Thanks to you and all who put together this celebration of GaryGid. It was a warm and joyous sendoff. Very nice to see everyone again. Cheers.

Safe travels Gary. I came to know Gary from the Aptera forum around 2009. A kind soul. I will try to attend the event on Feb 18. Thanks for posting @Boomer23 -Tom

:roll: ...one sec while I step over that strawman. Uh, if having to like Musk was a thing, I guess it would. I don't happen to like him, though I do appreciate his substantial drive in service to things I feel are important. He's flawed like all of us but has abilities like few of us...

:) It's all relative, of course, "wealthier" n.e. "wealthy" But, hmmm (checks rulebook)... I guess it then follows that if you're a "NY, leftie, bicyclist" and own a shiny new car from a climate wrecking auto company, same? "Ford, G.M. and Mercedes agreed to work toward selling only...

Understanding the difference between the two has been a made me a happier, wealthier, progressive. ;)

And yet, Tesla and SpaceX are the top two companies for engineers out of college. And https://pakwired.com/elon-musk-most-admired-ceo/

I've been driving with FSDBeta for about a week. Despite issues I would expect in a beta version, if anything, the car under FSDBeta control, is so safety oriented that other drivers sometimes get annoyed. I'm constantly vigilant when using it and will override it when I think it's being too...

I make it out to mean Tesla has over 1.5M Cybertruck orders; i.e., orders made now might not be filled until 2026. Unwise to specify price or configuration that far out.

There's no NDA for the current crop of FSDBeta testers who requested FSDBeta via "the button". Guessing the Tesla employees who have been testing over the past years did have some sort of NDA.

When I was looking to do a solar install on a rental, I was surprised Tesla was offering any referral for panels + Powerwall. They were already the lowest cost by far of any local installer. They are not as fun to deal with IMO. Limited handholding or even info during the process. But, I've done...

It seems natural that CU would spend a paragraph on the safety value of better instrument visibility and lower likelihood of airbag injury from misplaced hands at the top of a steering wheel. But little weight is given to these advantages. I would like to assess the yoke on one of my frequent...

Mr. Field is a little slow. The Apple Car debuted in late 2017. Huge success too. It's called the Tesla Model 3. A family member that worked on sensors at Tesla in 2018 said when they arrived, they noticed the Model 3 software team was substantially from Apple's Titan project. Sit in a Model 3...

I'm looking forward to car delivery numbers being a footnote in TSLA corporate outlook. Looking at Battery Day, the incredible quickness of China GF, Berlin GF and Austin GF and the ways in which Tesla continues the acceleration of the "acceleration of the world's transition to sustainable...

Dog mode is awesome. My neighbor bought her Model 3 based on that one feature plus a demo of Autopilot. She traded in her 3-year old Subaru which had the lane-keeping features. She said it never worked that well and the pedestrian warning system was not usable. I mentioned I drove a '19 Subaru...

And yet. Meanwhile in Calif.... This must irk the California New Car Dealers Association to report: https://insideevs.com/news/426084/california-tesla-model-3-best-selling-q12020/ The first quarter of 2020 positively surprised us with the first place among all types of cars, not only passenger...

See-ya Toyota... Tesla becomes world's most valuable automaker Meanwhile, my retirement manager says my portfolio moved from "moderate risk to high risk". Evidently just based on the much larger % that is just TSLA. It's consuming everything!

Can be both. Perhaps even a requirement.

Unsure myself but glad to participate! Nio also moved in a very similar fashion while US Auto was down a fair amount. Maybe China money; seeing how well Tesla is selling in the biggest auto market. Nio also had a good month (for them). Maybe investors seeing that Tesla will come out of this...

Tesla's whole mission is to advance the advent of sustainable transport. They are competing against ICE vehicles not other EVs. Time to "refill" is a common marketing point for polluting gas/diesel cars and SUVs. Tesla knows this and are both expanding Superchargers and "speeding them up" so...

This seems like a good thing for the legacy auto manufacturers to lobby for. Wouldn't cost much and would blunt Tesla's accelerating lead in EV adoption. Unlike Tesla, legacy auto cares little about advancing sustainable transport. So, let's take a model for something that works very well...
