Since I probably won't get my CT until mid 2024 or later the Boss Lady and I went shopping for a newer truck to replace her aged 2004 Dodge 3500 dually. We made a 200 mile round trip yesterday and the beast is starting to have issues. Since I don't want to have to worry about her being broken...

I watched the meeting on line and I was not surprised by anything Elon Musk mainly because I follow this guy on YouTube. Most of the predictions he made in previous videos were confirmed today at the meeting. He gave a very good synopsis of what Elon said. I especially liked what he said about...

Because for the most part most of their factories are located in the southeast or other states with right to work laws. Very few of them are union shops. The cost of doing business is also a lot lower in these areas. There are Honda, Mercedes, Toyota and Kia plants located within 200 miles of...

Tesla: "Hold my beer and watch this."

No oil in antifreeze and no antifreeze in the oil. She says she has not let it overheat so maybe no engine damage. She has a shop that usually does repairs and cuts her a lot of slack on repairs. Next week we'll prob run it over there and let them check it out.

Today the Boss Lady and I went to Atlanta to pick up something. She has an 04 Dodge 3500 dually. The truck has been nickle and diming her to death but we have kept it on life support because she doesn't want a payment (she has limited income). She's gotten into a deal where she will have to make...

Rumor control has it that the $7500 will go straight to the dealer instead of being a tax credit on your income tax (which a lot of us don't pay). I'd buy the CT without a tax credit/rebate but if I can get that much removed from my purchase price all the better. Just means I can pay it off...

Well judging by the poll it looks like the yoke is on us. I'll just see myself out.

I beg to differ with you on a well educated and healthy workforce not being available. Volkswagon near Chattanooga (other end of the state) has no problem getting young, healthy workers. Most state vocational schools work with major manufacturing companies with training programs tailored to...

This guy is one of the people I follow on YouTube. He convinced me I should buy stock in Tesla. Wish I had bought it five years ago. Here is his forecast for the growth of Tesla and their stock for the next ten years,

I took my Nissan van in for service the other day and discovered that they have not one but three Teslas for sale. Two are used Model 3's. https://www.nissanofgadsden.com/used-inventory/index.htm?make=Tesla&model=Model%203 Since I'm not read into how Teslas are equipped and priced I was just...

Update... the Shareholders meeting will be virtual. So I guess no elbow rubbing with the upper crust and movers and shakers at Tesla.

Any of you other Alabama Tesla fans going to attend this? Coming up Sat. Oct. 5th: https://driveelectricweek.org/event?eventid=2624

Back in the day old Akio would have to fall on his sword (literally) to save face from failing as a leader.

If Tesla ever does a commercial for the Cybertruck this guy needs to be standing in the bed playing the bagpipes.

You can bet that the ambulance chasers were passing out cards in the Emergency Room. There would be a lot less of these lawsuits if the plaintiffs had to pay the legal costs of the defendants if they lost. 95 percent of all trial lawyers make the other 5 percent look bad.

That may have been true in the past but a company that needs skilled workers will often offer relocation assistance/compensation. A few years ago on a network weekly news program (can't remember which network or program) there was a story about a factory owner near LA that got tired of being...

I'm always up for a road trip. A little over 13 hours depending on traffic and bathroom/food stops. Any other shareholders in Alabama want to ride along or convoy out there and show the flag? Any Tesla owners nearby going out there?

I took my Nissan van in for an oil change and some other services yesterday. The service manager told me they had two Teslas on the lot. One was a Plaid that the dealership owner bought for himself (there are often exotic cars on the showroom floor) and there is a 2018 out on the used sales lot...

A few years ago when I was pursuing a degree in Communications I wrote a term paper on the boom in railroad construction after the Civil War. There were a lot of grifters and scam artists that ran schemes to get people to invest in the railroad industry. Railroads were the DOT COMS of their...
