My USB drive is now visible. I took it out of the car and loaded up a LockChime.wav and put it back in the car. Needed to do the 20 second scroll wheel reboot, but have now finally achieved my life's goal (Godzilla Roar). Some good ones here...

Last years peak was in July. I shiver to think what July of this year will bring. Here comes the Sun 🌞

Someone more versed in the topic please help me understand this: SDBs and ATACMS use GPS to find their way to any given target. So the Russians just jam GPS where they don't want their high value targets to be hit. A couple questions come to mind: When these weapons were procured, didn't anyone...

A planned 12-hour power outage next week in Baker, California, will knock out dining, gas station operations and the ability to charge electric vehicles along 90 miles of Interstate 15. Southern California Edison will be carrying out infrastructure reliability upgrades, leaving the area without...

Rebooting the center console with the USB out allows me to insert it and have it visible. But the first time I leave the car and come back it's no longer visible. RT

Am I the only one who thinks that this location is going to be so popular that they are going to have to eventually buy out or lease one or both of the industrial buildings on the corner between the two lots they are currently using? RT

My red '21 with 41k miles just got a $26k offer from Tesla. It's about what I still owe on it. My car payment is about $1,100 per month, and a new lease would only be $600 per month. Since I plan on getting a new one every 3 years or so, it seems to make sense to lease. As fast as EV tech is...

Just added for the two higher priced cars. Midnight Cherry Red can't be far behind! 😍 RT

FWIW I closed out my position this morning pre-market at $92.70. Kept a few hundred shares for the long term. RT

Story today on the NYT Daily Podcast is about Tesla: How Tesla Planted the Seeds for Its Own Potential Downfall. Specifically, how the China factory paved the way for Tesla profitability. Summary is that Tesla wanted China to adopt the same sort of EV credits that worked in California. States...

Have I unretired? Still fully employed Did you over sell and now realize you don’t need so much cash on hand? Cashed in some chips since TSLA was a large % of my overall portfolio. Or you simply no longer wanted to hold TSLA for whatever reason? Still hold about 85% of my overall TSLA...

Yup, my typical pump and dump to get the TSLA Fanboys/girls to part with some of their well earned TSLA investment $$$. ;) RT P.S. I did sell some TSLA toward the end of last year (perilously close to retirement) and have been looking to invest a bit of it versus having it sit in cash. The...

When you disengage FSD, it gives you a prompt to send a 10-second voice message to Tesla letting them know why you did that. First time that happened I didn't see the prompt in time to do that. Today I disengaged once and was able to send the message. Todays disengagement was because I already...

Saw an article in the NY Times today about an ETF that holds shares of startup tech companies like Stripe and SpaceX. I didn't see a mention of this in the SpaceX thread, so I posted a link to the NY Times story. The ticker symbol is DXYZ. Should have seen this sooner as I follow space stuff...
