I bought already several Mercedes so I am a good client which can get favors. Did not buy one because of limited range. I drive high speed (+200 km/h) , so very bad for EV's as the battery suffers alot from that. I do frequent +1000 km trips. So took the GLC 43. I live in EU.
wow, outside some of Germany's autobahns I don't know where you can drive that fast in Europe and not lose your license if you get caught! I've noted a significant slow down on European highways over the last 20 years, when the 130 km/h speed limit was the minimum speed. Now, most cars stay within the limit. I'm planning the conversion of a classic Citroen DS to an EV, a 3 year project!
My high speed trips are when I cross Germany. But it becomes more and more difficult as there are more parts of the Autobahn where you cannot drive that speed anymore. On this map you can see on which roads you still can drive unlimited speed (Blue color). Green is 130 km/h.
Earnings today after hours. Folks say they are putting our earnings earlier than usual. I have no observational experience but others report this is only done with good news. https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/...rd-quarter-2020-financial-results-and-webcast I'd encourage all armchair quarterbacks to get in the game by shorting shares and with OOM puts. Put your money where your mouth is...

I wanted to follow up on my pre Q3 expectations which turned out to be correct this time. Here's my fundamental issue... The Tsla buying Originals, those who bought at sub $50, represent a sizeable number of shareholders and created the YouTube channels and chatrooms that fluff up Tesla, these Originals aren't willing to buy at 450. They want the thousands of newbies to take the risk that they aren't willing to take! So, if you're a true believer, why not sell a couple million dollars worth of Tsla and buy back at 450, you know, to demonstrate how much you believe...
