Would you be kind enough to wish some of that 20% optimism on my 401(k)?I'm an optimist .
Don't buy Tesla .Would you be kind enough to wish some of that 20% optimism on my 401(k)?
The last week or so has been pretty brutal on Tesla share holders, huh?Don't buy Tesla .
That's purpose of diversification , I guess . In the WSJ they say Tesla is delaying payments to some vendors . I have heard on the radio that there are a lot of 'for-sale-by-owner' which don't re-sell well . (It would be interesting to know if normal-brand dealers take them in on trade.) Also , I never see any public re-chargers , so they must re-charge at home . But a long trip is far from home , right ? Plus I don't buy into the unreliable tech stuff . So , all-in-all , I don't buy into their tax-subsidized shtick . And they have had some spectacular crashes in the news .The last week or so has been pretty brutal on Tesla share holders, huh?
Last I looked TSLA was the top holding of the Vanguard Extended Stock Market Index Fund, which I do own in my 401(k).
Keep in mind...they have to turn it around and make $$. So they are offering you wholesale. They clean it...prep it... They most likely would like to make $4,000 to $5,000 on it. Figure 38k plus 5K mark up....I would rather just get a brand new one (albeit fewer options).Went to local carmax to see what they value my JLUR at out of curiousity.
I have 5k miles. It's a white unlimited rubicon. I have the automatic with nearly every option except painted fenders, towing package, and the aux power package. (but I have everything else from the keyless entry/start to the upgraded touchscreen and sound system)
$38k.
I laughed and left. The cheapest JLUR on auto trader was like $46k and it had no options. My window sticker was $52k when I bought it a few months ago.
I guess I'll go private party if I sell! Thought you guys might find that intersting. Carmax is generally known for giving decent prices but not for my JL!
