1. Funny I have seen robots in Freemont videos doing the same thing I see humans doing such as installing the Instrument panel.
2. AT LAST VIDEOS OF TESLA Quality Control !!!!! Why do we not see Freemont videos of Quality Control?
3. Gasp!!! Are they checking for........................Gaps!?
If you're doing it for your kids then once they hit their 20's I'm sure you can sell your waterfront property at a nice gain, move to somewhere less expensive and live large.
not really depleting capital. As mentioned, I’m keeping a decent chunk of it, but the housing price up here is completely nuts. Bring a waterfront ID even worse regardless how little summer we actually get.
The decision was between a larger regular house (kids are growing out of our current place, hence the house hunting) without selling any tsla vs. a waterfront larger house by selling a chunk. Both still financed to the extent that our income can comfortably pay for it.
Then it came down to the idea of my original post. By sticking with ALL my tsla holding, I might be able to buy a waterfront in a snap 10yrs down. But by then, kids are off to college. What’s the point of buying a waterfront property by then?
I still have enough that if tsla becomes a 10t company, I can benefit greatly and enjoy my retirement. Just instead of flying private jets, I’d have to make do with peasants first class.
Try only an hour for a gallery and home delivery is an option: Tesla Henrietta. But your point is well taken.
Here's the post from Jan 21st where @ByeByeJohnny says the video from Wu Wa says Giga Shanghai will stay open during Chinese New Year...

OT:
Noob question: is it safe to store more than $4m worth of TSLA in 1 brokerage? or is it better to divide the stocks up to multiple brokerage?

I speculated on a total end-to-end process starting out with Lithium Clays and ending up with reasonably pure Lithium Hydroxide here:-

Here's what Wu wa wrote on Jan 21, 2021:
"Starting tomorrow, the Shanghai plant will be closed for four days for equipment maintenance. And the upcoming important traditional Chinese holiday: Chinese New Year, a holiday that is like Christmas. According to Chinese national law, there are 7 days off, but the Shanghai plant will only have 2 days off during the Chinese New Year holiday, which may be to increase production during the Chinese New Year holiday. So according to Chinese law, overtime during the Chinese New Year will be tripled or doubled, so do the workers in the Shanghai factory want to get the holiday, or double the pay?"
Oh god, tripling their pay may just cost the same as an employee at Fremont.
Interview conducted by lora. Loves to point out on Twitter that Elon is not a founder, and gives credit to its success to Martin, especially. Who cares in the end. As long as the mission continues and is successful.
Chinese New Year is the most important holiday in China, I would imagine most workers will want to travel home and see their families. Many of these people literally only see their families once a year during this holiday if they left a village, town, or smaller city to work in Shanghai. They won't care about 2x or even 3x pay compared to that.
As long as Tesla stays solvent your safe with one.

My understanding is that since Tesla knows how you drive, they can give low rates to the drivers they judge as least likely to have a claim. This, of course, necessitates charging more for those drivers that Tesla determines are more likely to have a claim. We do know they base it on much more than age, sex, marital status and driving record because they use their driving data.
What we don't know is how they determine the likelihood of a claim from the driving data. but I would suggest they use artificial intelligence to identify for 'markers' that are highly correlated with risk. Then they assign a level of risk to each driver by running that driver's data through their filters. They have access to the traction control data, they know the speed limit and your actual speed, they know how hard you brake and accelerate, how often you talk on your phone, what kind of roads you spend most of your time on, and in what situations your driving behavior meets certain criteria.
For purposes of illustration and for the sake of simplicity, let's assume all cars on the road are Tesla's. All this implies to me that they can only take about half the market initially. However, that will leave the riskiest drivers to the other insurers who will have to raise their rates as they figure this out. At that point, Tesla will be able to capture more of the customers in the middle risk group which will cause the other insurers to have to raise premiums again and so forth until other insurers have either gone out of business or are only insuring the very riskiest drivers with very high premiums.
However, in the real world, Tesla will only have driver data on a fraction of all drivers (those who drive a Tesla). Unless Tesla runs a more efficient insurance company than the competition, they will not be able to make big gains into the portion of the market that they don't have driver data on. Of course, this could be wrong because maybe Tesla will be able to us AI to better assess the true risk of each driver using traditional metrics and this could allow them to acquire more low-risk drivers by offering them lower premiums than traditional insurers.
I know how I drive and I think my antics might place me in a high risk group (regardless of whether I belong there or not). Perhaps your premiums are so high for similar reasons. Tesla has to WANT to insure you in order to offer lower premiums than the competition.

I've been impressed with how well Autopilot drives in the snow and slush already (including other low visibility conditions like a drenching rain). As the system improves I believe it will eventually be more safe than most humans. Tesla might need to retrofit side camera heaters in order to handle the nastier snow/slush conditions.

I think it should be clarified, Tesla doesn't know how YOU drive, they only how a specific car is driven. There could be multiple drivers sharing the vehicle. Or if you were the only driver of two different Tesla's, you might drive them very differently.

True in theory but in practice that barely muddies the water to any significant degree.

depends on whether or not your brokerage has been Robbin’ the ‘hood.

You nominate a driver profile for seat mirrors settings etc.
When 2 drivers are different heights, they will probably have different profiles,.
Regardless, insurance needs to be the sum of all likely drivers, so whether or not they would analyze different drivers is hard to say,
