So basically a $40K 3RWD, $62K YLR/7 after credits, using these base prices. Not including battery credits.

You’re welcome.
PS: WYSIWYG (or ..P) , SNAFU, FUD are acronyms: each can be pronounced as a standalone word.
GM (in any of its meanings), AAA, MSRP, WTF, PS itself - those are abbreviations: one has to say each letter.
Reminds me of Dec 2018 (ramp down of original $7500). I snagged a showroom model. They were even clearing those out.

I kept reading further down the post any people kept mentioning a few cars would pop up, then dissappear... it's Tesla's Black Magic.. making new cars dissappear at a delivery center near you...
They may sending delivery trucks to people's houses and rolling cars off the truck, into their driveway /s
But why emasculate yourself?

We are in an exciting decade. And this is the slow version, where the others don't keep up with Tesla. It goes even faster if they do.
My dude, those (the latter) are the very initalisms to which I alluded that reside alongside acronyms under the umbrella of abbreviations (along with things like St., vs. and Rd. which I natively macro expand).You’re welcome.

Al Root just lost a huge amount of journalistic credibility. Writing a whole article on a mistaken impression with no actual research - then, when called out and corrected on Twitter this morning, said he was looking into it - but still no retraction yet.
SP floating up after hours.
One more trading day until P&D numbers.
We all know who wins this war.
There is a lot of ground to make up after the last protracted battle...

Today I purchased 17 more shares of Tesla at a cost of $119.11 per share. In the past few weeks, I have had doubts about my investment in Tesla due to the drop in stock price. However, my cost-basis per share is low since I purchased my shares during the Model 3 ramp in 2018, when Tesla was valued at around $30 billion. As a result, I am still up several hundred percent on my initial investment, but I did lose a significant amount of paper money in the crash. Looking back, if I had sold at the peak, that "paper" money could have been life-changing and it has been weighing on me.
I took some time to reflect on what happened and my own knowledge and realized that despite holding Tesla for 5 years and reading this forum regularly, I have very little understanding of finance, investing and market cycles. To remedy this, I purchased and read a book on investing by Peter Lynch (One Up on Wall Street) over the weekend. Last night, I decided to put some of the principles from the book into practice by printing out the Shareholder Deck from Tesla's website.
I spent several hours reviewing Tesla's financials and created my own spreadsheet with all the basic data (statement of operations, balance sheet, operational summary, Tesla's guidance, etc.) and some graphs, just like all the YouTubers do. It was eye-opening for me to type out the numbers in my own tables and see the company's history. Of course, I was already familiar with some of the information, but going through every row and column in the financial statement and figuring out what the terms mean was a great learning experience for me. It showed me where Tesla came from and gave me some clues about what the future might hold.
I encourage anyone who is stressed out about the share price to do what I did and take a closer look at Tesla's financials to see for themselves how efficient the company is. Tesla has growing revenues, industry-leading margins, very little debt, and a significant amount of cash on hand. It might take some time but eventually the share price will reflect the company's fundamentals again. As a fun exercise, I also compared Tesla's financials to those of Volkswagen and Toyota and was struck by the differences. It helps to put things in perspective!

Then by that logic (and you're correct BTW), the abbreviation TLA is in fact incorrect unless it stands for Three Letter Abbreviation. Interesting...You’re welcome.

Yep.
70% down this year but we need 300%+ up next year to get back to where we were.

Gentlemen, as I surmise you two are intellectually stimulated and atwitter with the genesis of new acronyms and abbreviations, I will not allow this thread to get stuck in the mud with this comical back and forth with the hopes of a dawn of new responses from fellow members. Please move future discussions of such to the : "Abbreviation and Acronyms thread" or the incinerator will be activated again which I natively would not want to do during the holidays. ( If you celebrate them )
Regards,
Fake Mod

My best impression of a certain mod not to be named! All in fun, so don't activate the bannerator on me!
Fakely banned until Armageddon+1, by He Who Is Celebrating New Year’s a bit early.
I must have partaken of those stiff ones I’d mentioned, as I’ve no idea what TLA is supposed to mean.
Encouraging confirmation.
