Tesla Business & News Thread Pt. 2
100 percent, don't take delivery if there is anything significant you catch. I inspected my Model 3 in and out for 20 minutes before taking delivery, and would have rejected it had I found anything. I almost hope you get the black, I saw a black Plaid the other day and it was awesome looking. Harder to keep clean though
I wasn't following posts very well.. Are you getting a new Tesla? Which one this time? Congrats. It's funny with all the tension/pressure (TSLA was the top loser on my watchlist yesterday and still dropping.
) I can see a new Tesla for me in near future. Lol. How are CL folks responding to all this crap? Selling? Switching brands/choices?
) I can see a new Tesla for me in near future. Lol. How are CL folks responding to all this crap? Selling? Switching brands/choices?I sold all my TSLA @$351, made decent money, although they were short term, so I had to pay higher taxes, and had to get creative
. I re-bought about 100 shares when it dropped to around $260, those I'm going to hold on to, and the rest of the proceeds I put it in an S&P 500 index fund, which are all down, but not too bad.
As far as switching brands...nope. I already have the cars I need right now, I don't foresee buying anything for the next 5 to 10 years, unless I have an accident and one of my cars gets totaled, stolen etc. Also economy looks like it's headed for the crapper, so there's that as well

Yes as Hameed said I am just getting another Plaid, same color combo as before, white with black interior, but at least it will have the updated headlights, tailights, roof, seats and screens. I even ordered new wheels for it already but going with 21" wheels this time instead of 20".
Some ditching their Teslas because they're worried about vandalism. As crazy as it sounds, I saw a post online this guy walking in an airport parking lot and (secretly) keying a Tesla. You might have seen that video as well. The idiot didn't know the car could record his action. Now he is really famous! Believe or not... I'm still holding some shorts 
Nice. I've had two same generation cars/SUVs three times now. But I've never had same combo before. I liked them too much but not enough to keep same combo. Going from 21" to 20"... does it have air?

Apparently these do a decent job for next to nothing. These are from Jamie Sig. I'm sure you've seen all the Signature wheels he sells Shim kit

0.0000000000000001% is my guess.
Just a few more zeroes there, and you'd have had sufficient decimal places to have been able to calculate the circumference of the observable universe to within the width of a single hydrogen atom. And you were so close!
Actually, I'm wrong about that. It would probably **** off the rest of the country that he probably needs as a possible future customer base. Tesla's board better keep him. The people that are mad won't change their mind if he is fired, and the people he needs in the future would punish them for doing so.

I don’t agree that the people “who are mad” (who are Tesla’s core customer base) wouldn’t change their mind. In fact I think seeing Tesla remove him would actually
make those people want to buy Teslas.
The demographic that is in Elon’s camp right now are not likely to be Tesla consumers.

A company can’t move forward without their core customer base.
