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

[Causalien]

By the way, I used today's dip to double my Pelosi trade.

And yes ToS means ThinkorSwim. I thought this is common knowledge now.

Didn't Elon mention how the steering wheel will disappear?
It looks about 40% of it has...
(I can see how as FSD becomes the norm this style "wheel" can be "teloscoped" into the dash out of sight. For Emergency use only.

Absolutely, and I think there is at least one car already doing this with a stowable steering wheel. Maybe it was a concept I saw, but I know I've seen it somewhere. Was it the Honda e? Maybe not. Anyway, I definitely see this type of stowable steering wheel coming with the advent of FSD and similar self-driving tech.

I'm Gen-X and I love this steering yoke!

It was on the original 2016 VW ID Concept car.

Am Boomer. Can confirm love for the steering wheel.

Am Gen-X. Can confirm love of yoke and if Elon adds cycling red horizontal light to front of car nose and voice-enabled smartwatch app, I will not be able to resist placing an order.

Sitting at the dealer right now. They were talking about an email that just went out. It seems if you had an S reservation you'll get the new S for $2k less.

They're getting a ton of calls asking about the situation. Unhappy people thus far. Doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. They were talking cryptically to each other and I said "well worth the price increase!".

I had previously ordered a plaid, but now that there is a plaid+ for 2K more (2K more is from FSD increase from 8K to 10K) they honored the old price. Keep in mind though if you change anything like color they will not honor the previous price. 2K not much in the grand scheme of things though.

Some people just can’t take a yoke.

Dad? Is that you?

It’s January 2021 and I’m annoyed TSLA is floating around $4,150 the day after an earnings miss.

 

[lafrisbee]

Is it just me or does it look like the steering wheel can essentially draw itself into the dashboard. Not completely flush but still essentially out of the way

That was half of my point...essentially it is out of the way if out of sight.

I'm either the oldest millennial or youngest gen X and I think I might like it. Mostly because the top of the wheel is always in the way of the instrument cluster.

 

[StarFoxisDown!]

If Tesla stays around the 700/800's throughout Q1 because of the ambiguous 2021 guidance.....I might just have to go back into heavy accumulation mode.....And here I thought I was done with that phase

My god. Those twins are AWFUL

Thank you! That's it. I knew I'd seen this somewhere.

GM plans to be carbon neutral by 2040, aspires to end tailpipe emissions by 2035

Title pretty much says it all - Mary Barra targeting 2035 to sell only BEVs, and 2040 for all production to be carbon neutral. They've talked about this before, but the dates are new.

Better late than never to get on the bandwagon. I hope they are successful -- the big 3 helped build America, and I will be rooting for them to succeed in transitioning, though I have my doubts as to how they can overcome their baggage.

Being public about how serious they (finally) are only helps the mission. So Diess and Barra can talk about "electrification" all they want; it only helps the mission.

I'm in Silent Generation (barely pre-Boomer). Love the steering wheel.

Whoever would have thought half a steering wheel would unify our divided country.
