@TeslaCharts thread about missing M3s got me to go back to the Tesla store today. More had showed since Sunday. Total of 36 now. Some were still in the same spot, some had been moved. Most in the back hadn't moved. The three in the very northwest corner of the lot haven't moved.
Found another factory gated car. And two more GA4 tent cars had showed up.
I also took photos of every windshield VIN sticker in case anyone wants them. Not every car had one, but I got 15 vins if anyone wants them, DM me.
Hypocrite, thy name is Tesla.
Whoop, correction. Only two on the NW corner hadn't moved. Red and black. White car on the left was different. I also took a blurry pic of some cobwebs/debri around the tire on the black car since apparently rotor rust happens instantaneously 🙄

Alright, here's a summary of all of the technical shit that was wrong with the presentation tonight. $TSLAQ, please feel free to chime in on anything I miss or get wrong. Guys like @CoverDrive12, @ex_Tesla, and I instantly see all the issues with the bullshit idea that
was proposed tonight. This is never going to fucking happen. He should have been more patient and held out for the electric skate concept that he originally sold people on. Something that the car just simply sits on top of. That way, the energy being used to transport the vehicle
is used efficiently and isn't lost to the drag coefficient of a big SUV body. Plus with a skate, you could pull energy from the grid as necessary. That's actually a sellable idea/conjob in SV. But no. He had to fucking rush and push out this bullshit concept to the public of

1/ Nope! TC systems are activated/controlled using the ABS module, which has tiny solenoids that move crazy fast. I can't say if one is better than the other without a really, REALLY detailed insight of how exactly the TC would work on a Tesla. But from the way he described it,
2/ there's no operational benefit. The TC system on ICE cars uses the ABS module to apply pressure to individual calipers (all four wheel speeds/torque outputs are capable of being independently controlled without user input) which, when paired with open or limited slip
3/ differentials, can manage to prevent a car's yaw (rotation, ie spinning out) most of the time. The engine and transmission modules are also typically part of the equation on the same powertrain CAN network, which works in sync with the ABS to reduce engine torque along with

1/ Someone poke holes in this for me, if you can. Right now we have:
- Thousands of cars just sitting in storage.
- Cars at stores that have been there for weeks/months.
- Said stores are increasingly filling up with with cars to brink of capacity.
- Tesla is now advertising.
2/ - Tesla just began hiring at a call center in Las Vegas which is described as "communicate with current and PROSPECTIVE buyers"
- TMC Delivery tracker numbers are still very, suspiciously low.
- People are reporting initial order to delivery times as low as 2 to 3 weeks.
3/ Based on this, here is my rough timeline of events that have led us here.
- Production increases in spring, Tesla begins inviting more and more to configure. But the conversion rate sucks, and most people who do configure decline expensive upgrade packages and options.

A Night in Helltown Story #Thread
I was a freelance photographer, freelance portrait artist, freelance writer, and a professional gamer. Well, I was actually rolling in money, but still lived a private and secluded life, loved by many, friend to none, and it just had to be that way if I still wanted to cohabit
peacefully with others.
I was born with a curse, one that some call a ‘unique gift’. Where the normal human sense would pick up the strange smell of burning rubber and sulphur in unusual places, I could see the demon itself, yeah! I could see and hear angels, demons, and ghosts

2018 has been a great year and I have recounted on the great things that happened in it already here 👇

#Thread is the list books I consumed during the year

1. It started with Art of War - Sun Tzu
Valuable strategy in the book for life and business, I have it in my 2019 list again

2. Zero to One - @peterthiel
Impressive look into the art of innovation
3. Blue Ocean Strategy - Renée and Chan
One of the best reads of 2018
I went on recommending it throughout the year.

A compelling view of how to carve for your organization a strategy that wins long enough. Sequel to it Blue Ocean Shift (not read yet) @BlueOceanStrtgy

THREAD:

For those who want to support @Tesla but can't afford one here are a few ways you can support

1. Stock. Use the Robinhood app to buy stock in Tesla if you have the $$$

2. If you don't have $ for stock then buy a t shirt from the Tesla Store online.
3. You can also visit the Tesla store in your area

4. Stop buy Tesla superchargers in your area. Befriend local drivers. Buy them coffee (gift them a Starbucks card if you like) I don't suggest homemade stuff because me personally I would toss it. Crazy ppl out there.
5. Whenever you are talking about Tesla use the tags #Tesla $Tesla and be sure to mention them @Tesla. This will help them trend more on Twitter. The more ppl talking about Tesla = more publicity which companies pay millions for.

Ok. It’s time to go into Joshua’s memory box and tell his story #thread
Joshua was very much a rainbow baby 🌈 and we were so excited and over the moon when I finally made it into the second trimester. (Alex and I are both big rugby fans!)
I was working as a 1st year Registrar in A&E when I suddenly broke my waters at 24 weeks. I was transferred to Southampton @UHSFT who have a specialist level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They were wonderful, and did everything they could to stop my labour over Father’s Day.

Back in 2016, we as a country made a choice based on the information we had; and we made a reasonable choice.

We chose to be better off because leaving the EU would mean lower food prices.

We chose to unleash our economic strength because the EU was holding us back.

We chose to protect the polar bears

I JUST WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING | I recently started drinking again after a long time of not drinking. #Thread #Nigeria #Unhappiness
Yesterday, as I considered my glass of single malt whiskey, I remembered a friend who wrote about sleeping with random women. After I read his article, I asked why he did it, since he didn't seem like the "promiscuous" type. He said he just wanted to feel something.
"Life is hard in Nigeria", he said. "I go to work every day and am stuck in traffic for 3 hours. I don't really connect with the people around me, so there's no one to ask how my day went. Each day is the same. I needed to feel something."
