Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
OK for most of the time (80-95%), when car is driven without no passengers (daily commute etc)
More uncomfortable for long family trips, for one more passenger.
Material world is full of items we do not useTesla going Mary Kondo in aesthetics.
If enough people go FSD and stop touching the steering wheel, Tesla is gonna throw it out as well.
That "one more passenger" is usually the spouse. If I told her to "suck it up, buttercup" .... my next Tesla purchase will probably get veto'd. I see this feature coming back in the future, or we'll end up keeping our current Tesla's until the end of our natural lives.

As a non native English speaker I think lumbar is the first word I've come across here that I had to look up the meaning off.
Credit to Tom Nash for pointing this out to me but I think it's relevant to our constant discussions about naked shorting etc.
Kaufman is now in charge of Biden's transition team and had previously pressured the SEC to implement changes that would make the ridiculous process of naked shorting impossible. This suggests that he might be in a position now to push this further.

English is the silly putty of languages. We like to absorb anything we touch. It's derived from Latin.
Small potatoes compared to whether the outside of Texas is inside or outside of Texas.

It is a big deal to some of us.
At this point, it would be nice if there was some actual competition. That would likely inspire Tesla to improve their communication with customers. Removing features without notifying waiting orders does not leave a good impression on customers.
I'm also irritated at how Tesla handled the eMMc recall. I had a MCU1 failure in a 2013 Model S due to the eMMc issue. Paid over $2500 for thr repair and requested a MCU2 if possible. Another MCU1 was put into the car and a year later it began showing the same eMMc issue. I brought it up to service who reset the memory (wiping my saved addresses and many settings) and then said it was fine. Issues persisted and I ordered a model y and traded in.
I was denied the reimbursement. After four attempts to ask for clarification, Teslas response was that my repair had another MCU1 with the unresolved issue put into my car during the repair, so the car still had the issue, and therefore I'm not eligible for the reimbursement. Really, that was the response.
Teslas are the best vehicles on the road and the best investment out there. I'm not selling or buying anything else, but I don't think tesla is above criticism. If they had an actual competitor, I think Tesla would be putting some more effort into communication, and adding more paint colors and maybe not removing options with no notice.
Ready for the disagrees.
Telsa communication still blows. No argument here. I just don't understand how it's not easier to send out a few emails proactively vs waiting for blowback.

No disagree from me. I paid for my own MCU2 upgrade and tesla are basically ignoring my claims for reimbursement.
Teslas screw ups, in my opinion:
Teslas screw ups, in my opinion:
- Constantly overpromising on 'full self driving' deadlines
- The whole 'no rain sensor...manual wipers' nonsense
- The throttling of charge rates for old model S without telling owners
- The denying MCU is an issue, then reluctantly having to be forced by court cases into dealing with it
- The pointless waste of time, attention and damage to the brand that the whole bitcoin fiasco represents.
- Scrapping the entire PR dept, and letting FUD go unchallenged.
Before we get started: there are plenty of threads on this forum to vent personal complaints about Tesla's cars and service. This isn't one of them.
So with a gamut of external cameras, an internal tracking camera freshly turned on and an advanced GPU it can only mean that we should start speckulating about an advanced AR HUD for the next 2-3 years.

That will be standard in the Robotaxis they build without glass. They'll have monitors surrounding the occupants in the place of the car's windows.

Only one data point, but I have used the lumbar support button and like to change it occasionally on long drives. I have NEVER played any game in the car. But then, I am old.
Tesla's focus on software is going to pay off big time and continue to put them further and further ahead of competition.

The winning automotive maker of the future won’t be those with the coolest looking car. It will be the ones with the best software for entertainment, safety, and reliability.
Tesla also happens to have very cool looking cars, so that's icing on the cake.
Tesla Is Turning Cars Into Phones. Other Car Makers Better Catch On. — Barron's
Cars are slowly becoming less about hardware and more about software. That shift has the power to change the automotive industry as much as any other trend, including vehicle electrification and autonomous driving. Automotive investors should start paying more attention to software. If a...

Thank you, it is good to finally see one of the mods lumbar support (ie backbone) is properly adjusted. MORE!
Tesla & Elon take weeks to confirm if there was a driver in the seat of a car that crashed or had AP on, but they have logs about lumbar support (not) being used in the passenger seat. Sure, sure.

every time you post, it makes me happy because it reaffirms my preconceptions about the intelligence of Tesla's enemies.

Incredible fact: Over the last 6 years, AMD shares have tripled the incredible performance of TSLA shares!
There are a lot of AMD shareholders who have become wealthy in the last 5-6 years and are sitting on silly money. This recent news, announced by AMD's beloved CEO, just gave AMD shareholders around the globe one more reason to like Elon Musk and Tesla. People who wouldn't have considered buying a Tesla previously (what has Tesla ever done for me?), now feel that Tesla is on their side which gives them a friendlier disposition towards becoming a Tesla family.
The world of Tesla brand ambassadors and Tesla's advertising "budget" just keeps getting bigger, all at no cost to Tesla.
Rimac launched their new vehicle today. The power is much higher than the Plaid+, although the range looks quite short compared to what Tesla is offering these days. It will likely cost an arm and a leg too.

I’ll bet their data suggests that the passenger air bag is used even less than the lumbar...when will they be removing those?
