Do not know which is more exciting; These cybertruck sightings or seeing the semi in real action working for TESLA. Next it will be the bots working for Tesla. Who cares where the stock price or current profit margins are: HODL.Zangler comes through again!

Do you, or others here, genuinely consider this a relevant gamble? If so, I think EV's actual futures might look very different than what I see. I consider Tesla the premier EV battery manufacturer (even if Panasonic is involved) with the most longevity research, data and control (via OTA). If Tesla is producing their current generation vehicles that well-informed people still consider a "gamble" after 5 years of ownership, I would have to question my investment thesis.
I've read much FUD on this topic, yet I personally consider the probability of a battery replacement within 200K miles less likely (ie gamble) than I would consider an engine failure that would cost equal or greater than said battery replacement. That number likely extends well bey even 300K miles, IMO. I will admit battery issues outside warranty are statistically greater than ZERO...Am I missing something?
Definitely agree with the first part of your message, but as for the SP, it could be a bit higher for me until the next pop (margin calls ya know).Do not know which is more exciting; These cybertruck sightings or seeing the semi in real action working for TESLA.

Thanks for the post! Very interesting, especially 1971...weekend juice for conversation:
WTF Happened In 1971?

hope its worth the squeeze. also, relevant from the 1960's leading up to that year:

One factor that seems to plague Tesla information is the notion that Model S is a 2011 vintage car still in production. When I consider my 2014 Model SP85D+ with my 2021 S Plaid I barely can compare factually. Imagine EPA range at 265vs396, lifetime Wh/mi of 334 for the P85D vs 303 for the Plaid and so on. Not only those benefits but the actual US$ price of the P85D+ was higher than that of the 2021 Plaid, and the price has dipped since.Indeed, the new MS/X look similar to the old, but they are completely different proposition, and some of these prices are very compelling - seems to include EAP too...
Interesting charts. My answer to the question of what happened around 1971 is related to technology adoption, in particular that of color TV.weekend juice for conversation:

Interesting stuff. Globalization happened. Also, we went off the gold standard (end of Breton Woods removed the dollar-gold peg of $35) and oil started being priced in dollars rather than gold, which was much higher than the peg. That, followed by OPEC increasing prices with an embargo a couple years later didn’t help.weekend juice for conversation:

Indeed, I've gone from 2013 P85 -> 2016 XP100DL+ -> 2022 MX Plaid and each car has been a huge upgrade on the previousOne factor that seems to plague Tesla information is the notion that Model S is a 2011 vintage car still in production.

TSLA share prices never reflect the value of continuous improvement, and often appear to be the whim of market makers which adore easy-to-manipulate retail investors.
This is very surprising to me, and also welcome. I really did not expect Tesla to go to such lengths to avoid people seeing a highland 3 a little bit ahead of the reveal. This does imply that highland really is not 'the same car but cheaper to make'. To go to such lengths to avoid photos means there are real visible differences that even the usual awful news websites could make a story out of.There is a decent number of highland 3s piling up in Shanghai based on Jason's latest video

I don't want to talk about it... too depressing.
Though I do hope for great things from X.COM working to level the playing field. That is, I hope I live long enough to see a company like that create a financial environment where purveyors of fiat currencies, and of crypto currencies, will all compete in a common clearinghouse in order to offer the option for anyone anywhere to choose to use one form of money over another.
Whichever ones maintain their value best over time will be rewarded with the general populace' vote as they select that medium of exchange to hold their account in.
Such a choice for individuals through a third party could be the "sly, roundabout way" Hayek alluded to, in that it could turn on it's ear the "hidden tax" of inflation deployed by all fiat money suppliers in their efforts to steal hours of life from their citizens and subtly exercise population control by manipulating the value of their (alleged) money.
A friend of mine who bought Nissan Arya last month, claims based on the video below that he can now charge in any Tesla SC throughout US, by just using a CCS to NACS adapter.

- Is that true?
- Where does one get an adapter like that ?
- How is the so called "magic dock" different from this?
If this true why don't we see a surge of all OEM EVs in all Tesla SCs today?
I'm sure that any company who provides an app to use a Tesla charger will need to coordinate with Tesla for an API. Maybe Nissan has, but it seems unlikely.
Unless there is a way for anyone to set up the Tesla app to charge their non-Tesla vehicle, which seems a smidgen less than impossible.
Great video, and specific for future TSLA financials, the last statement is crucial (11:50 or so, but explanation actually starts closer to 11:00-11:30). They (Pepsi, but soon every other customer) now realize that it’s important to plan, from the beginning, for a complete fleet conversion at a specific location, not a piecemeal approach. This will eventually hit Wall Street like a million 82,000 lb semi trucks. Tesla will sell every semi made for decades. Customers will demand hundreds of semis for each location, not just a handful for testing. They are now planning for complete fleet conversion.Haven’t seen this posted yet in either here nor the semi forum. Real world data on the semi.
