    I would like "Quotes from William O'Neil's bestselling book" for 100 please Alex... Who is Nathan Rothschild? For the win. w00t! When I came across that sentiment way back in '89 or '90, I liked it so much that I printed it out and framed it. And I've still got it here in my den. =)

    Repurposing an electric oven 40A circuit for charging

    Great question. That makes me wonder about my unused electric dryer outlet too. Although I think dryers use less juice than ovens. How about it, anybody in the know?

    Tesla Stores

    First off, let me be the first to say welcome to the TeslaMotorsClub forums. Well then, that seems to me that vehicle manufacturers have already set a precedent as far as "galleries" go for showing off the company products. Thank you kaisen. Cheers =)

    Huge THANK YOU to existing owner

    Well something in these two comments triggered the "Evil Genius" part of my brain. What if Tesla has already factored in the costs of any potential lawsuits and really is just considering it as part of their marketing budget? I think that well done "Service Centers" could fill the need for any...

    Yep! That's a factor that is at the forefront of my mind. Right now I'm less than 5% invested in all things TSLA. And for the near term I certainly do expect continued uncertainty from investors. But I'm ready to raise my stake at the drop of a hat. (A Tesla hat that is!) And for the longer term...

    I agree that there are many, many reasons for TSLA to go up. But at this critical point in time, there is also plenty good reason for it to not go up. Right now there are many hurdles that they have to clear. I personally believe that they will be successful (or perhaps it's just my optimistic...

    I saw M.P. & the Holy Grail for free as a sneak preview in 1975. I was just a young teenager and thought it was a riot.

    No Power Folding Mirrors for the Model S in the future.

    If you're going 100 mph, then what's behind you is not so important.:rolleyes: (Unless it's the police. And that's the only traffic citation I've gotten in over 30 years. But hey, I was driving my AMG and it was in the desert for crying out loud!)

The stock price rose back up to...

    No Power Folding Mirrors for the Model S in the future.

    Sorry Bonnie but your post did have a very slight snark factor. But after re-reading it I realized why; you didn't include an emoticon for confused: :confused:. I think that would have cancelled out any hint of snarkness. (is that even word?)

    My New Model S by Soflauthor (First 24 Hours and then 1 week later...)

    Whoa, I hate to show my noobness but to hear (er, read) that there are programmable steering wheel buttons is awesome. That was the only feasible response that came to mind when I first heard about the "glass" cockpit (all touchscreen, that is). I desire tactile feedback to facilitate actuating...

    No Power Folding Mirrors for the Model S in the future.

    While I love my fold-in mirrors and use them about 90% of the time, if I didn't have them I probably wouldn't mind too much. But with this being such a high ticket item, I can understand people's consternation. However... perhaps Tesla is not too concerned about it because they're closer than...

    Well they are two entirely different risks. And I'll be the first to admit that buying calls can be an exciting game to play, but just be aware that there is a pretty high likelihood of the stock not reaching that price in a short time frame. And if you hold your position up to expiration, you...

    In spite of all the manufacturer's claims, Tesla's the real innovator

    I would expect that most if not all of the items that are normally standard on vehicles in this price range will start to be included in the not too distant future. Right now it's much more important that they're working on smoothing out the bigger concerns. As long as they have a certain amount...

    Options can be looked at in different ways. A few are: as Insurance; Locking in profits, Limiting losses, or Gambling.

    Okay, so there is one really poor person buying a model S.

    How about a Roth 401(k)? I like that idea. Also, does your employer offer a Roth 401(k) option? If they do then you can still benefit from the 100% matching aspect. By the way, I LOVE my Roth IRA! I have it in a self-directed brokerage with level 2 options trading approval. I opened it 10...

    As long as they can keep the quality up and resolve any problems quickly when they do arise with the end user, then I believe that we all have a winner here. For me, all of press reports that are appearing now that the S is populating the roads is enough to drive sales for the near term.
