Tesla Talk

Yes, but the off peak rate is 60c wich is still a 10c increase

I wouldn’t feel bad stealing from Elon Musk but I don’t think I could do that to my employer.

I connected a 600W continuous sine wave 12V inverter to the lead acid battery in my nosecone Tesla Model S via the jump terminals behind the nose cone, using the car's own 50A fused system. That's after modifying the car so it was always awake (so no chance of the 12V going low). Wouldn't recommend going much higher than that directly from the 12V lead acid battery in any car. It's very inefficient though using lead acids, but if you get free juice, why not.

You could of course connect directly to the DC-DC converter then you could get more power, in the Tesla easily 2kW

Or (do not try this at home), connect the high voltage battery directly to a suitable inverter in your home, like a solar PV inverter. This will draw the maximum amperage that your inverter can do times the voltage of the battery pack, so if you have a beefy inverter that can do 25A and your battery is 400V, it can provide 10kW all day long, plenty to power any house, including electric room heating and hot water heating 😎

the SP under consistent selling pressure all day today.

Q3 Kelley Blue Book data on ‘luxury brand buyer interest’ report interest in the Tesla brand dropped 10% in the quarter, one of the biggest quarterly drops ever - most likely Musk’s antics turning off potential buyers, albeit it doesn’t cover the past few weeks of twitter stewardship.

disgruntled retail Tesla shareholders giving off at their absent CEO today too, asking him not to abandon them, something we’ve seen v little of.

That would affect all brands though - consumer interest in the other luxury brands (the report is US only), were either flat or up, it’s not a metric that should ever change much.

ill try to find the report itself, I only read a synopsis and listing of the top 10

edit: here’s the report:

every SP returns to the mean-line eventually.

there’s a lot of P/E valuation being put into all those future projects announced over the past 3-4 years to show investors that they’re not just an industrial stock - it’s likely that investors are losing patience, especially as the business has lost its driving force for a few months now, and are slowly discounting the value of those projects, until such point as they actually deliver something beyond a 2 mass-model car company.

Peak forward p/e was over 900 (which was peak ‘future magical project announcements’), and it’s 50 today, still overvalued in this bear market compared to the FAANG big tech companies Musk wants them to be.

they need to deliver something magical soon, and they effectively have no CEO for months now.

no positive market reaction to the 2 recent projects, the humanoid robot, and the level 2 autonomy FSD Beta update. Both updates confirmed that the respective projects have years of work to do.

That sucks. I only got one yesterday. Used it when doing 10kph on the M50 😂

Was nice not to have to touch the wheel every few seconds. I kept alert and the drive was even more comfortable than usual. It didn't work 100% of the time either, so you really need to keep on top of it.

Best of luck with the investment. Soros's stake is still relatively small. Volatility in share price is not helped by Elon's propensity to issue unpredictable Tweets. Love him or hate him be is a loose cannon and a Company as large as Tesla without a dedicated CEO remains an issue that overhangs market sentiment . A lot of potentially positive factor are on the horizon (launch of Tesla Truck, Model 3 makeover) so hopefully yesterday's bounce in share price will benefit you and continue .

Worked for Sean Quinn, didn't it? 😁
