I would aim to reduce the risk of uncovered calls. Yes, you can roll up and out in time, but what will you do if there's a squeeze and stock rockets to 500? or higher? I see 3 possibilities: - take the loss and buy to close all uncovered calls - use cash, buy leaps. convert uncovered calls to...

Piece of history that was in the news lately. Saimaa Canal. Built by Finland to connect lake Saimaa to the Baltic sea, from Lappeenranta to Vyborg around 1850-60. After WWII Russia took territory of Karelian isthmus, city of vyborg and parts of the canal and ended traffic. Finland leased...

Fridge specs say it draws 200wh / 24h operation. Max current draw 3A but since its a compressor fridge its intermittent. Just keeping the car powered uses around 200-250wh/h. Issue is really just if I'm camping somewhere far away from any chargers and want to keep a fridge powered.

Did you look into the trunk strut power? I think the strut is connected to constant power.

Easy, but not really efficient.. keeping the car awake will consume a lot of power.

My car is 2021, it still has the lead-acid battery.. and I'm over 80k kms so no warranty either to worry about 😅

i know, that is switched power. I'm asking for constant +12v.

Is there a constant 12v available in the trunk area? Looking to power a mini fridge, takes about 3A.

You need to consider just how much China can still cut their prices. At the moment a chinese car sold in europe brings about 10x the profit compared to selling in China. China may just eat the costs of the tariffs. Anyway Model Y doesn't really have much of a chinese competitor.. More likely...

Very limited number of people have any of those that you count in yout budget.

Expect a lot of pushback once people realise bots will take their jobs. Our society is already very polarized between employed and unemployed, it's gonna get worse.. I really can't see governments making the needed changes for bot-enabled-econony (hah I made that word up)

So if the package gets reinstated by passing the vote, and then Tesla's appeal passes, does that mean Elon will get 110bn?

Finland is the outlier, left party leader Li Andersson got over 245k votes 😊 That's over 10% of all votes in the whole country.

You think in Soviet Union no females were forced into prostitution?

Hybrids are hot, eh, selling more than pure gas/diesel cars? Have you looked at the available new cars recently? Here in europe THERE ARE NO PURE GAS/DIESEL CARS FOR SALE. Only hybrids or EVs. well if you really looked there may be some occasional model. But hybrid version will be cheaper...

Premium connectivity gives you live view of sentry cameras from your phone. No way to do that without premium connectivity.

Re Legacy EVs. Lets take a look at MB EQ lineup. There's currently what, 10 different models, quite high prices and low amount of production. And they can't figure how to make money on these. Or VW, just revealed id.8. I think. Tesla had already shown the recipe: make one model that can...

Gomore is in europe, Turo-like service. Doesn't operate in every eu country yet though.

A coworker just bought an Mg4 standard. Comes with 50 kwh battery and something like 150kw motor, its a surprisingly good car! No Tesla, but certainly better than any ICE at that price point. MG4 Standard costs 27 900€ here, thats with 24% VAT included.

Where are they at with the development? I looked and looks like they don't have a flying prototype yet.

I've been following Joby aviation Archer aviotion both look promising

I'm in scandinavia, where we have quite good high speed rail connecting all major cities. Major routes trains speed up to 200 km/h. But either trains are ridiculously expensive, or flying is riduculously cheap, prices are pretty much equal. A 6-hour train trip costs about the same as a 1-hour...

I think all this is just a bit overblown.. I just spoke to a colleague who bought a model Y. "Did you consider any other cars?" - yeah, I test drove Polestar 2 and Volvi xc40 recharge. They cost the same and both sucked compared to Tesla. "Does supporting Musk bother you?" - what, who's...

Haven't seen discussion about FSD and Semis. Think of what that will do to transportation: driverless, fully automated electric semi trucks.

I'm gonna ask them to pay me, say 50k, for not ordering one. I'm cheap, they're getting a 67k discount.

In a sense yes. But roadtripping in Europe to other countries and trying to use other than Tesla chargers is a nightmare. I drove last summer through Sweden to Denmark, tried to charge a couple times at a different fast charger and it was just impossible. Process: 1. Download some danish app...

out here, IONITY charges 0,79 €/kWh. Tesla superchargers peak rates are 0,41 €/kWh. So nobody uses Ionity, apart from some mercedes owners who get a cheaper rate tied into car purchase.. So I would not trust oems to build any viable chargers.

I thought all swedes were still on strike against Tesla

I know. But perfectly legal in most of Europe. In Finland they changed the laws to allow this just a few years ago.

Yes, but on a street like in that photo you are allowed to park facing the other way. As long as its a 2-way street.

Why? England is same as most of europe, you can park facing either direction.

if there's a will, there's a way https://ubitricity.com/en/charging-solutions/ac-lamppost/ As of now, over 8000 chargers in London, using already existing infrastructure.

Cybertruck has arrived in Europe.

I'm looking at evtol stocks.. Joby and Archer Aviation seem to be the furthest on development. Opinions?

now its up 95% 😂 Edit went up 125% and market was halted

so whats caused the 40% rise today?

Does anybody actually believe these were the guys responsible? Its all about as credible as that bear in the old joke about russians. KGB are told to find a rabbit, after 20min torture they have a bear who has confessed to being a rabbit.

Finnish transport union (akt) is now on full strike. Does not relate to Teslas swedish strike.. but relates to Tesla and EVs. Its a political strike against current government cuts to employees rights and will probably last 2 weeks. 2 days of strike and gas stations are running out of gas, and...

Unfortunately I have no way to change configs in current firmware. You'd have to downgrade a couple years back.

"The 0-50 km/h acceleration is in 4.9 seconds, and the 0-100km/h acceleration is yes." 😃

"Now the trade union IF Metall is easing the blockade that prevents workshops from handling electric car manufacturer Tesla's cars. Between February 19 and April 30, the union introduces a temporary dispensation so that cars that cannot be used can be repaired. This is reported by Swedish Radio...

Yeah, how do you even count that percentage? Y underbody is cast from 2-3 parts, model 3 welded from dozens, so are they 1 part or lots of parts? the whole metric is silly

Since IF Metal pays the 130% salary for those mechanics that are on strike, they must know exactly how many are on strike. They are not saying the precise number in public, to me that implies its less strikers than they would like. Of course Tesla also must know who shows up to work and who...

I drove it for 2 days, returned it and rented a model 3. Found the 3 much more spacious and altogether a fun car to drive.

Well that might be better. The one I had was a 2022 model. Still I doubt the car being that much better. Tight and cramped interior was a big issue for me. Felt like Volvo S60, big on the outside, cramped on the inside.

Heat pump gave up on my Model Y, and while waiting for parts I rented a Polestar 2. Meh. Car was just boring. Center console is so big that I almost felt claustrophobic. Nothing like a roomy tesla. Driving mechanics, boring, and in snow fwd was awful.. hard to get the car even moving from...

I wouldn't mind being on leave from work with 130% pay. it's actually amazing so few mechanics have chosen to strike. PAM, finnish trade union for people working in private service sectors, are organising a 2-day political strike in Finland. They will compensate everyone who strikes for 2 days...

So.. how big was Elons stake of Tesla shares until he sold like half of it to buy the bird? Just saying..

Finnish transport union is on sympathy strike, but so far it only concerns dock/port workers. It could expand to service. it's possible a Tesla employee belongs in the transport union. The sympathy strike only affects swedish cars, so if Tesla sweden sent cars to Finland for service, these...

Unions carry some benefits. I can only speak for Finland, but I'd wager sweden is not that different. for example: you get fired without a legal reason. It happens. If you're a union member, their lawyers will sew your former employer, and if the court degeees that termination was illegal...
