I wonder how skewed these stats are by all of the banks offering 18 months no interest on their cards. I have about $25,000 worth of credit card debt right now, but I've never paid a cent of interest on a credit card balance ever. I would rather buy TSLA at these prices than pay off my credit cards.I understand that! Just a lot of people... Credit Card Statistics And Trends 2023
One often overlooked area, common with Teslas too, is collision repair. There is an active market in newish totaled Teslas. Rich Rebuilds is one often mentioned here. Another which does battery work also is wk057. Such businesses would benefit greatly from less restrictive Tesla policies. Then there are legions of body shops that really want freedom to use third party parts. This industry is gigantic. That is why companies keep litigating these issues. Tesla cares intensely because even out of warranty does not end potential liability, just reduces it.The lawsuit isn't very clear what's specific bits are the concern. Are they talking about servicing the battery? If it's not under warrantee, I don't think Tesla cares. Likewise the charging system and drivetrain. Lots of 3rd party bodywork gets done. Tires obviously as well.
The biggest problem is there are few or no third party suppliers for replacement parts for a Tesla. I don't think this is due to Tesla, I think it's simply supply and demand. Eventually there will be enough Teslas on the road for these companies to start producing parts for Teslas. But the problem is things that fail, Tesla fixes. Like the 12v system which failed are getting replaced by batteries which should last the life of the vehicle.
That plus the fact that Teslas change so fast likely makes being a 3rd party supplier for Tesla a nightmare.
I must disagree. Busses are needed and used in nearly every urban area in the world. In much if the world large busses are profitable. There are substantial fleets of electric busses also, which, among other obvious benefits, are much cheaper to operate and maintain.Highly unlikely Musk cares about buses. He sees a world full of driverless vehicles where buses are rarely the right size vehicle. How often do 56 people need to start and finish in the same places at the same time? Once the driver is removed, it‘s about cost per seat and cents per km. Mass production favours smaller vehicles. 5 x 12 seaters for a lower price than one bus. With platooning you get energy efficiency.
Where I live there’s 2 buses per day. You could run a driverless 12 seater service every 15mins or on demand for less cost.
Bigger question, does public transport make sense at all if robotaxi is cheaper than a bus ticket? It may be that the cost becomes irrelevant and the deciding factor is which vehicles best utilise available road lanes. Different models for big cities, lower densities and rural.
It really proves Elon was right 6 months ago when he tweeted...Bad mood(y):

Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB) was shutdown by Bank Regulators on March 9, 2023. It is not clear whether this action occurred before or after Moody's issued it's re-rating of the failed Bank.
Moody's Corporation common shares (NYSE:MCO) are up +0.98% since the Close on March 9, 2023, and +7.2% YTD.
Ironically, shares of MOD (a manufacturer of thermal management equipment, like the radiators useful in the real economy) are dn -10.5% since Mar 9, even though they are up +25.6% YTD.
Moody's is just providing a service: transferring wealth from the real economy to thefake economyinsidersFinancial sector. Indeed, MCO cooled down MOD (plus a swack of other equities), and they and their bankster friends are now all the richer for it.

Would be nice if you could give a bit of context here...Sooooo 4 months of Quantitative tightening was erased in 4 days? Money printer back to brrrrr?
I’m hoping Tesla can open locations on tribal land like they did in NM.Can Tesla operate service centers in Mississippi? Can Tesla deliver vehicles in Mississippi with the purchase transaction processed out of state, as with Texas?

If too many states go the way of Mississippi, maybe a lawsuit will be sent to the Supreme Court.
Good point, since collision in not warranty work.One often overlooked area, common with Teslas too, is collision repair. There is an active market in newish totaled Teslas.

Fed is providing liquidity, so it's a reversal from quantitative tightening we have been seeing ever since the start of the bear market. Rate hike stop and QE is back, this means start of the next bull market. Shorts will cover seeing this.Would be nice if you could give a bit of context here...

GUESTS:- Sandy Munro, Vehicle Teardown Specialist, Munro & Associates- Cory Steuben, President, Munro & AssociatesTOPIC:Sandy & Cory were at Tesla's Master P...www.youtube.com
1 hour 50 minutes of Sandy, Cory from Munro + seasoned car maker journalists/experts
Very pro-Tesla in my opinion (so far, still watching)
25k car achievable, Tesla future rosy, 48 volt, view on "investors" focus/expertise - more. Probably little new for you experts
Thanks Stevo /sFor those without the time to spare for the whole buffet SMR boils it down into a Happy Meal.
