People have been ordering Roadsters and just giving the initial $5k and not the rest of the $50k and nothing happens. Tesla doesn't cancel their orders or anything. I don't think Tesla is really fussed about the money these days and you have to pay for the whole car anyways before they will deliver it.

Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
I no longer invest in funds but I always looked at the top 10 holdings listing to see if I knew anything about what they invested in. 5-10 years ago most investors didn't know what Tesla was. I think this past 2 weeks has gotten a lot of attention and educated quite a few of them. I don't think it has any material gain for them since they missed the boat years ago, but I guess it's better to get on board the rocket rather than be left in the crater to die.
Wow that is a bad article. Well not really an article more of a extended tweet.If you haven’t spat out your coffee yet today, I present a qualified opportunity to make up for it….

Well apparently they are delivering 25 trucks to customers in Dec, 2021! That's no small feat (if they do..)!

Gigapress
Trying to be less wrong
Gigapress alloy patent released.
"A high performance die castable aluminum alloy is described, wherein the aluminum alloy is characterized as having a high yield strength and high conductivity, and also a high flowability and low susceptibility to hot tearing when die cast"
Is 4-6% Nickel. May further explain the "Please mine more Ni" comments.
Patent says that this alloy also has unusually good electrical conductivity and will be used in rotors in the motors.

I'm officially on FSD beta! My safety score has been 99 for 5 days. This is on my 2017 XP100DL+.
Like the SP; I'm over the moon!!!
The rollout of FSD continues

Let me stop you right there
For some reason safety score of 99 and XP100DL doesn't mesh with my train of thought....please help prove me wrong

That dang punch card machine. Grade 9 Computer Science class back in '82. The Department head had ordered too many punch cards from previous years and we worked throught the slog. After one year of crunching zeros and ones I thought if this is personal computing, it is never going to fly, and I missed out on the whole personal computer wave. Thankfully I'm not missing out on the BEV wave. Great time to be alive!

Straight acceleration is not a measurement in Safety Score. Take out the break and the steering wheels and you'll be fine.For some reason safety score of 99 and XP100DL doesn't mesh with my train of thought....please help prove me wrong
I would have to seriously de-fun my M3P driving to score 99 (86 now). Not worth it. Have fun.For some reason safety score of 99 and XP100DL doesn't mesh with my train of thought....please help prove me wrong
Democrats put 401(k) and IRA restrictions for the rich back into their Build Back Better plan
Curbs on retirement plans for the rich re-emerged in Democrats' social and climate agenda on Wednesday, after a White House framework had stripped them out.

"Arguably" does not mean what they think it means.If you haven’t spat out your coffee yet today, I present a qualified opportunity to make up for it….

I'm not so sure a "great teacher" needs over 19 minutes to say it might be a good idea to HODL TSLA.

So if my TSLA somehow takes me over $10 million I'm still going to be pulling less than $400,000 a year in my projected distributions unless it goes over $15 million before I retire.
Doesn't seem like a problem to me, maybe some of the others on this board would have to shuffle some money around but even then it's doable to avoid this issue. The article mentions multiple types of tax shelters you could use to avoid it.
