@MyTeslaMoonship Finally used FSD today ('navigate home') from the SC after the tint place. I only lasted a few miles and then zoomied on the freeway.

With FSD the way it is, I think 93% is wonderful amount of FSD usage. ☺️ Do Performances need a stat to count the amount of zoooooooooooooms we do? 😝 I did one today.

@TechOperator @TitaniumTomP The worst part for me has become the insane hiring process overhead and HR rules.

@TitaniumTomP Exactly! That next EOL replacement strategy, the next metrics and KPIs decks, that red project that no one can seem to get back on track, the upcoming ELT presentation, next months budget actuals, etc etc!

8 more working days and I’ll be a man of leisure. 😎

@SDembraski Thanks. My son keeps looking out in the garage and saying that as well. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for how it looks, but I try to enjoy it as well! I have a weakness for four-door black sedans!

@bowste42 Looks amazing!

If only you could get a year of free gas like you can get a free year of Supercharging or even lifetime free Supercharging that some have.

@SDembraski The 'free' charging only costs a few tens of thousands more than the models without it. I'm going to need to drive a LOT!

@bowste42 and you get lifetime Supercharging. Very Jealous lol

@bowste42 and its a V4 charger!

@jchenone20 @ChatCharge That's something I'm going to need to get used to next month. I only made a handful of stops from San Diego to Mpls in an ICE vehicle a couple weeks ago.

Haha yes!! And the journey begins!! @ChatCharge

@srobo1_ @HeidingOut So I should post my insurance bill now that I added the Plaid?

@HeidingOut People love to see failure. It makes them feel good about themselves. I lost a good trade. Crickets. I lost a down $100K day and it explodes 😂

X loves misery. I post banger after banger for literally weeks, and I've gotten my friends (always grateful for you guys 🫶) who like my post. But, I post I'm getting nuked, and it sees 500% more likes. You guys love blood don't you?

@TechOperator @congressdj @JCChristopher Well... you will have time on your hands :)

@congressdj @JCChristopher Awesome 🙌 - I look forward to meeting each of you one day!

Just a couple of GenX Tesla fanboys reminiscing about the good ole days while live-streaming Tesla talk while FSD takes us around Houston. Instant friends with @JCChristopher! Thanks for the airport pickup and hanging out! Love this community!

@spotted_model @jeremyjudkins_ A classic!!!

Hey @jeremyjudkins_ , this is pretty close to my house if you want me to pick it up for you

Don't have a bunch of your kids living in your house, or you get this: 2026 S Plaid is $2,561 (6 mo) 2016 KIA Sportage is $1,297 2007 Camry is $643 $500 ded What I don't have is what the cost of a 'regular' 2026 vehicle would be for me. The others are 10+ ys old. Given the $1300 for an old kia, I'm not surprised by the Plaid.

@mikepat711 Mike, I have heard the cost of insurance for Tesla is very high. What's your experience on that?

The ultimate travel vehicle. Nothing compares.

I only added 2kw :). Just wanted to make sure it all worked. I wish I could set the home level to 20% so I could plug it in every night without charging, but 50 is min. I could then SC from 20-60 when we are out shopping. I don't want to go higher than that unless I need to. Not much sense SCing from 50 to 60.

@bowste42 @_UltraSoft_ @LifeofV42 @MyTeslaMoonship @TechOperator Free supercharging is great. I have it on mine for another year and a half however still use home charging as its hard to beat that level of convenience.

$1.00/kWh Destination Charger in a remote area on the California coast. I think that’s cheap for a 9kW charger 😆 @LifeofV42 @bowste42 @MyTeslaMoonship @DBurkland @TechOperator

@mikepat711 I guess :(. But at least it's super quick, so I have that to lean on. And with 'free' supercharging (ie pre-paid upfront in the initial cost), I'll never have to worry about the cost of energy on a trip.

@bowste42 Nope huge piece of shit

@DBurkland @_UltraSoft_ @LifeofV42 @MyTeslaMoonship @TechOperator I supercharged my girlfriend today for the first time. It was strange to see no cost. Of course that won't help me at a destination charger like the ones you are looking at.

@_UltraSoft_ @LifeofV42 @bowste42 @MyTeslaMoonship @TechOperator Cheap is relative for sure haha

@BoBbyPleWniaK @Jeremywmerchant Easy peasy. 25% is just a gentle bump now to most of us.

@Jeremywmerchant wild when 25% is just a walk in the park now. We are a special kind of crazy.

It'll be hilarious if tomorrow is the bottom for $TSLA this year. I scrolled the dates on the 1-year chart, and March 20, 2025, was the low of 2025 from a December 17 high. This time it's a December 23 high, and it's been straight down to now, March 19. Unreal how this stock does this. Last year it was a 50% drawdown; this year it's been 25%.

@TJTheWheelDeal I haven't even looked

How's everyone holding up today? I haven't made any moves!

@srobo1_ @CompoundCurious Who's making all that money?!! Hey @grok, how do home prices stay so high in California? Clearly, the supply doesn't exceed the demand, or the prices would fall. How are there so many people who can afford a median home price of $1M?

@CompoundCurious My 25 year old son, 3 years out of college, works outside Los Angeles. Makes $140,000/year. Average house for sale is $3,000,000 around him.

Struggling to pay or they don’t want to own the house and like renting for life mantra !

@mrfundman @TSLAshareholder You are good! I'm always out of funds after going all-in about halfway up that ramp after the first dip.

😂

@TeslaXrp Thanks! I'm am very lucky (this car) and blessed (my wife and family).

@bowste42 Very nice lucky ma beautiful car ..

< 3 days! I'll be taking a long lunch on Tuesday to go pick up my new girlfriend. I've spent so much time online buying things for her that my wife is kinda annoyed already. She's really going to start rolling her eyes when I'm out sleeping in the garage with the girlfriend.
