Seems to be a wrap over a standard black car. That's not a Tesla color.

​​​​​​Wraps today are insanely good. Just look up a few of the more popular installers on YouTube (RBD). Wraps are so good these days, some of them are honestly better than paint. Ridiculous the stuff that is out there today.

Yet it dropped almost 10%. Good news for those plan on buying and bad news for the folks who recently bought.

They are discounting until 12/31 to equalize the bubble of people who have otherwise delayed their orders until 2023 to get the federal $7500 tax credit. There is no doubt that 4Q2022 Tesla sales will be down, could be a good buying opportunity to get the stock under $100 a share. Tesla isn't going anywhere - if they go down, the entire EV push is dead.

I've added more TSLA and will add more as the price drops. There's a ton of upside from TSLA now.

Yeah, it's getting brutalized right now. Thought I was out on Tesla for good, but this is making me reconsider

Just saw this in a FB group of Trackhos... A modded Model 3 Performance went up to my fav track, Thunderhill, and took overall top spot in an open SCCA time trials! Wow!



Crazy this thing can rip so hard! Here are some videos he shared as well:

If the Highland refresh has more power or a mini-Plaid version, I may pick it up as a dedicated track toy...
