Mars may be a large part of the reason for Elon getting back into software. It's the kind of business where if you create a hit platform it can generate huge profits in a relatively short time.
Elon seems to think he can create WeChat for the western world. Or something even better. It could get him to Mars sooner.
In Other News - Porsche now offers a "Performance Kit" for 13.377€ for 2023 model year Taycan Turbo S that - on the Nurnburgring - brought the Taycan time 2sec below the Plaid S to 7:33 New Nürburgring record for the Porsche Taycan
I linked the english press release - you can read that it's only offered in Germany, only for track use - so this is only offered for bragging rights if you ask me.
We know Tesla launches the Model S Plaid in Germany this year (orders went live last week, delivery before EOY 22) - they still lack the performance kit to bring top-speed from 270 (282 claimed on site) to 322kmh - so this alone should beat the Taycan again ...
My guess is Porsche won't keep the crown for fastest production EV on the Ring for long
Plaid run is here:
Speed Limit at 7:10 in the Video seems to be below 270km/h
So Porsche mainly got 2sec from streat-legal performance tires now on the Taycan - Tesla should be able to shave those by removing current speed limit I'd guess
EDIT:
I was looking for Porsche VMax on the final stretch, and no suprise - 268vMax vs 269 on Plaid. This stretch is loooooong - so TopSpeed Upgrade alone could do it .... rewatching the Plaid run - better breakes are also desperately needed
It also tells us that the Rimac 2 gear system probably can't deliver more than 270 even in track-mode - if it could they would have somehow enbled a specal race-mode just for seldom use to gain more ground - but they didn't. I guess Oliver Blume is on the phone with Mate for the upcoming 911 hybrid already ... but I don't know how they wanna regain the bev crown on the ring next year after plaid performance package is released in Germany.
EDIT:
A bit of German perspective - the Porsche Panamera Vmax is 311 Porsche 911 is at 333km/h - so Porsche has already an issue charging so much money for the Turbo S on a Taycan even though the vMax is severly limited (and they already have a garbox(.
For Tesla positioning seams to be clear:
Y perf 250
3 perf 261
X Perf 262
S Plaid 282 now 322 soon-ish
Yeah - it's not easy being Porsche right now from a product positioning point of view.
Also Taycan Turbo S + PErf Package is above 200k€ entry list price (and there might be some dependencies for the performance package as well)

A Triumph Bonneville T120 to go with my Moto Guzzi V7
I also used TSLA gains to buy a Model Y last year and a Model X that arrives in 3 weeks.
Nice. I own a Honda Goldwing which I bought in 2018 right before I went all in on TSLA, but I did sell a few shares in Dec 2021 to pay for a third of my Model Y LR. I financed the rest because loan rates were so low and I wanted to keep my shares instead.
Something about paying for a Tesla with TSLA gains just seemed poetic to me.
Pre-market looks more promising today, it will be curious to see how the stock performs now that Elon is done selling. Again. At least for now...

Even more difficult to believe that in over 10 billion miles of autopilot data, this is the very first time any car has ever seen a 12-mth-old toddler-sized, immobile mannequin, dressed like a traffic cone, standing completely still in the middle of a road, lined with traffic cones, and no adults anywhere to be seen. What are the chances? /s
This is not an 'edge-case', its a case of a desperate loser trying with his last o'dowd to remain relevant. Too sad.
Exactly that. If you know what the WeChat eco-system is - or the opposing Alibaba eco-system then you can see the huge potential.
For those who don't know: think of a platform with Amazon and eBay, where you can chat with your friends and link them stuff & get a commission. Everything paid with the integrated PayPal directly with your contacts or via qr code with strangers.
Like "Facebook" is synonym with "internet" in some African countries (as fb-traffic is included in your Dataplan, "browser" is expensive and sometimes even unavailable), so is "the wechat-app" its own portal into everything.
In the west we don't have such a unified interface - because different companies won't or can't bundle their stuff. Amazon won't marry PayPal, won't marry Whatsapp/telegram/signal/..
There are tests. Signal wanted to implement payment with your contacts and got much backlash..
Why I sold my Ducati after 18,000 miles. Too many injured and killed friends.
don’t even sell it, just give it away.
This is a good observation. Now, it's 12 hours later and still below 4000 likes. Something fishy...

Might as well say it out-loud: Twitter is obviously limiting visibility of this tweet.

In case anyone is wondering what happened on the July CPI Report when the numbers came out much worse than expected., $TSLA dropped 3% for an hour then recovered and was up for most of the day. An opportunity to buy the dip.

Well telling us there will be a dip in tsla share price soon is like telling is he will eventually be hungry. Tsla dips like 70% of all trading days.

The tweet where Elon states he is done selling and another tweet where he states he would purchase TSLA shares If deal does not go through are not easily visible to me. I had to dig for 5 minutes to find those tweets. It only took 5 min because we were alerted the tweets existed otherwise I would never have seen them.Might as well say it out-loud: Twitter is obviously limiting visibility of this tweet.

These tweets could have market moving implications and therefore Twitter should not be de-emphasizing them.

First selecting the 3 red circled settings, then bookmark the URL will provide all of Elon's tweets with the latest on top, along with other tweets I found useful. I used to simply go to see the latest Elon's tweets including replies, but this is my new preference.
Edit: Also helpful for me since I drop following frequently. But if you follow a large number of them, then using Elon's twitter page --> Latest --> posts&replies might work for you.

X.com was Elon’s original vision to revolutionize the entire financial industry. He never came remotely close to fulfilling that vision, but he did make hundreds of millions when one piece of it — PayPal— succeeded.
Based on his comment at the annual meeting, he still wants to completely disrupt the financial industry with X.com. He hasn’t let that vision go. Anyone here surprised by that?
In trying to disrupt an uncountable number of industries, simultaneously, Elon is likely to have many spectacular failures. But he’s also demonstrated an uncanny ability to carve out spectacular successes.
As a TSLA investor, I’m not too concerned about his other ventures. Yes, Twitter would take away some of his attention to Tesla (and X.com even more so) but c’mon, the guy already has way too much on his plate, but he’s built a strong team to keep Tesla on its dizzying trajectory.
As an Elon observer, and someone who believes that disruption is desirable and possible, I couldn’t be more excited to watch how this all plays out. There has never, ever ever, been a disruptor as potent as Elon before. And he’s just getting started. Both his failures and successes are going to be epic.

This doesn't work for me because I follow a lot of Tesla twitter, and well, a whole lot of them respond to practically every single Elon tweet...

Indeed, it is more than just bad optics. After record breaking Q1 results when the SP just started to take off, he broke the rally by dumping $10Billion worth of shares sending the stock to a 3 months slump down from 1100s all the way down to low 600s. Now, 3 months later, when it finally started to recover going into the split (squeezing some shorts), he did it again, rewarding the shorts and screwing over the longs.
From now on, any time the SP has a big drop not explained by macros or bad company news, instead of shouting MANIPULATION (and blaming shortz, hedgies, MMs), everyone should just assume Elon is dumping again. As that has been the established statistical pattern now.
No, I am not mad, just disappointed that he thinks Twitter is more important than the Tesla mission and it certainly changes my perspective and conviction.
You know: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
