TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

[humbaba]

I realize its OT, but this is AH so...

Does anyone know how "off menu" ordering is done?

I mean, its not like I want to know. I'm just, you know, asking for a friend...

 

[Artful Dodger]

Do you know if that was a white interior config? I'm still holding on to that being the lemur.

dafaq, i'm still at 5:30 pm bro...

too many b.s. posts to fight thru.

You're not wrong... but I feel like you're spinning it in the worst possible tone. I would call their decisions "nimble" and "exciting".
Seriously, I appreciate that they operate this way.

I don't really think so. So far I've owned my AWD 3 for a month and now it's gone down in price $1,000 and because of when I picked it up I didn't get a die-cast car either when lots of other people did. Tesla's pricing shenanigans are what they are and everyone eventually gets screwed at some point, but I really wanted a little car.

I’m going to assume you go find a employee at a sales or delivery center and ask them to order for you.

I wouldn’t trust email or calling at this time.

Q4 Party!!

I have an extra die cast Model 3. PM me an address and I'll send it there.

 

[CuriousSunbird]

Full self driving being removed from model 3 is the biggest change of all of these changes.

That’s a giant part of the thesis...

Have we seen any explanation for that yet?

 

[Artful Dodger]

HUGE HUGE QUESTION IS.

Does this come before the end of the year?

10 wks, 5 days til year end. Tesla says 6-10 weeks for delivery. I'd say ur golden.

Cheers!

 

[SpaceCash]

Have we seen any explanation for that yet?

Yeah, Elon said it's because of bankwupcy tomorrow.
Who didn't see this coming though, amirite?

 

[MXWing]

Have we seen any explanation for that yet?

Yes. Anton Wahlman explained it perfectly (NOT). Look at point #3.

My weak rebuttal was:

So why as a Model 3 owner, I can still buy FSD off menu?

Just because I order fries animal style off menu, I do expect to get my fries?

 

[RobStark]

Can we just call this one "COMPLETELY RANDOM GENERAL TESLA THREAD"?

It would be accurate, everything would be on topic, and we would be still here anyway, because evidently nobody has better things to do (this is my favourite procastination device).

I prefer " STUFF THAT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO TSLA INVESTORS & SPECULATORS AND VARIOUS TANGENTIALS"

 

[Artful Dodger]

My only hail mary is I'm telling my wife I care for her, thus thus the MR 3. If I didn't care I'd get a her a Volvo instead.

Lol, sounds like she will be safer in her new Model 3 than you in your own home.

Just make sure she knows it's the safest car ever made.

Good luck, Brother!

Wow, thanks so much! PM sent! <3

Someone on Reddit had it as Limited Edition Mid Range...
As in: they might drop it once they are able to make the SR.

You know what Lemurs have ? They have black & white tails - that's what they are most famous for.

Just like the white & black interior.

ps : But white & black interior isn't new, right ? Oh, well.

Let's consider the people that are busy enough to not easily have hours to spend catching up on this thread. For example, someone in their 40s that has a busy career, kids at home, a spouse, tries to have a social life, and tries to use this thread to keep up on things related to TSLA. That person may have 15 minutes to spare in the morning while eating breakfast to read this thread. Perhaps they might squeeze in 15 minutes in the evening after the kids go to bed.

That person shouldn't be gambling on TSLA, if he only has at most 30 minutes per day to consider TSLA.

That person should have a 10-20 year horizon as a TSLA investor. In which case perusing 15-30 minutes is just fine.

Or that person can follow a few posters he thinks offer the most valuable post.

Or that person should subscribe to a daily newsletter summarizing the days TSLA news.

 

[BioSehnsucht]

I'm French and I didn't even get that! I think you're right...

Well, it was probably less using French as some kind of code and more an old internet meme ... that has waned in popularity, so I can understand not getting it right away. Of course there's the Renault 5 sold as "Le Car" in the US...

 

[Singuy]

Ignore the Model S footage. Some new incite to Munro's 30% margin. So apparently that 30% margin is only achievable according to him if it a Tesla was built from a conventional manufacturing plant with higher efficiency and lower/fewer paid workers. He talks about the complexity of the Model 3's body, but perhaps much is attributed to the model 3 being the safest car in the world.

 

[EinSV]

I AM IN HUGE TROUBLE.

First issue was wife didn't buy my BS when the white seat Model 3 that goes 0-60 in 3.5 was only $35K.

2nd issue is I bought her a MR Model 3 and didn't tell her yet. Was wanting to add an S down the line so we could have S3X.

Couldn't resist the math of the MR versus waiting for the SR.

So now its just 33X. 33X is what I'm going to be if she doesn't take the news well.

Damn you Elon.

My only hail mary is I'm telling my wife I care for her, thus thus the MR 3. If I didn't care I'd get a her a Volvo instead.

(1) Pick-up just before X-Mas
(2) Place large ribbon on hood
(3) Champagne and ice bucket in frunk

Next problem?

Anton "Tesla Killer" Wahlman. The guy who wrote the following piece in 2014:
Audi '15 a8 is a 868-mile-range tesla-killer, and diesel is the secret
(Ignore the headline, since he can't be assumed to have written it).
The guy is just another auto "analyst" who doesn't know *sugar*.

 

[SOULPEDL]

My nephews buddies plate was LOL 35K.

I almost went for "FSD" in Az. Someday...
