Sample size 1. My wife has a 2020 M3p with FSD free trial and one of the worst commutes in the Bay Area (Walnut Creek to Redwood City). She was always satisfied with autopilot on highway for her needs. But for $99 she will be a subscriber. She was shocked at how well it does and the pace of...

So long as their antiquated equipment continues causing epic and fatal fire storms I think our rates will continue in the same direction. Sadly it’s the rate payers who are on the hook now for increased rates not the PGE shareholders as they’ve been paying dividends instead of upgrading their...

It adds 2 or 3 minutes per charging session for me to park my trailer before I charge. Granted that’s a small utility trailer (so hooking up is easy); but it’s just a minor inconvenience for me. I take more issue with the fact that lane keep doesn’t work while towing than I do with a lack of...

That’s not my experience. When 11.X became available to all; I subscribed for 2 separate road trips. I think we all agree that pricing may be unnecessarily high for FSD in part to limit participation. When V12.X or 13 etc. is more reliable and available everywhere, I’d expect the price could...

Brooks over at Dragtimes YouTube channel got his hands on a cybertruck. I like his style; not overly dramatic. My question is, how long until it gets at least autopilot. I’ve come to be quite a snob about not driving without Autopilot or FSD.

That’s awesome. My son was also fascinated by that illustration of boring operations. But I was actually talking about the tanks he talks about later in the video, not the ones in the video thumbnail. The tanks I’m talking about are new, massive, stainless steel tanks, right next to the main...

Joe Tegtmeyer (sp?) has been doing these incredibly well informed drone fly overs over giga Texas for some time now. He has a relatively unknown channel; but I do think it’s pertinent for us investors. Things are moving FAST at giga Texas. My opinion, we should give him some love if...

Weekend OT. I’ll try to make this brief since it’s really just one person‘s experience but my son sent me this video, and then came home and him and his three friends just couldn’t shut up about how this guy let them open the tonneau cover, stand on the cover, sit inside… As he called, it do...

Today Walnut Creek Tesla rep reached out to inform me they now have dual motor available for test drive. Really happy to see them following up with prospective buyers; I like no pressure, but some people do need to be reminded that these things are readily available and Tesla is eager to move...

Meanwhile GM is up 9% today on “strong earnings outlook for 2024” 🤷‍♂️ according to business insider.

Who cares. It should be called the ‘woke’. What a missed opportunity; in 2024 no less. It’s an obvious mix between a wheel and a yoke…and we went with squircle? I’m so disappointed!

I was impressed with all those things and the exterior aesthetics, as well as the quality of the materials and especially the seats. My problem was the pricing (value) and the tech which seems to be extremely weak, especially the Mercedes assistant (à la Siri). Which you have to use because the...

Ouch, down 30% in pre market trading for mobileye (MBLY). Based on weak ‘24 guidance due to inventory glut. Anybody know who they sell to? Is it just Waymo now that Cruise is sinking? https://www.investors.com/news/technology/mbly-stock-crashes-on-weak-2024-outlook/

I hadn’t seen this posted. Autoline interview with Sandy Munro. I love listening to John McElroy and he tends to get good and diverse guests. I haven’t listened to the whole thing yet. If I hear anything important and get a chance I’ll come back and share...

Problem with that is; posters like artful and unk often add color to the posts here. I’d hate to have to go elsewhere for that commentary. Just ignore and scroll brotha. Ignore and scroll.

A Grease gun with a needle adapter ($20 at kragen) every 30k miles keeps the mechanic away on those ball joints. Ask me how I know. No different than any other car. There’s gonna be failure points. people just love to point out Tesla failure points because people like me make such a big deal...

After years of babying my emergency gas generator; and knowing that my incoming (hopefully soonish) cybertruck will be capable of bidirectional charging I have to decided to have a powerwall (and gateway?) installed, to go along with our existing solar system. I placed the online order last...

They even added a sub trunk in the vault and called it the “smugglers bay”. When you know, you know.

I’m not too surprised by Loooocid being removed. But sadly Enphase is also on that list for being removed. I have/had high hopes for ENPH. Looks like the downside will likely persist.

So; will we be able close it from the touchscreen while driving🤞? That would be handy; or if it will auto close at certain speeds if no obstruction is detected (maybe after a screen confirmation).

A good friend of mine is a department head at one of the local Tesla factories. Today I texted him if he would pretty please give me a ride in his new “Beast”. He laughed, and said, he wants one BAD, but that Elon told them if they want one, “get in line with everyone else…” To me, this puts...

Snow or crime are the only reasons I can think of in which garage space could be a dealbreaker. I hated living in the snow because I couldn’t keep my truck clean (yeah I’m that guy) and if there was that much crime in my neighborhood I’d move. I can only pray they call my number soon and I...

We visited Santana row. I’m feeling quite confident in my investment. Thanks to all. Edit: I was hoping to see @ZeApelido aka JC, aka EM. But sadly just a bunch of other Elon/TSLA/Tesla FanMen. ‘Twas a bit of a sausagefest 🤷‍♂️

Sorry OT. My son and I went for the first test flight. It was an amazing experience for both of us. We’re gonna go again, once they really get this thing working. Next time I’ll book a room at the Margaritaville resort. The @nasaspaceflight folks had rooftop cameras set up there; and the beach...

Bankruptcy 🤣. Jk.. obviously TSLA will triple in ‘23!! Wrong thread? I really do enjoy reading this thread; y’all have cojones of steel and always seem to be right. Never posted here before as I have nothing to add as evidenced above. I’ll go back in to read only mode. Sorry, for the...

Hot off the press; out of spec, THE best when it comes to EV reviews. He’s the OG (sorry Tesla bjorn)…with EV reviews. TL;DW. ”Highland model 3 is the best car in the world”. Shocker, I know.

I read somewhere that the ultra red is just an extra coat of the previous (current 3/Y) red. I couldn’t find the link for that. I would expect that the stealth grey is just an extra coat of the previous grey. I love the added depth of the new red (almost enough to trade my lifetime free...

🤣 just like their auto manufacturer…they’re terrible also; no redeeming qualities, going to ZERO!

Incorrect. Fremont is most certainly not ‘way out in the Eastbay’. It’s directly positioned in between Oakland and San Jose in the heart of the San Francisco Bay area and has some of the highest home values other than the peninsula. Maybe you’re thinking of Lathrop. That’s more of a Central...

In the Bay Area it’s not uncommon to see 20 teslas at one intersection. And I’ve seen less than a dozen teslas on a flat tow since I began keeping records (read: buying TSLA) in 2018 . IMO Flat tires followed by dead batteries are the most likely reason for a tesla on a flat tow. I don’t see a...

So as the charging networks expand, the minimum viable range for EVs will come down. And if some of the super bulls are right, and gas stations start to fade into extinction soon… Their minimum viable range will increase. 🍿

I don’t have a lot to add to this. Good to see us getting something right here in California. I’m so sick of hearing about how prohibitively expensive the clean energy subsidies are, while everyone in MSM ignore the (🐘 in the room) Oil/Gas subsidies. {According to senate.gov; “fossil fuel...

TSLA down 1.5% and GM up 2% on news of a UAW strike 🤷‍♂️

This just in. The GOAT on the all in podcast live. In flight!

Pretty good video actually. And the car really does seem extremely quiet. I found it amusing at the 7:00 mark the reviewer states as fact “electric vehicles are not as good for towing as diesel powered vehicles”. If range is your only metric, sure. But I prefer performance and efficiency as...

Weird. I needed a loaner a few months back; I got a plaid S just by saying I was remotely interested in upgrading my X for a new one. Got to keep it for a week. That was a glorious week…so many test launches given; I’ve got a real sense of 0-85 in that thing (it’s speed limited). The cream...

According to @Papafox, MaxPain for today is $245. As a casual watcher of the daily TSLA ticker and the daily papapfox trading chart thread I am not surprised by the price movement, not. even. a little bit. I AM a bit surprised so many are attributing todays price movements to the m3 release...

Any news on VWAG? VW down 5.5% today; maybe they’ve also disrupted one of their core products with an even better product at nearly the same price, and likely at higher margins. Or maybe more C suites headed to prison. Hard to know with these guys. Edit; maybe due to this “rare sell rating”...

Yup 👍

I like to follow Cory on the stocks channel for astrology…he is usually pounding the table about filling gaps below; but his analysis was pretty bullish from todays action. Paraphrasing; gaps that are island reversals on high volume are an exception to the gap filling rule. This gap could...

Do not test drive one! That is my advice. I got one as a loaner when my car was in the shop a few months ago… 2023 model S plaid with cream interior; if I wasn’t hodl’ing cash for my cybertruck, I’m not sure what would’ve happened. That car is spectacular.

It was a joke. Thusly the following line is “seriously though”.

Have you met people? Seriously though; this isn’t much of a walking city, and that’s an incredibly congested area that connects 2 busy highways in the center of the bay area at rush-hour. People try to minimize their following distance so they don’t lose their “place in line”. We clearly had...

This 💯% I had somehow never noticed that the dash cam didn’t mark the AEB event for the dash cam footage. As soon as I saw the footage; and how little stop time there was; I figured it was the AEB. The lady was a bit older and didn’t strike me as someone with formula 1 reaction time. But...

Yeah, I know; I recorded it. I just wish I had captured the whole screen but at the time I was just trying to get the video footage to show to the trauma doc. (Everyone was pretty impressed that I was able to quickly locate the dash cam footage) But I’m curious why it didn’t indicate that the...

I needed this today. Tough week for my investments, but it’s always nice to have a little bit of a reminder of how critical the mission is. The driver of this car said she never saw the kid, and the car braked on its own… I’m pretty sure the kids gonna be fine with just a few scratches on the...

If the SR S/X are using a software locked battery; that should allow Tesla to sell people a pure margin software unlock for additional range. If they are using LFP cells to make that pack; this is even more better for margin methinks! Since S/X don’t qualify for IRA anyway. I would love to...

Sorry: weekend off topic… X is auctioning off all their furniture from the Twitter HQ in SF. Lots of cool stuff there actually; I’m gonna see if I can’t pick up a sofa or 2. Maybe I can find some dry powder in the cushions…wish me luck 🍀🤞 Edit; they allow “viewings”; so, I’m going to check for...

Portfolio fees +7.6%?! Thanks for the clarity @The Accountant.

Fun opening today; but it looks like Wally prefers to see the PPI report tomorrow before they hang the “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” banner.
