macros dropping some - likely the "excuse"
I hear you! I’m over in Contra Costa County where we have had a string of 104-106 degree days. It’s like this every August now, heat and fires, poor air quality.Can I just vent a little of my frustration with the Bay Area here?
First we have Covid so everyone is more or less stuck out home.
Then for the past days straight it's been reaching about 100 degrees here on the Peninsula (south of SF, north of San Jose). This area is known for having relatively mild weather historically, so much so that most of houses built mid-century have absolutely shitake for insulation and no AC. There's not even space in walls / ceilings to add AC - people either add it onto their roofs (very ugly) or during a full renovation.
But usually most people in this area don't even have it because the hot days were never that hot and too few inbetween. Now it's getting more frequent. And PG&E can't even handle the electrical demand so they are shutting off people's power again.
This is in arguably the most expensive market (outside of Manhattan) in the U.S.
Then Saturday night there was a totally freakish thunderstorm that came in (it wasn't even anywhere on forecast Saturday) and the lightening struck 2000 times in the Santa Cruz mountains, starting a whole bunch of fires.
Now that smoke is covering most of the Bay Area (trapped in by mountains) and the air quality is horrific.
So here we are, it's too effing hot with no central AC. Can't hang out outside. And portable / wall unit ACs will just pump in more of this trash air. Oh and the power might go out again.
The connection to Tesla is of course global warming, poor grid stability, and heck even not good enough options of AC systems / filtration.
Even the Bay Area needs Tesla.
I really miss KarenReiThe more I think about this threat, the more i realize it's roots are in social media platforms. These are the ppl who think we should stop making anything, even while supporting the clean energy movement.

"Reporting" does not change the environment. This shareholder motion was cleverly designed to be drag on Tesla's resources while changing nothing, because Tesla's behavior is already exemplary.Tesla's entire purpose is to improve the environment and humanity's situation. I suggest a 'Yes' vote even if it does end up costing us a little bit of money.
Lol, did ol' Jimbo really say "2000 miles", or is that a misprint? Because Tesla batteries already last for 2000 cycles, and its next gen batteries will last for 4500 cycles (1+ million miles).Cramer on $TSLA today:
"If you can develop a battery that lasts for 2 thousand miles, then Tesla for the first time ever, has developed a car that is not a car. It has developed a device that gets you from A to B without carbon. And then you ask yourself Why is Tesla only worth $350 billion? Should be worth more"
Think Jimmy Chill was trying to say 2000 miles on a single charge....or who knows with himLol, did ol' Jimbo really say "2000 miles", or is that a misprint? Because Tesla batteries already last for 2000 cycles, and its next gen batteries will last for 4500 cycles (1+ million miles).
Cheers!
Been a while since posting here. Just thought I would offer some perspective. This is what TSLA has meant to me and my wife. It has enable this dream for us. Not an island...just a mountain. Now we're working on the house to go on it.
Stay calm. Stay long. Use the money when it enables dreams to come true. That's what we did anyway.
Advice.

I try to sell every day...can't figure out why no one will pay $4200.69 for my shares. In reality, i am giving them a discount (Probaby have to wait just a little longer till they figure that out)I did some "thinking" and tried to sell a few shares at $1916 late yesterday, <5% of my position. SP never clicked back up high enough to execute. I think that's gonna be it for my adventures in selling, there's just too much chance of near-term squeeze.
Will revisit between Battery Day and the election. Have a feeling that even then I'll be hesitant to miss any day-after-election bump.
I also voted "Yes" on 7, knowing as @Bet TSLA says "These things never pass." I don't mind reminding the Company that as a stockholder I care very much about its actions WRT human rights.Tesla's entire purpose is to improve the environment and humanity's situation. I suggest a 'Yes' vote even if it does end up costing us a little bit of money.
Not enough people keyed in on Elon's comment that Tesla's competitive advantage long term will be their manufacturing expertise. That idea was somewhat forming in my head but when I heard him say that it really clicked.Good to see a piece like this on Tesla's manufacturing prowess: The Tesla Gigafactory Phenomenon — 101.
Business school gurus and corporate engineers continue to be in awe of the Tesla Gigafactory phenomenon. Tesla’s formidable manufacturing infrastructure and logistical configurations are continuously expanding in scale and improving in sophistication. The Tesla Gigafactory is renowned for advanced efficiency and effectiveness, reaching levels of production that few around the globe have been able to emulate.
That's not what I hear. Tesla's are still too expensive.
I really miss KarenRei
Why not?
