ELON is a brilliant man, way to many underestimate his knowledge and vision.I still hold my TSLA bags longterm for a reason.
Ill take one please. Im a bit torn on electric bikes. I really like good torque on my bikes, but the roar of the engine on bikes is so much more important than cars. Having loud pipes lets people know they need to watch out for bikers which they usually do not see!
Very true, one of my last road bikes was a Kawasaki KZ 500 . Even then people were oblivious and careless.
Maybe. Maybe not. Engagement ring ordered. Not tsla related directly, but happy to derail. Since its my main thread i post in. 2 of her bucket list items on the vacay, getaway. Maybe 3 if she counts the romantic proposal....it will happen in a hot air balloon, weather permitting. And all sponsored by tsla ill either update you all in mid may, or go silent while i try to sell the ring on ebay. Lol. But im confident as she is sending me rings she wants me to wear as well.
Tesla said Chief Executive Elon Musk has changed his title at the company to “Technoking of Tesla." The company also said Chief Financial Officer Zach Kirkhorn will have the title of “Master of Coin.” Link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-gets-new-title-of-technoking-of-tesla-11615813693
Congratulations to both of you! Perhaps you will have a model S wedding limo? Maybe Elon can program the external speaker to make the noise of cans dragging behind the car. So much is happening at Tesla. I havent been updating this thread much but Shanghai is producing about 20k vehicles per month with another ga soon to come online. Meanwhile, they are taking over hundreds of acres of more land with parking lots and new buildings going up like crazy. Austin is moving along nicely. Once they get some floor poured, production equipment will start showing up. Giga Berlin started receiving production equipment weeks ago. Meanwhile, at Roadrunner, we are seeing 4680 cells start to leave leave on a regular basis. I believe they have their yield a lot closer to where they need it to be. That will release the semi project and bodes very well for the Cyber Truck. I am expecting PowerWall 3.0 to announced, some time this summer. There is also a van project that is rumored to be nearing design completion. I expect the van to be announced late this year or early next for availability in 2024.
I saw an article last week that mentioned some crazy statistic that 70% or some high percentage of new vehicle buyers are strongly considering electric. Its not even a question between pros and cons of gas vs electric anymore, just a price issue.
I'm patiently awaiting the spacex starlink ipo, whether it be one or two. I would dive in headfirst. My TSLA is a forever hold, bought at the top but I write a weekly contract that has made some decent chumpchange along the way.
Im impatiently awaiting the starlink as well. (Will be crazy). It will happen, per mr musk. tomb16, i wish it were a model s, but my net worth dropped substantially since my jan update. Its ok though. Its still 200% above expectations. but i have nobody to blame but myself and options....and margin. Lol. Still paying that school of hard knocks. I guess it was interest on bills unpaid from my yrs long, hiatus. Fortunately, i covered margin when the shareprice was about $840. Unfortunately, i was too scared to take on more debt to buy back at $550. Not scared really....just hesitated and missed a $140 bounce in a day. Grr... Missed my stated target. Im still holding tsla, but just under half what i was but the debt relieved that this amazing run up has provided, and the cushion i am sitting on, is why i attribute my hopefully epic engagement to tsla still. and it has still changed my trajectory. And am thankful for that. I know this has zero value to the thread, but i love tsla still!
