I went ahead and put my couch cushions into a Jack LeLane Juicer and got another 10 shares.

AP shuts off if you unbuckle. Person would need to buckle it, get in, drive, turn on AP, leave a weight in the seat, climb into back, all before a fast car gets to the end of a 1/4 mile street.
FTFY, no weight in seat and AP disengages
 
I swear it used to do that but others mentioned it either doesn't anymore or never did. I tested it earlier today and was surprised that they are correct. If you lift up your butt but keep the belt in place it stays on.
See these 60 year old passengers are ap specialist who knows all the tricks to enable ap without it disabled under the craziest circumstances that most people on the internet doesn't even know. They must have years of experience doing this while at the same time having zero clue that ap wouldn't turn at 70mph in a poorly mapped area with no lane markings.
 
with the 1 accident, this got lost in Translation

In the 1st quarter, we registered one accident for every 4.19 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.05 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 978 thousand miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.
 
*******MODERATOR NOTIFICATION*******

Regarding the weekend's crash in Texas: For any number of reasons - the plethora of armchair forensics, the drowning-out of other discussions, but perhaps chiefly because the unpalatable and irresponsible repetition of points both known and unknown is demonstrative that far too many posters here are more concerned in spouting off than they are of engaging in constructive discussion -

This subject is NOW CLOSED FOR ANY further posts until such time as either (1) Tesla/Mr Musk, (2) the families directly involved or (3) the investigating authorities make a public statement. Absolutely no other 'sources' of any kind, regardless of their background, experience or esteem, will substitute for the three above-named.
 

"The record 34,635 cars that were registered in China contributed greatly to Tesla’s overall Q1 delivery and production numbers. Tesla announced on April 2nd that it had produced 180,338 cars and delivered 184,800 of them. This was a strong showing based on Wall Street estimates that pegged the automaker would deliver around 162,000 cars in Q1 2021. This was obviously a low estimate as Tesla managed to outperform the relatively bearish estimates by a considerable margin."

"Musk is right, and the numbers prove it. China will undoubtedly drive Tesla into the stratosphere by continuing to contribute to the company’s substantial growth. Although the pandemic slowed 2020’s figures, 2021 is proving to be one of Tesla’s most productive and momentous years to date. The financial figures for Q1 will be revealed during the Q1 2021 Earnings Call that Tesla will hold on April 26th."
 
Great morning to buy shares headed into earnings. More proof maybe we're holding on too tight(Cougar Syndrome) and acting way too earning on these SP trigger events. I see the 1Q P&D and rush to lever up, coulda just as easily waited til today.

Now have less than zero powder. All dry was gone a week ago, I've now blasted off my moist powder as well. Maybe I'll go get some actual work done today.
I held just a little bit back last week just in case the SP got too close for my CCs. So this AM I was able to pick up [email protected] and [email protected]. ;) I also bought a 4/30 c790 with the last bit of cash. One account is down to $7.70 left.:eek: Hopefully, I’ll be able to sell some calls later this week for a profit, otherwise no powder left.
 
In other news, I sold a weekly 700 put for 30 bucks.

Plan to close out around 12 today if allowed.

Figure 70% works...

BTW, dunno about all these market record closes, this market has officially sucked for me the past two months. I am too much in renewables I guess... eh works for me. Had most for them for five years or more.

I did write my conclusion in detail, but I'll heed the warning and not post this time around.

FYI, this is why I got upset last time when my post was removed. I took the time to write down my thoughts but the warning came out while I was still writing. Normally, I post it then catch up. So I checked first because I saw this warning last night. Sure enough... Let me know if anyone would like my opinion on the crash offline (I would be amazed, but I did save it). I too would like to move on past this speculation phase.

So.... it would appear the market also thinks the wreck is FUD. Nasdaq slowly dropping while TSLA recovers. I can only speculate why that happened, lol.

$715 seems to be the current target of the shorts. Huge capping at $715 - Order to sell 8,400 shares put in and pulled. Does not help that CNBC is about to report on the Tesla "Autopilot crash."
Do I want to even watch this? Maybe I should sell the ones I bought earlier today and buy them back after CNBC is done. They're good for about negative 10 points, eh?
 
I’m so shocked and saddened the logical conclusion from my story was me selling my own flesh and blood for TSLA shares. Degenerates, all of you.

The quieter one fetched 40% more, interestingly.
So, was watching an episode of Supernatural yesterday. There was a guy selling body parts to monsters of various types via live Internet video auction. Sam Winchester’s heart garnered a bid of 500k, while less well known people were getting bids of $350+ for a single limb. Not advice.
 
I know TSLA investors are supposed to wear armor to fend off the heavy FUD, but even if this TX crash turns out to be zero % Tesla’s fault/ liability, this story has gone far and wide already and continues to sling. The irresponsible media that runs salacious stories without confirmed facts can do real damage to a brand.

You're free to post your crash thoughts in a more appropriate thread/forum right now if you like, as someone likely should have from the start. That way people could skip it entirely if they so desired.

It's 2021, Tesla is under no threat whatsoever from FUD. Back in the day there was legitimate concern of disinformation leading to the end for TSLA and potentially Tesla. Those days are long gone.

No one's trying to end Tesla today, they're simply trying to make money off a $600B+ megacap stock that can be moved 5% in a single day with relative ease. Jump on board. Take the other side of the bet. Make some cash. You only need to be right about 30% of the time when volatility is this insane.

Elon and Tesla have already won the war as far as I'm concerned. When I see people placing wagers that's not true, I simply accept their offers and remember I don't really have to worry about Tesla anymore.

As for the media.....the more obvious it becomes the better. Folks here called out obvious complicit disinformation for years, now with GME and all this other stuff the obscenity of it all is clear as day. That's a good thing. Trust the process!
