You’re very welcome!

I’ve been keeping some powder dry since about 2019 - in your mind, you always knew that it couldn’t keep going up like this forever, and that a lot of the “gains” were merely the product of over a decade of stimulus/low rates... But I suppose we still get surprised on the day that the bubble bursts...

When it comes to stock prices, missing third party analyst targets is bad enough - but missing your own targets (given that a company is expected to have more details and confidential information on their business, strengths and weaknesses, etc.) is going to be punished.

Just simple stuff.... I need to get the Dash Control Interface module to work on my S2000 so I can use the controls by the steering wheel with my aftermarket head unit (which all have tiny buttons that are trickier to operate at speed).

Beautiful car - but from this angle and with those wheels, it looks like a 2-door Tesla Model S (not necessarily a bad thing, as that’s the best Tesla).

Betcha Andrew Taint only drives those cars in straight lines.

Fair point... Can't make that happen without the electorate seeing the need... Which isn't possible in the current environment 

Elon: hold my beer

The case for TSLA at those valuations was gone by the time legacy marques had their own EVs.

I'd love for it to drop out of the S&P500 altogether... Not thrilled with it being part of my ETF holdings.... 

Do we have the political will to remove even some of the subsidies that keep gas prices artificially low?

The detractors are enjoying the viewing with some nice popcorn and a tall glass of schadenfreude.

Elon banned the ElonJet tracker because its use of (publicly-available) information (allegedly) led to a stalker attacking his son.

Minor quibble - Japan is on the ring of fire. Hot springs are a thing there too.

I think we need to remember that the energy and resource situation in Japan is very different from North America.

Yup. That was probably more for the “benefit” (or “naive consumption”) of nervous Tesla shareholders.

Oh for sure - the SEC involvement would only pertain to manipulation of Tesla - not unlike previous problematic tweets. Though incidental, you could make the argument any impact on Tesla (and there was some) was intentional. 

This is also absolutely correct. 

Is “should I step down/I will abide” the new “$420, funding secured”?
