$4,495.2 pre-pre-split .. not all bad
Kim's drive is even more impressive. That heavy traffic unprotected left was perfection and honestly didn't think it'll do it.
So much for the markets crashing, maybe next week, eh?

Yeah, pretty impressive that they have that rotary dialed
as well.We can't get banned for puns can we? Asking for a friend.

Pre-pre split, I started a tradition of buying a t-shirt from the Tesla shop at every $1000 increment. All was well with the first 5-1 split. Easy math. Now I somehow have to keep track of every $66.66(repeating). I thought my annoyance over this small thing might be a bit overblown, but my mathematician friend assured me that it was not irrational.
(I'm here all weekend, folks)
Well, Tesla dumped over 30% post split first time and didn't recover for over 3 months.
This time we dropped 10% and recovered in like 2 weeks. I say that's improvement.

BMW confirmed the rumour that they will be using 4680, or “BMW round cells with 46mm diameter”, starting in 2025.
“The new BMW round cells come with a standard diameter of 46 millimetres and two different heights. Compared to the prismatic cells of the fifth BMW battery cell generation, the nickel content in the sixth-generation BMW round cells is higher on the cathode side, while the cobalt content is reduced. On the anode side, the silicon content will be increased. As a result, the cell’s volumetric energy density will improve by more than 20 percent.”

After-hours weekend share:
After reading countless articles poking fun a California for banishing ICE in 2035 while struggling to have adequate power to handle this year's heatwave (a fair criticism IMO), I dug into the renewable/solar farms feeding the CA grid. I remember during my last drive to Lake Tahoe seeing a VERY large solar farm near Mojave and I've seen others close to the Nevada border and was curious how much energy those large farms provide to the overall CA needs....Well, I was disappointed to calculate that the large Mojave farm I identified as the "Desert Sunlight Solar Farm" while providing a massive 1,324 GWh/year, was only 0.5% of what I eye-balled CA requires (per CALISO- incidentally a very data rich, real-time site) of around ~260TWh/year. So what I'd consider a massive solar-farm (6 sq. mi/3,900 acres) doesn't even produce 1% of CA's needed power! Anyhoo...then I read about the new BESS (battery energy storage system) that was just installed at the Desert Sunlight location which was 920 MWh and discovered that it is the 2nd largest in the world. Then I found that CA has a whopping 12 of the world's top 27 largest BESS which amount to 62% of the energy of the world's top 27 largest BESS.
In summary, for a state that is struggling to keep the lights on during a massive heat wave, that currently has 62% of the world's largest BESS deployed already operational in their grid....well Tesla seems to have an ENORMOUS amount of BESS to supply this world...Let's ride!

in comparison to the company that installed heated rear seats without me ordering it & then offering me to unlock it for 300 bucks..
Lol, Tesla activated heated rear seats for Model 3 SR+ owners via an OTA update 33 mths ago:
Tesla Model 3 SR+ owners to get heated rear seats through OTA update
Tesla will release an over-the-air software update to owners of the Model 3 Standard Range Plus variants, activating the vehicle’s heated rear seats to combat cold winter months. The request came from Andrew Carney, a Model 3 Standard Range Plus owner who directly tweeted at Tesla CEO Elon Musk...
