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

[FSDtester#1]

Is it just me or did the mods go on vacation and leave the interns in charge?
When was the last time we got the axe threat?
Of course, with all due respect to the mods....

Or has the OT and contributions been that much better in the last few months ?

Eventually, after a half- dozen good head-on collision comparisons between Teslas and various other cars where only the Tesla riders live, the safety benefits of Tesla will become more appreciated.

I bet O'Dowd was feeling awfully good about himself for a day or so there. Whether or not his ad played any role. Can't wait until I forget that name.

Who?

Unknown yet if autopilot was being used. Happened at 4am.

Wouldn’t you lose everything if a 1.5X leveraged ETF‘s underlying stock were to drop 67%?

Only if it did it in one day.

Yeah, not sure it would even matter if it had FSD or AP enabled. If the driver couldn’t notice a Huge red truck with dozens of flashing lights blocking all lanes that is flat out on the driver.

Is there any downside to holding TSLL instead of TSLA, assuming that we are 100% confident that TSLA will be going up in some indefinite future?

TSLL managers suggest 1.5x only works on daily basis.

Threads of the day:
The Resource Angle
Tesla mining and refining - Tesla to buy Sigma Lithium?
H/W 4.0 discussion (investors) Radar details
Gigafactory locations and products Mexico to be announced at Investor day?
Poll - Investor Day Bingo

I am so glad February is the shortest month.
Can’t wait for March 1st

And that’s fine. In the long run the multiplier may not be 1.5x but it should be higher than 1x and depending on specific daily movements may even go near 2x.

Yes. Not exactly vacation, but @AudubonB who used to be the primary moderator here had life happen. You can still flag things and I think other mods will step in, but it’s not being actively policed.

Not me. I was hoping the SP would run a bit more up into Investor Day. Always good to have a little buffer just in case there was a post event sell off.

Used to listen to them. Ironically they were the ones who introduced me to Musk back in the days by praising him for have succeeded in creating so many companies like Paypal, Tesla, and SpaceX. Very pro Elon, until now. I am not even sure what happened but Futurism on FB pushes anti-Musk crap all day. Same with the Verge, Gizmodo, and even popular mechanics. Lots of tech sites online became trashy tabloids by crapping on Elon's every tweet of no important relevance.

also Wired....used to like that mag, now its just woke anti musk/tesla crap.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Tesla has dropped the price of it's CCS adapter for N. America by 30%.

Its now $175 USD or $240 CAD at shop.tesla.com (I used mine twice on Friday)

Cheers!

Hm?? Don´t get the correlation of your post with the news.
- Not a head-on collision
- Tesla driver died here

The article (at least in the paywalled short version) is unclear though - reads as if it was there before and was only updated now, so not sure if this is even a new accident or an old article that poses as news..

Running into fire and police vehicles that have their flashers engaged is not all that uncommon. Been so for years. 100% sure it's not AP or FSD. People get fixated on the flashing lights and if they are not fully aware often run into them.
