The most wanted car brand in the world

I've got ours at $205 for Tesla. Doubt it happens but we will see. Aug 18. Own 3200 shares outright. Bought at $231. Interesting stock

Own the same number of rivian shares. Bought at 20. 25 now.

W the same number of shares owned. Total coincidence. My

Rivian is worth 78k. Tesla 890k

The volatility of Tesla stock is interesting. Adrenaline rush when it takes off. You have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable if you own it. Pre 2019 I thought Musk was a cowboy who was likely to end up in jail in some SEC stock fraud investigation. Just didn't trust him. In March 2019 I made an impulsive decision to buy a Tesla car online without ever driving it. My wife was " you sure you want to buy a $100,000 dollar car without ever seeing it or driving it?" Hahahaha. It sounded like a bad idea. Tesla gives you 30 days after you take delivery to return it, I said let's go. The car blew me away. No car keys, over the air software updates, crazy acceleration, fun drive.

No Maintenance ever, easy charging at home. I bought the stock at $278 and rode it to $1200. Turned into a lot of cash. I took out some profit and stayed in for the stock split. That hasn't gone as well yet but I think Tesla still has a lot of room to grow revenue from car sales and leasing it's charging network and self driving technology. Everyone else is playing catch up.

Exactly. Forgot to mention that in my post. Also, their charging network gives them incredible leverage. Ford, GM and Mercedes are all at Tesla's mercy with access to the charging network. Toyota will fall in line soon. The revenue potential there is vast.

I unknowingly booked an EV rental car over the 4th of July weekend. Cost me double to get out of it, so I gave it a try. It was a Chevy Bolt . Not much to look at, however, I was surprised with the power. Paid 11.00 dollars in charging station fees for a total 4 days (some free charges at one of the hotels). I Actually saved a few hundred bucks, which will end up covering my summer egg allowance.). Overall, not too bad. Had to learn a few things to function, but not as bad as I thought. Talked to many of the "save the planet" folks at the charging stations. Still want to punch most of them in the face.

Lol, I have never driven the Chevy bolt but the gas savings is actually the least important of the benefits an EV offers. I have gotten free charges at a number of "destination" charging stations. I became a believer and idgaf about the saving the planet angle. Nothing can save the planet. All things die eventually. It's the normal order of things. I just don't want it to die before Riley gets us another national championship.
