This validates the public perception is that easy and available high speed charging is the most valuable aspect of EV ownership.

Free advertising for Tesla, because they are in a position to offer this pretty much worldwide at a much lower price point.

The modern Model S Long Range with V3 charging hasn't been tested yet. A 620 mile test with a 400 mile car could manage with one stop.

But we're getting to the punishing aspect of driving over the pleasant to save time, Anyone really interested in this kind of marathon distance in a car:

This is from my NextDoor daily digest email, another convert-

​

<strong>Finally took delivery of our Model Y last week!! Anybody else? :).</strong> Gotta love Elon's EQP -- that's End of Quarter Push :D We got ours last week.... not only the greatest vehicle I've ever experienced, easily the greatest *THING* I've ever owned. It's not just an altogether better, newer car from our previous (2017 GLC), it's like I went to sleep and woke up 20 or 30 years in the future. It's an absolute STEP CHANGE improvement to any other automotive experience, full stop. Mind completely, utterly blown. (Also, this thing is absolutely going to cannibalize Model 3 and X sales the same way the 3 cannibalized S sales.)

Check out a heat pump water heater. $500 federal rebate (if you have never take it), and check your electric company. Mine gave me an additional $400. So my $1200 water heater cost me $300 - and it saves $300 a year on electricity. Then swap out the anode that comes with it with an electric one, and your new water heater will last longer than you will. If your water heater is in the basement - duct the exhaust in the summer up under your fridge and enjoy a ton of free A/C. It also acts as a dehumidifier (for free).

If your old heater still holds water / plumb them in series and unplug the first one (and protect it with an electric anode). Then your freezing external water will naturally heat to room temp for free and you are finishing the heating in the new tank up to 125. If you have a heat exchanger on your geothermal - you can preheat the unplugged tank when you make A/C on the geo.

Rheem makes a nice one.

Edit - if you are buddies with a vet - go to home depot or Lowes and get their 10% discount.

So this is not pure science or whatever, I'm 15yo and not a industry expert or whatever, please consider my assumption not too seriously! Also you get check this draft which is absolutely not clear but I may making it more clear if someone want it. There are a lot of nuance like Lithium Hydroxide ≠ to Lithium Carbonate or that there are mesured and indicated resoource as well as supposed resource of lithium when annoncing the tpa. Didn't want it to make it too complex as I may lost myself too 😂

There's a bypass paywalls extension you may be interested in.

I read the article, and you're spot on. Also, TSLA is going to just be 1.7% of the S&P 500, so it's not like it's going to magically drag all the index funds upwards a tremendous degree.

| ZapGo was later accused by Nikola of fraud, false representations, and failure to disclose that its President had been indicted for tax fraud.

Isn't it ironic, don'cha think?

I'd love to hear about anyone's stories of actually being able to save anything by going to a tax advisor when/before selling. From my understanding there's two ways to optimize taxes, when you buy and when you sell.

Buying in a tax advantage account (like a 401k or Roth) is an obvious option. And then, timing of selling is useful too. But from an investment perspective, if you want to sell (to rebalance, or buy yourself something nice, or just because you have to because it's options or something) then trying to avoid paying taxes can actually be a bad choice if you end up having to sell during a dip when the stock is lower than it is now.

Last year I had a bunch of option income, so I paid for an account to review my tax obligations before selling anything, and then paid again to have them do my taxes for the year. It ended up being kind of expensive (because I had to pay to refile when Robinhood restated their tax docs) and I didn't get any tax benefits at all. The only real benefit was "peace of mind" of knowing that a professional looked at everything, but in terms of gains and losses it was a pure cost with no monetary benefit.

I think if you understand a few basic tax rules, that anyone is able to plan their selling to minimize taxes:

• Long term vs Short term capital gains. Holding for at least a year if possible is almost always better (unless your income tax bracket is very low)
• Long term cap gains limits. For an individual it's $40k to pay a 0% rate, and $440k for a 15% rate
• Net investment income - there's a 3.8% tax if your gross income is over $250k

But those limits are only useful if you're willing and able to space out your sales over 2 or more years. If you want to sell in a single year, then there's really nothing you can do to optimize your taxes.

I don’t trade options just buy and hold stocks for the long term.

Because of that I use AJBell as they have a good app, low trade costs and do all types of accounts eg. standard, ISA and retirement but they don’t trade options. I did have to sign a W8BEN form though to own US equities.

For options though I know IG do them and I know a lot of people who use them and say good things.

It’s not a socks chip like a CPU.

It’s a full SOC, with inputs and outputs.

It’s not a huge pro but the “seamless” part is important. For example, Apple has many small continuity, sharing and communication features that are universal to their OS.

>New Zealand we have already rebounded

That explains a lot. My guess is New Zealand has a great education system to go along with beautiful topography and cows. So many cows.

Your country is also relatively stable and has a low Debt to GDP. I wouldn't worry if I were you about a global meltdown effecting you personally. But there is so much global debt that I don't see being serviced once the bankruptcies start.

Also, with all your cows you won't be running out of food, ever.

&#x200B;

>I think people think innovation is money+time=innovation when it's probably talent+leadership=innovation.

Yep. Moreover, understanding and planning for what will be possible in the future is crucial.

I remember watching this video from Ray Kurzweil a long time ago. He created a hand held reading machine for the blind/visually impaired. But he modeled the capabilities based on trends in hardware and software 4 years in advance. None of the auto companies think like that. Otherwise they would've had a jump on self driving with AI well in advance of Tesla.

&#x200B;

>And when I checked, color me surprised when EC2 (Amazon's scalable cloud computing uses EPYC) Same with Azure.

Nice find!

&#x200B;

>For the US if the Democrats win the Senate and pass the COVID relief bill I wouldn't be worried.

This delays the inevitable and makes it worse. You live in a country that is not living beyond it's means. The US is 130% debt to GDP vs NZ 58%. That 130% is not including the unfunded liabilities that are another $150 trillion. That's not including individual state pensions. I could go on.

In the short term, probably this year, I think a global recession happens. In a few more years China collapses. In another decade the US gov starts defaulting or inflating the money supply like crazy.

From the teslarati comment section that I thought was were mentioning:

“Nickel and its natural low content of cobalt acts as an 'energy' shock absorber to the very steep Lithium gradient. This reduces energy transfer as heat that would otherwise cause shorter cell lifetime. Pretty ingenious: that will lead to million mile battery. “ - user drjimmyleftcoast

Here's a link describing how to transfer out of Robinhood:

https://robinhood.com/us/en/support/articles/transfer-stocks-out-of-your-robinhood-account/

And here's a link that walks you through transferring to Fidelity.

https://www.fidelity.com/customer-service/transfer-assets

I would recommend calling Fidelity and asking them to help you with it. The few times I've called over the years, they've picked up immediately, been exceptionally professional, and answered my question or solved my problem in no time. I've been consistently impressed, which is why I recommend them so highly. They make you feel important.

If you're on Android, check out the Brave browser. It uses the same rendering engine as Chrome but blocks ads and trackers by default.

If you want a solution for your entire home network that blocks ads on phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and everything else that's overrun with advertising, consider setting up a Pi-hole server. It's life-changing and a lot easier than one might initially imagine.

Tesla has delivered 255k vehicles in 2019 so far. Let's say 350k vehicles delivered in all of 2019. We could estimate 400k vehicles in 2019 but that would make my argument even stronger; so I'm being conservative.

Tesla will need to grow vehicles delivered 76% per year for the next 5 years to reach 6M (note that Tesla grew vehicles delivered about 40% from 2018 to 2019, so they'd have to almost double the rate of deliveries from 40% to 76% in 2020).

The odds of this happening in the stated timeline are practically zero, in my opinion.

&nbsp;

For fun, let's compare Facebook to Tesla.

Facebook monthly-active-user count per quarter <strong>grew less than 60%</strong> from 2009 to 2013.

It costs relatively little for Facebook to add users. A user signs up on an existing web server for free then uses the site. A very low barrier to entry.

There's no factory to build, no materials to acquire for cars and batteries, no people to hire to build the car, etc. Facebook's reach is literally global so anyone with Internet access can create a facebook account and start using it for free.

I don't see how Tesla, a heavily capital intensive business, can grow faster than a Facebook pure software model.

&nbsp;

Cathie is playing the total-address-market(TAM) game. Market is massive, let's assume Tesla captures a large percentage. This almost always results in a ridiculous price.

&nbsp;

Entrepreneurs play the TAM game all the time (it's especially egregious on Shark Tank and the Sharks nail the entrepreneurs that do this). Nobody should trust it because it ignores the huge number of variables that have to go right to capture the forecasted market share. The devil is in the details and Cathie provides none.

If you or anyone else is interested in reading about how to pivot during a disruption, or how not to do it, then I really recommend the book The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail https://www.amazon.com/Innovators-Dilemma-Technologies-Management-Innovation-dp-1633691780/dp/1633691780/

No, I meant that - the Tesla a/c.

For the heat you don't need to wait for it as there are some great options that are quite energy-efficient. Here is an example.

They said after a certain amperage they will go with a automated arm using aluminum bus bars. If not automated something a user might be able to move like a lamp post. It will still be big and bulky but at least not heavy to move around and short copper joints with aluminum bus bars should be cheaper than 5-6ft of high grade copper.

Capitalism has been corrupted to confuse asset value with wealth, e.g. landlords buying up pre-existing housing trying to pass themselves off as "housing providers" instead of the nakedly rent-seeking parasites they are.

But Musk and Tesla is indeed different, the capitalist's capitalist, creating not only the amazingly efficient and thrilling end goods (the car and charging network) but the intermediate capital of the factories and industrial processes to produce all that.

It's an honor and privilege to own a piece of it!

Okay, hold up. You're on the right track, but only halfway there: Now all you have is obnoxious aggression — inflammatory rhetoric when something more nuanced would have worked a lot better.

Critique is good, being an asshole yourself in the name of honesty just makes the situation worse. The book you want is called <strong><em>Radical Candor</em></strong>, and it's a very good summary of why this is the case, playing out a bunch of different scenarios about how to give feedback to co-workers in an effective fashion.

I think we might end up surprised. Volkswagen's been doing a good job taking a bunch of disparate pieces and all moving them into place, bit by bit. They've actually been running test fleets on fleet vehicles in Germany since 2018, app and everything.

Meanwhile their partner Argo has been doing validation in Washington DC, Miami, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Palo Alto, Austin, Nashville, Munich, and Hamburg. And they've been spotted in a bunch of other cities, too.

I'd put Argo+VW just behind Waymo, Cruise, Baidu, and AutoX at this point — probably neck-and-neck with Pony, and way ahead of everyone else.

Tesla sells the adapters too. My kit came with a 14-50 plug with the mobile charger. Not sure if Tesla stopped providing that. But had to buy a CircleCord adapter to match the 240v socket I have.

Sample hook with photo

Found an abstract about SoW

Looks like its just a more efficient way to package everything if everything is routed with silicon in a very small package, instead of making connections between the chip itself and its power supply with PCB's and copper conductors. Thats why they are only getting 25 per wafer, the wafers are the PCB's now, a more efficient computer means better battery life for the vehicle or even more powerful chips for the same energy usage. But I'm just a layman so I could be completely wrong. Again Tesla is 3 more steps ahead of their competitors in adopting new tech.

FYI: This is just a white-labelled Skyworth EV6. (The practice of white-labelled cars is pretty common in China.)

Skyworth is pretty interesting because they're already an appliance and electronics maker, and they want to be a parts supplier, too. So they have a bunch of history doing all kinds of components which are suitable for being cobbled into a full vehicle. They likely won't ever be a big player in the market — they barely make a dent in monthly sales — but I haven't seen any indication that it isn't a reasonable product.

Feel free to join us at r/chinacars if you want to keep up with this kind of thing, there's a bunch of new stuff going on all the time.

Here’s a decent book I read a few months ago I really liked. It help me grasp how options work. I do a lot of paper trading for practice. It’s something I might entertain as a strategy when I retire off my TSLA shares. I’m still unsure how I plan to do it exactly, but it’s an idea I like to entertain.

Good point; I do recall seeing the lots, just didn't know you could sell in any order.

Apparently called "Specific Identification" (here)

I use TD but a few questions - do you have any margin balance already? - what do you mean by no buying power? - do you have a margin limit when you were approved? - what is the size of your account? Believe you need a minimum of $2k to be eligible - looking at Schwab site, says you typically need to maintain at least 30% of account value (is this your problem?) - https://www.schwab.com/margin/requirements

I use Merrill edge, but I’m sure any broker is willing to give margin accounts with whatever criteria met.

I try to stick with less then 50% use of my buying power in case Tesla dumps to avoid margin call.

https://www.schwab.com/margin/requirements

Just keep track of how much margin you’re using because I found it was too easy to keep buying dips and ended up having like $800k of TSLA shares on margin lol

I mean there is no really tl;dr but I can try to make one. ( you can view text of the video here : https://www.notion.so/Tesla-Q2-20-80b2303881f64722b665e243a8a3ca0a)

-93K Deliveries, 63K NA/ Europe (7K left inventory) and 30K China

- ASP of $45,5K, 44,3K in NA, 55K in Europe and 45K in China

- 163M in profit from FSD, 50M in reg credit

- GM w/o reg credit of 17% , Giga China making GM go up from last quarter, More MY with the 20% rate stablise GM from last quarter, and cheaper S3X cars make GM fall.

- Auto revenue of 4240M, Energy of 350M, FSD and reg credit of at least 234M. Give us 4800M in revenue. It will generate 1042M of Gross Profit, with Interest expenses and opex, we obtain an 88M Loss.

Yeah here is summary :https://www.notion.so/Tesla-Q2-20-80b2303881f64722b665e243a8a3ca0a . Notion don't allow me to copy text unfortunately and if I copy text from pdf, it will get messy.

It's not news in itself, it's news that CNN finally figured it out.

Once again CNN is the story here.

They've always been a joke, right back to the 90s.

War Photographer even mentions how photographers and journalists considered them a joke back then.

Well, one way would be to do what another user here suggested and use a "Pledged Asset Line" (e.g. https://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking_lending/pledged_asset_line ) to get a downpayment on the house and get a regular mortgage for the remaining amount as interest rates are so low.

I don’t know if this will help, but my plan when I retire in 10-15 years. I’m going to withdraw from my Tesla shares very similar to the 4% rule in retirement. Explanation link: https://www.schwab.com/resource-center/insights/content/beyond-4-rule-how-much-can-you-safely-spend-retirement

This will allow me to avoid paying any large lump sum in taxes. I’ll be able to also change and adjust the percentage as desired with my needs. I will be adopting a personalized spending rate, based on my situation, other investments, and risk tolerance, and then regularly updating it.

Let’s say I wanted to take out a large sum. Taking out more than $434,550 at a 15% rate and paying a higher rate of 20% long term capital gains does not feel optimal to me. Paying myself a salary makes more sense to me than walking away from TSLA all in one go.

Btw if anyone is interested, this is the broker I use for buying fractions of shares: https://revolut.com/referral/filipeumyl!OCT1AR . And yes this is a referal link :)

Use a password safe like keepass. I couldn't tell you what my passwords are except for the one that gets me into the safe. Used in conjunction with whatever private/public cloud provider (depending on your paranoia) you like you can sync the safe across all your devices.

https://keepass.info/

My favorite compatible android app is keepassdroid. IOS versions also exist.

For bonus points use a keyfile as a required part of the login that isn't synced (this file is manually copied using usb or whatever). Then if the cloud provider is hacked and even if your password to the safe is compromised contents still secure.

You'd be horrified the number of companies that keep customer critical login information in excel spreadsheets or .txt files :( To login to industrial control systems....

Anyone already doing Q2 Earnings Preview 😅 ? I did (see explanation here) and I get a $161M loss. Which will in fact not necessarily exclude Tesla for joining the S&P since apparently having a profit in the last quarter while recomanded is not necessarily required. with Covid they would probably ease the rules.

&#x200B;

85 665 Deliveries in Q2

19% Gross Margin

4,7B in Revenue

1.2B in Operating Expenses and other expenses

$150M in FSD Revenue

Net loss of $161M

Yes, it will be 1/5 of the pre-split price, but it will also only be worth 1/5 of the pre-split value, since all shares are splitting 5:1. 5 times more shares means the price per share comes down. Anyone holding shares before the split will end up with 5 times the amount of shares, so they will continue on like nothing happened. After the split, it may not bump much or at all. Some stocks have in the past. Since the new lower per share price is much more accessible to retail traders, you may see that cause the price to go up post-split.

I I'm not making sense, check out Robinhood's investing glossary, it explains things pretty well.

Timing, patterns.

Very few retail traders can buy AH beyond the first ~2 hours:

https://robinhood.com/support/articles/360001226766/extendedhours-trading/

Institutionals stay away from AH (it will move against them quickly), unless there's some big news - which there isn't today.

But we reached a new, massive all time high, while shorts are exposed even more than they were last summer.

I.e. margin calls.

Check this link out: https://robinhood.com/us/en/support/articles/360001226666/transfer-stocks-out-of-your-robinhood-account/

Note RH charges $75 dollars to do this.

Look up the Bollinger bands. If you use tradingview.com it's in the indicators. It's a pretty useful tool for timing the puts and calls. TSLA also always bounces off the 50-day moving average if you want to time the bottom to sell puts

Does anyone here use wallmine? I discovered it last week and it's my new favorite tool. Check it out if you haven't already, I think it's still pretty new. It's amazing.

I'm using a Blue-9 Balance clip neck harness for now, attached to this tether: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VDB1THL.

It takes about 3 hours with an ender 3 to print a solid ABS case

It wouldn't even add a rounding error to the cost calculation

example $229.

Even if it won’t be enough to charge the battery it might be enough to maintain the battery.

Assuming there’s enough space it put the equivalent of 4 cheap Amazon panels:

They have an “ideal” charge rate of 500W/ day. So four could be 2kW/day.

Normal battery drain is 1-3%, it could mean that you can camp for a week and return with the same state of charge.

>The reason why Tesla is so high because people believe he can create it, not because he created it already. I love most projects he does, but that does not mean I cant be critical. He is so rich not because he made it with a real moneymaking process, but because he got so much money from investors. Getting investors in and get paid huge bonusses is his money-making process so far with Tesla.

You're really aren't making any sense. He has created many, many, world changing companies already. You clearly need to understand more about what he has achieved if you think it's all just hype. Please read his biography you will learn a lot and won't regret it. This man has been working his ass off since he was a child. He is not a salesman or hypeman. It's the real deal. Please educate yourself.

I had weak hands once and purchased this:

Absolute game changer.

Really depends on what you do with it. If you work your ass off, yes it pays better. I'm not entirely aware of what CPAs make, a Google search shows 70k. That's about what associate software engineers make. Senior software engineers can make over $200k a year (avg seems to be $150k a year). If you get into your own stuff, you can make a lot more.

It's not an easy path, definitely a hard skill, so you'll need about 2,000 hours of experience (not reading books) to qualify for entry level positions (especially without a degree).

I'm self taught college drop out. The book that made things click for me was the first edition of Bjarne Stroustrup's Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ (2nd Edition). It was introduced to me as an advanced beginner book.

So far no one I've recommended this book to has completed it, that I know of. It's rather tough and time consuming. I spent a year on it, 4+ hours a day (on top of 12 hr workdays, so I was quite exhausted). I was lucky enough to get a shot at programming at work after finishing the book (not because of the book, just worked out), so got a lot of my experience on the job. I still poured countless hours outside of work learning. Still do.

As soon as I set up my account one of their team called me and helped me get started.

I can’t remember exactly what made me try it but it was probably a post on the tesla sub or a YouTube video. I’m going to walk back my comment a bit, it’s not night and day but we feel it reduces a lot of harshness. We didn’t take before and after measurements but definitely sounds better.

This is the one I got but there are other ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WSTTP5Z

The seal on the leading edge of the front doors were hard to reach so I skipped it.

I also bought a roof seal but I’m not sure it made a difference.

It’s BS, the batteries just produce enough current to power a few dim leds.

With two of these batteries in parallel you could start to turn one of these motors for your matchbox Semi. That’s assuming the motor wasn’t connected to anything providing resistance.

hahaha, it's so ridiculous! I'm currently reading Energy: A Human History by Richard Rhodes and it very clearly follows how humans have been using energy and how each energy transformation has been revolutionary to the world's economy.

Going from fossil fuels to renewables + batteries is the next logical step...and it will be a massive change. Looks like Tesla is going to lead the whole industrial revolution 2.0 / Green revolution.

I would have put the format more into a slide show that they can dump on the press that have lots of bullet points.

Lots of bullet points, talk like you've seen the data and it's not like they threw you onto the stage not knowing what you're going to say to have your workers give your script on the spot with a teleprompter.

I was interested in data such as how much their latest charging stations cost compared to the 1st and 2nd gen they're phasing out, and how much money will it cost to upgrade. That's pretty important if they want to get the cars down to 25k each due to fleet prices. 25k is the price of a fleet truck.

Talk about fleet truck options such as compressors, welders, and distribution boxes.

I would have talked about bundling Tesla infrastructure with large fleet truck orders.

What about the reduced autopilot software? If people will be able to lease the high end auto pilot software, will the amount owners spend per month get deducted from the cost of the eventual purchase? What about the transferring of auto pilot licenses to newer models, if not transfer how about reduction in price for the next auto pilot purchase?

Somebody makes them and they're fucking heavy.

here's one example weighing 25 lbs. Wouldn't want to carry that on a hike. Perfect for a tailgater

But you can tell the future and that’s somehow different? I’ll tell you why it’s not unknowable. Because there is a history of financial bubbles to look back on and see this is no different. The best way to predict the future is look to the past.

You don’t know how dumb you are because you are a kid. When you’re my age you’ll realise.

Intense data mining and selling that data or analytics based on that data. The customers aren't the product, but their behavior is.

This book explains it pretty well (at least the first half of the book).

I don’t want to come across as hoping any of you lose money or sound like I am anti Tesla at all. I’m not anti Tesla or Elon. But I’ve been on Wall St for a long time and seen a lot of bubbles and this is one. It’s a repeat of Bitcoin guys. When an asset price gets divorced from fundamental realities to this extent it never ends well.

This is nothing like the secular growth of Apple or Amazon. They didn’t double in less than two months on no real news when they were multi billion share caps like this has. No stock ever has. It’s completely unsustainable.

This book is de rigueur to read when you are a professional investor. I hope some of you are willing to broaden your minds and have a look. Because the Tesla share price right now is a classic mania. Just like tulips and bitcoin and many other assets were.

Human psychology and it’s failings has taken the stock here. Nothing else.

And if any of you are sitting on large profits. I say well done. And take them. Don’t be greedy and buy into 4000 delusion.
