I was just saying that that amount of assets at his age would imply a savings rate higher than $20k/yr. The poster's assumed rates were conservative. Obviously actual returns can vary wildly...but you have to make assumptions to have a plan, so... (I'll stop on this sub-topic. Clearly it's...

He would need to put in ~$20k/yr to hit 7 figures given a global 6% return. Not a stretch.

Wow, your posts are usually pretty good - not sure where the semi-snark is coming from, nor why it was your go-to before actually trying to understand my question. Did you actually think I meant (or implied) that I could directly see my own front bumper while driving??? Cmon man…smh. Relax, drop...

not sure if this has been discussed - with the single plane window/frunk, do “we” think there would be an issue knowing where the front ends (for avoiding clipping something)? Or will there presumable be front cameras to help with that? Tyty.

I have two tri motors on order. I ordered right after Elon said "and they're available for order now on our site". I ordered one, but got a funky error message from apple pay. So I did it again, same thing. Woke up the next morning with two confirmed reservations. Called my cousin and told him...

What's the big deal. Every car I've ever bought had add-ons you could argue were important. Floor mats? And please stop using the "potentially life saving" argument. Should they also provide free waterproof matches and MREs? How about an epi pen? They're cheap right, and could save lives. And we...

Wont be a problem if they implement the heated body panel I suggested :)

I don’t have a “fascination” about solar panels, but I expect my CT to get light use, probably spending time in a commuter lot quite often. Solar panels would potentially give me 50%+ of my required energy - it would be cool to not even have to charge it at home more than a few times a year...

I’d love to - but I have two ordered so that would be tough unless a family member buys the second one. ? Given it’s 1200 miles, it would be my first experience navigating based on supercharger locations...would also give great real world indication of true range. My position in line is around...

Haha. The good news: neurolink can control your CT. The bad news: if you’re drunk, your CT is drunk. ? another possible unintended effect - if you are using neuralink...and fall asleep...and start dreaming about the Mad Mad movie you watched last night or when you were playing grand theft auto...

That last seat option also turns the CT into a shag wagon - a kid shows up to pick up your daughter in a CT and you’ll be like “why don’t you guys take my porsche? Go have some good, clean fun!”

If you have dirt all over your hands and don’t want to get the door handle dirty...what’s gonna happen when you get into the vehicle and grab the steering wheel? Different when full-auto driving is a reality though. All muddy? Just jump in the vault and say “hey Siri - drive me home”. Maybe as...

What about using light abrasives to make a pattern in the finish? I see this on kitchen appliances and other decorative stainless surfaces. Looks cool, but you’d probably need either a computer controlled machine or artist to make it look good. Or...some kind if bead blasting finish could look...

So one thing that’s always bugged me about vehicles - it can be a giant project to repair simple interior pieces that get most of the daily wear and tear. For example - I have a range rover suv. The interior is gorgeous. But - all the trim near high use areas get scratched, like the wood...

I think dampening/springed is a given for the frunk. Possibly powered. The tail should be dampened imo at a minimum, powered as an option (maybe std on trimotor). I hear the concerns of some with the gravel/dirt issues on the tail...one easy solution would be to make it so powerful it crushed...
