The swamp thickens. Won't surprise me if Walter White Sr is the new DEA Chief.

Funny how a news article about the Bolt losing $9,000 gets treated like the gospel but the same news site has claimed that the Model 3 will not make any money, that Tesla loses between $4000 and $19000 per Model S sale,. The same author has not too long ago that Tesla spends $30,000 per battery...

If it is any consolation, the Model X is closer to a minivan than anything else. Unibody chassis, unconventional doors, powered doors, 3 row seating, available captain seats in the second row, and a glass roof. No GMC is going to come with automatic doors. Didn't Elon Musk himself say the Model...

GM, FCA and Ford sell millions of passenger cars every year at a loss just for CAFE purposes. ATM any Domestic non-premium car under the size of an Impala is sold at a loss. They not only have to make them available but also sell a significant number of them(CAFE, CARB and other requirements are...

China threatening to make life hard for American companies doing business in China could explain the drop.. China threatens to cut sales of iPhones and US cars if 'naive' Trump pursues trade war "When the time comes, large orders for Boeing planes would switch to Europe, U.S. auto sales in...

Someone buying solar panels cannot drive them to work. They would still need a car, but someone buying a Crossover/SUV/truck would not need a compact car. Given a choice, every automaker except Tesla would choose 'low gas prices-high truck/SUV sales-Low EV/Small car sales' to 'high gas...

No two famous people are as similar as Donald trump and Elon Musk. The similarities between the two is incredible, though their beliefs are the polar opposite. Also, one wants to fix the county and the other wants to fix the World. Trump supporters - he is honest, man who invented integrity...

Tesla is a 50 Acre corn field in the middle of Iowa. Group 1 - Global warming and rising seas will make the middle of Iowa the new west cost. This 50 acre farm will be the new Bay Area. Buy a few plots for cheap now before it is worth $60 trillion. Group 2 - Global warming and rising sea...

Not the same class. Chevy has the Camaro to compete with the Mustang. The Bolt's objective was not to beat the Mustang at a drag strip or a race track. If you don't get it, then you don't get, but please don't call people stupid for buying what they want with their own money. You can call me any...

Well said. You must also be wondering who are all the "stupid" people buying 4 door sedans for $20K to go from point A to point B, when they could be buying a top of the line P100 for $150K. Its only $130K more to accomplish the same task, but seriously, if they don't have $130K more to spend...

I think it is funny that TSLA shorts and longs finally agree on the same thing. Both groups think that the merger is a great idea. Shorts - SolarCity is a disaster in the making. Billions in debt and broken financial model. Will die soon and drag Tesla down with it. Longs - SolarCity is...

Anyone dumb enough to short a stock like TSLA or SCTY deserves to be taken to the cleaners. You don't look at fundamentals and short a stock, that doesn't trade on fundamentals to begin with. A single tweet and they lose 20% or more. Elon Musk could write a blog post that he will build a...

Brantse and Krugerrand, My comment wasn't directed at either of you or AustinEv who I have come to respect the many times a week I visit this forum. It was directed at those who treat other cars or the people who aspire to own them as worthless. A new Ford may not be up to your standards but...

Yes, the Taurus is clearly a superior car for most people who don't need a car to compensate their shortcomings or make them feel important. Takes them from point A to Point B, saves between $40K and $100K that they can spend towards more important things in life than impressing strangers...

Very true and they are trying to learn from the mistake. They are focusing on margins, not volume. They are cutting low margin fleet sales by the hundreds of thousands. Mary Barra is considered among the best auto executives of our time. No small feat getting profit up from $4.7B in 2010 to $10B...
