Wow.I saw a couple references to the horrific crash where a Tesla plunged down a cliff and all occupants survived. There was speculation about whether FSD was enabled or not. Turns out the driver did it intentionally and has been arrested for attempted murder.
CHP says Tesla plunge at Devil's Slide was intentional, driver arrested for attempted murder
The driver has been placed under arrest for attempted murder and child abuse after intentionally driving off the cliff in his car with one adult and two kids inside, the CHP said.abc7news.com
This is some seriously weak sauce.Well written, pseudo insightful hogwash, pure malarkey.
GJ, you here?
“We admire the range of American companies that have innovated, including Tesla, which did so much to make EVs possible in America,” Buttigieg said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”particularly since Pete was one of the folks in the administration that absolutely refused to say the word 'Tesla' out loud, even when the media would press him on it because they knew their audience was already aware of the conflict that presented for Pete.
It's a little bit skewed here since the person is comparing listed base prices against actual average selling priceInteresting thread about Tesla M3 pricing and how it closely followed the average US selling price for all new cars
And hauling Shanghai-Germany-Taiwan is almost a perfect round-trip!Honda had -33% yoy (growth), perhaps wall street prefers that,.
Lots of ROROs shipping cars out of Japan that will soon be looking for a new gig.
You better assume both will happen.I’m feeling confident that the earnings call will be good for TSLA as long as Elon is not on the call or at least doesn’t go all worst-case scenario apocalyptic mode as he usually does.
This does indeed sound like Gordon Johnson. The fact is a smaller slice of a much bigger pie is more pie....I realise it is not popular to say this, but a corresponding story is so far playing out in the BEV market. The data shows that Tesla is year-on-year losing market share by volume, by GWh, and by revenue.
What on Earth are you talking about? Tesla has other engineers besides Elon.Tesla needs to decide whether it is predator or prey, rather than distractedly fiddling with blue feathery baubles in another room.
Tesla is buying Bitcoin again!Thoughts on Investor Day? "capital allocation" could be referring to the buyback.

Thank you for sharing!I haven't posted in almost a year. Not since after a couple of my concerns about Elon were taken down. This was around the time of comparing Trudeau to Hitler and supporting the Canadian 'convoy'.
At the risk of being deleted again, in good conscience I feel the need to share this from the perspective of an Investor, in an Investor's thread.
I would first like to say that our family are owners of 4 Model X's, 1 Y, 1 Model 3, and multiple orders for the Cybertruck. We believe in the products and the future of the company, and will always support the inevitability of the EV industry.
However, the progression of recent events and actions, today being no less, of the company's leadership, make me feel that a significant structural change is required for the benefit of both the company and it main owner.
I would like to encourage more of a dialogue of how the leadership can be restructured to channel the skills of Elon while also breaking the perception that Elon = Tesla, and Tesla = Elon. I believe this would be good for Elon, for Tesla, and society in general.
Anyone that has not seen an continuing escalation in his behavior the last couple of years is fooling themselves. Thank you for listening.
Ok - who reached out to Elon?That's awesome @EVNow - I am still rolling at the concept of that:

A bit more fitting of a ring to it for Pete as compared to Better Call Saul, particularly since Pete was one of the folks in the administration that absolutely refused to say the word 'Tesla' out loud, even when the media would press him on it because they knew their audience was already aware of the conflict that presented for Pete. Do you really believe that Pete would even consider answering Elon on Twitter regarding anything to do with Tesla? If your answer wasn't just another knock on Elon/Twitter and you were being completely sincere then I would encourage everyone on TMC to constructively get your message to Elon to do just that, and let's get this Model Y exclusion fixed ASAP.
About a decade ago I/we pulled our business out of being a storage designer/manufacturer. One of the reasons I did so was because I knew we did not have the depth of capital to go head-to-head with Musk/Tesla in the space, and nor could we compensate with low labour costs. So we focussed in other places. I/we were very right to be concerned as Tesla's offering was attractive: they simply had more firepower and it showed.
Collectively the Chinese on the other hand did not step back. They have comparable depth of capital to Tesla/Musk (or far more, depending on how you view things) and they pushed ahead with moving LFP from concept to reality, reaching (now) a price/performance point that is globally relevant to the mass market for storage. (and related stuff) They primarily did that because they were motivated by the vehicle market. The term I have used for 15+ years is that there is a mobility-premium for wrapping a battery in a vehicle shell, and the market simply does not - for many very understandable reasons - want to grant that premium margin to stationary storage. So LFP was aimed at vehicles. But it is also en passant solving the storage problem which is now scaling fast.
The size of that rapidly growing mass market from year-to-year is a closely held secret, if indeed anyone knows all the puzzle pieces. I try to track it through different approaches, but it is nigh-on impossible to quantify. I'm not sure many other people have a much better understanding, however much they sell their research reports for (they used to come to me, trying to blag me to get my data for their report). As you probably know I suss out the vehicle/battery splits each year to try and keep tabs on that, enough to do some basic public domain analysis. Quantifying storage with an equivalent precision was tough. From the limited poor quality signals I could assess, until last year I thought Tesla had overwhelming dominance in the utility segment, but was less obviously dominant in the domestic segment, and there were signs that the commercial segment was a fizzle for everyone.
In the course of the last year it has become clearer from the qualitative public domain info that Tesla is no longer competitive in the domestic market. That is why apart from some special niche markets (such as the USA ..... which is why a lot of US-ians aren't reading the tea leaves well ....) Tesla has largely pulled out of attempts to grow their presence in domestic. Instead Tesla has focussed its efforts on the larger utility-scale products and projects. Now does this mean that Tesla can't sell every (domestic) Powerwall it produces: no. Does this mean the price for Powerwall's is reducing : no. So But go look in the market beyond the USA and the Tesla Powerwall is practically a dead product, swamped under a tidal wave of Chinese clones. Overall the Chinese are growing their absolute market size faster than Tesla is, and hence Tesla's market share is reducing.
Anyone who has ever read Christensen's "Innovators Dilemma" can tell you what is most likely to come next. I've spoilt things by giving my opinion. Tesla will sell every utility scale Megapack they can make for the next few years and will command a premium price for them. None of them will sell into China. Many will sell into USA or to clients in the wider western alliance who are allergic to China. But increasingly the Chinese will move upscale into the utility segment and take what in the longer term will likely become the commanding position. And then Tesla utility-scale storage margins will wither year-by-year with no path back, no matter how many turnaround plans are attempted. The projected scenario in the graphs I gave earlier are very much the high-case; the low-case is far less attractive.
AWOL? Perhaps leave your non usians space and visit Austin TX, latrhop ca, Shanghai, Berlin and then justify how they are not deploying capital for growth?Is this a logical harvesting strategy for Tesla, yes. Is it a sign of weaknesses inside Tesla, also yes. Ultimately we know that pathway is terminal in the hardware space. (Tesla keeps on saying that is has not got a capital problem, but it has been AWOL on deploying it aggressively in this space. So that means Tesla has had a leadership talent problem in this space. I'd have though that much was patently obvious given the history of what we now call Tesla Energy). Does it mean investors should worry, absolutely, because by the time storage sales revenues are that significant then also the stuffing will have been beaten out of margins.
I realise it is not popular to say this, but a corresponding story is so far playing out in the BEV market. The data shows that Tesla is year-on-year losing market share by volume, by GWh, and by revenue. I last posted this graph about 11-months ago. Clearly Tesla has put its first team into bat in the vehicle market, and the seconds are playing in the storage market (and crikey knows who are in the solar market). The first team are playing an excellent game. The second team may be about to get a second wind for a while. And the third team are playing in some 0.1% league.
The analysts who are asking questions on the quarterly call are about as dangerous as a newborn baby deer. The better-armed hunters in the market have shot off a lot of ammunition recently, and some of it has hit home - that was because they can detect a valid scent, even if they don't yet fully understand it. Tesla needs to decide whether it is predator or prey, rather than distractedly fiddling with blue feathery baubles in another room.

It’s a lose-lose situation.I’m feeling confident that the earnings call will be good for TSLA as long as Elon is not on the call or at least doesn’t go all worst-case scenario apocalyptic mode as he usually does.
Just pour concrete in the extra cargo space that the 5 seater has … name part #IRAI would say add $7500 and Tesla will includes some "OFFROAD edition" package that includes backup power station to adding weight? (Something that detechable from the car) I'm pretty sure lots of people will be interested to have one of these if $7500 incentive are available?

Stock bottomed after a couple months at $180 - pre pre split. Rest is history.
