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

[RiverCard]

A little OT but Tesla related nostalgia, a different perspective of the beginning from Tom Gage of AC Propulsion which I actually hadn't seen before, from 2015

Whatever happened to V2G?

What a waste of time. It is clear God's first name is Murphy. I forget the last name, a sign of senility you youngster's would say if not so polite.

Free Superchargers.

The Model 3s with FSD can be brought along with paired cameras at each mounting location.

Not necessary. I thought each camera has two images, one a bit later than the other. Source: teardown by the guy who knows, not Munro.

The need for security is obvious. Obama and Hillary advocated for a wall within the last decade or so, but the Dems seem to have forgotten that

What is obvious is the idea of a wall is monumentally stupid, (pun intended). For far less money you could have enhanced border surveillance and more patrols which would be far more effective. An unmanned wall is easily defeated by a ladder or tunnel.

They didn't use ACP's technology.

Musk's plane has probably arrived in Shanghai now. It's 8:06 AM there.

I wonder if there's going to be a groundbreaking ceremony shortly.

Come on, how can we be proper Cultists if we don't suggest that God's name is "Elon"?

I'm kidding of course. He's great and all, but he's no Elon.

David Booth, automotive journalist, is coming around not specifically to EVs, but to Tesla. He recognizes four innovations that set Tesla apart from all other auto manufacturers: Battery Technology, Supercharger Network, OTA Updates, and Teslas can see motorcycles.

If this die-hard "motor-mouth" ICE supporter can see Tesla for its innovation, proof the tide is changing.

PS. First sentence "the year" should be changed with "all the years", somebody picked it up on this in comments section.

Indeed, and you could add drone technology to that.

Murphy? I always thought it was Dammit.

Wow, made a mistake of poking a troll on twitter today. I think I am officially dumber now just with the interaction. Talk about a cult! Those guys are so delusional it’s painful to see!

Wait! What if we made the wall out of Tesla batteries. That might gives us enough storage to solve the duck curve for three countries. We might be able to get Canada to pay for it! LOL

I certainly won't trust Musk on timelines. He has long history of missed deadlines. Claiming that THIS time it will be totally different is pretty unconvincing.

M3 timeline got beat. I’ve no idea if G3 timeline will get beat or not, but they’ve already accelerated the timeline just as they did for the 3 so really anytime this year is a beaten timeline.

Epoch Auto, claims to be Canada's Leading Chinese Auto Magazine, in 2017 Toronto Fall Edition had a write up on the Most Anticipated Electric Cars of 2018.
(Let's see how their picks did for 2018 using US auto sales statistics from InsideEVs.)

1) Tesla Model 3 (139,782)
2) Nissan Leaf (14,715)
3) Audi (A3 Sportback) e-tron (2,597)
4) Porsche Panamera 4-E-hybrid (2,036)
5) Jaguar i-Pace (393)
6) Hyundai Ioniq (345)
7) Mitsubishi i-MiEV (0) Discontinued in North America
8) Faraday Future FF91 (0) bankruptcy?

Let's check back with Epoch next year to see how well they've done.

So is Grimes still with Elon or not? I saw news articles (I know, I know) referring to her as his "ex-girlfriend" recently.

It seemed that they broke up previously, and then it seemed that they got back together. No official announcements of either.

I think the wide angle has too much distortion compression on the edges. Better to sew two images more like a pan to estimate distances. The chicken head thing has too much latency.
