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

    Elon's compensation is commensurate with his performance. That is the promise and what he bargained for. The legal issue is whether the company bargained for it. It is a bullshit issue in my view, but the times we live in are not based on contract, but based on wailing cries of victimhood...

    Stories of someone's cracked casting. Should we worry about this?

    In a similar application, motorcycle manufacturers have used large aluminum casted frames for years. My guess is Tesla's processes are of similar quality: and will be similarly crack-free: Frame

    Best tires for 2017 MX

    Note: check rear tire at inboard junction of sidewall and tread...rest of tread can be moderate wear, and at that location, you may have steel sticking out. You really need to look hard with a flashlight and your hand. Have 85K on my 2016 X (love it!) and go thru tires 20-25k miles. On...

    Guys, more food for thought: Byron King, Capt (Ret.) formerly of the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations, with his views about the Ukraine conflict. He doesn't mention the $400 million USD that Zelensky reportedly has skimmed so far, but it is a lot more than the $160 million USD that...

    Elon & Twitter

    I bought my tix on 10/21 and as I recall, the ax fell for lots of folks in the first week in November, so the hate on Elon may have developed since people bought their tix. O, and the woke must have some hate on for Dave after that special, so agree with your post.

    Elon & Twitter

    The cheers far outweighed the boos...but you have to think that the boos that were Twitter lay offs are just tasting the reality of their world collapsing along with hiring at other big techs...my guess is lots of deep bitterness that will last in that crowd.

    Mr. Moderator: an educated opinion about the implications of KSA's admission to BRICS must be more relevant than all the opinions about releases from the SPR, etc. Martyanov ic highly qualified. What gives with the failure to approve this for publication?
