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

    You've been around long enough to have witnessed the stock swoon suddenly, depreciate doggedly, and languish longer. You know it's going to levitate ludicrously when we least expect it.

    Great news for all but especially for that one TMCer from the UK who can't park his car without some futuristic navigational technology. Praise god people can now safely leave their homes.

    I started buying in 2013 and was down significantly after 6 years. Until I wasn't.

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

    Absolutely right. I wonder what percentage of this vast majority picture themselves pulling rv's, boats, 4-wheelers, flatbed trailers, canoe and kayak trailers, etc. as they ponder that new pickup purchase. Or overlanding in hard-to-reach, remote places. I plead guilty to this and can't be the...

    Supercharger - Athens, GA - Alps Rd.

    This new location appears to have 8 pedestals so I guess that would be 16 stalls? It's located in popular Beechwood Shopping Center right next to the new REI and there are half a dozen places to eat within walking distance. There is also a TJ Max, a Fresh Market, Lululemon, and plenty of other...

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

    Just saw 8 chargers (still plastic-wrapped) that look a day or two away from opening in my medium sized NE Georgia college town (home of the 2x defending football champs). The location is right next to the new REI and this addition doubles the number of Tesla stalls and charging spots. Very...

    I've tried the product and definitely see what you did there. On a futuristic and speculative Tesla note, you know how there's been speculation about how exactly Robotaxis on the Tesla network would go about recharging throughout the day? There's been discussion of snake chargers and the recent...

    Up around 1.75% here at 8:05 EST in the premarket despite NASDAQ leaning slightly negative. I am unaware of any specific catalyst other than last week's momentum (released production or insured units, analyst upgrades, etc) that could be behind this. Happy about this little run but also remember...

    In the upper midwest, union employment makes up a significantly larger percentage of the voting public. These states were pivotal in deciding elections in 2016 and 2020 and therefore winning Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin etc. helps determine who wins the electoral college and thus the...

    I would also like to add that, domestically, the US Congress and the President helped start this "price war" by setting the qualifying prices (in the Inflation Reduction Act) at $80k for trucks/SUVs and $55k for cars. Tesla adjusted their prices to comply with the government's stated goals and...

    You know how Tesla seems to be a step or two ahead of everybody else? Wireless charging is meant to allow my Tesla to be able to recharge on its own so it can get back out there and make money for me by ridesharing while I'm asleep.

    Most of Elon's broken "promises" that you keep reposting are just predictions that missed or haven't happened yet. I can tell the difference.

    Heads up! Greentheonly on twitter has apparently cracked open a HW4 casing and is spilling all kinds of info that I'm too dumb to fully understand like there's a sonar and 11 cameras (and maybe a spare) and there is no way to retrofit any HW3 cars. Good luck deciphering all that!

    Didn't Elon already say that Master Plan 3 is basically just about increasing the scale of production? I'm not expecting a big TSLA pullback after Investor Day because the plan is basically just "MOAR" and I think even Wall Street can comprehend this. Now, there will be a slight drop when Elon...

    I first invested in TSLA during late summer of 2013. The amount was only about $10k, but as a high school teacher who hadn't yet stacked my final two degrees yet, this amount was a pretty big deal. I wasn't new to investing, but TSLA was my first investment in a non-blue chip company whose...

    China's economy is in a really weird spot with a massive COVID spike and a real estate-fueled financial crisis. There are also a lot of EV options at lower price points in China. There are some TMCers with way more China insight than me so hopefully they chime in.

    With all due respect, you cannot be serious. Five years puts us into 2018. Remember the horrifying Model 3 ramp and (according to Elon) looming bankruptcy? The ensuing ramp and Giga Shanghai exceeding all expectations? Model Y? Cybertruck reveal? Battery day? Two AI days? The stock being up by...

    A repeal of a bill requires the passage of a bill, which the President can veto. Requires 2/3 in each House to override. So not really possible until January of 2025 and this would require the wheels completely falling off and staying off for the Democrats. Pretty unlikely. If this were to play...

    I saw this yesterday and ventured over here to see what the smart kids thought about it. My preliminary deep dive (actually 1st couple Google results searching "direct lithium extraction") indicated that there are a lot of horses in this race. The EnergyX plan sounds good to my ears, but I am...

    Two things can be true at the same time: 1. I agree with your assertion that oil companies only care about profit, and everything else be damned. 2. I also agree with CaptKerosene (and Elon) that in the near term the world desperately needs more of the commodities that Big Oil provides. You...

    Well, they are his time and resources and not yours. Also, could I borrow your time machine to see if the Falcon's draft pick will be a bust or not. You seem to already know what works out and what doesn't. On second thought, everybody knows how things work out for the Falcons.

    Current plan: 1. Keep Hodling (except for occasional college expenses for the kids. TSLA has enabled this humble educator's kids to go to far better colleges than I ever imagined!) 2. I'm buying below $900 and maybe even below $925. Holding TSLA makes more sense than holding US dollars, at...
