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

    Maybe Elon is heading off any antitrust talk with the SuperCharging network firings. It is by far the biggest network. I assume many of those fired people would be valued by the other charging network companies. This would allow them to ramp. Maybe Buffalo will be a third-party manufacturer...

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

    I got mine too! January 21, 2013. VIN# 3101. Delivered to my work as there were no open service centers in Georgia yet.

    What I hope to see… On August 8th, the robotaxi and its manufacturing processes will be unveiled, and everyone will be amazed. But it will not be released until the end of 2025, at the earliest. In the meantime, Tesla needs sell more cars and FSU needs the miles to continue to improve. So...

    I'm skeptical: financial viability of Tesla-exclusive rideshare service

    I drive for Uber & Lyft in a 2012 Model S. Been thinking about the August 8 announcement about robotaxi and wondering whether a Tesla driving app will be mentioned at that time too. I think Tesla could easily offer a one year lease on a Model 3 or Model Y with unlimited miles with FSD. Tesla...

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

    I bought a 2012 Model S new, many years ago. After about 5 or so years of ownership, the electric motor whine became apparent. I currently drive the car with Uber. I find riders in my Ubers either do not mind or like the sound.

    How many miles on original battery ?

    I have a 2012 Model S with original battery and motor. 138,000+ miles on car. Lost around 10% of range over the last 12 years. I’m in Georgia. Early on, I ran the battery to zero several times due to inexperience and lack of SuperChargers. But the car kept running until I was able to made...

    “BMS u019 Acceleration reduced” any shops in LA to change battery contactors - pyro fuse?

    I have a 2012 Model S 85. As noted in the attached image, I have 136,110 miles on the car. Original battery and motor and I have lost around 30 miles in range. I have been using the car for Uber the last several months so I have been putting more daily miles on the battery then in years...

    I created a registry for 2012 Model S VINs

    I am interested in the spreadsheet as I want to know the best number of 2012 cars produced. Currently the highest number listed is 3265. I received my 2012 Model S on January 21st, 2013 and my vin ends in 3101. Also want to know how many have been wrecked and are out of service.

    My 2012 MS 85 that used to fully charge to 260 is now charges to around 228. So lost 32 miles in 10 years

    I created a registry for 2012 Model S VINs

    Since I have VIN 3101, the over 3,100 produced for the year is the more important statement to me. What is the actual number produced? Using the limited data in the spreadsheet, VIN# 3265 is the last 2012 model produced.

    I created a registry for 2012 Model S VINs

    I am interested in this information and will add my vin to the VINwiki list. I took delivery of my 2012 MS in January 2013 so I got one of the last produced. My VIN is over 3000. I also feel there is value in a 1/2 year model year of a car and would love to know how many 2012 Model S’s are...

    I am unable to option trade in my ROTH. As I understand how Limited Margin works, it allows me to buy and sell stock the same day without waiting for settlements. So, I am looking for anyone’s daily trading strategies. If I recall, maybe improperly, some people used to purchased in the...

    I am a 2012 Tesla MS owner and long-term share holder. I used to read this thread daily but once Tesla started being profitable, moved to Twitter instead. Was never much of a poster. The vast majority of my shares sit in a Roth IRA. But what I own is pretty insignificant to what many y’all...

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

    Hey, I am a 2012 Model S owner, TESLA investor and, at times, too much of a reader of this particular thread. I don’t get around in the other parts of this website too much. My Model S is beginning to act like your 7 year old laptop. Is there a thread in this site where this is discussed?

    I voted for Bernie in the primary and Clinton in the election. Scapegoating Bernie supporters is wrong. What I hear from people is that they just didn’t like Hillary.

    I have a brother in law who works for Cox Enterprises which is a private company. It is through that relationship and also being from metro Atlanta, I kinda pay attention to news concerning them. I find it very interesting that they basically own the wholesale used car processing business...

    Market politics

    I have been thinking along those lines too. I don't think Biden is strong enough. It all depends on the message the Democratic party starts putting out that includes the 'whole' party. But I am resigning myself to Trump having another 4 years. Supreme court is ****ed if that happens.

    For better or worse, I have been enjoying The Hill these last few months. Wasn’t really aware of it before then. They noted today that both Warren & Buttigieg are running low on funds and maybe won’t be able to stay in the race that much longer.

    It’s actually pretty funny. What are Texans going to do when the CyberTruck is built in Texas but they can’t purchase in Texas. Dealers laws keeping Tesla out won’t last for long. All it takes is a tweet.

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

    I agree. Before purchasing my 2012 MS, I drove a F150. CyberTruck has grown on me and I have put down a deposit but I'm waiting for a 3-seater. The specs are what really sold me. Twice the mileage for 10's of thousands less.

    I think 1st generation Cybertruck will be folded stainless-steel but 2nd generation will be something else that is easier to scale.

    Until there is further confirmation that Trump actually spoke to Elon, I will put his comment on that in the neutral category. And as for building a big factory in the USA, Trump's last couple of sentences could be construed more as a wish then a fact. And keep Trump away from Space X.

    Haven’t been paying too close attention to the whole Bernie/Warren thing but this idea came into my mind. Think this is strategic. Bernie really is too old. But Warren sees Bernie doing well in the primaries and potentially getting the Dem nomination. So, I think she is jockeying for the VP...

    Shorting Oil, Hedging Tesla

    Just from reading this tread and some of its’ links, it is my guess there is will be less oil produced in 2020 (at least in the USA) because of less money flowing into fracking. Am I understanding this correctly?

    What other tech stock to consider?

    My business does a few international transactions every quarter and I have always hated the $25.00 international wire transfer fee my bank charges me. Several years ago I stumbled upon Veem, which works outside of the bank’s network. Just like PayPal, transactions are between checking accounts...

    I don’t know if it is still true but when the state of Georgia finally made it the law to wear seat belts, (something about getting federal highway funds, I think), they exempted pick-up trucks. Go figure.

    What TSLAQ just doesn’t understand is that the narrative started to change 4 to 6 months ago. And it should stay on this more positive narrative for a while.

    Exactly. Maybe Biden did something illegal. But to think Republicans and Trump *sugar* don’t stink and they haven’t done anything wrong is delusional.
