The ole' El Camino. those things have a cult following.

or a place for folks to share all their mods and experiences! I have a Ford Focus SE and there are multiple groups for that car, as there are many versions and it is highly customizable with aftermarket parts and such. ?? like this… https://www.focusfanatics.com/forums/ side note, 350 - 500 hp...

They should try that Corvette against a Model S Plaid... ;p

Well said. :D

It will be harder to intentionally break wheel contact with the road or dirt using a yoke, and you cant let a yoke slide past your hand. I suppose we’ll figure it out one way or another.

Maybe. From this potential customer's perspective, I won't get worked up about it until they are actually making the darn thing. ;) As I said above, from a broader perspective, if they don't have reasonable pricing for an entry level version, they are doing themselves and the EV market a...

Tesla's risk was minimal and the upside large. TESLA draws interest on all the deposits and gets to use it as working capital. This is essentially a loan to them with *extremely* favorable terms, zero percent interest with no real expiration date. Meanwhile, the value of your initial $100...

They never gave a price commitment from a legal sense, so they can do whatever they please, whenever they please, up until the point you sign the contract for delivery.

The real competition he needs to focus on is the Ford F-150 Lightning. The F-150 is the most popular vehicle in the US, so the Lightning already has a potential huge market. If Tesla doesn't capture that segment, the CT will be more of a boutique vehicle. Continually revising the CT to have...

That's the sweet spot! Dual motor with 500+ mile range.

Yes, their wild guess turned out to come true after Elon realized the Rivian had better specs than the CT. LOL!

That also conflicts with making this truck a mass produced success to compete with ICE F150s and the like. Hopefully, they'll keep a low end model at a reasonable price.

The competition is closer than a lot of people think. Other automakers already have everything they need that Tesla had to build from scratch, supply constraints on silicon and batteries aside. So it won’t take long to catch up, and given all the many car makers in the world, at least a few of...

You’re an experienced investor, but are you a successful one? These two are often not well correlated. ? As I said in a previous comment in this thread, the world where Tesla is the *only* EV maker does not and will not exist. Therefore, other manufacturers (legacy companies, new ones, and...

love it! there was a thread a while back where someone said the CT wouldn’t be useful for backcountry 4wheeling due to range/battery issues. I said all you need was an extra battery pack like you might take an extra can of gas for an ICE vehicle (and some solar panels). Glad to see it actually...

Love it. I currently work at home, but if I had to commute it is about 4 miles one way. The average US driver goes 25.9 miles per day. 15 miles a day of on-vehicle solar is super helpful. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1007157/us-daily-miles-per-driver/

Great points. It’s not so much that sentiment will go against Tesla, but that other car makers absolutely have to, and will, make competing EVs, so there is no future where Tesla is the only maker of decent EVs that people want to buy. When that happens they will no longer have a corner on...

Awesome video! See, that IS an exciting adventure! ? (as long as your on a big empty test track. LOL!)

Actually you can tax the rich enough to pay for it. The tax rates on the very wealthy used to be upwards of 40-50% in the 1950s/60s. After decades and decades of lobbying the rates are the lowest they’ve EVER been, hence the huge gap between rich and poor in the US. In any event, the tax on a...

Confused. when would you buy your shares? The number of shares does not decrease based on the price, they appreciate, which is the while point of owning shares. A MUCH better strategy would be to make your monthly deposit into a stock index fund, which would grow at the rate of the index. Of...
