@darrenv96@CharlesSchwab Ha - yeah. I bet a lot of people are thinking the same. I only snagged 14. Long term it’s all dirt cheap IMO. But I get the feeling. 😂
@niccruzpatane It’s kinda sad that SpaceX now has to deal with all the FUD bullshit. Before going public they failed again and again. Until they didn’t.
Just a reminder for anyone new here:
If you see Starship land softly in the ocean tonight and then blow up after tipping over, that’s completely normal.
It actually means the flight succeeded.
@BoBbyPleWniaK He doesn’t have to “sell” anything. If he did, Tesla would advertise. Just like every other automaker. They don’t. The product sells itself.
Hot Take: most people don’t actually want FSD, all people really want is a great highway drive assist.
We just did 1000 miles in our EV9 yesterday using Kia’s HDA 2 for 95% of the interstate driving. It’s so nice to be able to control the exact speed I want to go, follow in a distance I want to follow, and be in the lane I want to be in without an arbitrary profile telling me what it wants to do.
Tesla will not release unsupervised FSD to this public this year in large areas and there is a technical reason behind it: v15.
Anytime Tesla releases a new model, we can see some regression before it becomes mature. These issues are not really safety issues, v14.3 was always safe, but convenience and comfort issues. The human intervention data that Tesla gets during the roll-out of a new model are the golden signal to identify these issues and therefore fix them.
We can expect similar regressions during the v15 roll-out, and Tesla will need to use its supervised test fleet to fix all these issues.
On the long term it is not sustainable. But Tesla is learning every time, adding new constraints to the reward function used to train the AI. We can already see that v14 initial version was way better than v13 first shot. Soon, a small Tesla owned test fleet, like the Farzads for the Cybercabs, will be enough to validate a new unsupervised model.
Yeah - not sure why the fuss. I bought SPCX (as much as I could get pre-IPO). Bought because I believe in the company and the mission - and the CEO and the founder. Market gyration is irrelevant unless you’re a trader. And if you’re a trader - the more swing the better. As an investor this is just noise.
SpaceX $SPCX pre-IPO investors are in bag holder territory now
No chance those who bought at $220 a few weeks ago are happy seeing the current price. This goes for all shareholders — me included.
Elon has created a ton of bag holders.
When pre IPO shares unlock, unless they desperately need the cash, I don’t see how they sell here. $135 now feels very different than it did before. Once you’ve seen $220, that becomes the new baseline. Everything under it feels like a loss.
Same thing with $TSLA hitting $498. $SPCX shareholders feel even more underwater from an ATH perspective.
Pretty wild dynamic.
I went to Kroger today and when I came out I summoned my Tesla from across the parking lot. A manager was out grabbing carts and I watched, as he watched in awe. The car came to me in front of the store and I was loading my groceries when he appeared, having walked across the parking lot to ask me all about the car he just witnessed drive itself. He asked if it drives everywhere, how far I can go, how much it was and how much it cost to charge. I think I just converted someone to Tesla. Y'all use summons! 🔥 $TSLA
$TSLA Getting super close to decision time
When it gets this tight ahead of earnings it’s historically been good things believe it or not

@SawyerMerritt SpaceX is gonna be a wild ride for investors, no doubt. Literally. The rocket goes up - yay! Stock price goes up! The rocket does not go up. Boo. Stock price goes down. 😂 The media is gonna have a heyday with this. Amateur investors will be sweating bullets.
SpaceX has officially announced that they are targeting Thursday, July 16th at 6:30 PM ET for their 13th Starship test flight, and the second V3 test flight.
The upcoming flight will aim to complete similar objectives targeted on the previous flight test, which debuted the Starship and Super Heavy V3 vehicles, while also carrying next-generation Starlink V3 satellites for the first time.
The booster’s primary test objective will be executing a successful launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and landing burn at an offshore landing point in the Gulf of America. There have been several modifications to hardware and software to address issues seen on the previous flight.
I almost puked up my lunch on the way back from the diner with a 0.6 G-force stop for a red light that FSD could have easily slowed for on yellow. 🤮
@TesCamStudio, watch the G-force on the bottom left!
Ha - 43k miles in my 2024 Y. FSD 98% of the time. Would never consider another vehicle without Tesla FSD. Rush-hour is a hassle no longer! 😄 Big thanks to all the smarty pants at Tesla for making it happen, and for Elon having the courage to risk it all. Tesla FSD is saving lives every day.
Horrible first impression v14.3.5 on my 2025 Tesla Model 3 LR RWD Premium 😭
3 terrible parking jobs in 23 min including parking on a ramp in a business park & parking perpendicular out in the road on street only parking situation.
Wish I had a better drive but I still believe in the future!
@M44_1RJ Short selling exists as normal market mechanics, and there are new avoidance products for Musk-skeptics, but not a dominant “network” of anti-Elon shorts crushing his companies right now. Just buy what you know and love and enjoy your summer.
Shorts have been given lucrative opportunities and comfortable times shorting $TSLA for over 15 years, and specifically the last 5 years that gave them the highest yield ever — as of today, it’s estimated at over $58B in profit in just 5 years.
Now they have SpaceX $SPCX that they entered with over 35% of the float shorted from $226 down to $140 — that’s almost $9B paper gains in less than 30 days!
@elonmusk, you’re being targeted heavily on Wall Street by a network of short sellers, aka “Anti-Elon Short Funds & ETFs”!

Is Elon going to do something for his investors at some point?!
@SawyerMerritt Right-really miss the putt-putt of my ICE- not! 😂 It’s like they just can’t move on in their own minds. They prefer to play make believe.
Lexus says its upcoming all-electric LFA supercar will use vibrations and other sensory feedback to mimic the feel of a combustion engine.
"We’re not just wanting to replicate the sound of the engine: we want to redesign the sound itself so the car feels more alive and authentically connected."
The production version of the car is expected to be unveiled at the end of this year/early next year. Concept unveiled in Dec 2025:
