    Battery coolant heater broken

    My coolant heater on my 2013 Model S went out last year and I just ignored it. It was easier to put a space heater in the garage that I could turn on remotely an hour before I wished to charge. This month I decided to go ahead and fix it. I tested the coolant heater, even took the whole thing...

    Tax discussion, strategies and questions

    I'll help a bit on this one too... simply Google. Married filling jointly double the bracket.... sort of. just Google it. Then add (actually subtract..lol) the simple deductions as mentioned above.

    Question.... If all ICE manufacturers simply lied thru their teeth about how great their diesel engines were, what is to stop them from putting whatever battery they want into their vehicles when push comes to shove? The government's will due what they always do when they find out.... fine them...

    I completely agree with your assessment. How do new companies startup to make competition if they can't get capital? If we have a labor shortage, which is one of the big problems, let those playing the markets do as they please. Stop trying to force them back to work. Congress should get off...

    (TSLA FSD Recall) If no one is going to report Wyamo to NTSHA they will not get a recall. Remember there are many people driving Tesla's and reporting as much as possible to force a recall so they can make money on their shorts. I do not live anywhere to ride in a Waymo car to report if it...

    I imagine you are keeping it simple (since you are an EE) but people here like the full story. Resistance for the wire sizes they use (and they are using fine strand so it is lower than what I have posted... less skinning effect) is PER 1000" of wire. The cable to vehicle is less than 20'. That...

    Many times this year when the thought was "more PUTs than Calls" it turned out THEY were the ones who wanted as many shares as they could get their hands on so don't be so confident about a PUT wall being where you think it is. We do not know what side of the wall the big players or the MMs stand.

    Heat Pump vs. Geothermal Heat Pump

    I have both a split system (works down to -5f) and a GEO-thermal closed loop well system. The geothermal heats and cools my first floor and the split system is a four head system that handles the upper floor bedrooms. It is nice that each person has individual control over the room temperature...

    I want to point out that my all electric geothermal furnace is cheaper than my gas furnace was. I also shifted my electrical burden with solar. Our electric provider is now offering plans that allow customers to get better MUCH better rates if they shift power usage away from the Duck Curve so I...

    I was wondering this myself. Since the golden boys won't have FSD I can see the Feds trying to block this for sure. Can they? Some states already allow FSD in certain conditions. Can the Fed turn around and block those states? I guess if the Fed says the cars are unsafe like not having a seat...

    I think people (analysts) get the math. I am optimistic about what Elon laid out. I think people don't believe the FSD hype. It has been hyped for too long. Look at this more straight forward. How many places in the world allow cars to drive themselves without a person in the drivers seat. Out...

    I am wondering if this new tech is more in the machine that will make the Cybertruck. I think Tesla is very secretly working on an AI assembly line that will scarily look like something out of the terminator. Why else start work on Optimus first?

    I think Elon did good to reassure the market things will move forward and UP without scaring anyone away with chip shortage stuff... He spent the right amount of time on each item. I am happy they are concentrating on currently announced products and not announcing anything new..... just for us...

    Unbelievably. All the news about the 60K accidents, murders and maimed pedestrians is defining too.... oh wait. Can you imagine the miles being driven on FSD and while interventions might be high, I am impressed about the lack of accidents. It might actually be true that the best way to test...

    I like the idea of 35 minutes for the shorts that just piled in to start panicing..... This very short term move does not hurt longs. Let them pile in more.

    I would laugh my head off if the FED called the bluff and said something along the lines of.... 'Since the market has pre-freaked out over the rate hike, we feel it's priced in so the market is telling us to raise.'

    I will go with your take then. I think a 20% drop plus probably more tomorrow is a bit extreme but maybe not.

    Exactly. THEY make up a 2022 Q1 number high so they have a reason to drop Netflix down some completely ridiculous number (20%!) even tho all the other numbers were in line or a beat. This is a prime example of what can happen to Tesla. What I see reported for NFLX.. note how Netflix beat EPS...

    One thing I am looking for after earnings is what "THEY" have the media print. I have a feeling like others the PD is baked in. What will matter is the future out look. If THEY can spin this about Texas and Berlin being delayed, even by a day along with Cybertruck not coming until some time in...

    MaxPain, call and put wall historical charts and discussion

    I follow this very closely. I make GIFs to see how the flow is moving. The max-pain, I have found, is pointless. THEY can put that sucker wherever they want. What I do find interesting is watching the tide go in and out. Macros play a big part. Like PapaFox has mentioned, someone is using macros...

    Opposite of last week. Calls are selling pretty well and Puts are kinda flat. They could have used the up and downs this morning to get Puts to sell. IMO they will want to fill the gaps between 1050 and 1100. First image was taken Friday.

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

    THEY got sick and tired of CALLs doing nothing so they did what THEY had to. Call's have been flying off the shelf now. This will continue today. THEY like having a balance of Calls and Puts. They make their money on the fees and premiums. If the Call are not selling they are only making half...

    It also proves Tesla can not be losing market share when all EVs are OBVIOUSLY taking market share from ICE.

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

    I didn't think I would make another one of these but with this fake push down in TSLA I wanted to note why this could be happening. Look at the wave of PUTS that are coming into the shore. CALLs are not moving much. THEY are using this to rise the tide. Strikes on this cropped image are...

    While I understand your annoyance, think of it this way.... {humor} It clearly shows why Hybrids are a waste of time and not worth the extra cost automakers and stealerships put into them. You can purchase a cheap gas generator (as compared to hybrid extra cost) and achieve a similar function...

    These are the type of statements that can show if they are against Tesla or not.... "May 13th, DOT will publish standards for EV chargers in the national network" If they are against Tesla they will standardize the charging plug (FINALLY!) and BAN adapters. It probably would not effect Tesla...

    Right there with you except I just sold enough for a down payment. My S was only around 3 million. I still have it. No one wants to pay $750K for it used!

    I am more confused about the safety driver that could not react to safely save himself. What is the point of these safety drivers? The whole rrason some HATE FSD is the lack of professional safety drivers. Looks to me like Tesla beta tester are doing a better job. I am not saying either is...

    Not worth trying to explain. That's why I stopped posting about it long ago.... I and many other have explained several times It just confuses too many people who try trading on the information. You are quite a bit off on your max-pain with 1050 as your number.

    You mean 1020 which is now being moved even further down by THEM closing the 1000 strike Puts as fast as possible. Yah... MM's look to be in good shape. I wish people would stop saying "close at max-pain" without saying what they think it is. So many others keep pointing out OFTEN max-pain is...

    Too much BULL about Job and Musk so I stopped looking to see if anyone replied to this. Union members in strong Union places like myself recognize this as "Prevailing Wage". I do not see certain member of Congress agreeing with prevailing wage or similar terms but one can hope. Prevailing wage...

    In complete humor my brain jumps to a Model Zero US factory that is completely automated except for one Union worker that pushes the start button on the casting machine. Then one year later the US Federal Government has to file for bankruptcy because of the 2 million $12,500 EV tax credits. It...

    It is a great explanation but the bill is designed to give consumers a discount on gas vehicles which have a tiny little battery in them. That is still in the bill right? In other words a bailout for GM to keep people buying their ICE. Most budget strapped Midwest families when given the choice...

    You should go back and digest everything Elon said. ALL incentives (every single incentive for all industries) should be eliminated (EDIT). The EV tax credits and charging station subsidies are all to counter the oil subsidies. If ALL the oil subsidies were gone how much would it cost to fuel an...

    They were already the first in bankruptcy. I guess now they will be the first in second bankruptcy. THEY are working on a pre-bankruptcy bailout as we speak.

    Maybe for the next Elon tax round he should tweet, "Hey US government. Show me a balanced budget and I'll sell 15% of my stock." I am not rich but the only reason I get bent out of shape at tax time is how they just blow it with no respect for the labor I put into earning it. It's like bailing...

    Well... we do know if you take control FSD turns itself off.... right? (all types and versions) So we know enough to realize this beta tester didn't take over and correct the car as implied. Or am I wrong about FSD and Autopilot shutting off when you take over control (turning the wheel...

    It is real interesting how low Max pain is for the next few weeks and everybody is wondering why there is a sudden push down on the SP. If THEY can get the price to dip they can balance the equation and get max pain up closer to where it will close this Friday. Last I looked max pain for next...

    Everyone is realizing this is actually good news. Hertz is buying at retail and competing with retail buyers to get the cars. Tesla does not need to give discounts. Everyone even rental cars companies want Tesla vehicles even before tax credits.

    Supercharger - Normal, IL

    Does anyone know if there is a way to contact Tesla and have them take the Normal, IL SuC off the car map?! I stopped there today with only 27 miles of range. Roadside doesn't seem to care they are stranding people on very slow third party chargers. Most of the population is not going to hunt...
