How much clutter are people supposed to keep around their offices/houses/etc just because they were given as “gifts”?

“pathetic” is relative. 12k towing capacity is probably enough for 99% of buyers in the truck market.

Headline says 2016, picture says 2017. He needs to issue a correction.

It’s unfortunate that due to the design of the wheel they don’t fit over large brakes. I’ve always wanted a set but on my current car (like many others), I’m running a 15" wheel over a larger brake package (11" rotor) and they are the only wheel on the market that doesn’t clear.

1. 88% of their revenue in Q4 is from auto sales. They are an automotive company, not a tech company.
2. Here are the rankings from the Forbes 500. They’re mid pack in automotive (behind most OEMs but ahead of most suppliers): https://www.forbes.com/best-employers/list/#tab:rank_industries:Automotive%20(Automotive%20and…

Silver would be my target.

For reference, 3 million in a quarter is 32.9k per day...

$28 is when I was a buyer. I’ve been out for years though. :)

No “growth investor” is putting money in TSLA. What are they going to grow to? They’re ALREADY priced like GM/BMW which produce millions of units per year. Is TSLA going to be worth 100b when they start producing a million cars per year? Unlikely, but the current price already demonstrates that the market is full of…

I’m only talking about Tesla. They’re the only automaker I can think of that has headhunters on linkedin contacting literally everyone with automotive engineering experience.

They sold 2,987 in November so that seems like a safe bet.

So based on what I’m reading here, we can count on at least 18,000 Model 3 units being produced in Q1 2018, and at least 30,000 in Q2. Then if they produce 5000/week for the 2nd half, it looks like Tesla will build at least 178,000 Model 3s this year.

but he does use it as a tool to push his employees further than they think they can go and some amazing things have been created with that ethos.

I love what Tesla has achieved but their valuation is serious levels of crack pipe. This is especially true when you look at their track record for hitting deadlines/targets.

I completely missed the article about that Gears & Gasoline video and was disappointed to not see any mention of the fact they featured a girl (Savanna Little) that is literally the exact opposite of what they should be promoting for girls interested in cars. She’s seconds off pace (see: any of her race results) but…

Is Cletus still a thing?

I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion.

You can’t judge too much from mules. They’re literally designed to deceive.

If you’re interested in early retirement, check out some of Mr Money Mustache’s content. This link in particular is one of my favorites as it shows what can be accomplished if you can cut spending: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-simple-math-behind-early-retirement/

I like everything you wrote but why 5 million? 4% “rule” says you could withdraw 200k per year on that and likely never run out of money. Seems excessive on the surface but I obviously don’t know your lifestyle.
