Had to buy another 100 chairs this morning. My SO bought a few herself. Mine are on margin but I'm a long way from poor. Can't believe how cheap these are. Happy Holiday everyone!

Turtle power! Here you go.

Sorry, no. Verified words and actions are facts. They are not positive or negative. Those are opinions. FUD makers can take any facts (or even hearsay) and spin it into what our emotions and feelings interpret as negative, or positive. Let the FUD be the noise and realize that feelings come...

Bought 100 more chairs yesterday. Listened to Elon's Twitter meeting, then Joined Twitter for the first time today. Looking forward to the future!

That might work but it surely depends on how much you feed the cattle.

Thanks for the insight. I believe it's called victim mentality and there's not a simple fix. "A victim mentality is where you often feel like a victim, even when the evidence says otherwise. Signs include frequently blaming others and having trouble accepting personal responsibility." BTW, It...

This is why I believe that aliens might look very much like us. At least those from a planet similar to ours............Elon?

But wouldn't the Teslabot be in constant contact with the server? How to make pasta? Use a vacuum cleaner? Play chess? Repair a zipper? Blinks eyes and downloads the subroutine. Well, maybe not that last one.

Bought chairs three times today, the last 50 at $864.20 after hours. Now I'm well over 100% in Tesla. Happy, Not worried.

I personally think that Elon can do this. All he needs to do is to apply first principles thinking to the human condition. First step in Master Plan Part V: Minimize fear and greed. Maybe I'll start a thread.

Is it possible that the hooks on the Tesla logo predated this latest electric motor design by more than ten years? I don't think the little hooks were in previous motors. It's interesting that the company that designed the logo, RO Studio also introduced Franz von Holzhausen to Elon. Maybe...

I believe that Elon has decided that the Model 2 will not be designed to have a steering wheel or pedals, so further development and rollout will coincide with the success of level 4-5 of FSD. No sense in hurrying up the mechanical parts right now.

Since Tesla has some amazing workers, maybe their employees are destined to revolutionize unions and will usher in a new era in worker success and happiness!

I think I came up with a pretty good shortcut to help driving for the best score. Drive like you are on ice. With regard to turning, stopping, cornering and follow distance! Tried it yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Years ago I was informed by a reliable Porsche dealership source that when the 930 Turbo first came out, most of the cars ended up going into a ditch backwards in the first week of ownership. I'm sure there were deaths. Where's Ralph Nader when you need him?

It is always helpful to ask if an idea helps advance the mission. It would be hard to argue that supercharger expansion and sharing doesn't contribute to the sustainability mission.

Teslas are already in the area of 10 times less likely to catch fire than an ICE car. How much safer do they need to be? 20 times safer...50....1000? At some point it's just better to stay at home. But stay out of the shower!

Sold a few shares back in 2013 to buy my first Model S but haven't sold any shares since. Retired last month after 45years in business with more money than I will ever need. I'm planning to put some funds into what I believe is the next important thing after sustainable energy, regenerative...

Bought 100 at $562 after hours.

Sold the biz after 45 years, emptied the couch and in the past few days I bought shares at $842, 812, 809, 805, 799, 780, 775, 762, 740 and $681. I am thankful for the discounts as I have been all in since 2013. Soon I'll be ready for that island. I do live on one but don't own the whole thing...

Speaking of Tesla AI, has anyone explored how Tesla's AI tools will cross over into other industries? It seems natural that the vision tools will be useful for a vast array of other technologies.

As a VW fan and after working on VW's for more than 50 years, this would put the final in the coffin but the coffin is already in the ground. I'm very disappointed.

I put hydronic heating in the concrete floor of my house built 23 years ago. Currently powered with a $250 instant electric hot water heater. Very stable, clean and comfortable heat with the 23yo windows etc. Also have a masonry wood heater instead of a fireplace that works well when the power...

Of course there won't be any credits when the ICE manufacturers are out of business. That's when Tesla will cease to be profitable. /s

I don't know about you all but the most fascinating thing about these latest videos for me is how human like the driving is. For better and for worse the good decisions and the bad ones are very much what you see every day. To me this really does seem like AI and the child is being trained to...

Drive through Robotaxi or owned vehicle delivery- AM for breakfast in bed. :)

First, take down all the dams!

Here's something to compare to: A History Of GM's Ignition Switch Defect 2001-2014 General Motors Co is grappling with a crisis over its decade-long failure to recall cars equipped with faulty ignition switches. The flaw could cause engines to shut off, leading to a sudden loss of power...

When autopilot first came out, I kept thinking that it would never be as good a driver as I am. Then I thought about myself in my worst moments; distracted, tired, reaching for the water bottle, looking at the woman in the Tesla next to me (I actually hit the car in front of me). My perspective...

Brings up the horse and buggy analogy. ICE will still exist, they just won't be important any more.

I have the answer.......they don't have the money. /s I see HG Wells beat me to the joke.

I believe one of the marks of true genius is when an idea seems obvious after it is presented. Even if the idea is not completely new, the application of a process or design can be revolutionary in it's effect. Example: The tabless cell design. Even if not completely original, the timing and the...

I completely disagree, and I think that despite the tremendous time we spending debating the facts here, the market is largely irrelevant to the success of the company. The stock goes up $100, it goes down $100 and the construction continues.

The best information available says that the tabless design produces less heat to begin with and of course once the heat is transferred to a plate and the coolant, the transfer to ambient air is simply a radiator so the efficiency improvements are in producing less heat to begin with and in heat...

From Electrek Oct 2019 - Plate cooling Tesla patent reveals cooling system in battery packs

Funny thing. I have never cared much about money, but since 2012, I have believed in Tesla and now I have more than I am likely to be able to spend.

Not that this is much of a silver lining but I believe the cost basis is updated at the time of inheritance. Which reminds me, I hope my significant other isn't thinking of bumping me off. A little swing trading today: sold 100 shares at 495 and bought back at 449 and 426.

I've been having this vision of the Uber and taxi drivers being reduced to cleaning the Robotaxis as the only jobs available.

If they have them in the right size, the Nokian WRG4 are an all season tire that is severe service winter rated. Many have an XL load rating. They're hard to beat.

I really think some therapy is in order. It's just not about you. Look into #selfhealers

As I left work on Friday and looked out over the Port of Tacoma I saw thousands of new cars and Trucks parked waiting to be shipped to dealers. All I could think of is "Who is going to buy all those?". I really would not want to be an ICE car dealer or manufacturer right now. Most of them I...

I would agree with everything here except that every day, the Tesla "competition" is looking more inept and further behind. You almost want to feel sorry for them. Almost.

I believe that there are far better places than advertising for Tesla to spend money now and well into the future.

My business CPA asked me why the huge increase in the share price today. I thought for a moment and said "I guess that a lot of people just figured out what I have known since 2012". I had to sell 150 shares today for upcoming taxes, but I am still long with the other 95% of my Tesla shares.

I was reflecting back to 2013 sitting at a table with Dana Hull at Teslive. She quoted me in her article about that event. “Fifty years from now,” Steel said, “people will look back at Tesla and this event and say, ‘This is when the world changed.’ “ I guess she wasn't listening. Teslive...

If everyone here that loves their car posted their own thread, maybe it would be more obvious the the pluses outweigh the minuses. The people who have issues often have their own thread.

I think my AP2 is generally better but the Nav being up all the time is distracting and bothersome. I want my dual screen back.

If you are familiar with the term "hypermiling" it can make a small difference in an ICE car and a HUGE difference in a BEV. You can increase your mileage as much as 50% using these methods.

Nothing to do with the update on my end but recently my AC has not been blowing much air. I tried turning the temp up to say 75deg and it seems to do better. I think it was freezing up. Tesla said they need to look at it.

Electrical failures are the second leading cause of car fires. I'm not sure why Teslas would be immune to those so some fires are to be expected, even "spontaneous" fires. I suspect any non-accident related fires are "spontaneous", and these are common in ICE vehicles. I've had occasional ones...
