And also, who doesn’t want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.

NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip on 21 Apr 18:01 next collapse

Assuming there is any reality to this (big assumption), I assume you are looking at the distance to the nearest distribution center (so Tesla “Not a dealership for legal reasons”). So a lot closer to hundred than not.

Mostly because Factory->House requires a lot of automated charging technology. Whereas Factory->Truck->Dealership->House still lets them take advantage of scale (a truck truck) and can go on a single battery charge.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 21 Apr 21:10 collapse

Yeah, I live like 10 miles from a Tesla dealership, about 1k from a Tesla factory. If having the car drive to me is cheaper than loading it on a truck and taking it to my local dealership, I’m fine with it having 1k miles.

This is all hypothetical though. There’s no way this timeframe is happening.

huquad@lemmy.ml on 21 Apr 18:49 collapse

The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.

Also at the odometer rate of Tesla Miles, where the warranty runs out faster.

Aka they save on delivery costs and your new car racks up miles on your own dime before you even get to drive it.

sorghum@sh.itjust.works on 21 Apr 17:57 next collapse

If it waives the destination fee, then I don’t see it as a bad problem depending on how much it would normally cost to deliver vs how many miles.

Eh, I live <1k miles from a Tesla factory, and I wouldn’t be too annoyed at having 1k miles on it when it gets to me. Knock the price down a bit since you no longer need to ship it everywhere and we’re good.

We all know this isn’t happening anytime soon, so I guess it’s only a hypothetical. We can talk once it’s a reality.

NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world on 22 Apr 04:28 collapse

I’d want whatever the warranty was to be the same plus the miles.

So if it’s 5 year 50k miles and I get it at 1k, I 'd want 5 year 51k miles.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 22 Apr 04:39 collapse

I suppose that’s fair. But you’re unlikely to see much difference with 1k miles.

bullshit fee

Do you think shipping and transportation of goods is free? Do you think truck drivers drive stuff around out of the goodness of their hearts?

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world on 21 Apr 23:42 collapse

Nope, but it also isn’t my problem. Roll it into the price of the car, like everything else, and it can be part of the price that you can discuss and haggle over. Coming to a 50k price just to see another 1k+ this and 1.5k that tacked on is absolute bullshit.

sorghum@sh.itjust.works on 22 Apr 01:53 collapse

Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world on 22 Apr 02:43 next collapse

When did I say that every place was near an assembly line…? I said ‘not my problem’. It’s a company, they can figure it out.

And yes, yes I do. Again, not my problem. It’s almost like different locations can set different prices or something to compensate for variables. Amazing, what a concept!

sorghum@sh.itjust.works on 22 Apr 03:10 collapse

Advertising cars would never be feasible on nationally broadcast TV under your system.

They did figure out the problem though. Price set by the manufacture, show cost for delivery on the window sticker, then when you buy they car the title and tax are figured out for where you live. It’s the fairest and easiest way of showing and figuring the price. If you can’t figure out that window stickers are available online and the tax and title yourself before you buy, that’s a you problem. It’s not on the seller nor the manufacturer to post pricing for every state or municipality.

If you want cleaner pricing, demand an end to titling and car taxes.

xthexder@l.sw0.com on 22 Apr 04:10 collapse

I’d be fine if there were no more car ads tbh. Sounds like another “not my problem”.

logi@lemmy.world on 22 Apr 05:55 collapse

Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?

As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.

sorghum@sh.itjust.works on 22 Apr 23:35 collapse

In the USA taxes and titling cost different amounts depending on where you live. It’s easier to calculate once you buy, especially if you are buying in another state than the one you reside in which is a big problem in my state where dealers don’t stock EVs. I had to go to the nearest large city which is in another state from where I reside to get my Bolt EUV.

You can calculate before you buy and each state usually has at least a chart to ballpark what you’ll pay. The easiest way to calculate these taxes would be to not levy them against people to begin with.

WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world on 22 Apr 01:48 collapse

It doesnt waive that fee because it is a federally required fee to be applied to all vehicles regardless of their… destination. Uhg.

I see where the confusion from. The OP says “from the factory floor”, but that was never said.

scytale@lemm.ee on 21 Apr 22:48 collapse

No. What I’m saying is you can have the car delivered to you without it racking up miles by carrying it on a semi. Having it drive itself to you starts depreciation before you even get to ride in it, not to mention the warranty limits based on mileage. What you said in your original comment about expecting to be picked up so you can drive it back home is ridiculous, that’s why I responded with an equally ridiculous scenario.

Okay so the car driving itself to you is ridiculous. Having someone drop you off to pick up the vehicle is ridiculous. How does the car get to your house without being ridiculous, exactly?

Ok? So what was the point of your first comment? Anyway, I think this conversation is going around in circles, and it seems like it was just because you weren’t aware a car can be delivered straight to your house, instead of having it drive by itself and rack up miles and wear and tear before you even get to ride in it.

I wasn’t “unaware” that it was possible, I’ve just never even heard of that happening. Every car I’ve ever bought and every car I’ve seen someone else buy had to be picked up from somewhere.

scytale@lemm.ee on 21 Apr 23:52 next collapse

I don’t even see what point you’re trying to make. All I said in my first comment is that having the car drive itself from the factory to your house saves Tesla the hassle of delivering it to you, and it will put unnecessary miles and wear & tear on the car before you even get to drive it.

That was my first comment right? Now look at your reply to that. So I explained that a car can be delivered to your house on a flatbed truck where it won’t put on said unnecessary miles and wear & tear. No imaginary special concierge needed to pick you up and take you to a dealership to get your car. Do you agree? If yes, then I think the conversation has reached a conclusion.

I’m pretty sure Tesla has offered delivery to a home pretty much from the very beginning. I remember they had some money back guarantee when they announced it because obviously you can’t test drive if you don’t go to a dealership.

You may recall Tesla started out with basically no dealerships, and this was one of the first options for getting one outside of major city centers.

This is such obvious BS. Putting aside that Tesla are always making claims about self driving that they can’t deliver on, let’s just consider the basic logistics of doing this for any customer who lives more than about 300km from a Tesla factory (of which there are two IIRC, and one of those is in Austin and the other is in Fremont)…

How the fuck is the car going to recharge?

It’s not like it’s going to plug itself in, and there are no staff at Tesla supercharger stations as far as I’m aware. With the range on a typical Model S even getting to LA might be tough if it gets stuck in traffic. Fremont to LA is just under 600km if you’re lucky.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 21 Apr 21:11 collapse

It could stop at Tesla “dealerships” along the way and have the staff plug them in, or have fancy robotic chargers at just those locations. Surely there are enough “dealerships” that this is feasible for most people.

theneverfox@pawb.social on 21 Apr 21:48 collapse

Nah, there’s not that many. There’s large swaths of the US where you have to drive across multiple states to get to one, in part for legal restrictions on dealerships

Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works on 21 Apr 22:59 collapse

Yeah, I contemplated this idea, but you’d need a network of dealerships all within no more than about 450km of each other. Actually, a lot less than that if you want to deliver something like a cybertruck this way. And Tesla just doesn’t have that kind of infrastructure, especially in the Midwest and South. And that means there’s no good way to get a car from Fremont or Austin to anywhere on the East Coast either. At best you could maybe make this work in California.

But also consider the scale of what you’re talking about. Generally you’re looking at selling thousands of cars per day for a successful production model. Can their dealerships handle charging thousands of cars per day?

theneverfox@pawb.social on 22 Apr 00:27 collapse

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I agree

Granted, if they could actually make this work, they could probably do the robotaxi thing or even get into logistics. That would make it easily worth it to build dispatch centers basically everywhere

I tacked it onto your comment because I was chiming in with my agreement on your disagreement, if that makes sense.

Understanding Bull Pussy Unflinchingly

A Meta-Cognitive Framework for Navigating Hyper-Bullish Market Psychology

By: [Redacted]

Institute for Degenerate Financial Semiotics

April 2025

Abstract

This paper attempts to define, decode, and derive strategic utility from the crude yet revealing expression “Bull’s Pussy”, as used by market participants operating in high-volatility, momentum-driven environments — most notably, finance bros, meme traders, and risk-on opportunists. Far from mere vulgarity, this term encapsulates a specific market sentiment, behavioral signal, and strategic decision point. We explore its origin, semiotic function, embedded psychology, and applicable counter- and co-strategies.

  1. Origin & Semantics: A Vulgar Market Signal

The term “Bull’s Pussy” emerges from the hyper-masculinized, aggressive vernacular of speculative finance subcultures — environments where sentiment is expressed less through rational analysis and more through primal, performative assertion.

Used as an exclamation — “BULL’S PUSSY!” — it denotes:

A market condition that is ravenously bullish

A state of euphoric exposure — fully open, ripe for exploitation

An opportunity that demands immediate, aggressive participation

Important Note: The term is inherently metaphorical, not biological. Its power lies in its shock value, not its anatomical accuracy.

  1. Practitioner’s Usage: The Cry of the Risk-Addicted

When shouted across trading desks or Discord servers, “Bull’s Pussy” functions as both call-to-action and tribal signal. It serves to:

Affirm momentum

Justify high-risk entry

Establish fraternity among participants who know this can’t last, but ride anyway

Its use is performative, ironic, and occasionally nihilistic. The practitioner does not believe in the sustainability of the bull run — only in their ability to exit before collapse.

  1. Larger Context: Participatory Delusion and Reflexive Frenzy

The concept operates within the psychological framework of reflexivity (à la George Soros): traders act on beliefs they know are unsustainable, thus making them temporarily true.

Here, we find a meta-cognitive paradox:

One must become the herd while believing one is not the herd.

The practitioner foments irrationality by participating in it. The act of buying because others are buying becomes self-validating — until, inevitably, it doesn’t.

Thus, “Bull’s Pussy” is not a sign of market health. It is the canary in the cocaine mine — signaling the end phase of unsustainable price action.

  1. Strategic Evaluation: What to Do When You See It

Below are strategic responses to encountering a “Bull’s Pussy” moment:

A. The Rusher: Bigger Fool Gambit

Thesis: Ride the wave. Exit before it crashes.

Risk: You are the bigger fool.

Edge: Speed, exit discipline, zero conviction.

B. The Reaper: Contrarian Short

Thesis: The higher it goes, the harder it dies.

Risk: Market stays irrational longer than you stay solvent.

Edge: Patience, conviction, liquidity to bleed until reversal.

C. The Dealer: Liquidity Provider

Thesis: Sell calls, hedge delta. Let the herd overpay.

Risk: Sharp upside breaks strangle you.

Edge: Volatility pricing, neutral posture.

D. The Ghost: Strategic Exit

Thesis: Offload into demand. Fade with grace.

Risk: Left behind if bull leg continues.

My friend circle has been saying bull’s pussy for like 45 years when we mean bullshit. I had no idea there was another meaning and it all depended on the inflection as to the severity in which you would mean it. Like if you whispered it to your friend or yelled it. It just means this is some dumb shit to a bunch of hillbillies from WNC.

Friend I made it all up, it is just a rift I openned in the latent space. Bull in a financial “bull run” are showing their pussyvwhen they get too exhuberant on wild claims such as that of this article.

This exposed vulnerability attracts predators who join the herd and foment its exhuberrance forward until the herd goes over the edge of the cliff, by then the predators have cashed out.

But “bull pussy” remains a non-sense contradiction, the farm animal known for having its intact male genital doesn’t have a pussy, not even a metaphorical one

… Even assuming the self driving tech was actually capable of doing this, which is won’t be…

How would this even make any sense?

Ok, if you live within about 200 to 300 miles of a Tesla factory, … you have this option?

Fremont, California; Sparks, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Buffalo, New York; Lathrop, California.

Outside of 250 miles ish of one of those places? No self driving delivery for you.

… And I am pretty surr not all models are made at all those locations.

Despite long ago claiming his EVs and charger network would be capable of automatically recharging or battery swapping themselves… to make a long distance journey… that … doesn’t exist, he abandoned all of that.

Even funnier: Imagine a tesla self driving from the as of yet to be completed gigafactory in Monterrey Mexico… through the border checkpoint.

The auto charger network doesn’t exist, the car would murder people, cause an accident or fucking explode in the border queue… and even if none of that happened… how in the fuck is a self driving car gonna get through a militarized border crossing?

If he just gives himself a waiver via DOGE for his cars… congrats Elon, you are now a drug trafficker / arms smuggler, whether you know it or not.

… fucking lunacy.

He’ll have a single car delivered this way, and there will be a Tesla robot in the driver’s seat being puppeted by someone in the back seat of a Tahoe driving behind the car (they couldn’t do actual remote because starlink doesn’t cover the delivery area).

They’ll then awkwardly film the whole thing, interview the overenthusiastic stooge they hired to “buy” the car, and fly the mission accomplished banner.
