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

    Ahh, thanks. Don't know why it switched to the 21" as a default. That's a big relief.

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

    I've checked various twitter feeds as well as threads on TMC and yet I have found no mention of the fact that the Tesla Model S long range is no longer a long range. It has been reduced in range to 375 miles from the former 406. Other models may also have been reduced but the Model 3 lowest...

    Is there a Thai store someplace where a guy could get one of those?

    No, you *can't* reserve 20 Model 3s...

    If you had read my previous posts, you would know that I only expected one priority order. And since I have been an owner and significant shareholder since early 2013 and have followed Tesla religiously, you should know that you not are telling me anything I don't know, and nothing you offered...

    No, you *can't* reserve 20 Model 3s...

    I can and do log in constantly to see if there has been a status change. I have four reservations and one S on the page. The S has status of delivered, obviously. But no, I don't want to hassle with doing a screen capture and removing any data. I can say that there is something else strange...

    No, you *can't* reserve 20 Model 3s...

    The order list has not been purged of those with more than two model 3s ordered from the same email address and credit card. The ordering system failed to provide adequate confirmation that the first order went through, so I ordered a second time and was only slightly more assured that my order...

    Model 3 preorder count

    There could be a reason to reserve now and not expect to get a car for several years. If you reserve now, presumably you lock in the price. It would be totally unfair to up the price before even giving someone who reserved very early an opportunity to buy one. So someone who is financially not...

    Model 3 Reservation Numbers Appearing in My Tesla

    Same for me, except I ordered at 7:25 and again at 7:35 because it didn't seem like my order went through. So now it is nearly 24 hours later and my card has the temporary charge for four cars and I received two emails but nothing on My Tesla page except for my S and the need to schedule a seat...

    Model 3 Reservation Numbers Appearing in My Tesla

    For those who can't get into the site, go to the supercharger page first - if you have it bookmarked. From there you can log into MyTesla.

    Tesla's $200,000,000 Day!!

    Due to the overwhelming response, the server is not responding quickly and may be getting confused, or perhaps it was just me, but I ordered four. I started with two and it took quite a while before it would be accepted. Then, the message to acknowledge did not have as much information (email...

    keeping it plugged in

    There is another thread discussing this issue and it seems there is some disagreement. Each battery has its own purpose and feeds the electrics assigned to it. My understanding was that the primary battery charges the 12v. But like everything people "know" this could be wrong. If true, the...

    Passenger rear door popping open and screen going black

    Yes, I always cut them slack, but I also consider the fact that this was a one off occurrence and it isn't like a hood opening where it could be blown up in your face and obscure vision. A door that came unlatched would be kept from swinging open by the force of air passing by. People drive...

    keeping it plugged in

    The car charges to whatever point you determined was appropriate. At that point, it stops charging. It doesn't start charging again until the battery has drained something more than it will in a day. If the car sits for a long time, keeping it plugged in just ensures the battery doesn't drain...

    Passenger rear door popping open and screen going black

    Mine is an early 2013 P85 so no autopilot, no parking sensors but just this week I was plugging in to charge and the rear passenger door popped open. It shocked me because nothing like that has happened before and there is no way I am aware to replicate it. But interestingly, you mention...

    When is Lutz going to shut up?

    When the model 3 starts delivering, Lutz will suffocate on his own CO. TSLA only needs to endure this decline for a short time longer. Misinformation can only be spewed as long as the product isn't out there to defend itself. The criticism of the S has basically been put to rest and the bears...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    While the notion of people in lines going around the corner at the Tesla stores waiting to reserve a model 3, and of the Tesla website crashing makes for a dramatic statement, if it is realized, I suspect the effect on the stock might not be that overwhelming initially. The real explosion in...

    Long-Term Fundamentals of Tesla Motors (TSLA)

    When the model S came out, a big criticism of a premium car at that price was that it lacked features less expensive cars had. Elon always wants to be a leader in technology and he sees that doing that forces the rest to go along. This is especially true with the electrification of cars, but...

    OK, I think we will just have to see what happens in the immediate future. There will be talk and there may be activity as a result of the talk. It also may be difficult to discern the relationship between the talk and the activity. I guess this is the same as all the talk about the direction...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I'm not sure I follow. You initially suggested that there would be rebound if someone else takes office. Now you are saying you don't think $10 per barrel will have any significant impact. You do you realize how many barrels of oil we consume in this country and what that amounts to times...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    I am fully invested in TSLA. I am down very, very, very big, but still up from where I started. I believe in TSLA or I would have sold a year and a half ago. And even if the short term is painful to observe, I do not think there will be a rebound effect to benefit what I regard as the source...

    That may be, but it sure gets a legitimate discussion going in this election year. Those who oppose will be taking a very clear position against the direction we are headed towards saving the environment. Now is the time to do it since oil is about at the bottom and a third of the price it was a...

    I apologize for utilizing an analogy that steered the thread slightly off course. The container should be empty by now. Let the dog lick it. As to the comments about poor communication, people and companies don't change unless it is a necessity for survival, or maybe they see the light and...

    No, the smaller packages are just to maintain the same price and deliver less product. It is a hidden price increase. Tuna used to be sold in 7 ounce tins and then was reduced by 1/4 ounce at a time until it is only 5 ounces. But the price is the same. It is going on everywhere. The ice...

    When you buy ice cream at a regular ice cream shop, you get ice cream. When you buy ice cream at the grocery, you get emulsifiers and lots of air. What we get here is store bought ice cream. I don't post but I read. I also buy ice cream at the grocery. At least the containers are getting smaller.
