Invest in Tesla — why? Simple thoughts:
- The Model S might be the best car in the world. Why? It isn’t a car — it’s a mini autonomous self driving house/mini-RV. In case of a zombie apocalypse, you can definitely live out of one.
- Unfortunately traffic — public transportation is not the future because of COVID. People will prefer to drive themselves and prefer sanitation. Autopilot is the best future to beat the fatigue of driving.
- Elon Musk is the only interesting living entrepreneur, besides Kanye West.
- Speed, endurance, range — what everyone desires in a car.
- The rich are only getting richer — and cheaper to buy a Tesla than a house.
- 30 years from now, Tesla as a company will only become greater.
- 400 miles: The ultimate range. Eventually the Model 3 will probably get a 400 mile range battery. 400 miles enough from Norcal to Socal — the ultimate test. Even socal to Joshua Tree is only 120 miles— and there is a Tesla supercharging station next to Turtle Rock Casino closeby. 29 palms also as a great place. I cannot wait until Yucca Valley gets a Tesla supercharging station. Or make an Airbnb with a electric charging port.
- Don’t die today: Less likely to die in a car crash from a Tesla than a normal car.
- The minivan of the future: Rich people won’t stop having kids. Tesla Model X as the ultimate minivan— guys will be able to convince their wives to buy a Tesla Model X because it is “safe” and “good for the kids”. Why do they show the quarter mile drag race time for a Tesla Model X Plaid? To make guys who were once into sports cars (Porsche 911, etc), feel less shame driving a minivan with the kids.
- California will eventually ban gasoline cars: Perhaps 20 years from now, California will no longer allow the new manufacture of gasoline cars.
- In regards to battery life on electric cars — compare the iPhone 3G to the new iPhone Pro. iPhone Pro battery can easily last 2-3 days, and recharges insanely fast now. Same will happen with Tesla and electric cars.
- Tesla is synonymous with electric car, just like when people mean to talk about Bitcoin when they talk about “crypto”, or talk about “Kleenex” instead of “tissue”.
- $126,000 for a Tesla Model X plaid: Cheaper than an RV, camper van, and house. If I were a single millennial tech worker, I’d just be “homeless” and live out of my Tesla Model X than pay rent in SF/Bay Area.
- When Tesla gets their Semi out — this will be the game changer for moving commerce. Great idea: The Tesla will complement drivers, rather than replace them. Also, there is currently a huge shortage of truck drivers. Imagine if your shipping company had a Tesla semi that you could drive, there would be tons of eager would be truck drivers who would sign up.
- Solar is the future: it might take another 30 years, but we will eventually get there. Think about all the untapped sunpower left in the desert.
- The truck of the future? It seems that Americans love trucks. And let us not forget that Tesla is technically an American company. Once the cyber truck finally comes out, I’m sure there will be a lot of people who trade in their Ford F1 50s for a cyber truck instead.
- Tesla and Elon Musk has successfully created a cult, or a culture: This is how Apple became so successful, because honestly, Apple and Apple products are a quasi-religion and cult for atheist tech lovers.
- The Tesla model Y is actually surprisingly affordable for what it is: In the suburbs, it seems like it is the most popular new family car. Around $60,000 is actually quite affordable for what it is, especially when comparing it to a Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc.
- A super basic Tesla Model 3– $45,000. Not cheap, but, assuming you make monthly payments, even a quasi-normal person could afford one.
