Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
I rarely ever watch the drag racing videos - not too much into the speed craze
But this video is fabulous!!!
Well, Labor Day tomorrow in the States (would be "Labour Day" elsewhere if celebrated?), and while we in the US may be spared the compulsive look at our phones or computers to check TSLA stock price on the NASDAQ, not so at the markets in the rest of the world.
I check Berlin and Frankfurt often, but are there any other spots that TSLA addicts can turn to for a fix?
Asking for a friend ;-)

Sorry for posting about this again, but on page 20-22 of this report there's a really good rebuttal of solid-state batteries. I was aware that solid state batteries work in small lab batteries and had trouble with mass-fabrication, but I didn't know any details. This makes it much more clear why Tesla's strategy of focusing on getting li-ion $/kWh costs down is the right path forward.

Disruption is hard.
I know for a fact that my S has major panel gaps. All of them in fact,; Collectively they’re between me and all the slow ICE speed racers that try and beat my out on a highway. Biggest gap ever.
Doing my part in Tesla advertising. It’s like those signs outside of an apartment complex, “If you lived here, you’d already be home.” Only, “If you drove a Tesla, you’d hate what you’re driving now.”

Nothing new. Comes in one firmware version, gone in the next.. Not good, but also not worrisome.
Three of my favourites:
Shostakovich violin concerto - I'm particularly fond of the Sarah Chang interpretation
Sibelius VC - Anne-Sophie Mutter (in fact anything by ASM is amazing, Carmen Fantasie was my first introduction to her approach)
Philip Glass VC - the Dennis Russell-Davies with Arnaud Capuchin is particularly spectacular, not least because they play it slooowwww

So have no doubt experiences vary, but for me on the GCP of NYC my FSD sucks. And it is not a good place at all for phantom breaking. People on your butt relentlessly.
I am prepared for great improvements. I can see the outline, details really suck for me.

I like your idea to get out of the S&P 500 Index but this might not be the right time to enter the International Growth Fund (after such excellent performance over the last 9 months). A good way to de-risk at this stage of the markets would be S&P 500 to Russel 2000 (which also has TSLA, although a lesser percentage).
Since you already have the ability to invest directly in TSLA in whatever percentage you feel appropriate, the TSLA weight in a fund should not even be a consideration. The Russel 2000 has a history of under-performing the S&P 500 but it also tends not to rise and fall as much so, having ridden the S&P 500 and the International Growth Fund so far up, it might be a good time to re-weight into a fund that is likely to fall less if we hit a period of negative returns.
Just a thought.
Sold out of the final bits of my S&P this week, and a most of it the week before.
Started converting it to TSLA in upper $400's which with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight - was a bit early), as the price has come off since I started buying. (bought in the low 400's too). I realize it won't matter 10 years from now, but the sport of getting a great TSLA deal is tempting.
Timing markets has never been my forte but it's nice to end up with a decent entry point. I am happy with my core position for now - but love buying TSLA on sale.
Giving credit it where it is due - you prognosticated well @StealthP3D with your decision to sell a bit at the high. What say you about possible "TSLA on sale" periods between now and Battery Day ?
You left out ‘wealth gaps’ from the TSLAQ crowd.....
True - again you are right and these small differences will probably make a difference in the long run. Maybe I will switch everything to BPTIX if I can. In my defense, I am usually doing these research late at night, when the family if gone to bed - doesn't always help with accuracy
One thing to watch out for is transaction fees. In my retirement plan BPTRX is transaction fee-free as long as you don't sell shares within 60 days of purchasing them. However, BPTIX has a $49.95 transaction fee, so I don't invest in it with my paycheck contributions. I'm thinking about selling BPTRX and buying BPTIX when the balance gets high enough to make the fee have less impact, but I don't know if it is really worth it. (Over a long time it probably does make a difference.) The bad part is that they don't let me do it same day, so I have to sell one day and buy the next. Which risks losing, or gaining, one days worth of change.
Kinda weird, I just noticed on my E*TRADE account that tesla SP reset to what it was at closing on Friday instead of after hours trading.
Normally this figure would not be revised until trading resumed on the next trading day. Anyone else seeing this bug on their end? Just a glitch I assume.

113 Degrees in Fallbrook California. I’m a true believer in Tesla’s “Master Plan.”
For the made in Berlin Model Y we might see:-
If we consider COVID-19 restrictions on travel, doing next level automation at Berlin makes sense as the Grohmann team can be actively and easily involved.
In terms of the final product the advantage are :-
More Automation also makes sense in Berlin as the local area has low population, new workers need to migrate to the area, solving issues by hiring more staff might not be optimal.
What is different this time around from the initial sub-optimal automation in the Fremont Model 3 ramp?
Of course this is all speculation.... but it is on a level that justifies the hints dropped by Elon.
I think what Elon may be most excited about boils down to one thing :- Faster Line Speed.
- Casting front and rear/possibly sides
- Automated single pass 3 layer paint - 3 stations
- Automated installation of new wiring harness
- Automated marriage - motor and pack installation
- More automated GA process.

In terms of the final product the advantage are :-
- Casting - simplified faster production, lower weight, better QA (locating pins and mounting points in castings),
- Wire hardness - faster installation - lower cost - lower weight
- Paint :- better quality paint, faster line speed
- Automated Marriage and GA - faster line speed
More Automation also makes sense in Berlin as the local area has low population, new workers need to migrate to the area, solving issues by hiring more staff might not be optimal.
What is different this time around from the initial sub-optimal automation in the Fremont Model 3 ramp?
- Tesla has learnt from their mistakes and has vastly more experience.
- Tesla Grohmann can be intimately involved in all phases.
- This is not a bet-the-company situation - very important.

8 Giga presses in Gigafactory Berlin
Tesla boss announces radical new technology for production in Giga Berlin: This is what it looks like:
One of the new Giga presses was recently installed in Fremont and in Tesla's second new Gigafactory building in China . And for Tesla's German Gigfactory in Grünheide, Brandenburg, eight of these hundred-ton machines are planned.
"There are 8 die-casting machines with a maximum operating capacity of 73.1 t / d per machine", says one of the thousands of pages of Tesla applications for the German Gigafactory , which were officially laid out on the Internet and documented by a Twitter user .

I have TD Ameritrade and have the same exact thing. I noticed it last night. It reset to the price at close of Friday and didn’t include the Friday after hours price. Hmmmm....
