Tesla Talk 2

If it all goes tits up and Tesla disappears in a puff of smoke at least you have a car to show for it. With the shares it could all disappear in to the ether. Just find an independent mechanic.

You enjoyed the 20-30% drop in value of your shares in VW year on year while the TSLA owners have enjoyed huge increases over the same 5 years? And you suggest others destroy their money same as you did?

Who says I have seen 30 yoy drop. I have been buying aggressively when it drops below a particular level in the last year and doing quite well out of it. The dividends are lovely. Different mentality to that of Tesla share speculators.

You are a speculator the same as anyone else making a bet on a single company.

Seriously dude 😂

They will pay you your dividend (with borrowed money) until the day VOW3 is down to €0.00. I had them too, made some modest gains, had a few rounds of dividend, but glad I got the hell out before the decline started years ago. I hope VW will come out of this one of the big players, but it is not very likely.

Dear oh dear. I'm not even gonna start on this one.

For the life of me I have no idea who you are (as in your former boards username). We have had plenty of loonies in here, but I don't recall anyone spouting insane financial advice like this

There's a whole sub-forum for all this nonsense:

Knowing a VIN is a useful piece of information in deciphering what you will get and from where

Grok is installing on Teslas in Irl and some other countries around now. Should be a nice upgrade.

Reading the threads of legacy makers service offerings by the franchised dealers (latest VW ID.4 "there is no recall on door handles in Ireland" and Hyundai "random dealer trying to diagnose a battery fault" or "Your ICCU will leave you stranded on the side of the road").

I'm so happy about the central Tesla approach: The techs have access to global knowledge base and are not focused on the routine wallet surgery tasks like scheduled services but actually seem to be on ball on how to repair the faults.

And then we have the software side: I don't think the general public knows how things just work at Tesla. I can't remember a single software issue on my more than 4 years of owning the Model 3. Same with SuC. Stuff just works and if it doesn't Tesla will look after you. If you haven't experienced this you don't realise how good ownership experience it is.

Of course. Acquaintances of mine have had model S ex shuttles with free supercharging and have unicorn model S.
