As jarring as driving in Asia can be, there is a method to the madness. It takes a short while to acclimate yourself to the new way of driving. We've already established in the 12.3 videos that it seemingly adjusts for regional driving styles. FSD will eventually achieve competence, even in...

Cybertruck in China. Design center in China. Massive, enthusiastic crowds. SE Asia loves smaller pickup trucks. Hmm? Will I have a Ranger-sized Cybertruck in the Philippines in a few years? I certainly hope so.

This is a wonderful idea. Economies of Scale and all that it entails. Tesla could offer 3 tiers with the base being a single-motor RWD utilizing the M3 motor and pack. Price it close to an M3 dual motor or Performance and Oof da that would sell!

Why can't Elon just "Tweet" on TMC? We are a receptive and understanding audience. Isn't he famous enough already? He is making himself a target. I understand he has a plan to "clean up" Twitter, so maybe he should shut off his tweets until this has been accomplished. This is self-destructive...

I don't post often as I come here daily to learn from this incredible group of people., but now you're in my wheelhouse, as it were. After 25 years of living on all manner of boats (sail and power), the one you want (if you want to get as off-grid as possible) is the new HH44 (built in Cebu...

Since we are going down the rabbit hole today, here is my speculative take: Elon's enemies are doing their best to push him into lashing out, a bit of a "psyops" if you will. All are aware he was bullied, all are aware of what Elon is likely to do when he perceives something "unjust" being done...

That's awesome for Norway! Now how about Minnesota? There are virtually no SC's "way up North where the Husky's go"...that's like eating yellow snow (for the millions who visit these areas year-round).

TSLA stock will be moving up soon. How do I know? The thread has reached "peak cranky" We're all (mostly) friends here, remember?

Seems you can't solve world hunger for 8 billion. Only a 1-time bandage for 42 mil poor and disadvantaged. ** CNN's Brianna Keilar speaks to UN World Food Programme director David Beasley after Elon Musk offered to sell some of his Tesla (TSLA) stock "right now" if the UN can prove that $6...

Says the man who is already retired from previous fast run-ups. :). There are thousands of LT investors who didn't have the funds to accumulate like many of the posters here. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled for everyone here who has become wealthy. It's been a wonderful ride and I cheered for...

It never listens to me anyway :p

Are we going to see $800 today??

I asked my Filipina wife today about Manny running for President, and she giggled. "Someone is putting him up to it, he is caving to pressure from his buddies and he won't likely win if he runs" (we live nearby Manny's home city and Manny is a hero here, but not considered to be the best...

His back and neck are a mess, he's also limping. His body is trying to compensate for the pain he is in. Not good. He needs treatment and rest. It looks to me he's about reached his limit for normal function. I would think his doctors are not happy he is pushing so hard. Elon's one tough SOB...

Biden gave the UAW/OEMs what they wanted in order to play ball. Cash and kudos for coming to the game. They are children, and spoiled ones at that. If they manage to build something that Joe Public will buy, great. They are no threat to Tesla. Maybe THIS time they will do a better job of copying...

This is about being re-elected so that policies that further the transition to clean energy can move forward (much too slowly). The alternative to some forward progress is none at all. OEM's are attempting to put the squeeze on taxpayers, but screw em' let them fail. It may take a little...

The sales of the single motor variant may surprise. Inter-city Robo delivery (think Home Depot) and Gov't/Military base vehicles would work fine with the single motor. I ordered 10 trucks in the hope that Robo-taxi is up and running (2 tri's,1 single motor, and 7 duals). The orders were spread...

Though you have written of this before, this is by far the most succinct and relatable explanation of what happened during the stock run-up. Bravo. Years from now I will refer back to this in order to explain the story of how TSLA got to the insane valuations that will be our reality years in...

This was the one to have back in that era...I had upgraded Bridgestones and on-wheel speed balancing. It drove so smoothly! It would, however, go sideways in an instant at freeway speeds crossing under the overpasses in Minnesota winters, which made for a very interesting drive. /s

Of the non-startups, I think the one to watch will be Geely. They own Polestar and Volvo, too. Geely is making huge strides with production quality, safety, and value for money VS other ICE. They essentially offer a luxury Volvo compact SUV (the CoolRay Sport) with a ton of tech and Volvo...

I have been using World Remit to send USD to convert to Peso's in the Philippines for several years. The rates are comparable to WISE, but the money is there in a few minutes. My debit card to my wife's bank account in a jiffy. $10,000 limit per transaction.

Ryan's YouTube motorcycle content is the best on the internet. The scriptwriting, videography, and Ryan's dry wit are unmatched. This is how it should be done. A recommended follow for any former motorhead.

They would make even more if they sell to him. He lets them keep some amount and when it increases in value they keep their cash and the appreciated coin. Elon could crash Doge if he was so inclined. Elon said in a Tweet that he would create his own currency as a last resort on the last Tweet I...

How much would it cost to buy out the Doge whales? Would 1.5B do it? Not that he would use TSLA money for the purpose, as he has his own billions. But the BTC 1.5b could be directed to Doge or STAR COIN, etc. to get it started? I think TSLA may go crypto in a big way if Elon can work out its...

Hey! I guess I finally got ahead of the pack for once! Scuttlebutt, Feb 9, 2021 Last edited: Feb 9, 2021 Random thoughts from a late-Boomer who does not invest in Bitcoin as of now. Bitcoin manufacture is wasteful and too often uses dirty energy. The process seems to be very inefficient...

What if instead of "coins" We used a different unit of measure of value? Tons of Carbon collected and sequestered instead of "coins" Could Blockchain technology be used to secure these units of value? I realize this is way out there and I am really reaching with this theory, lol. But excess...

Yes. That's what I am thinking, too. Elon has stated that he was "Late to the Party" His mind was elsewhere (as it should be) Perhaps he had a conversation that changed the way he looked at blockchain-crypto? Elon will need Trillions to speed the development on Mars and carbon capture funding...

Random thoughts from a late-Boomer who does not invest in Bitcoin as of now. Bitcoin manufacture is wasteful and too often uses dirty energy. The process seems to be very inefficient. Digital currency is useful here and perhaps more so on Mars but has its drawbacks that if addressed might: 1)...

I think your right about the location near the equator.

Same for the Philippines.

So happy to reach the 1/2 mark. I ordered 6 Cybertrucks for a side-business opportunity play. Hopefully, it could generate a $1k mo/truck profit.

There are at least 3 of us. I hit the 1/2 Million in the after-hours. When we are breathing down Amazon's neck, we will be there! At Apple prices or a little more, a comfortable (if not wealthy) infinitely sustainable retirement will be within reach! Think of how many others who were in a...

Which truck? Single-rear, Dual, or Tri? ( I have one of each on order and thinking about reserving some more)

The Philippines perhaps? A solar and battery plant could work well here. Nickel mines, skilled and inexpensive labor. English is widely spoken. One small Philippine island has a working Tesla micro-grid supplying the island's power needs for a while now. A factory here could be a great test-bed...

TSLA holding up well. Really surprised at this.

Same/same/same. 606 shares/3 Cybers in 3 config's (in the 500's for the same reason) drove a new S once in 2013 and only sat in the others. 1 drive was all it took to realize what was happening. I held on through all the tough times only due to this forum. Warren Buffet was right....you only...

After-hours ramblings: In 1975 my father was the first in the USA (to the best of my knowledge) to design and install a ground-source heat pump in our new self-built 2500 sq ft 2-story colonial farm home. He mated it to a modified Carrier brand ventilation system. This was in Minnesota (clay...

Give it all away and start over?

Do you often close out your loan after a run-up or reduce exposure?

Thank you Rammstein. After the split, I could consider perhaps buying an option, not something I could attempt at this time due to premium costs and my lack of experience. At this point, I am just trying to maximize share count.

Investing advice from our forum experts requested. Currently sitting at 125 shares. Due to COVID and lack of shorter-term work prospects, I am hesitant to deplete my cash reserves of 6 months' expenses. What are your thoughts regarding obtaining a minimal margin loan of say, 10-20%? I have...

Yes. Just like Software Development/ IT grads. :)

As a Pro driver who just spent the winter operating a 90ft (300,000lb loaded) vacuum tanker driving on ice-roads in the Prudhoe Bay hinterlands, I am going to have to disagree with you on this one point. Drivers manage GPS touch screens with integrated Bluetooth coms and often-times poorly...

I have held long and strong 100% all-in since Feb '14. Through all of the past's crazy stock movements. Today's tweets (combined with no coffee yet, Lol) resulted in my 1st ever panic sell/rebuy. It cost me 1 share. Lesson learned. Don't panic if the fundamentals are unchanged. Still not happy...

My vote for a new factory would be the Minneapolis/St Paul area or perhaps Duluth. The area has Rail and Great Lakes transport options and a central (but Northerly) location. Add in Tesla's engineering presence in Minnesota from a previous acquisition of PERBIX Robotics. Ford had the Ranger...

We normally try to refrain from rambling-off topic posts during trading hours..or haven't you noticed?

Looks like Elon is betting the farm on self-driving. As far as owner cars in the Tesla fleet it was a bit confusing. So, I CAN purchase 3-4 cars and just run them on the Network? is that correct? Gross Revenue per car is approx 30K/Yr...is that what I heard?

Same for me here in the Philippines. Perhaps Late 2020 arrival?

Up almost 3%! correction: 3.32% and climbing! Who hoo!
