If I were him, I'd borrow the cash on margin (<= 2% through M1 Finance or Interactive Brokers) to buy his Y since it's only 10% of his portfolio and pay it down over 5 years.

I'd like to see one in India. Large population, high pollution, high import duty on vehicles, skilled workforce.

April 20 Battery Investor Day?

I've seen a few people mention the possibility of a JV between Tesla and GM/MB but what about Toyota? I haven't seen any real efforts by them towards electrification and autonomous driving. Given their history of working together and seeing how far behind they are, I think it would make sense...

What's your VIN? I picked mine up in Tampa on Feb 12th with VIN 60xx. At 302 miles driven, the car became inoperable after a software update and shortly lost 12V power afterwards. I pick up my car tomorrow from the service center and they said it was due to a fault in the rear drive unit. I'm...

I pick up the car tomorrow but here's what the service center said about the issue:

22" Silver Turbines with Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico tires. Live in Tampa, FL. Haven't towed anything yet, just bike rack. Did a road trip up to Chicago in July and another to Atlanta when it was coldish (40s). Also have active spoiler.

I have an appointment tomorrow with the SC to determine why the middle seat makes a cracking sound when moved forward (you can hear it in the video). Tonight, I decided to test whether it still made the sound and in the process, discovered that the cupholder gets opened by the seat. At the time...

I had turn signal issues 2-3 months in where it was blinking fast. They had to replace the fog light assembly.
