Your approach may be a good one for many people but wanted to give a slightly different perspective. We recently bought a second EV (not a Tesla) and traded in our compact SUV (few years old but low mileage). On the trade we got pretty close to the MSRP when it was new. Part of my rationale for not waiting was that I figured that used car values may revert to more traditional levels; the trade-in value potentially could fall over the next 1-3 years, perhaps eliminating any saving on the price of a new EV over that period. As others have pointed out, it is also possible that ICE values will fall sharply due to the transition to EV's (in addition to a drop back to more typical used car values). Through this transition to EV's, I would rather be owning an EV than an ICE vehicle.

An additional consideration is fuel savings depending on mileage driven, and on whether the EV can be charged with home solar,
Maintenance can also be expensive for an older ICE, particularly if things like timing belts or transmissions need replacing...
That would be awesome! I was just researching this SPAN panel but obviously would rather get an integrated Tesla setup. We're buying a new full time home in May that's in need of solar, batteries, chargers, and probably a panel so I'm prettay prettay prettay excited about my Burnt Hair delivery.
That is another possibility, a product similar to the Span smart panel, perhaps integrating into the Tesla VPP.
wow.. he has almost 2 million shares equivalent with 70% of them fully owned or low strike call options (~$20). rest 30% are at 143. I dont remember anyone else getting so much equity, even Drew or Zach. Of course JB likely owns more, but he was a co-founder.
Looks like Elon really wanted Tom to stick around.

Which EV did you end up getting, and was it not a Tesla because they don't offer the specs you need?
Didn't Elon discovered that having people being too rich only results them quitting into early retirement?
Yes, that is why he suppressed the stock so 'WE' here at TMC "HAVE TO" continue working!!!

During the dot com bubble days, the big joke was "calling in rich" when someone didn't feel like working.
You find your passion after retirement and work a lot on it; it doesn't stay as the analogy that is usually "not busy" as most would think from what I've seen, heard, and read.
Bought a VW ID.4; the price was a lot lower than a Model Y and I'm not a real fan of the appearance of the Y. I was looking for something that looked more like a traditional SUV.
Enjoy the ID.4, its still an EV and you cleared one more ICE vehicle off the road!
Those are all previously granted option packages from 2018-2020 that vest quarterly, monthly, or based on performance metrics.

Anyone have thoughts on what this could mean for DOJO? I would have thought this would have been a great opportunity for tesla to sell access to twitter rather than twitter buying a boatload of GPUs?
Dojo maxed out training for tesla? Or dojo not working well enough that musk has confidence that Twitter could make use of it?

Dojo was built for FSD style data. It lost some genericness in the process. Also, Tw wants easy to support compute today. Tesla needs it's Dojos up and running before becoming a reseller.
Pretty sure Dojo has been developed to be plug and play with ease. I recall something about musk bragging they plugged in some major public release of something 6 months back or something.
We still have our 2018 Model 3 RWD for long distance travel; Superchargers are so much better than anything else. The ID.4 will primarily be for trips closer to home (and will provide some first hand experience with how the drivers of non-Tesla EV's deal with charging).
