Wow! I've often thought Honda had pretty sophisticated, nice-looking designs but apparently, they have taken it to another level! Best looking Honda I've ever seen! Did they hire a new designer? /s

I love my Sea Dweller, so sorry, bad analogy.
Rolex (and other over-priced luxury watch owners) love the idea of ridiculously over-engineered mechanical status symbols. That would be analogous to Porsche in my mind.
Porsche::Rolex
Tesla::Apple Watch
Bollinger::G-Shock

PM me if you want the details.
So you agree with me, Bollinger will never amount to anything worth discussing further.
And just so you know, it's absolutely false that the occupants in a vehicle like the Bollinger will fare well when it crashes into an immovable object. Weight is actually a negative when you hit a solid tree or rock wall and the lack of airbags is a real danger. Even a side impact by another truck running a red light could kill you much easier than in a small car with airbags like the Model 3 or a regular pickup with airbags.
Marked. Congrats! Your cat got out of the tortilla!Shits going to all time highs where it deserves to be by November mark this post
I was like that on the way down around 280. By the time it got to 180, not so much. I ran out of money already
How did you know that was the last stop?
I think you are trivializing the pain many of us endured
Naw, more like "The Mountain and the Viper" (but without the long-term consequences).So uncouth. I’d rather they be trampled beneath the feet of a herd of elephants. But, I’m flexible.
Only goodwill work attributable to a warrantied condition would be a warranty expense. And the fact that it is is "goodwill" implicitly implies that Tesla does not think it is warranty work (either due to the warranty being expired or the issue not being covered under warranty).
What you are claiming makes no sense. It wouldn't be called "goodwill" unless you would normally have to pay for it. And warranty work, by definition, is not billed to the owner.
The reason is pretty clear to me. Selling used ICE cars is not their core mission and it detracts from designing manufacturing and delivering the best cars the planet has ever seen.
Also, do you really want to make your technicians deal with oil contaminated with combustion by-products and gasoline that is contaminated, well, because it's gasoline?
Lol! Okay!! I want it in writing.... uh, never mind.Shits going to all time highs where it deserves to be by November mark this post
Enough to pay lobbyists and max out legal contributions to influential state legislators' campaigns.Do they make any money?
Nice clickbaity link from SFGate. You'd think local journalists would be a bit kinder to Tesla...View attachment 469811
So basically, you say, it's anything-can-happen-thursday?Wut up homies?! Are we mooning yet? Where is @SpaceCash and @StealthP3D? Whose house is the party at this weekend?
All right, though seriously, I'm not popping the champagne yet. Nor willing to margin up or by LEAPS. But I have a good sized stock only position (with limited margin) and made some options money on the move up yesterday, which I converted to stock. I have no idea what the stock is going to do. Either I'm jaded or just confused. We've been here many times. It's a big move with a big gap, and we all know TSLA likes to fill the gaps, and there are even gaps below 250. But unlike previous times, I'm not convinced that this will go back down and fill. This was a major gap up, almost like a so-called "break away" gap, which could end up permanently trapping shorts below.
The stock is really behaving unusual IMO. If you look at the multi-year chart, you'll see that it bounced between approx 180-280 for years and then between 280-380 for some more years. It then had a technical break below 280 support this past spring. At this point, I expected it to either continue falling, or go back into its old range of 180-280, or make a V shape recovery. It now doesn't appear to be doing the former two, so the V shape recovery appears to be on the table. I stated previously that it would take either significant time or sig news to get back above the technical break of 280. The market has determined that this was that news. So this is what I'm hoping for, a V shaped rapid recovery with maybe a minor pullback and partial gap fill, and (eventually) new all time highs. With that said, I'm not willing to bet on it in leveraged fashion. Because we all know how TSLA can be. But to each, their own.
The other two possibilities I see are: that it's a head fake and we quickly fade back down back below into the 180-280 range. We will know whether this is true shortly. Or, second, that it forms a completely new pattern than before, where it freely moves between a new wider range between 180-380. That scenario would just royally suck IMO. As if it isn't bad enough that we had to bounce around in a 100 point range multiple times a year. 200 point range would just be hell. An example of this would be that it goes up to 320-340 (or even 380) and then goes all the way back down to 180 again. That would just suck, esp if you got leaps or other options (personally, if I bought Leaps at 180, I would liquidate them now and convert to shares, as it would just hurt too much to see those leaps come back to 180 -- been there, done that.) This is why I'm just holding shares. Yes, it takes longer till we get rewarded, but much less stress. I only give up opportunity cost and maybe minor margin interest expense.
Anyway, just some thoughts on the matter. Not advice. Good luck to all!

So yes, as expected. So it makes sense if you have to take the risk (of insurance) anyway, to sell this insurance to the customers, right? No need for lawyers then. Reduce your risk as your FSD software gets better and better.Toyota boss says autonomous cars will accept crash liability
"Manufacturers will have to accept liability in the event of an autonomous accident, according to bosses at Toyota’s research institute
Manufacturers of autonomous cars will have to accept liability in the event of an accident involving one of their vehicles – according to the specialist in charge of Toyota’s project to develop its own self-driving technology.
Dr Gill Pratt, CEO of Toyota Research Institute, says that manufacturers “won’t have a choice” but to accept that without a human driver to blame for an accident, the law is likely to turn to the companies who make the vehicles instead."
No wander the Automakers are dragging their feet on this, the only entities happy about this are the lawyers.
Schumer proposes $462 billion car swap - gas for electric
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is moving Democrats’ climate talk to where the rubber meets the road, proposing a $462 billion trade-in program to get millions of Americans out of climate-damaging gas vehicles and into electric or hybrid cars over the next decade.
Schumer’s rebate proposal late Thursday joins a mix of trillion- and multitrillion-dollar programs that Democratic presidential candidates have outlined to urgently cut oil, gas and coal emissions, as climate change weighs as an issue in the 2020 campaigns.
Schumer said the “proposal to bring clean cars to all of America” would be a key part of climate legislation by Senate Democrats. The injection of government-supported spending for electric cars “could position the U.S. to lead the world in clean auto manufacturing,” he said.
The New York Democrat’s plan would give American car buyers thousands of dollars each to trade in gas-burning cars for U.S.-assembled electric, hybrid or hydrogen cell cars. Lower-income households, and buyers of cars with American-made parts, would get extra credits.
About $45 billion would go to boost availability of charging stations and other electric car infrastructure. And $17 billion would help automakers increase their production of electric cars, batteries and parts.
