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

[sparcs]

At $0.58 a gallon difference, people already notice! Our last car took Premium and with a 21-gallon tank, I was painfully aware of the $0.30-$0.40 difference. And yes, I'm a multi-millionaire. Most of us didn't get to where we are without noticing these kinds of things.

but they just pay it anyways since it's the cost of buying a "premium" vehicle. Or they use regular instead on a premium recommended/required vehicle.

Here's what might help along with that 14 cent premium gas increase. Gas Taxes Rise in a Dozen States, Including an Historic Increase in Illinois

I don't know the quality of the information in that article, but it claims that 12 states just recently raised taxes. Some at minor rates, but states like Illinois rose by 19 cents.

so in illinois premium owners might notice as it's adding up. Maybe fuel taxes and some of these other things could help Tesla as they start to add up. Plus, i've seen other states talking about raising fuel taxes as well.

Edit: On the flip side, some state governments are greedy and charging more for EV registrations than gas vehicles. See Illinois as a new example. Not sure how all this will shake out and benefit Tesla if that's a new trend and they scheme to tax EVs at higher and higher rates.

Why must the stock price always go down after I buy some? And I bet it'll be even higher next paycheck too!

 

[UrsS]

ditto...the fundamental reason to invest and how you value a stock (DDM).... i am really surprised on how many disagrees and dislikes i got for suggesting TSLA dividends in the future... this is the TSLA investment thread

There are those who invest for personal gain (Capitalists) and then there are those who invest in a better future for themselves and others. Musk is among the latter: Tesla's Mission: "Accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy." So, I guess as long as the world is not 100% on sustainable energy there will be no dividends from Tesla.

Hmm, would you mind selling your stake then? I could use a bump as I'm about a $20 SP increase from being back in black.

Sent that to Fred - Electrek website and Teslarati perhaps also to cnbc
Good work can you repeat that for next Q tanks

A fuller picture would mean adding YTD comparison with prior year.

In 5-10 years, this 10$ difference isn't going to matter. Having bought at 240ish instead of 360 or 400+ though, will make quite a difference. So better to simply be thankful for this already discounted price that was given to us

 

[Krugerrand]

Do you mean by SC SuperCharger or Service Center ?

Yes.

Please let us know when you plan to buy so we can take appropriate action...

Dynamic relational modeling says it could easily drop right through 220 down to 160 if the inverse properties remain aligned.

True....but only if the data relationship holds between the alpha triangle and the falling crescent bridge.
Of course you knew that.

$0.19/gal x 15000mi/yr / 25mpg = $114/yr

That's really going to get those premium car buyers thinking while they're sitting in the Starbucks drive-thru.

I'm too old to repeat it, but the punchline of the story goes something like this: "when the foo drops, wear it."

Yes Illinois might be a little unique as they are using the increase to pay for state highway maintenance. They jacked the EV registration much higher but we are somewhat thankful they didn't bump it to a proposed $1000/year. This increase on gas tax was a long time coming and add to it that we've already got additional taxes on that gas, and it adds up to a pretty costly average price.

Hell, I need close to $100 Increase!

Seeing Teslas all over the place today in a small-medium city in Southern Indiana. Granted it’s a progressive city though, but still surprising me today just how many compared to prior days.

 

[CorneliusXX]

Let’s be real. Most of us will be dead by the time Elon Musk’s Tesla stops being able to come up with ways to spend money on humanity. Seriously.

Many more GFs to go.
Bajillion more energy and solar projects.
Many believe FSD is a hundred years out, so lots more R&D and hardware investment there.
Long way to go before every parking spot in the world has a V22 Supercharger that some think needs to happen, never mind just a reasonable continued expansion of the SuperCharger Network.
1,000 mile battery pack to achieve for the off-roaders and Alaskians.
Semi, Roadster2.0, pickup, normal pickup, heavy duty pickup, off road pickup, minivan, minibus, mini, station wagon, El Camino, and 526 other vehicle types people seem to think Tesla has to make.

I’m not even trying to be imaginative and I know there’s not even a remote chance I’ll be alive to see a dividend - and yes, I plan on seeing 2030 and beyond. So get the dividends are coming idea right out of your pretty little heads.

Edit: How could I have forgotten, a SC every 50 miles plus one next door to @neroden.

Boats, planes, agricultural equipment, lawn mowers, chainsaws, submarines, moon habitats, etc.

Far too many of you are emplacing posts that are nothing but a link to an article.

It must have been too long since the last alert: DO NOT DO IT.

If there is something of substance in an article, summarize it and add your commentary as to why it’s important. Don’t be lazy.
