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

It's gonna really be tough to put your hands at 10 & 2 however...

Modern recommendation is 3 and 9 ever since airbags. But hand-over-hand is going to be awkward.


They should just have the FSD computer always running and have it turn on the signals for you. Instantly better than a sizeable portion of drivers on the road.

 

[joh01652]

I'm only concerned with really sharp turns. Seems as if it would be awkward twisting your arms like a pretzel.

I don't know, I always just put my palm flat on the steering wheel or put a finger in a spoke while doing sharp turns. The steering wheel design won't affect how I drive.

I like it. I can't help it, I really think I might have to buy an X

Will they ever learn? I guess the whole GME/Wsb thing might actually be a good lesson. If TSLA up 700% in the last year wasn't already.

With regard to ER: the after market reaction we are seeing is a very shallow phenomenon, where they (quite narroly) "missed" the "expected" earnings. But there is so much good in this report, the market is still underestimating Tesla Energy, still underestimating Tesla's growth rate and potential. It's like I've said before: it seems like an inherently difficult thing for humans to understand exponential growth, even when it's staring them in the face with the numbers to back it up.

Fwiends, Womans, countwymen - you’ve all missed the most important aspect of the new MS, and that’s the pricing of the entry-level, here in Belgium

Why does it cost €20,000 less than in the country to your north?

 

[Drumheller]

I have a serious problem with Tesla. I want to own one of each of their cars but only have garage space for 3. What the hell should I do???

I can store one for you. Just be sure to add my phone as a key and add me to your insurance policy.

 

[SpaceCash]

What up, fellow millionaires?

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

You do realize these are not Hotwheels.

Uhm, yes they are

Now someone talk me out of buying a Plaid X... or don't, idc

 

[Cosmacelf]

Tesla is going to teach people how to drive properly whether they like it or not.

 

[MP3Mike]

Where did you see the rearlights? The configurator doesn’t show the backside.

Sure it does:

WTF this isn't Pokeman. Are you trying to catch them all?

 

[Harrito]

Joining the party, refreshing my S <3

Seems the contribution will go towards Q3

 

[Dancing Lemur]

This is new (from MX specs):

Premium 22-speaker audio with active noise cancelling

It also mentions additional mics to support noise cancelling. There’d been speculation about that; guess it’s confirmed.

Welcome back!

And buy the Plaid X, of course.

The advantage of unions...

Large construction projects, like the Reno Gigafactory require significant manpower fluctuations throughout their different building phases. Union construction companies have the ability (flexibility) to call the union halls and supply trained and qualified craftsmen to fit the ebb and flow of these job requirements. The advantage to the Union company is a tremendous employee pool to draw from. The advantage to the Union worker, that may work for numerous companies, is that their benefits are administered through the Union Hall.

It is incorrect to consider Tesla as a non-union company. While many Tesla workers are in fact non-union, much of Tesla’s construction has been performed by Union tradesmen. As a stockholder, I’m satisfied with the results at the Reno Gigafactory.

I retired back in September with a Union administered pension. The icing on my retirement cake was investing in Tesla. Lots and lots of icing.

This has been the US price for the base MS for awhile now. The price jumped $10k in the US, I think this is a bug.

 

[Mo City]

I don't drive using the 10-2 or 9-3 positions. Just the 10. It's a comfortable place to rest and grip with my left hand; don't need the right hand.

Unfortunately, that won't be possible with the new Model S steering wheel. I'm very interested in the feedback when these deliver.

 

[Mike Smith]

For Tesla giving guidance to Wall Street is as stupid as giving a statement to the police. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

The guidance they gave is that they'll grow somewhere north of 3% over the Q4 2020 deliveries rate through 2021. I'm pretty sure they're going to make it..

 

[S3XY]

I'm there with you brother. "Honey, we need to build a larger garage.". That conversation's gone nowhere for two years so far.

I'll be adding a third garage for my Cybertruck next summer. Anyone that doesn't have space to do that might want to look into a car elevator.

 

[Rarity]

The advantage of unions...

Aren't the construction unions really akin to guilds rather than labor unions?

 

[dl003]

I find the declining gross margin worrisome. It's quite substantial actually.
