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

Volvo is developing its own electric motors for EVs, in Sweden and China

Sell some. Buy cash. Take out loan. Reinvest. Deduct interest against investment income. Lowest effective interest rate achieved.

Just coming back from the Tesla store after test driving the Performance version of the Model Y. Still hesitating between long range AWD or performance. The finance l’âge was showing $1500 monthly for a 60 months loan.

I always paid my cars cash, even my Model 3. But I regretted it and should have kept all the money in TSLa stock. That’s what I will do for my Model Y purchase.

I'm eyeing a MY LR AWD but with Performance Boost. That would put it about the same 0-60 as my 2013 P85, which is my benchmark. I don't want to replace the P85 with something "slower".

Another explanation is that we're around $2100 pre-split vs $400 earlier this year. We had a low of $80 ($400 pre split) as recently as March 18 of this year

Yeah, $350 intraday low (pre-split). $75 in today's money...

If the choice was LR and P I would wait a few weeks and go performance when the SP gifts you the difference / makes it so.

I love the red brakes and 21” wheels and you will never regret the acceleration - even more so, if you’re a gear head / love cars

After test driving Mod Y Performance, I decided to go with AWD and acceleration boost.

I didn’t “need” the full performance - as much fun as it would be - but I really liked the zip of acceleration boost.

And yes, a debt swap (essentially rather than having a loan against a car, having it against an appreciating asset - robotaxi scenario excluded, which lets face it in snowy/slushy Montreal unlikely to happen in the near term), is definitely the way to go if you don’t want to have cash out of the market. Even better if you take the debt from a low rate HELOC.

Congrats on the Y, @st_lopes . Enjoy in good health!

+3.3%?

Apparently the market really wants and expects Biden to win.

Honestly Dow is tracking how the race is going. Nasdaq is either green or VERY green. Trump is actually doing way better than expected so it's rocking the Dow.

Quite the opposite. They are buying on the expectation that Trump is again proving the polls wrong.

Nope. Markets now counting on a Trump victory. Tesla is probably fine regardless of what happens tonight.

I have a P3D already. I race in that. I won't be racing the Y.

The market always knew someone will win and that our Republic will still be standing whomsoever does.

The swoon and, now, return was just traders capitalizing on angst stirred up by the media and pearl clutching by weak longs.

I thought the CT was going to be the same size as a F150? When did he say they are making it smaller? I thought he decided against that?

Franz said no to size changes last May.
Elon Musk changes his mind on Cybertruck dimensions, goes back to original design - Drive Tesla Canada

Agree with your Montreal slush analysis preventing robotaxis for a while here till the FSD AI learns to navigate through mine fields. Gonna leave that $10,600CAD in TSLA for 5 years and see what happens in 2025 with that.
