Quoted: Musk bought 1.5Bil in Bitcoin at 36-37K, it is still in the mid 40's, He has not lost on bitcoin. View Quote https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/02/19788476/elon-musk-lost-15b-in-a-single-day-and-the-cause-could-be-one-of-his-own-tweets |

LOL We live in the land of 75k F150’s. So no, 100k for a mind warping vehicle isn’t crazy. And you can get into a Model 3 with 300+ mile range and free supercharging for 45k lightly loaded.
Quoted: Quoted: To be fair even 100k is pretty cheap for a sports car that eats lambos for breakfast ignorance is bliss. |

Quoted: What you just stated doesn't guarantee the stock goes up. Tesla actually has to sell the cars and generate the earnings to justify their share price. Their market cap is substantially higher than car companies that sell 20x as many cars as they do. Tesla couldn't sell that many cars in 2021 even if they had they miraculously had the demand for it. Tesla also has credible competitors in 2021 unlike in prior years.

I prefer vehicles that can drive 24 hours or more without having to stop and break out the board games while they recharge. Electric vehicles are for city dwelling retards who work close to home.

Come on, man!
LGBT folks are tired of the old Subarus and Ridgelines. They're willing to pay for the new Tesla trucks. |

No idea what's going on in the Musk casino but I'm down for that sweet sweet 8bit cyber truck whenever it comes out.

Electric vehicles are for city dwelling retards who work close to home. View Quote Driving 24 hours straight is a ridiculous edge case. Tesla is now cracking the 400 mile range and other manufacturers are cracking the 300 mile range. I'm as big an ICE fan as there is out there, I've owned all manner of ridiculous muscle cars and lifted 4X4s and even I can see that EVs are the future. |

Charging availability has come A LONG WAY since even 3-4 years ago for making long distance traveling convenient for EVs. |

People downplayed the damn Volt (not Bolt) because they said the range was so shitty but GM built it because the data for a commuter vehicle suggested that like 95% of people drive within that shorter window <50mi so they could do a parallel hybrid design to cover everything and the majority of the time the only time the engine ever kicks on is CPU commanded for internal maintenance.

Quoted: I typically do a lot more road trips then most people I know multiple times a year that are in the 600-700 mile range. Depending on my vehicle that's typically going to be 1-2 fuel stops and typically 2-3 total stops for bio break and/or food which I try to blend in with a fuel top-off so typically 2 stops if traffic and timing works out good but sometimes 3-4 total.

Charging availability has come A LONG WAY since even 3-4 years ago for making long distance traveling convenient for EVs. View Quote I have no interest in sitting on my ass at a station going nowhere for 15-60 minutes charging. With that said, I think and EV would be great for commuting if you can charge at home. I just would use my other vehicle for trips. When I moved from WI to TX I drove 1400 miles straight through in 21.5 hours. No fucking around. I want the ability to do that in my vehicles. |

Quoted: In less than 10 years the market will have them with 1000 mile ranges and it will become a mute point. View Quote I doubt it. Battery tech is going to get better but that'll most likely result in smaller, cheaper packs rather than ultra long range. We could easily make ICE cars with 1000 mile range but nobody wants the tradeoff of larger tanks. |

No way to tell how much money was invested in TSLA stock as a proxy for investing in Elon Musk and this other activities that aren't public.

Quoted: I've done several 1100 mile straight through trips over the last 2 years, my stops are literally 3-5 minutes, the time it takes to fill the tank and maybe piss. I have no interest in sitting on my ass at a station going nowhere for 15-60 minutes charging. With that said, I think and EV would be great for commuting if you can charge at home.

Quoted: Down almost 20% and still falling. Is this the end of a great run? Will it recover? Elon Musk influences the market with simple tweets, what will he do to save Tesla stock and Bitcoin? He has lost 15 Billion since tweeting that he believes Bitcoin and Ethereum are a little high. View Quote |

When is it going back up?
I haven’t seen it lose this much in the entire time I have owned it. |

Quoted: When is it going back up? I haven’t seen it lose this much in the entire time I have owned it. View Quote Make sure you’re thinking in percentage terms. Fwiw, TSLA may well be a great and successful company, however, it’s in a huge bubble built on speculation and momentum. When something is priced by the bigger fool theory, eventually you run out of fools. |
