don't want to disclose without consent, but the Tesla community is completely awesome, you all rock. :D:):D

Better track performance with CoM being further in the center of the vehicle. Stiffer midsection means better track performance. The 4860 cells can likely charge and discharge at higher kW, so faster than 250kW charging will be possible. Lighter pack will mean greater range and/or faster 0-60...

I do wish they would put more L2 chargers there, but with the Supercharger it won't be as much of an issue. I will be coming from Orlando as we are doing Universal Studios beforehand, then returning to Orlando to do Disney World for a week after that.

I'm hoping this is up and running before the 20th. I will be down at KSC that week. :)

Robinhood gave me a margin call, the second time I've ever had one. I had to sell one share so then I could have the $ to buy back some soon to be expired this Friday puts on some SPWR to clear up some $$.

Boring shareholder proposals are boring.

You're probably right.

1:30 Pacific is when it starts... so 50 minutes from now.

I completely agree. I would like for "lower priority" chargers that do say 75kW max charging with a longer threshold before idle charges apply. (Idle for 30min before charging, as an example.) If I need a quicker charge, I can go to the v3 charger. Either that or the ability to set a maximum...

Dude should put a lock code on his phone.

This isn't a coming soon, it's actually under construction. But yes, AR needs a few more superchargers.

Speaking of, Ozark, AR is under construction, it should help greatly on the Tulsa/OKC journey to Memphis, TN as the Tulsa to LR leg was too long for most.

I hope this goes online before Labor Day weekend! Probably not, but I hope.

This location is a great place to stop at anyhow. Restaurant inside, wine/beer shop, lots of things to buy..

I expect we'll see a bounce after this dip as covering happens tomorrow.

Reminds me of when I used to run the quarterly reports for the comptroller at a subsidiary of a large finance group... Sure, I didn't MAKE those numbers, but there was a certain gravity to running the reports.

I agree, it doesn't make sense for Tesla to get into the raw materials business. That ties up a bunch of capital and then also tethers Tesla to a specific battery technology. RFIs and RFPs can spawn additional interest in mining and refining without tying up huge sums of capital, and then enter...

I know he bought a huge stack of Jan 2021 calls with strike prices below $400 IIRC, so he's likely made tens of millions while my portfolio has only crossed the 6 figure mark a couple of times... He ended up blocking me on twitter due to an existential reply of mine that had an F bomb in it...

Something us plebes do... Especially ones like me who lost hundreds of shares by selling covered calls instead of holding... Sigh.

Percentage wise, not yet.. If we go up 30% in one day.... But yeah, I think some people are trying to cover.

Holy S snacks! $1535

Even if S&P is priced in (and I think it is somewhat), there's little doubt it will rise once Tesla does achieve S&P 500 inclusion. So, whether it's 15% or 60%, if Tesla gets included, I think it's fair to expect some good gains.

Some may view this 3rd major version of the AP software (maybe more?) as a downside, saying that Tesla is behind. What it tells me is that they're wiling to start from scratch after learning lessons, instead of trying to cludge additional features onto a problematic infrastructure. Fossil...

I learned that lesson far too late. I get physically ill when I think that I have lost 700 shares due to covered calls that I bought in at an average price of $360. :( Sure, I haven't lost any money, and I got 125% return in a year period, but I missed out on $760,000 in gains... :( Much...

Well, the current Model Y owner's manual says the Y is not equipped for towing. Color me disappointed. I plan on delaying taking delivery of my Model Y until towing is an available OEM option. Otherwise I might as well just wait for the warranty to run out on my Model 3 and add a hidden hitch...

Clarksville may have an EA station, but I'm not going to drop $400+ on a Chademo adapter I'll use once or twice until Tesla gets the Supercharger location there. I cannot take delivery of our Model Y, getting rid of our Volt until Clarksville or Fort Smith have a Supercharger. Preferably...

Pre-order allows me to participate in the Model Y delivery event at Fremont? I'd love to make it to my first Tesla event.
