So perhaps the rental software should include “Are you presently a Tesla owner?” (or something similar) and then if “yes” is checked off, one doesn’t get swamped with the extra emails.
The way I invest in TSLA is quite simple.
Don't ever be forced to sell (margin call) and don't ever hesitate to take some profit if there's something else better in life than TSLA.
And most importantly... BUY THE DIP!
How they apply to me:
I minimize my leverage, especially in time like this where borrowing cost is high. I bought my house by taking profit from TSLA because it was our dream home and it was the only way to finance it in a way that I'd be comfortable.
Selling TSLA was not because I wasn't confident in TSLA. It was just a way to enjoy my profit in TSLA and there are bigger things in life than money. My original TSLA made some substantial profit... sold to enjoy.
I bought many of my original shares back during the dip late last year and early this year by selling all my other holdings. Bought on the way down and as well as the way up (low 200 to 115, then all the way back up to 200). The other holdings weren't making much substantial profit, but TSLA's price was too cheap to pass.
In short, never stretch yourself. However, life is too short to be passing everything else just so I could invest in TSLA. Luckily, there aren't that many things better than holding TSLA.
Don't try to time the market. You might get lucky sometimes... but you can't be lucky all the time.

Okay, you didn't mean to insult, so I'll take back my "Disagree".
But FYI, some of us "solo travelers" prefer to travel alone because we spent decades traveling for work, hewing to the schedules/needs of others, running crews, herding performers (or family members), going to meetings, fittings, conferences, etc.. The ability to go wherever/whenever the wind/whim blows is a real gift, in my case, thanks to Tesla.
Happy Monday!

I never want to see sub $200 again ever.
I've rented a Model Y from Hertz, twice. Once for a week, pickup in Seattle area for a trip to SF Bay area, and once for a week in Southern California. Both time received numerous emails extolling the fun and virtue of driving electric, with helpfull information on using the vehicles. In Seattle area, car had only 40% charge on pickup, and was dirty. Zero inquiry if I was comfortable driving the car. Opposite experience at Hertz in So Cal (Burbank airport pickup). Car was immaculate, 100% (!) charge, and they asked if I was familiar w/ Tesla or had any questions.
Use of cars was flawless both times, that first rental was about 1600 miles round trip and I loved every minute of it.
Second rental, leaving airport garage, woman at check gate asked if I wanted to pre-purchase return fuel without looking up. l was plussed, open-mouthed without an answer. She looked up at me, looked at car, and said "Oh!".
I loved that too.

I've rented MY from Hertz twice. All good, except not having the app access sucks. It is like having 1/2 of the MY utility.
Somebody has to make app access especially for current Tesla owners.
Weird that Tesla isn’t there? But good prices for a J1772 charger.Our utility SRP is having a sale on EV Chargers! Nearly all are half price. (No NACS
I would not have approved that script. “You can go about your day” after you plug into a supercharger. Makes it sound like it’ll be hours instead of minutes.

Anything can happen. But 210 is a strong resistance support. I don’t see it going lower than that. Adjust your limits accordingly. There has to be a pullback from record breaking streak. Higher highs and higher lows is what we look for in a health bull market. I expect some volatility from the cpi/ppi/fed data or even a pullback after P&D report. Earnings may* move stock price higher
I rented a Model 3 from Hertz a couple weekends ago. The thing I noticed was that the various settings took a bit of time to get (in my opinion) right. Perhaps the most egregious was when I pulled past the guard gate in the rental lot and into the sunshine. The screen was totally black. I immediately knew what was wrong - someone had set the screen brightness to 0%. I quickly reset it to "Auto" and was on my way. But someone who had no knowledge of Teslas would have had a big problem with it...
It was in Texas. While there, I visited my first Buc-ee's and Supercharged!
In 2014 I was lucky enough to get a rare tour of SpaceX. There I saw a Los Angeles factory outcompeting the Chinese on mega industrial manufacturing. That’s when I realized Tesla, too, was going to dominate. Enjoy this animation of SpaceX dominance.

This is... evocative. Tesla should do a similar animation for vehicle production.

@Sofie, If TSLA were to drop <$200 again, most retail investors will be selling, not buying. This is the way market psychology works to one's own detriment. Wishing for a <$200 TSLA now after a nice appreciation when one could have bought at $102 less than six months ago? We all had the same opportunity. What were we thinking when TSLA hit $102? I wasn't buying. Suggest following these simple rules, although hard to do at times:
- Practice dollar cost averaging.
- Don't invest funds that are needed for at least 3 - 4 years.
- Plan to keep your investment for minimum of 3 - 4 years.
- Do pay off all high rate debts first, such as credit cards and lines of credit (and I dare say mortgage debt at these rates).
- Don't invest on margarine.
- Don't gamble on 1.5X, 2X ETFs.
- Don't gamble your TSLA stock purchases with calls/puts.
- And please don't love to see TSLA price drop, understanding that TSLA never goes up in a straight line and is bound to overcorrect and overstimulate when least expected.
As for the overall market, from my research, interest rates will continue to go up (we are still at historically low levels) and start of recession is likely by end of 2023. Bank of Canada raised their rates by .25% last week after a six month pause and more hikes are expected. Australia continues to raise rates. US most likely will follow, perhaps after a one or two month pause. This will cause added pressure to high flyer tech stocks, be horrid for upstarts that have high borrowing needs and yet to be profitable (think Lucid and Rivian) and undermine the financial services industry. Commercial (Office) Real Estate will crater, likely overspilling into Residential Real Estate. More than one OEM will go bankrupt. IMHO Tesla is one of the best companies to ride out any economic storm. Interest rates will likely start coming down end of 2024 which will kick off another bull market. Markets are cyclical. In other words, it is never too early or too late to start investing in Tesla providing it is done prudently.
Well said! It’s total freedom without compromise!

Could not resist. Raised my TSLL position by 2% afterhours at $16.43
Will probably regret it tomorrow if stock pulls back but overall should be fine over next several weeks
