Who knew? Some of our national parks require you to buy a permit to drive through at a certain time. Just to drive through I needed a permit and I had to pay $2 for it. I'm already a senior lifetime member so I don't have to pay to get in but I have to pay to drive through! I had to go on the website to try to figure out how to get the permit. My sister and brother-in-law and their friends didn't realize they needed that permit either. What a PITA new way to get more money "due to COVID-19".

Hi Grumpy, so sorry to hear that. If you need a temporary loan until your Tesla dividend comes in, maybe I could help.

I don't get a dividend. My normal income is based on building rents. They aren't paying rent. Zero zilch in May dividends. I haven't seen my mail yet for June's dividend.





^7-2-2020. That is insane, though!

I agree, that is insane and to think they have serious quality control issues. But it is all about marketing and Tesla has locked in the a brand name just like Kleenex did. FWIW, I just bought some stock yesterday that includes Tesla in the portfolio. Better late than never.

That's a bunch of b.s. if you have a lifetime permit you should be able to drive through. Dave Tesla doesn't pay a dividend.

I think the timed passes are to control the number of people in the park. Not sure they should be charging but that's the way things are. I got my lifetime pass for $10.00 before the fee increase

What are they waiting for? Oh, maybe some profit! Smoke & mirrors. By all accounts they started out with some awesome ideas but putting them into full fledge mass production has not been easy. Glad I'm not on a waiting list. As for a dividend, I was just teasing a friend.
