    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    If so, why is Tesla silent on this? The CEO has no problem diving headfirst in the political arenq when it's about pronouns, immigre and taxes - no issue whatsoever to pick on and troll opponent - but crickets when bad regulations hinder the transition to renewable energy 🤔

    You're saying "there's no hurry for them to transition over a short period of time. Their sales are increasing, while Tesla's are decreasing". But who cares about a tiny increase of dinosaurs' EV sales when it's still insignificant – to their overall sales as to the global auto sales? EV sales...

    Yawn World premiere at CES: Volkswagen integrates ChatGPT into its vehicles. I just don't see how Grok can get much better/cheaper than other LLMs chabots. OpenAI can easily undercut Grok on price, as they can have many more customers, in auto but all other industries (so more data, and more...

    I haven't tracked the average TTM (time to market) for Tesla products over the years, but it sure does seem to increase considerably, for everything (except OTA). I can't wait to know how fast Tesla will be with the robotaxi.

    Are these cells not good enough for Tesla stationary storage? It makes zero sense to end up in a battery glut when climate change speeds up, Tesla vehicles sales drop YoY and energy storage deployment grows only by 30% QoQ. I though it would be10x easier to assemble, manufacture and ship...

    We heard Tesla operated about ~100 units (incl. with their Pepsi partner). How many more could they need to properly test the semi in real-word conditions? If they can speed up construction for the semi plant, why wouldn't they not accelerate today so they can produce it in volume before 2025...

    Can Tesla afford to slow down production of the semi? How? The semi was unveiled 7 years ago. Battery cells should be plenty with the slow down in EV sales. I thought the semi would get FSD fast as drivers' pay represent about 44% of the average marginal cost for carriers. Also, having semi on...

    Did Reuters only wrote a title? There's a long article below that title, and we don't know what part is the lie.

    What's not true? He said Reuters lied. About which part of the long article is a lie? I (and you) don't know. Say, Elon decided to dedicated 99% of the resources for the robotaxi so a tiny fraction of the production would be for the $25K version. How much the story would be incorrect? A tiny...

    It's positive because it neglects the elephant in the room: why such a drop in demand? AFAIK, the auto market grew in the US and Europe. I don't know about total China but BYD BEV sales grew YoY this quarter. Tesla's sales decreased in total so something isn't right.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Exactly. That's why the first question should be "Why can't Tesla get car buyers to even consider getting Teslas when they can afford them?!". Far too many people who live close to Tesla service centers are buying ICE/PHEV that are worse than Tesla on all fronts (ask my 65 y-o father about his...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I'm all for making EV more affordable, but far too many ICE are being sold at prices well above Tesla's. With Tesla sales dropping hard in a market that's growing YoY, our first question should be: why demand for Tesla is not growing with the demand for cars? Tesla are far better than they were...
