Keep in mind that if you've held the shares for less than a year the appreciation may be taxed at regular tax rates instead of capital gains rate.

Yes, and that's exactly what the Founder's Edition is about. TSLA knows that there are some of us that will pay a premium to get the CT now. So they let some folks jump the line for $20K. Now they DO add value to the package but notice that what they add does not cost them much at wholesale...

What is LIFETIME PREMIUM CONNECTIVITY? is this internet or charging?

Stones Brand New Car "Take her on the highway for a little spin I want to see the kind of shape she's in And I, I got a brand new star"

Thanks for the catch. Corrected now. BUT maybe the extender could be an inch or two higher to fit inside the slope of the vault if the pack is narrower. Depends on if they can stack batteries maybe.

Asking with the perfect confidence of complete ignorance. What if they offered a 1/2 pack extender? That would take up 1 foot of bed space (1/6 of the bed) which would allow a 4X8 plywood sheet hanging over the tailgate by 1'. Maybe add 60 miles to the range so 400 miles on the AWD and 380 on...

Thanks @Crissa! Now Yahoo News can report: "In a poll of in-touch reservation holders, 72% say that they would purchase the Cybertruck at the announced specifications and prices." That would have about as much validity as their last poll of 20% of non-reservation holders, but would be great...

That would probably make a good poll here. Reservation holders, if you had the opportunity on 1/1/24 to buy one of the two Cybertruck models that are to be offered in 2024, which would you buy? *The Beast *The AWD *Neither

The way I read it was reservation holders were not included in the survey. "Canaccord would not disclose the total number of people surveyed, but did note that it included a broad group of respondents who were not among the 2 million Cybertruck reservation holders."

Speculation here on the forum is that since FSD wasn't mentioned at the delivery that it's not ready in Cybertruck. That's just speculation so far I think. If it's true, I wonder how many hours of video Tesla will need in order for their AI to make FSD work. Another reason to hope for a steep...

Thanks @JBee! So if it gains this efficiency, why doesn't the Beast get longer range than the AWD? It's only heavier by the weight of one motor. The range difference doesn't make sense to me.

Forgot to finish the thought. ...If that's the case, maybe we'll see a range increase in the Beast. It might be a factor in why FSD isn't fully baked in the CT yet.

I’m wondering why the Beast has two permanent magnet motors in the rear and an induction motor in the front. As I gather from posts here on the forum, induction motors have a “back EMF” force that doesn’t allow them to “free spin” without power. I think permanent magnet motors will free spin...

LOL Don't I know it!. Thanks for the great advice. I didn't realize that options would be treated the same. My understanding of the wash rule (researching it this week) it that these short-term trades are legal and fine with the IRS as long as you don't take the sale as a loss on your taxes...

Great point. This may be a good time for me to learn about options. As I understand it a Put would do the same thing and I don't need to fool with my existing stock. I'm just doing this to learn and am not risking any more than I can "comfortably" lose.

Thank you all for the time you took for your thoughtful replies. The stock market reminds me of pro sports. Some are players, some like to watch, and some gamble. I think you're right that TSLA will grow long-term and buy and hold is the strategy. It's just hard to watch these 10%+ ups and...

@Tinker71 brought up an issue in another thread about what will happen to TSLA stock price after the 11/30 reveal. That got me thinking about selling some now and buying it back later. So given the fact that nobody knows what will happen, what do you predict will happen to TSLA stock on 11/30...

If this is an NHSTA test, no wonder it's voluntary...

And maybe make it simpler to build trucks with steering wheel on the right side of the cabin for "drive on the right side of the road" friends...

That's a pretty tight turn and I don't see the rear wheels steering. Does 4 wheel steering work when in reverse?
