This fiasco is a lot more entertaining as its own thread. Also: I should hope that Tesla does not "indorse" anything... :):)

Might bother me if I had natural gas, but my house is all electric. If I had rates like you guys out there, I'd be in trouble.

"Insanely low" is a matter of perspective. I'll take my $0.01/kWh Super Off-Peak, thankyouverymuch🪙:cool:

Holy hell, man! Those rates are crazy-go-nuts BONKERS. Here's the GA Power BEV TOU plan: And the people here complain about high rates, and needing to pay a tariff to bring Vogtle 3&4 reactors online. I may not agree with my neighbors on a lot of politics, but I'll certainly take these...

Don't worry, I will. I have two little ones to care for, and I'm not about to trade their stability for an investment, even if it does seem to be a very good one on a long term basis.

20 more at $107. Really wish I had more to deploy right now. Touching the emergency fund looks tempting, but pretty sure that could be a divorce-inducing event (which is incredibly problematic as the wife is a divorce attorney). Trying to figure out if I regret buying my MY outright in...

Sure, I'm not saying it's NOT confusing. Personally, I find it awkward, and it still leads to misunderstandings. I'd be all for gender neutral pronouns, but they never seem to take off.

Descriptivist grammar always ends up winning out over prescriptivist grammar, in the end. Language changes through use. The singular "they" is here. The ship has sailed.

Yeah, unfortunately, it didn't do the trick for me. Still on 2022.40.4.1. Joy. Thanks, though; it was worth a try!

Is it just me, or is Elon SO much more reasonable and rational sounding in a long form format? When he's talking and explaining things he comes across so much better than in certain short formats with character limits....

Ah ha! I was just in the regular Service menu, not the Service Mode. Thanks!

Do you mean the "Factory Reset"? I don't see a "Reinstall Software"

No, they haven't. Remember, the Fed isn't looking at the stock market as their main concern. The stock market =/= the economy in the short and medium term. Just like TSLA performance =/= Tesla performance in the short and medium term. Their main goals are total employment and controlling...

Edit: Weird weird weird. This post quoted the wrong post originally. I must have hit the wrong button. Fixed: No margin for me ever, ever, ever. I have no crystal ball, and I have enough other things going on in my life that can distract me from daily monitoring of my portfolio. Maybe I'm...

In for 200 more at $129.50... Here's to hoping it all works out!

You're confusing your illicit liquors, sounds like you're talking about bathtub gin. Moonshine is made way out in the woods, far from the tax man's prying eyes. 🌑 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳⚗️🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

As always, thanks for an awesome post, Gigapress. The section quoted above was the most thought provoking for me. The headwinds against Japanese market penetration never really popped up in my mind in thinking of Tesla, even though I'm aware of the 70s and the impact of the Japanese market...

So says the software "engineer". Better than an industrial "engineer", I suppose. Just some light ribbing from an EE, don't be too angry. :)

Look man, sometimes we can't find a company that meets ALL of our goals. Doesn't mean we can't have aspirations for some of our current investments. I think I'm going to pass on this one, Stealth. I wouldn't want my purchases to drive up the price of those great investment opportunities...

If we're going to discourse, at least lets do so fairly. He didn't say there should be a LAW that you should Be the Elon You Want to See in the world. Though, I'm not one myself and I don't know what a (non)card carrying Libertarian might say, I doubt they're prohibited from having opinions on...

🤦‍♀️

I wasn't make a case about share price, but about the fundamentals. From a brand perception standpoint, it's probably better to steer clear of the social noise and focus on results. Certainly not as important as the results themselves, but brand reputation can have an affect on sales.

I agree that it is hard, close to unknowable, to exactly determine how much the current non-vehicle related issues impact buying decisions on a macro level. However, what about a thought experiment? Situation 1 - How conceivable is it that an individual with moderately to strongly held...

Does anyone know if it is possible to have two phones connected via bluetooth simultaneously: one for phone calls and one for audio? In my previous daily driver (2012 Prius), I could tell the car to connect, say, my personal cell phone for audio streaming and my work cell phone for phone calls...

No "true" Scottsman.....

Because I'm here to learn, and because I'm not too ashamed to admit ignorance; in the words of a great scientist: "Ray, pretend for a moment that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on." By which, I mean, this is gobbledygook...

Quite possibly. It does seem to be settling to a definite "yes".

Yeah, surprised. Maybe I'll be wrong. Still 11 hours left. We'll see where it sits at the end.

The chances of the vote going "yes" are low, would be my guess. I'm surprised it's as close as it is right now (like 47.something to 52.something for the "No"). Twitter is now disproportionally (at least to some degree) populated by folks who are pro-Elon or who couldn't care less about Elon...

So, it's not super straight forward, but is possible. I move funds (or allocate future contribs) into a "personalized investment" bucket in Transamerica retirement acct, which go into a Schwab settlement fund, then I can buy from there. Its not user friendly, but works.

FWIW, my 401K began offering ability to do individual stocks this year. I don't have the cojones like some here to go all in with my retirement, but I did end up moving like 1/6 of current balance in. have a larger pct of my discretionary investments in TSLA, though.

This is exactly what I mean. Whats the difference? Technique? The hardware itself? Its weird.

Its just odd to me, the variation in people's nag annoyance. From ATL to Augusta last weekend, I only got one in 3 hrs. Why is it so easy for some to satisfy and difficult for,others?

But, does he know Elon has sold?? And if so, is this some sort of insider info if Elon has not disclosed the sales? Is that allowed? $35B seems like a crazy amount for him to unload....

The point being he was doing something other than fully engaging, possibly. Like it or not, that's "out of bounds" for the beta test. The system erring on the side of caution right now doesn't seem to be a legitimate fault, just conservative.

I guess somewhat related to this, I've noticed that it sometimes misses speed limit signs (not SUPER frequently, but noticeable enough) and/or is only using outdated map speed limits sometimes. Is there a way to just tell the system it's wrong? Like a voice command "The speedlimit is xx"? I...

That would certainly be way out of line. What will be interesting is the level of "attention" notices / strikes once the system is no longer billed as "beta", though, I think they're going to keep that "beta" tag on there for a long, long time.

Right. In both of these cases, your attention is divided between driving and other tasks. You're signed up as a beta tester. Their rule is to pay attention. How much are these activities detracting from your ability to monitor the road? I don't know. Is it an overreaction? Maybe? I don't...

Almost seems like it might think that you fiddling with a device unrelated to your drive is a form of distraction or something. How odd.

FWIW, as I mentioned previously on this thread, my 2023 MYLR, picked up on 11/11, built in Austin in October works just fine with the flaps. Perfect fit. I ordered them directly from the Tesla store online. YMMV, but I think the "not compatible" message is a mistake.

I have a lot of different investments already, not just TSLA. I do a a significant (for my net worth) amount of TSLA, but I'm just too "conventional", I guess, to put all of my eggs in one basket. I think TSLA is great, but the future is unknowable. What unforeseen events could occur that...

I'm convinced that Elon's presentation must always start with music that sounds like it comes from the early 90s Demoscene

I mean, that's not just the case in California. That's basic pedestrian safety... walk or run AGAINST traffic. Now bicycles, on the other hand, are vehicles, and need to follow the rules of the road.

Fair enough, everything else looks ugly. Not 4 days after Thanksgiving, and I'm already forgetting to be grateful. Put me in the penalty box! :)

Really, friend, did you *have* to go and post that??? :) Gains erased. :(

I have FSD bought up front on my Y. I don't have beta yet, as I am on 2022.40.4.1. You'll likely be waiting for more than those 100 miles. It's looking like beta won't come for people on 2022.40 until v11 rolls out sometime (hopefully) next month.

I have a 2023 Austin Y. Just put in the OEM mud flaps a couple of hours ago. They fit 100% fine.

You almost certainly do not have FSD v11 at this point. What you're probably seeing is the UI v11. What build are you on? The 2022.xx.x number. If you were already on 2022.40.x.x you'll likely be waiting until FSD v11 goes out to the public, as FSDb isn't available on 2022.40.4.x and...

So, I'm still waiting on FSDb, as I'm on 2022.40.4.1, but I have a question for those of you in the beta... How does it do with single flashing yellow lights, like are put around some curves, fire stations etc. Autopilot freaks on on me around these. It interprets them as full traffic lights...

Ok, so adding more sensors to the steering wheel then? The only way it has to know as of now is torqueing. My opinion may be biased in that I've never experienced this "needing to tug hard" thing in my car. I generally just keep a hand on the wheel with a light grip and resist the car's...
