    random beeps

    My 2015 S also started beeping like 2-3 months back. It beeps once every 30 seconds or so, and it beeps both in park and drive. Is it because of dirty/misaligned sensors or somthing? There is no warning or any message on screen.

    Ditto. I told my kids not to sell Tesla when SP was 750. I said it can be worth 1500/share by end of 2022 :rolleyes: I might still be right though :)

    Now that TSLA already zipped pass the PT, they will raise it again soon, and TSLA will sure race to beat it again. Talking about self-fulfilling prophecy :)

    To be fair, it's easy to see this way now. However, before M3 was in high volume ramp, invest in TSLA was quite risky. I started my Tesla investment in mid 2018, Compared to those started earlier, it was not too bad. At least I can see and feel the products (MS and MX). I went >90% of my ROTH...

    I wathed this 2 years ago, I believe. Hard to swallow what GM did. It seems to be a decent start and plenty of followers on the EV1 at that time.

    There is no disagreement here. The question is what else can be done to help the poorest. I understand those corrupted goverments are the ones to blame on screwing up their own ppl to begin with, and deter the potential aids out there. They would just block all aids if they don't get a big...

    All these are true and not new. I am sure WFP is aware and tries their best, and I doubt it can be solved anywhere close to 100%. It will reach the needy, just how much. It does not mean we all should just give up entirely.

    I dunno. I thought Tesla is already Apple of car makers, though not yet reach its full potential as current Apple. Should take out the "if", and go straight to the calculations.

    Yeah Elon should start (start slow is ok) to do more good deeds to the world's poorest with his wealth, in addition to his current contribution to solving the Global Warming. Some of other billionaires have done a lot, especially Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. But, I do agree with Elon that the...

    I have mentioned multiple times. TSLA price action have been in pretty tight ranges the last few months. This means all buying are well paced and calculated, and not from impulse. I am pretty confident that SP spring back yesterday and today are again real and will hold. Let's wish Gary good...

    Here we go again, Gordon and Craig :) Since you are at it, Craig Irwin has made some significant improvements. He has almost doubled his TSLA price target from 150 to 250 per share recently. A good sign :cool:

    What's wrong with these politicians. Tesla cap gain, or Elon wealth gain has nothing to do with Union. Just like saying: "You guys are very efficient, why don't you be a bit more lousy now that you are making a lot of money" This is how China eats our lunch :)

    It's not fair to pick on EXXON. Bloomberg should say something like: "Elon Musk Is Now Worth More Than 3 Out Of Every 4 Of Dow Industrical Listed Stocks" :)

    In the short term, it's a mix of bit of FOMO, short covering, and others. But, in the long term, Hertz's order is a tip of domino effects, from more order from Hertz, other rentals, super charge uses, and the biggest I see is these rentals will serve as test drive for those are still on the...

    Officially certified $1T market cap by CNBC too. Best of all, reaching 1T cap in 18 years, quickest to $1T among all US trillion $$ companies.

    I am inspired by your optimism :) No one denies Telsa profit margin will improve, but we all said it takes sometimes once new factories are ramped, and not overnight as you have implied.

    I understand there is no "transportation" line item like the destination and doc fees. If comparable car costs more in Europe compared to US, it may mean the cost of logistics already baked into it. I don't have a way to check the price in Europe.

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

    I thought Tesla makes customers pay for transportation? After giga Berlin fully ramped, I think purchase price in Europe will be in line with US price.

    Personally, I think the margin will be stable or dip a bit starting next year due to giga Berlin and Texas ramps, and will be back on track for further improvement second half of next year. I hope I am wrong.

    In the longer terms, Tesla will have to continually build at least a few more giga factories to meet the 20M cars per year goal. Not sure if they can achieve that without debts. Frankly, it's not necessary to focus on zero debt either. I know your statements are for fun discussion here :)

    This is a good sign. This means that the current SP price is real, and not much on FOMO, pump and dump, and not hyperbolic. In fact, TSLA SP has been in pretty narrow ranges, and up and up in the last few months, which is new :)

    Well, if Tesla was bought out by VW then, Tesla market cap would have been $20B now :) So, it would be a 50% loss. :cool:
