@Cyber_Trailer Down just 2.6% in 24hrs is far from a value stock..

@ReclaimD1 The best transmission is no transmission.. dude dodged a bullet

@ivShubham_INN @DavidGi71651959 When you use materials that increase the cost x3 and takes x20 longer to complete I’d consider that dumb..

@mrfundman After seeing what’s happening to the stock market in Korea and Japan tomorrow might be nasty

@Teslarati It’s useful when you’re just gonna be back in the car an hour later I wouldn’t run it full-time

[Hungry Hobo @TeslaP90DL]

It’s hard to say. I’ve been asking myself the same question.. I was hoping Tesla would dip a little so I can accumulate more when the SpaceX IPO starts.
I’ll be looking to enter SpaceX two weeks to two months after the IPO. IPOs historically run up the first few days before cooling off.

@OutofSpecDetail @mrfundman I don’t have any rattles in the plaid? But I certainly do in the three.. the rear seat, squeaks, and the front suspension rattles..
When you get used to the plaid it’s hard to enjoy the 3.. feels cheap.

[Hungry Hobo @TeslaP90DL]

@OutofSpecDetail @mrfundman I own both the M3P and the plaid. The plaid all day long.. the three feels cheap in comparison

@TreeRunner5000 @CARN0N The performance model has an Underline under the dual motor badge. That just a normal long range 4.2 sec 0-60

@Bob_Bingi45 @M46726805 @mrfundman You can jailbreak Tesla and replace the inverter boards to tune the motor. It would be great if they allowed opensource software, but it’s unlikely due to the fast charging and people modifying the system to exceed its safe power capacity

Congrats on 52 years with your Beetle! Its elegant simplicity is exactly why it’s still going strong after all these decades, unlike most modern cars that have become overly complex.
Teslas follow a similar philosophy, they’re remarkably simple with far fewer parts. There are already countless Teslas that have surpassed 500k miles, with some even hitting over a million. While no battery will likely last that long, the rest of the vehicle absolutely can. Battery costs continue to drop rapidly, and you can already get refurbished packs for $6–9k. It is estimated that in five years the cost per kilowatt hour would be under $3500.
The motors and inverters are dramatically more reliable than any internal combustion engine. Similar electric motors have been running 24/7 in industrial applications for decades with virtually zero maintenance or issues.

@AbsolutNirvana @mrfundman You know nothing Jon Snow, I love to drive but it’s great to have a car that can drive itself when you need to send a text or book a hotel while on the road.. I have a manual CTS-V sitting in my driveway when I get the occasional urge to bang through the gears..

[Hungry Hobo @TeslaP90DL]

A manual transmission is slower and less efficient than an automatic transmission. Your wheel horsepower is much less than what the engine outputs because of the transmission. Driving a Tesla is like being in first gear all the time, but it never ends.. talk about feeling connected to the road, I feel like I’m driving on rails with perfect weight balance and a low center gravity. Going back to a legacy vehicle feel sloppy, antiquated and lame.

@keysersoze13_13 @mrfundman Enjoy paying $.40 a mile while getting your doors blowed off by a superior powertrain costing only $.02 per mile.. lol

[Hungry Hobo @TeslaP90DL]

@AutismSyrup @mrfundman No not really.. I have seven cars but when I take a road trip, I choose the Tesla because it’s less of a hassle when you have FSD and only spend on average 10-12 minutes at a charging stop..
