I already own shares of TSLA, NVDA and APPL as well. Sure, I don't mind having these equities sit around for a while, but I'd also like to appreciate short-term opportunities that could fetch $200,000 or less
Agreed, this is why i now work with one. I’ve been investing by myself in the market for 11 years now, but the last 6 years is with the help of a financial planner. Throughout the 6 years of guidance alone, I've been fortunate enough to 10x my return as a DIY investor, summing up nearly $1.4m roi as of today.
She's known as a 'Angela Lynn Schilling'. One of the finest portfolio managers in the field also widely recognized. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.
John - re emergency exit. The rear doors do have it. Go into the door pocket, remove the rubber tray from the bottom of the door pocket and it’s there. I don’t know why it’s hidden (perhaps to avoid Children playing with it?), but that’s where it is.
9:23 - since there is such an item in the menu, I believe honking will only save footage if it’s turned on in the menu. (I thought it was the “last 10 minutes”)
The hammers to break car windows will not work on acoustic glass panes in later model Teslad (model 3 refreshed for instance) that have safety glass (acoustic glass)
I don’t know if this applies to all models, but with my 2024 Model 3, pulling the emergency door exit lever while the car has power will lower the window, just like the normal door exit. It’s only when there is no power that the window will not lower, and caution is advised.
Good call on deciding to order the CT. I also recently received my email, but not able to afford it right now. I have a 2022 Model Y with 20k miles and just under two years old. I can’t afford to take the loss on it right now. I will re evaluate the CT decision next year. I definitely want the truck, and I would if I could.
Ours just came up today. It’s our second opportunity for a foundation - they are ending sometime soon - we have to wait. 2-motor if we can swing it, and then cyberlandr too … Pleasant dreams 🥴
They should have multiple low power modes to quickly toggle all of the affected settings. Also it should tell you how long the car can go without a charge in each mode. Maybe it could also auto decay to lower power modes as its battery drains down.
I'm certain you've already gotten your answer. However, any good accountant should be able to direct you as to how to purchase your vehicle through an LLC or any Corporation
I think it goes into neutral if you gently pull at the same direction it's already in. Or you can just wash the car yourself, it's no big deal, and better for the paint too. Good exercise too.
I have been sitting on my Foundation Series invite for months now waiting for a cheaper version. If Tesla allows FSD Transfer to the Cybertruck I will trade in my Plaid and buy the CT
~ 5:15 There is (was?) a great set of introductory educational videos at the Hertz website for people wanting to rent and drive Teslas. Very unfortunate about Hertz dumping its EV fleet. (Did it ever even actually take possession of 100,000 Teslas? - I heard only about 20-30,000 used ones were flooding the market. Maybe they will become robotaxis or really good entry level EVs for used car buyers. And the rent-a-car business will likely decline in major venues.)
Thank you for the information. I agree that Tesla needs to do a rolling video storage. I think that should be obvious, which makes me wonder why they are not already doing it.
Time to get a local accountant. You have another business and you can write off the CT cost along with all sorts of expenses. It’s a no-brainer. Even for an absent minded professor.
I hate so mention this but as someone who was in the retail auto business for 3 decades I can tell you that a low percentage of car salesman spend much time showing a person how to use the buttons and bells on the vehicles. They should but unless asked most don't bother. Many people who trade their old cars in never knew how to work things they had all that time.
I feel Cabin overheat protection is just a waste of energy. I just pre-cool before getting in. My Model 3 is 5 years old and has had plenty of 100+ degree days baking in the New Mexico sun.
@@tedmoss The guys above are saying to use a regular 110v outlet. Connect your own charging adapter and cable. That can be removed by anyone walking by.
Talk to your tax advisor, If you are going to use it for personal use you probably can't deduct it for the business, but you might be able to write off the mileage when using it for business purposes. I would remind people that are late getting in on the Founders series, it might be YEARS before getting to your reservation number. I am around 138,000, ordered late next day & 1/2 and i am not expecting to get called up until late 2025 to early 2026. The cyber truck might be over on GVWR to qualify for the $7500.
Has anybody asked this question doctor? Could a solar generator charge a cyber truck while driving? Looking forward to Bill Gates losing everything from shorting Tesla. Dig your channel. I stay well-informed thnx.
Not without some kind of hacking of the software. Tesla's currently tell you to unplug before they will shift into drive. Also you would probably need to modify the charging hardware unless you plan on driving down the road with a connector sticking out of the side of the truck. Both of these would definitely affect your warranty, and the software hack would most likely be illegal. Either of them would, if noticed by Tesla, also carry the risk of the vehicle being blocked from the supercharger network. And finally even if you covered the bed of the truck with solar cells they would not generate very much energy, certainly not the amount used during a drive. However Aptera is bringing a vehicle to market that is designed with built in solar.
@@shannonlawhorn1674 thank you for your reply, I was just thinking in Lines of throwing my eco flow pro into the bed & just plugging it in if I were in a hurry. It is nice to know, if I needed information to do a better job than MacGyver, you would have the right prescription. 👍
Don’t understand why people don’t just call it a standard door latch That you open with your fingers rather than using the term mechanical lever which sounds somewhat special and unfamiliar. People need to know that it’s just a standard door latch. And yes, its preferred that you don’t use it all the time. That’s it.
It's pronounce leh-vr like the word never not Lee ver. I don't know what side of town your from lol. Elon needs to mark that manual door lever red or something cause people are stupid.
Just a couple of corrections/comments. 1. There is a manual door release in the back seats. There hidden under the rubber mat at the bottom of the door pocket. You'll see a red button. Pull it out, and there should be a cable to pull that will release the door. 2. When you save a dashcam, it saves the last 10 minutes. There was something else, but I'm not remembering right now
4:08 Back seat manual door opening: Crawl over to the front? OK, OR in a Model Y, at least, you can use the release cable that is under each of the back door-well bottom cover. Not being one who would find crawling over into the front easy, I'd choose the cable.
I was a banker 25 years ago, but doubt that basics have changed. A loan to an LLC requires a copy of the Articles of Incorporation, a copy of the minutes from a meeting of the board of directors (dated) with a recordation of the vote to designate an individual to conduct lending or financial transactions in the name of the corporation. Their organization designation (ie President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer etc) should be noted. Last 3 years of financial statements. If none, or if income is insufficient to support loan, your personal guarantee of LLC debt may be required. An advantage of the LLC is that depreciation and operating expenses for the vehicle can reduce LLC income for tax purposes. Once the vehicle is sold, the sale amount is reported as a part of current year income for the LLC. A fee to a business accountant that prepares financial statements for the LLC is advised to fully understand current tax consequences and how these might flow to the owners of the LLC. Peace
14:13 I never had a problem with the brand names "autopilot" or "full self driving". I mean, we have been calling them "automobiles" for a long time...
I got trapped in a gas car! I could not find the door open button! Windows kept going up and down and the side mirrors were freaking out! I almost died! Turns out they expect you to pull a mechanical handle like a caveman!? Never drive ICE. They are dangerous. The headlights would not even come on when it got dark outside. Then I ran out of fuel because it had fuel when I started, just a quick 80 mile drive, but it did not tell me how many miles I could go before it was empty! I just had a stupid light on the old speed dial behind the wheel. Also, that speed dial was very inaccurate! The cop said I was speeding but the thing only had 60 and then 80! How was I to know how fast it was going? Oh... when you walk away, they do not lock. How is that safe? Anyone can steal it!
On ver. 12.3.6 FSD, (2024.14.9 xxxx...) it is not correct to say the emergency door opener does not lower the window when you exit the car, it definitely does on my 2024 model Y LR. Therefore you can use it without damaging the trim rubber. You, good Dr. get the misinformation crown for your two errors.
Congrats on getting the Cybertruck reservation invite! I got mine in March and ordered it March 19th-$1000 deposit. Today I just got my VIN, and delivery about July 4th! They said end of the year for the CyberBeast, so it’s a surprise! So, now it’ll likely be quicker for you.
Just as a side observation, I have embraced becoming more cyborg. Replaced my organic lenses for plastic lenses. Good for distance and closeup, like reading. Previously used contact lenses. Awesome technology.
Currently Sentry mode uses 6.6% a day. Cabin Overheat stops working after 24 hours. Grok gave me a great answer and things to consider on how to buy the Cybertruck under your LLC.
Like you I was planning CT to be our road trip and towing vehicle at 500 mi range. At 340 we would take our 400 mi range model S. I am going to wait for more range, improved turning radius, lower price, and maybe by that time HW5.
9:53 I've seen at least one video on Wham Bam Tesla Cam where the horn honk supposedly caused a portion of the action to be missed, because some activity happened after the honk. I leave that option turned off. I set saving to Automatic and you can always just touch the little recording icon (It looks like a camera with a red dot above it and slightly on one side), when you touch the icon you'll get a message that the recording is being saved, lately, it also turns off the dot while the recording is being saved. I recommend waiting a minute before pressing the icon, but no longer, as it may fail to record what happens immediately before and after the icon is pressed (at least, that happened to me once... had a 10-20 second hole in the recording, right where I was wanting the record. sigh....) You might try experimenting with it a little when not engaged in excitement, just to get comfortable with the function.
As far as long term storage. If you don't turn off sentry mode, when the battery gets down to 20%, it will turn it off to protect the battery from getting to low
8:29 USB stick for videos: I use a 2TB SSD most of the time, though I keep the original in the glove box to take over the job when I've taken the SSD out of the car to pull off video. Some people say that the best option is to use an Endurance rated MicroSD card in a USB adapter. I think you can get those up to 512 GB.
Hey guys, I’m in Athens and got my Foundation series email on 4 June, decided to wait on mine. I’ll be hitting you up for a ride if I see you around town. 👍
18:18 - sentry mode only eats a lot of battery power if you have cameras turned on for sentry. I turned off cameras, because it kept recording EVERY time anyone walked, or drove by the car - it makes a giant difference!
Buying a Cybertruck through an LLC is easier when paying cash but can also be done through financing. I called the Tesla number provided in the Cybertruck registration portion of the Tesla app, and they guided me through the entire process.
You’ve already decided to buy a CT, because you just love to boast that you have something that others don’t have. So just do it. You will feel great. We could not really care less, except for your contribution to $TSLA revenue. Now stop asking ridiculous questions.
Just got my invite. After pondering, as I had many of your same concerns, I decided to go all in, and ordered the foundation series cyberbeast. Now understand, flashy is not normally my thing. I am replacing my very beat up 2000 Tundra. And from a financial point of view, $132K would be way better spent on Tesla stock, particularly given the current price. But, thinking how fun and cool it would be to have a cyberbeast, I just went for it.
Car wash, just put it in"roll" instead of "hold". Why don't people know that? Just switch to "roll" in stopping mode under Dynamics. Then you leave the car in drive, but it acts just like a ice car in neutral.
FYI, if you buy the CT through an LLC, its not supposed to be your personal vehicle. You're supposed to use it for you LLC business. And its new territory to say your business is TH-cam...just take footage every time you drive it...😅
Our order came up, and we have not ordered. I think we will wait for the option of the $80K version. The back seat does have emergency release, but it is at the bottom of the compartment on the storage bin on the door, under a 'access panel' that can be fairly easily opened. Not easy for a small person (kids, small adults should be OK). Non FSD autopilot nags anyway both before and after the FSD Supervised came out.
Actually Cabin Overheat protection at least in the Intel Models stop working after 12 hours. So the climate control wouldn’t use that much power over several days.
We've been having similar discussions... To Cybertruck or not to Cybertruck, that is the question. We could use it to drive to less visited National Parks, cart around bonsais and music equipment, use for home improvement, carry kayaks and bikes, sleep in the truck. Downside, there's two of us and that's three vehicles because we have a Y and a 3. Jeannine
IMHO you've got the wrong idea about commuting with the Cybercab. Keep both Teslas, have one drive you to work and then send it off to make you money as a robotaxi…
Ha ha ha! Gotta laugh at your blizzard avoidance! You are obviously from somewhere warm when you can say "you are obviously not going to drive in a blizzard!" Here, that would be occasional winter driving in the mountains! If the car door is closed, what does it matter if there are 70 mph winds and snow blasting?
LLC purchase of the vehicle is something that my friends can walk you through. Moderate process. Definitely do it. Message if no one else volunteers to help.
The only way I can justify buying a 2 motor CT is that I hope it to be the last vehicle I will ever need to own. When I'm too old to drive myself, it will drive me where I need to go. It will be a good road tripping vehicle, it will carry all my boat stuff, tow anything I am likely to need to tow. It's made of stainless and I shouldn't need to replace it due to rust. I'm closer to 50 than 40 now and it should last for the miles I will drive in the rest of my life. I can't justify the cost otherwise.
I hope Tesla has made FSD and the light bar available by the time you get your truck. I’ve heard lots of complaints from early adopters who has paid extra for those features and still have not received them.
8:40 You mean that the USB filled up with security cam and saved dash cam vids and it still claimed to be recording? (little red dot on?) Or did it stop recording and you didn't notice the dot being missing? Easy to miss. You are right that Tesla should probably at least alert us if it finds the storage device full, but I do wonder about whether it left that red dot on.
My husband and I have a CT on order and our number did come up. We go back and forth about getting it or not getting it also. It would be a much easier decision if the stock price would go up and we really want the 80k awd one so we will probably decline 😕
CT definitely looks nicer wrapped. the stainless steel look just doesn't do it for me. I've seen several non wrapped. I saw one wrapped and was like yeeah...way better wrapped
John, can you or one of the members of the community do a little show on buying a used Tesla? I’m not a wealthy man but I’d like to buy a used model three or even a model Y it’d be really helpful to have a TH-cam on that the Highlander 😊
One of the huge benefits of a stainless shell is that any scars from experience tell a story without detrimental results like your skin. Why complicate with a wrap?
Why the cars don’t have an option to just start car wash mode when in neutral is beyond me… I lost a wiper on my X last week from the auto wipers and my forgetfulness.
I already own shares of TSLA, NVDA and APPL as well. Sure, I don't mind having these equities sit around for a while, but I'd also like to appreciate short-term opportunities that could fetch $200,000 or less

On the screen where you have car wash mode, there is a button for Free Roll which puts you in Neutral.

They should have multiple low power modes to quickly toggle all of the affected settings. Also it should tell you how long the car can go without a charge in each mode. Maybe it could also auto decay to lower power modes as its battery drains down.

The on switch for a Tesla is the brake pedal the off switch is putting it in park and exiting the vehicle then it will shut off on its own.
You should point out where the rear doors emergency operation is.

Some people say that the best option is to use an Endurance rated MicroSD card in a USB adapter. I think you can get those up to 512 GB.
Good video as usual!!! 🇨🇦
Hey guys, I’m in Athens and got my Foundation series email on 4 June, decided to wait on mine. I’ll be hitting you up for a ride if I see you around town. 👍
18:18 - sentry mode only eats a lot of battery power if you have cameras turned on for sentry. I turned off cameras, because it kept recording EVERY time anyone walked, or drove by the car - it makes a giant difference!
Cybertruck purchase -
YEA ! !

Buying a Cybertruck through an LLC is easier when paying cash but can also be done through financing. I called the Tesla number provided in the Cybertruck registration portion of the Tesla app, and they guided me through the entire process.
A wrap is nice but remember, if you run it through the car wash, all the fingerprints disappear!
You’ve already decided to buy a CT, because you just love to boast that you have something that others don’t have. So just do it. You will feel great. We could not really care less, except for your contribution to $TSLA revenue. Now stop asking ridiculous questions.
Just got my invite. After pondering, as I had many of your same concerns, I decided to go all in, and ordered the foundation series cyberbeast. Now understand, flashy is not normally my thing. I am replacing my very beat up 2000 Tundra. And from a financial point of view, $132K would be way better spent on Tesla stock, particularly given the current price. But, thinking how fun and cool it would be to have a cyberbeast, I just went for it.
Car wash, just put it in"roll" instead of "hold". Why don't people know that? Just switch to "roll" in stopping mode under Dynamics. Then you leave the car in drive, but it acts just like a ice car in neutral.
FYI, if you buy the CT through an LLC, its not supposed to be your personal vehicle. You're supposed to use it for you LLC business. And its new territory to say your business is TH-cam...just take footage every time you drive it...😅
Our order came up, and we have not ordered. I think we will wait for the option of the $80K version.
The back seat does have emergency release, but it is at the bottom of the compartment on the storage bin on the door, under a 'access panel' that can be fairly easily opened. Not easy for a small person (kids, small adults should be OK).
Non FSD autopilot nags anyway both before and after the FSD Supervised came out.
Actually Cabin Overheat protection at least in the Intel Models stop working after 12 hours. So the climate control wouldn’t use that much power over several days.
We've been having similar discussions... To Cybertruck or not to Cybertruck, that is the question. We could use it to drive to less visited National Parks, cart around bonsais and music equipment, use for home improvement, carry kayaks and bikes, sleep in the truck. Downside, there's two of us and that's three vehicles because we have a Y and a 3. Jeannine
IMHO you've got the wrong idea about commuting with the Cybercab. Keep both Teslas, have one drive you to work and then send it off to make you money as a robotaxi…
Ha ha ha! Gotta laugh at your blizzard avoidance! You are obviously from somewhere warm when you can say "you are obviously not going to drive in a blizzard!" Here, that would be occasional winter driving in the mountains! If the car door is closed, what does it matter if there are 70 mph winds and snow blasting?
LLC purchase of the vehicle is something that my friends can walk you through. Moderate process. Definitely do it. Message if no one else volunteers to help.
airports need something like Tesla combo charger especially if it could be done 110v optons. This is basically destination charging at all airports!
The only way I can justify buying a 2 motor CT is that I hope it to be the last vehicle I will ever need to own. When I'm too old to drive myself, it will drive me where I need to go. It will be a good road tripping vehicle, it will carry all my boat stuff, tow anything I am likely to need to tow. It's made of stainless and I shouldn't need to replace it due to rust. I'm closer to 50 than 40 now and it should last for the miles I will drive in the rest of my life. I can't justify the cost otherwise.
I hope Tesla has made FSD and the light bar available by the time you get your truck. I’ve heard lots of complaints from early adopters who has paid extra for those features and still have not received them.
8:40 You mean that the USB filled up with security cam and saved dash cam vids and it still claimed to be recording? (little red dot on?) Or did it stop recording and you didn't notice the dot being missing? Easy to miss. You are right that Tesla should probably at least alert us if it finds the storage device full, but I do wonder about whether it left that red dot on.
My husband and I have a CT on order and our number did come up. We go back and forth about getting it or not getting it also. It would be a much easier decision if the stock price would go up and we really want the 80k awd one so we will probably decline 😕
CT definitely looks nicer wrapped. the stainless steel look just doesn't do it for me. I've seen several non wrapped. I saw one wrapped and was like yeeah...way better wrapped
But the price you pay for the car has to be pretty low. I don’t think Teslas would sell cheap enough to qualify for that used vehicle credit.
John, can you or one of the members of the community do a little show on buying a used Tesla? I’m not a wealthy man but I’d like to buy a used model three or even a model Y it’d be really helpful to have a TH-cam on that the Highlander 😊
PUT FOUNDATION CYBERTRK ON HOLD UNTIL THIRD QUARTER. THEN TRADE FOR 79K STANDARD CYBERTRK VERSION, USE MY TESLA STOCK TO BUY IT.
One of the huge benefits of a stainless shell is that any scars from experience tell a story without detrimental results like your skin. Why complicate with a wrap?
Why the cars don’t have an option to just start car wash mode when in neutral is beyond me… I lost a wiper on my X last week from the auto wipers and my forgetfulness.
Im glad you are not going to fuss like other folks and complain about the price drop.
Excellent stuff to hear. Thank you.
You should read your car manual... it comes with one
great video, do more give and take with your wife. It great to hear a woman's point of view
All it takes is add a woman and suddenly we are a intensely listening to every word John says 😂
You said a few times "i just press the button". What button?
I’m pretty sure it uses screen interaction as a nag signal, not just trying to track your eyes.
we plan on getting a cybertruck in about 1 year
Use the seat belt steel buckle end to break the glass.
