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

[Thekiwi]

Anyone else notice what's not happened this quarter?

Answer (highlight): Price cuts.

Actually seeing a price INCREASE on FSD. Also a price increase for the forthcoming highest performance S.

IF (a big if) we see an earlier than expected Model Y start, we probably wont see much in the way of price cuts at all in 2020 if battery supply is still constrained.

Tesla will have to adopt a French name if so. That's the law in Quebec (unless it's been changed).

There are a number of French names that contain a Q and/or end with a Q sound (for example, Jacques). Maybe Tesla should go with the name TSLAQ?

What's even sadder is such a strong negative financial experience associated with Tesla will mean that, due to negative associations, they will likely NEVER be able to experience the joys of Tesla ownership even after they recover financially. I find that even sadder than them going broke.

I don't know, do all the folks who shorted AMZN insist on going to brick and mortar stores to shop or avoid using internet data?

Where at Fremont are they gong to put "A new Model Y line"? A one point there was talk on this forum of having the ability of producing either Y's or 3's on the same line. Do we even know how many lines are currently producing 3's? It seems to me that the differences we've discussed between the two models would require significant modification to the line(s) and a considerable loss of 3 production during the conversion. What am I not getting? Splain Lucy.

From all the permits. Looks like they are expanding the factory.

What Musk actually said was that it's be priced between today's Model S Performance and a Taycan Turbo. So between $115k and $150k.

Thanks. That sounds even better.

The closer it is to ~$130K, the more people will wait IMO. If I was in the market to buy a new Perf S and didn't have to get one right away, I'd certainly wait.

Well, just missed out on closing above $260, but congrats Tesla on tying your all-time record of 8 green-days in a row!

One more, to set a new record?

Beatles Eight days a week.

Company names are fine as is a trademark. They just couldn’t have a sign up that says something like “Tesla battery plant”. It would have to be “Les batteries Tesla” for example, or just “Tesla”. If a sign is bilingual the French has to be predominant. Pretty sure that’s how it goes as my ex is in charge of communications at the language bureau :-/

This reminds of the time on TV that I pronounced the name of the Quebec firm Bombardier in the French manner. A senior colleague started chuckling and tried to correct me. I had the last laugh.

Electrek - this morning:

A fleet of 40 Tesla Model 3s is creating an all-electric taxi service in Madison - Electrek

Is it possible for ICE taxis and EV taxis to cohabitate a single taxi rank?

I don’t think so. Imagine it each time the EV is not front of the queue...

NFLX up 8% following earnings.

$5.25 billion in revenue, $665 million in net income.

Meanwhile Disney and Amazon are preparing their assault. Tesla killers? How about Netflix killers?

Market cap: $125 billion, 3 times as high as Tesla. Yep, it all makes perfect sense.

You forgot to mention the negative $3.5 billion in projected cashflow from operations for 2019, and guidance for continued cashflow losses funded by debt for 2020 and beyond.

Apple is also joining the assault
