Forward Observing
Probably folks woke up to it is fourth quarter 2020. Traditionally speaking 4Q for Tesla (TSLA) is the biggest quarter to the concern of 1Q next year. Plus Tesla has been gaining steam (voltage) since 2010 ~ shocking, right. This quarter, of all quarters stands to bring us one of the self fulfilling prophecy’s of Elon’s projections. So far, Tesla has run over everyone in 2020 in spite of the pandemic.
Toyota’s great grandson recently joined GMC’s Lutz’s by declaring too many cooks in the car kitchen. Toyota had a leg up with their Prius, we owned two of them, including the one with solar panels. But Toyota had an electrical short in their brain waves and dropped the ball about the fifteen yard line. Probably had someone my height run into refrigerator man.
Tesla has been taking the luxury, and mid-size markets by storm; therefore, you might be aware traditional fossil fuel automakers are suffering in the sales department. Not the service department ~ still require 5K or 6 months service (Toyota anyway).
Toyota boasted they were converting to all electric. Dedicated another grandson to head that department years back. Well, not sure what his lab has produced, since before that it was all about Prius.
In case you had your eye on the ball ~ Tesla/Elon has been playin chess while the average automakers, despite the board had colored squares have been playing checkers. See, you had your eye on the ball, and not the chessboard. Tesla has/is building gigafactory, after gigafactory ~ internationally too, improved battery structure/output, self driving, deploying supercharger systems, backup solar storage, solar production, and . . . Sorry, got distracted watching my otter swim up to my neighbors log. Nice sunrise by the way. Damned shiny things.
Elon put the Cybertruck gigafactory in Texas as a precursor to landing on Mars, knowing full well that water was hard to find and life signs were limited. Now that is taking the bull by the horns. Still playing chess though.
Anything old (fossil fuel industry) can and should be replaced. Me too, but I am figuring on at least another 30 years.
Go green!
