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

[KarenRei]

Lol. And here's Lin Wood endorsing the notion that Twitter is a "cesspool" when it comes to conversation, and thus undercutting his whole premise that Elon's comments on Twitter should be taken seriously

Members from touchstone states like MI, CT, TX, NM and others likely can give specific examples of Democratic legislators - at least at the state if not federal level - demonstrating words or actions against Tesla.

Elon Musk Takes Cybertruck Out for First Public Spin, Dinner at Nobu

 

[MarcusMaximus]

Lol, check out the latest conspiracy theory forming between Unsworth's lawyer and the nutcase fired by Tesla, Cristina Balan:

Cristina Balan on Twitter

You see, everyone.... for jurors who own Tesla, Tesla is watching... listening to their phone calls... using the camera to monitor them while tracking where they go... all clearly to get information to blackmail them to acquit Elon....

They got it all wrong. It’s not surveillance/blackmail, it’s mesmerism. They found the Juror’s car, and transferred over subliminal video frames to his MCU, convincing him to both find Musk not guilty, and threaten the other jurors if they didn’t do the same. Duh.

 

[Sudre]

Dems get support from big unions in the same the way the GOP gets big biz. So its the perception of an anti-union stance, while simultaneously ignoring union corrupt practices.

Hate to break it to you but Unions give 10s of thousands. Big biz give 10s of millions. While the Unions have less and less money to spend they do still have active members who make phone calls, go door to door and help with campaigns. Problem is most politicians now days just want the money.

EM said it was happening last week, but the trial took precedence. Hopefully this week...

Anyone else follow SoylentBrown on Twitter. He is making some pretty substantial claims on Twitter around new battery performance. No indication if it's anywhere near commercialisation.

As a CT resident, I have a problem with the dealership BS, but don't have a problem with the rebate MSRP limit. CHEAPR's funding is down to $151,000, from over $1m back in May. Yes, the reduction in MSRP (from $50k to 42k) is most likely a reaction to the massive amount of Model 3's that have wiped out the fund faster than they anticipated, but you can still get an SR+ and qualify for the rebate. I will strongly suggest that, with limited funds, a rebate allowing someone to bump up to a higher priced EV vs. a lower priced ICE (Camry equivalent) is more important than granting rebates to those would would otherwise buy BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc.

true, and agreed, also remember that it was at 60k before 50k

so it’s tough to blame them (cheapr)

overall, financially, the state is in disarray. the ev rebate is the least of their worries

I agree, with CT's finances, I'm happy there even exists an EV rebate. Also, that CHEAPR created a special process for handling out of state Tesla purchases, while many States don't offer incentives at all.

I wasn't aware it was $60k previously (I only started watching in May). but it makes sense. I think they're doing the right thing by reducing the limit as more affordable EVs become an option. This is the whole point of incentives, they should eventually go away as pricing becomes equivalent. Hopefully funding lasts long enough for that to happen.

Another point, with the reduction to $42k, the rebate reduced from $2k to $1.5k. All as it should be, IMO.

Rogan discusses Cybertruck

Anyone else feel Matt Farah is short Tesla? Haha he seems to have the Elon Musk Fraud conspiracy down,

Well the roadster isn’t due until 2020 at least. I wonder if Matt Farrah will go on air and eat crow when proven wrong. Did he say the same BS about the Model 3?

Where is his rant about the Taycan and electric F150? This guy is something else.

who is soylent brown?

a guy on twitter who represents himself as some sort of tear down specialist/reverse engineering. He claims to work for third parties like institutionals, etc. He definitely has some engineering knowledge, but it's hard to say he's for real. I've become a little more skeptical lately, but I just read it for the insight more than anything and not get too sucked in.

SoylentBrown (@BrownSoylent) on Twitter

 

[Darkfox021]

Hopefully informative, while somewhat OT (weekend!), I believe these CT CHEAPR charts show how incentives are supposed to work. Check out March/April, 2019 where BEVs (the timing corresponds to SR/SR+ M3 release) consumed a large % of all incentives while PHEVs reduced to a small fraction.

Confirmed private as it's blocked when not logging into an account.

.... and this is just since November 25. His entire account is pure copyright violation.

If you're on the TSLAQ blocklist, right-click and open in incognito mode to see them. To report a copyright violation:

Report copyright infringement.

Nice, thanks for doing this. But I can't report a copyright violation without a twitter account! I tried.

Which makes no sense. As if only a Twitter user's copyright could be violated?

I believe he reviews each request to follow individually. May think you're a bot account. One of the best accounts on Twitter if you're an ev nerd imo.
