2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

[anon]

On the plus side, maybe this will FINALLY convince Elon that he needs to spend the money on better audio equipment...

 

[pz1975]

Spiegel sabotaging the audio...it's all he's got left.

 

[Zaxxon]

On the bright side, you can bet your butts that they'll have a new phone system for the Q3 call. Finally.

Edit - Tentonine beat me to it...

What music is this ?

 

[Lessmog]

Somebody must have shorted his mic!
I'm outta here.
Seeya tomorrow

 

[everman]

Poor Elon! He’s trying to take his Model 3 delivery victory lap and the audio is killing him!

“You cannot be serious!” - Elon

A dividend in 2018 is not out of the question.

Yes, it is out of the question. All cash flow will go back into gigafactories for at least a few more years.

I love this encrypted conference call. Longs think it's bullish. Shorts interpret it as very bearish, as always.

 

[Cattledog]

I guess we have to wait for a transcript. I can only hear every third or fourth word

You're ....., .... .... to wait ... ... .......... to .. published,

And pause whilst someone runs to RadioShack for some new equipment

 

[Thumper]

The music is calming me down.

 

[elasalle]

Censors at work .. stopping EM from saying "production hell"

 

[phil0909]

A dividend by 4Q18 is not out of the question.

Rate this post "funny" at your own risk.

So you're now saying the day has NOT come, but it may or may not come sometime in the next 17 months. That's a bit more realistic, though I would still give long odds against.

 

[dirtyofries]

Oh God, this is so much better.

 

[mrdoubleb]

And pause whilst someone runs to RadioShack for some new equipment

I was just typing a response to "what music is this" saying "i don't know but we will be listening to it until that poor intern gets back from Best Buy"... But RadioShack will work.

 

[ruralectric]

Well what a complete Cluster!! Perhaps Tesla will be finally shamed into once and for all investing in a decent teleconferencing system. Geesus Elon, you can land a rocket on a f$n barge!!!

 

[Zaxxon]

Ah, crap. That was the new system?

We're doomed.

 

[ValueAnalyst]

"At least they have some good taste in classical music"

... said one of my subscribers, so I can't take credit.

 

[Ovulation]

Communications continues to be Tesla's NUMBER ONE problem. LOL

I've emailed Jeff Evanson about this in the past. He admitted they were aware their conf calls were lousy. I begged him to fix, hire some top audio consultants, get the best equip. He said he would. He clearly didn't.

This is a disaster.

Thanks man you wasted 10 minutes of my life lol

 

[chronopublish]

I encourage all bulls to not gloat.

All of us have been wrong before, and it's time to invite bears to our side.

Many of them have lost a lot of money this year. We may be talking about people's retirement savings and their kids' college tuitions.

This is not the time to make fun of them.

Maybe it's not a great idea to build retirement savings and kids' college tuition by betting on companies to fail.
