Tesla

A sub $30 magnetic tow hitch cover. Used to be a pain to have to carefully remove the tow hitch cover every single time. Wound up scraping the plastic trim, despite my best efforts.

The magnetic tow hitch cover takes two seconds to remove/install. No need for the flathead screwdriver. Total game changer, especially if you’re using your tow hitch frequently.

Mine perfectly fits the model Y, and practically looks OEM

In terms of price to quality of life improvement ratio, this is the best accessory I’ve ever bought for the car.

Not gonna shill a particular brand, I’m sure there are many out there that accomplish the same thing.

**I am not promoting Tesla in any way. Reddit wouldn't give me any other flair options besides NSFW. Sorry.

Thanks to anyone who replies. I saw that Musk is apparently under fire for offloading $7.5B of stock (I think in 2022) during a time when he knew that the company wouldn't meet its targets. He also assured investors that it would be a great end to the year, despite knowing the opposite and selling stock.

I'm somewhat ignorant of the legal specifics, and I'm more curious about that than the actual Musk situation. I know insider trading is illegal, but if you're a CEO or other exec and you know your stock is about to take a hit, are you legally required to maintain your position and take the same proportional losses as any other investor?

Also, to avoid getting caught, why don't CEOs allow themselves to take very minor losses and then sell? I'm not advocating that, I'm just genuinely curious. It seems like a sketchy choice to sell so much stock without incurring losses when losses are incurred by others so shortly after. If a CEO rides a loss for just a little bit and then sells before everyone else (who lacks the CEO's insider knowledge) is that still insider trading?

Edit: On a scale of 1 (Rather Questionable) to 10 (Boldfaced Securities Fraud), how would you rank this situation? People seem to have mixed opinions.

I have 200k medical school loans, make around 400-420k/yearly pre-tax, married, with 1 kid and another on the way in 1 month. Renting, do not have EV charging at home. Rent is 4200$ a month, leasing wife care for 450$ a month.

I currently drive 2013 VW with over 122K miles and was looking into a different commuter care with great mileage.

I was between the new prius model 2023 or 2024 given great mileage vs tesla

I am leaning away from the tesla since I heard the insurance can be very pricey, I don't have an EV charging station at home, and they are more expensive than prius.

Would appreciate any advice; prius 2023/24 or tesla ?

Elon Musk's decision to divert Nvidia AI chips originally intended for Tesla to his other companies X and xAI raises serious concerns about conflicts of interest and potential breaches of fiduciary duty:

1. As CEO and a major shareholder of Tesla, Musk has a fiduciary duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of Tesla and its shareholders. Diverting valuable resources like the Nvidia H100 GPUs away from Tesla to benefit his privately-owned companies appears to prioritize his personal interests over his obligations to Tesla.

2. The diverted chips are worth over $500 million and the delay in Tesla receiving them could negatively impact Tesla's plans to develop its AI and self-driving capabilities. As a public company, Tesla's shareholders could argue they are being deprived of the value and utility of these GPUs for the benefit of Musk's private companies.

3. Musk's justification that Tesla lacked space for the chips and they would have "sat in a warehouse" does not negate the conflict of interest. If the chips weren't immediately needed, he could have sold them to improve Tesla's cash position or charged a significant sum for the diversion to X/xAI.

4. This is not the first time Musk has been accused of misappropriating Tesla's resources, such as when he diverted Tesla engineers to work at Twitter without compensation. A pattern of such behavior strengthens the case that Musk is not upholding his duty of loyalty.

5. Shareholders could potentially bring a derivative lawsuit against Musk for breach of fiduciary duty. They could seek his removal as CEO, monetary damages, or increased board oversight to prevent future self-dealing.

In summary, while the full context behind Musk's decision is unclear, the optics suggest he improperly prioritized the interests of his private companies over those of Tesla stakeholders to whom he owes a legal duty. The diversion of the valuable Nvidia GPUs without compensation and the delay this imposes on Tesla's AI plans provides strong grounds for shareholder concern and potential legal action around conflicts of interest and breach of loyalty by Musk. Stronger governance controls may be needed to check his ability to unilaterally redirect Tesla's assets to his other ventures.
