F it, after this shareholder meeting and that comment on market cap, I'm committed for the long-long-term again. I'm going to only take fractional amounts for donations and dividends at certain share price points.

SpaceX could literally buy them all and have them build the self-sustaining civilization on Mars before humans get there, no?

Tbh, kinda need to be in this company and with Elon talking about $1T in revenue.

Well, we do all have different scenarios my friend :)

Maybe the Boomers want the money now because the Gen Z and Millenials are going to waste it on Avocado Toast where as the multi-time homeowners, i.e. the Boomers, can help funnel money to builders for sustainable products and housing en masse ... as well as ... towards space-faring...

If he gets humanity to Mars, which has a much higher chance of happening now than anytime in Earth history...I, personally, think he can have all the money ever.

My cost basis, of the holdings left, is $2-3 / share!

I don't understand what the value is of being the World's Richest Person. Is it just ego gratification for some? Edit: Musk has said he doesn't care about it, so why is it important to so many others?

...and, then, I would have rebought in large sums at this level of TSLA :D

After a few days off from here and vacation last week - just want to say I would have sold TSLA years ago if it wasn't for this forum. Looking forward to the next 5 years of, hopefully, growth.

Honestly, I'm still waiting on TSLA @ $500+. Major tranche for my DAF is awaiting.

Hi Folks, I did a little research using...Google! I checked Google News and did a search for "tesla" based on relevance for specific time periods (monthly and quarterly). Here's what I found from a general sense of the top 5-10 articles in those searches: Monthly: January: Q4/2023 Deliveries...

https://benjamintseng.com/2024/05/my-two-year-journey-to-home-electrification/ ^ cool blog post on electrifying the entire home and the gaps in the market in order to do so

Re-posting this here too as it relates to how much effort was put into this factory over Tesla in recent years, IMO. Elon is back in Tesla and shoring up efficiencies again. 2 years from now is going to be pretty dang epic if they reach the anywhere close to 1 Starship a day.

They're trying to get to 1 Starship per day! https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-one-a-day-starfactory

Congratulations to Elon Musk, Tesla team, customers, and all the investors that supported them into this moment.

Surprised this hasn't been posted. I'm currently investigating the cost (and if its even possible as my installation is ready to be scheduled) and will report back what I hear: https://www.span.io/tesla-powerwall-3

Seems like a good thing https://www.span.io/tesla-powerwall-3

Back from vacation anddd this is new - picked up in a Gold Model S from Uber!

I'm sorry, I think you have me confused with Google Search.

Sure, Airplay if you have Apple TV

Im vacationing, but felt like chiming in: We are potentially having a skyscraper sized rocket land in two separate sections after getting to Space (!!). The disgruntled topic is going through a few more clicks (at max) in order to view this event?!

https://www.jdpower.com/business/press-releases/2024-us-oem-ev-app-report I think there's a tremendous opportunity in the mobile app once Robotaxi is real and Tesla has a widely adopted app in the broader public. Further, the app is probably going to create growth/cross-sell opportunities for...

Superb article on Tesla's home charging setup and some stats: https://www.topspeed.com/tesla-home-charger/

If it helps - it looks like, hopefully, I will be an Electrical Panel and Solar contribution to Q2 revenue.

...what if they license it out and burgeon for the development of other competitors in the space like Waymo and Cruise, as an example? Wouldn't they be growing the robotaxi market through pay-for-ride service while, also, doubling up on the revenue from licensing out FSD?

Actually, that should be a good thing for TSLA too. Bigger ecosystem of competitors in a space grows the entire market and TAM...which means analysts needs to re-analyze the TAM and make it larger to fit everyone in as that shows demand past just one player. It's not like TSLA was going to have...

If we're going to attack semantics on my posts regularly, please re-read before you make assumptions. I never mentioned my interpretation on his voiced intentions is Earth or Mars. I'm just interpretating his words about going to Mars. I would highly doubt if someone of his caliber of...

Mars. He just wants to go to Mars.

Here's TSLA's P/S and Market Cap over recent quarters. Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/key-statistics With everything they're accomplishing in FSD, Robotics, Autobidder, etc... Some P/S Ratios (most recent): MSFT: 13.58 GOOG: 7.01 AAPL: 7.78 AMZN: 3.23 NVDA: 33.28 META: 8.83...

I mean, you could go further and include software services sales like Track Mode, FSD, etc. on the current fleet and future fleet too. One could assume a 10x+ multiple on P/S if software margins reach 30%+ which is typical of a SW tech company.

Honestly - I think its an easy path to $2T market cap at this point with a 7-8x multiple on P/S because one is assuming $250B in annualized revenue (which they're at $100B already with multiple gigafactories and megafactories to go). So, $650 / share is a peace of cake IMO, its a matter of...

A person makes one mistake...yeesh

https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-do-ev-batteries-last Some great info in this report:

There's going to be another stop on the Vegas Loop opening up soon. The tunnels are getting prettyyyyy close to the airport now.

2 million passengers have ridden in the Vegas Boring loop now. It was a little over 1 year ago when they reached 1 million passengers.

Good articles on a potential avenue to make SSA solvent and expand to what could be considered a nationwide UBI...that is, get rid of / tax the 401k: https://mishtalk.com/economics/will-a-money-hungry-government-take-away-your-ira-and-401k/...

Hi - from my vantage point - in startups and product development, one builds towards an eye on satisfying customer needs in the beginning (get that first customer, then 5, then 10, 25, 100, 1000, etc.). Only a very few know what customers are going to end up wanting before they build it over a...

I really appreciate this thread. My kitchen ceiling lights are blinking in the mornings after the car finishes charging overnight over the past 1-2 weeks ... 3-4 months after completion of a big remodel. Also, 1-2 of my new kitchen AFCI breakers, on a subpanel installed during that remodel...

So, I was reading through the thread this weekend... Can anyone hear make sense of the increase in copper demand and lack of supply (due to electrification): https://www.greencarcongress.com/2024/05/20240520-ief.html ...while having an enormous battery glut soon (due to electrification)...

Fantastic!

I think, from a growth perspective, they should bring back the Safety Score and show it on the app...but with and without FSD enabled. Further - there ought to be a public dashboard showing the efficacy of Safety across the entire fleet using that score IMO.

I did some reading back when Standard Oil became a thing. Anyone else think this era is kinda like the Gilded Age of the 1890's, but with the Internet...and with the learnings of the 1st Gilded Age baked in? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilded_Age

I think removing the nudge was not only a signal, but going to be a huge improvement in how FSD feels while its in enabled.

Well, all my custom Google searches around FSD, Restaurant, and Las Vegas Loop are basically non-existent or full or trash results over the past 2 weeks. No one's reporting on the latter two. For FSD, its just a ton of hearsay, rumors, and crapola.
