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

[GOVA]

For those who don't know, I highly recommend watching Frienchie who does a lot of FSD videos in difficult Chicago's traffic.

Now, for a change, he's provided a great parody of the latest journalistic FSD Test

Not Tesla, but how is Faraday Future still in existence?!?

Come on. You know darn well they're only 10 vehicle deliveries away from a $100B valuation. Get with the program, will ya?

Scientific American - today: Northeast States Abandon Cap-and-Trade Plan for Cars

Excerpt:

The Transportation and Climate Initiative—a cap-and-trade program covering cars in three Northeastern states and the District of Columbia—was abandoned last week after Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) pulled the plug on the program.

The announcement represents the latest setback for carbon pricing plans in the United States, and it raises questions about how policymakers in the Northeast plan to tackle emissions from transportation, by far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the region.

Man does Elon love to troll. Hard to not take that tweet as something incoming

Same reason NKLA is?

Hertz (HTZ +10.4%) shares are moving up today following this news: Hertz to buy back preferred stock

This reminds me that a signed contract for Hertz to buy Tesla cars could soon be announced.

Is this even news? My understanding was the only detail to be ironed out involved timelines.

Primetime FUD in the UK this evening...

BBC One - Panorama, The Electric Car Revolution: Winners and Losers

How ethical is Tesla's supply chain? Darragh MacIntyre investigates.

www.bbc.co.uk

What a load of uninformed rubbish. Basically blaming Tesla for all sorts... including trespassing miners being injured because they scaled Glencore's security fences! Complete hit-job saying Tesla is at the heart of all the issues with Cobalt etc.

Unbelievable that this was able to make it on to the BBC.

 

[RobDickinson]

BBC regularly does hit pieces on EVs and tesla for some reason

Tesla Model S Plaid Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit added to online shop

Tesla has announced a Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit for the Model S Plaid, making it the most expensive item in the Shop, and by a wide margin.

driveteslacanada.ca

For a mere $20,000 USD, or $25,400 CAD, Model S Plaid owners can purchase a Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit. This makes it the most expensive item on the Tesla Shop by a wide margin. (h/t: @BLKMDL3)

If you purchased your Model S Plaid with the 19″ Tempest wheels, you are going to have to spend even more money and purchase a set of 21″ Arachnid wheels.

Tesla says the kit is only compatible with the larger, optional wheels.

That'll make a nice Christmas Summer Stock(ing) stuffer... for MARGINS!

Cheers!

Nice, but damb that’s about 2x what the P car folks charge for such an upgrade - not including wheel alterations.

Its a whole new brake set, not a factory upgrade. Its well within the ballpark of cost.


And tbh mostly pointless unless you track your plaid

Just about the cost of replacements on P cars

I'd be curious about if they are chopped or continuous rotors. If they are continuous they will last forever and perform a lot better. If they are chopped, nobody driving the street should ever purchase.

Not sure if this video on Lucid and their battery size has been posted yet.

Numbers seem reasonable. Am I missing something?

Edmunds - today:

This makes me anxious for what comes out of Texas. The 4680 cells and single casting front end should drop at least 300-500 pounds more.

934,091....such a seemingly random number, but he's sold that exact # of shares on 4 separate days.

No (real) mystery. The tax has to be withheld at a certain percentage, so when he exercises the same number of options, the same number have to be sold to cover the tax liability, somewhat independent of the actual stock price at the time.
