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

200 x 30 = 6000 people. That’s a pretty big sample size for an opinion poll. Plug that into a binomial distribution confidence interval calculator and you’ll see the margin of error is like 2% depending on assumptions about p.

However, the representativeness and validity of any opinion poll, in general, is highly questionable. Polls are almost always garbage and should be treated as useless except when a very compelling reason otherwise is presented.

They did it! They finally did it!

Figures don't lie, but liers figure. Plus garbage in, gospel out...

But it's 200/ day used as a data point to show the trend. It's not 6000/day cause then that would actually mean something.

It's probably more valuable to use 3000 people on day 0 and ask another 3000 people on day 30, skipping day 1-29.

Wait a second, “among other things”. What other things??? Apple Carplay? App Store in Tesla? Apple car called off? Tesla FSD in Apple car? Optimus in Apple factories? Apple TV in Tesla cars? We need more information!!!!!

Snacks, Apple HQ has awesome snacks. I tweeted elon he should fill his pack full so he can refill his nightstand.

It is insane the amount of science and just plain *sugar* they had to invent to get there.

I also approve of how they hired carrot top!

Tesla is always figuring out ways to advertise their cars without having to pay for it. You can now buy a sleek white Tesla Wall Connector with wi-fi connectivity and a 24-foot cable capable of charging at 48 amps for $400 at...get this....Best Buy! Now customers browsing on-line, or maybe even shopping in car electronics, will have a seed planted in their brain. Tesla is pro-actively starting to market to car buyers who are not early adopters:

But that's not all. Do you want to go to the dark side? Even if you drive a Bolt or a Mach-e you can have a sleek black Tesla Wall Connector in your garage with a J-1772 plug hardwired. There is even enough room allocated in the case to receive the horrendously cumbersome J-1772 plug:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tesla-j1772-wall-connector-24ft-electric-vehicle-charger-with-48a-hardwired-black/6527755.p?skuId=6527755&irclickid=VKUQUyywpxyNRtfU3C31TT6oUkA08pW4e2WE2s0&irgwc=1&ref=198&loc=Fred%20Lambert&acampID=0&mpid=2382806

Now it's not going to be cheap to go to the dark side because Tesla does not subsidize the sale of J-1772 connectors so it's going to cost you an additional $150. Besides, everyone knows it costs more to make big, ugly connectors. Of course, $550 is still a screaming buy for a wi-fi enabled 48 amp charging solution. And it's the cheapest way to get a "Tesla" in your garage! Mach-e and Bolt owners can dream, can't they?

Some non-Tesla owners will realize they can save $100 by buying the sleek white Wall Connector and a $50 adapter. What kind of EV do you think they will get when they get tired of their Bolt or Mach-e and have a Tesla Wall Connector in their garage?

How are these 200 selected? That's the key question we should all be asking. Are they random dials (ideal), or from some database (how was the DB compiled?), or worse yet . . . self-selected and they request to be called (bias alert!).


200 can be perfectly fine for statistical calculations, but it could also be complete garbage if it is not a true randomized sample.


As the old saying goes . . . GIGO.

I'm sooo worried about the F-150 lightning cybertruck killer, after seeing the production and manufacturing details in the neuralink presentation... /s
Please cancel your cybertruck reservation, (not /s).

Yeah, gotta park your car outside, but you can keep your Tesla in the garage! LMAO!!!

If we see pictures of Elon later on tonight at a club with a guitar strapped around his neck, we’ll know we’ve reached the 8th dimension!

He's pretty much already done the race car with the Plaid event.

And he's also crashed an uber rare hyper exotic, so many checks on that proverbial bucket list.
