    FSD... It won't run over pedestrians. So pedestrians...

    I consider myself a pretty good driver. No accidents in 34 years or tickets in 30 and I drive more than my share. (not that I don't speed so much) I am a defensive driver, I try not to tailgate and I watch for speed traps which adds to my attentiveness. I admittedly drive a little too...

    The New Union-Focused EV Tax Credit Bonus & American-Made Tax Credit Cut Proposed In The House Is Stupid

    Crissa you are so pragmatic. If we fight the union clause they may flip and fight EV and electrification all together. I see the light. I will quit whining about the unions. As others have said, Tesla has more than a $4500 advantage anyway. Anything that displaces an ICE mile should get...

    The New Union-Focused EV Tax Credit Bonus & American-Made Tax Credit Cut Proposed In The House Is Stupid

    It is natural to try to help those that have helped you. Both sides do it. The democrat's had to at least suggest it. If they care about the environment they may drop or lower the requirement to get it past, but at least "they tried" It is like guns and abortions' for Republicans...

    Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    I freaking loved it. Go Tesla, boo ICE OEM. Boo the government for trying to level the playing field. Tesla took huge risk, they think big, they deserve to dominate. Last time I looked Ford/GMC struggle to get over 50% American content in their vehicles. Telsa must me 85% or more.

    Update CT announcement when…(these are the jokes)

    End of Q2...or was it fiscal reporting of Q2... or was the official adjustments to Q2. Better call it September 30 2021 just to be safe.

    Elon Musk and taxes

    The fact that Donald Trump is being charged in New York is a pretty good start. Several of his top people were living in Trump properties. If they were not paying taxes on that benefit that is tax evasion for them. If Trump was pushing income off to his family without them reporting, that...

    Elon Musk and taxes

    It is only legal because the mega rich get their cronies in office. Since citizens united it has gotten worse . They finance misinformation campaigns and discouraged/underfunded audits on the rich. Many of them are getting away with criminal tax evation.

    Elon Musk and taxes

    I am not aware of lavish spending by Elon. He sold most of his homes if not mistaken. Unless he sells his stock his income is not so much. I would guess he doesn't personally spend more than $10 million a year. What irks me about the mega rich , is that they claim poverty on one side yet...

    Tesla Canceling Model S Plaid +

    Tesla won't cancel the trimotor, they just won't make very many or will start out with the dual motor until demand levels out a little on their batteries. They should go for the best margin given limited resources.

    Hacking group Anonymous issues threat to Elon Musk

    I hope you are right. He certainly pissed them off. They could go after any of Tesla suppliers and have similar effect. None of the crypto talk is doing anything to benefit Tesla. Given Elon 's history with Paypal I understand some of his interest. I think since monetary/fiscal policy...

    Tesla Canceling Model S Plaid +

    I think Tesla will mostly rely on the Roadster to maintain their #1 status for performance for PR reasons. Their mission is to switch as many vehicles to EV to save the environment. Maintaining multiple high performance SX model variants just to stay ahead of Lucid probably does not make...

    Tesla canceled my solar roof

    If you have an attic a plumber could move them easily. If someone made a nice ridge transition material it would be nice to stay conventional on the north/complex side. It would still look good from either side. Way better than scabbing panels all over the place.

    Knock off the blockchain Elon

    My understanding is Elon doesn't have a stake in Dogecoin. He was involved and advised the developers to some degree. So unless some friends or family somehow bought a big stake it would be hard for the SEC to get him. With Bitcoin dropping from $38,000 this AM, which is below the Tesla buy...

    Knock off the blockchain Elon

    Honestly I don't understand the draw behind Crypto currency. I understand it is easy to move , harder to trace, has lower transaction fees, and maybe a hedge against inflation (iff enough people believe in it) I prefer the full faith and credit of the USA, I have no need to hide my...

    Knock off the blockchain Elon

    Elon, for the love of God - knock it off on the bitcoin/dogecoin tweets. Focus your genius on Tesla and Tesla energy and maybe SpaceX. It is embarrassing that you didn't correlate blockchain mining with energy consumption earlier. You are making unnecessary enemies and tanking TSLA stock...

    Elon on SNL

    I thought he did great. He is human and fallible. Dreaming big and making it happen. Yes I am a Muskovite.

    Apple wins a Project Titan Patent related to an Advanced Nighttime Sensing System with 3X the Power of Traditional Headlights

    In generalities here, I think Tesla is right on with their FSD strategy. All the sensors in the world are not going to help if the car cannot filter and predict movements fast enough. Actually too many sensors will only make it more difficult. If a human can see it and react fast enough...

    Tesla and the price of ICE trade ins

    I have a choice of a $1000 month truck allowance or company provided truck. While the company truck has use limitations for liability which I hate. I won't think about using that money to buy a new truck because of the depreciation hit I will take when I get my CT. I am going to try to buy...

    Tesla and the price of ICE trade ins

    You are wrong. EV will affect ICE values greatly in 2 years.
