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

    I agree, but don’t tell my wife. She just saved $4k upgrading to FSD on her new Model Y. She was enjoying her 3 months from my referral, (plus the one month free trial), and I was about to advise her to pull the trigger at $12k expecting the price to go up again. When the subscription was...

    Keeping an "old" M3 just for the FSD promise? That's ridiculous. Now if you've got one with the glass roof that turns orange in the rain...that's a keeper!

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

    So if I'm one of the 50k promised full autonomy, at what point does Elon buy me out of that promise? I'm easy, I'll settle for 100 shares, (as long as I can keep my car with FSD "whatever!")

    We’ve discovered that using the right scroll wheel to dial the speed up or down while in Supervised FSD no longer works if you have set it to “Automatic Set Speed Offset” in the Autopilot menu. (FSD Supervised v12.3.3.) For now we have decided to leave that setting off. (I meant to turn it...

    I just want to provide a bit of anecdotal evidence in support of your assertion: If there had not been a 6-month plus waiting time for the Model S I ordered in November of 2021, I would not have cancelled the order when I was notified it was ready. My circumstances had changed. This was a...

    Western Road Trip in a Model 3

    2024 UPDATE I’m sure all of you are wondering why I haven’t posted pictures and prose about our road trips in the Model S I ordered. (Only joking, I know this thread went dormant a long time ago.) Well, I have two excuses: 1. We haven’t been on any scenic road trips. We did have nice...

    No. Their purpose is making money by manipulating the market. Not legal.

    The saturation of Teslas on Vancouver Island was not as intense as Vancouver, but did increase when we arrived in Victoria. (My app shows 4 Superchargers on the island, but the one in Victoria is an Urban Charger, so that may need to be upgraded.) I predict an explosion of Highland Model 3s on...

    OK, so going to a foreign country, (Vancouver, Canada), and being amazed at the absolutely incredible saturation of Teslas and calling it bullish is not sufficient for my post to remain in the big boy/girl/cat/Dawg investment thread? Maybe if I share my knowledge of battery tech, neural...

    Maybe the charging stops will show “short subject” films. Remember them? The ones they used to show before the feature film and after the news real. (Okay, maybe most of you don’t.) Every year I’m never able to see all the nominated short films before the Oscars, maybe these will bring back...

    Did your 2018 M3 have the glass roof that turns raindrops into beautiful orange pearls? How could you part with such a classic? (I gave you a “love” anyway. I’m jealous of the white interior, it wasn’t available when I configured mine.). Enjoy your new M3 and I’m sure someone will enjoy your...

    We flew into Vancouver on Tuesday evening. During the 15 minutes we were waiting for our shuttle to our hotel, we counted 11 Teslas driving by, all Y's and 3's, with Y's edging out the 3's. BULLISH! During our site-seeing adventures, it is clear that Teslas are the most popular car here. A...

    The first time I saw a Model 3, (which was the day I took delivery of mine in 2018), I was very worried I would never get used to the lack of an instrument panel. That worry disappeared as I was driving it out of the showroom.

    I keep all my car accessories in the frunk. Cables, air pump, tire gauges, homemade pucks, cleaning supplies, lug nut key … but no brush. Okay, just added a brush to my WalMart list for our next road trip North. That will be in October so snow is not likely, but then again it was an October...

    Like this? I don’t live in a snowy area so this is not a problem for me. This was an early storm at the Grand Canyon a couple years ago. Of course, if I had had any common sense I would have brushed it off before opening the trunk! (Meow)

    Since the wash sale period is 61 days, (30 days before the sale, 30 days after the sale, plus the date of sale), day one of the 30 days would be the day after the sale. I just trimmed our Apple position to take advantage of the long term capital gain benefit for our tax bracket. I was thinking...

    Awesome footage! When we drove up Pikes Peak a couple years ago, they were re-paving at the summit so we were limited to Devil's Landing. We took it a little slower than Randy did. I was hoping there was a time stamp on the video so I could spot Devil's Landing. He went so fast I missed it...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    I haven’t tried TunaBug’s solution. All my double albums are “two albums,” I.e. The White Album (Disc 1), The White Album (Disc 2). In the list of albums for each artist the two are rarely together or in order. I have no idea what determines that order. Of course it requires finding Disc 2...

    I have absolutely no use for the massive and beautiful CyberTruck. But I sure could use a compact version, (but not the 4-wheeler that fits in bed of the CyberTruck). And yes, it’s primary use would be ordinary driving and attracting attention for the next 10 years, (not just 3). I hope I...

    I do that as well. Then to avoid “losing the identity” of the person sharing credit on a particular song I add a note in parentheses as a part of the song title, i.e. “(w/ India.Aire).” Duets albums are a real pain. I look forward to doing this for the new song by Miranda Lambert and Leon...

    If we had not trimmed our TSLA positions before the splits we would have 53% more shares. If we had not used the proceeds to invest in the “next Teslas” we would be a bit better off. (I don’t want to do the math on that one.) If the dog hadn’t stopped to………rabbit.
