He mentioned the low reverse speed in Tesla's which made me think that would be an unfortunate limitation which I hope Tesla eliminates in the Cybertruck. Sometimes when off road you need to use full power in reverse to get out of bad situation.
OT:
I think when off-roading you could sometimes need enough torque to break traction, forward and backward.
But I doubt you would ever need high reverse speed, am I missing something here?

Tesla's electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles. Here are all the differences between them.

A positive article on BI. This is the side of things I wish would get more attention. People are aware of the pollution angle (whether they agree or not) and have a vague idea that EVs are cheaper to fuel. Maintenance is something people just take for granted.


I do believe in the mission, that's why I added the qualifier. I can't do anything about this pandemic or the actions from legacy auto so I can at least take solace that I will make more money personally.

I'm sure we're on the same side, @Nocturnal . My point is, we don't need - and shouldn't want - the legacy automakers to fail for Tesla to succeed. There is a bigger market than Tesla and established BEV makers (like BYD and BAIC) can satisfy in the near term. The more quickly existing automakers switch to EV, the more likely we can save the planet from environmental catastrophe.

I expected WTI to continue falling but it takes my breath away to see it plunge from over 20 on Thursday to 10.72 this morning. Just wow.

Nice to see TSLA in the green for now but we'll see if it holds up with these headwinds.

It's not clear to me that you are. Who was that TMC member that recently lamented the fact that without a new transcontinental oil pipeline, Canada could not get a fair price for their tar sands oil? This would be most unfair.:rolleyes:

The more quickly existing automakers switch to EV, the more likely we can save the planet from environmental catastrophe. the more quickly we can wake up from our surreal dream.

There. I fixed that for you.

I know some people were questioning why people with no intention to sell bother following this thread and the SP. Today is one of those days it just feels good to watch the SP.

There's a palpable sense of schadenfreude when you see bears celebrating all morning and initiating new positions, only to watch them all fall silent.
Drug dealers HATE this one stock. Click to find out.
