Maybe it was just more politically correct than “Hates Elon Musk”.“Does not align with values”. That‘s an odd choice to give in a survey.

What I find most interesting about this is the final reason "Don't want to be first" - meaning they're still seen as nascent to manyBehind paywall:

Could advertising help with any of these?
Need for Tesla Advertising / PR
Anyone who thinks cars are an investment (other than some antiques that are almost never driven) needs some summer classes before they can graduate.I don't think so. As new Tesla vehicles become cheaper, resale value will continue to drop. A Model Y somebody got for $55k earlier this year may re-sell for $30k in 2 years if the price of a new Model Y drops to $40k by then. The buyers who enjoyed excellent resale value are those who purchased before mid-2021.
...rather they are completely transparent with their prices that allows people to be upset!
Well, he never said who's hair. Of course we all hope that it's those who deserve it.Why is Musk so confident about Burnt Hair coming soon?
MooooooI bought a 386SX/16 from Gateway 2000 in May of 1990. Got MS-DOS 3.3 on it. Still p*ss*d. Wan my $$ back. /s
Fair point, but what are your alternatives? As the world moves more and more to EVs, I believe that ICEV will take an additional resale value hit because they aren't EVs...So I'm not sure how you beat this trend of Tesla scaling and the price reductions that naturally occur as a result. Buy a Kia? MachE? MB EQS? Don't see how that helps...ICEV? No way. Maybe the only solution is to buy the Hummer EV, since the volumes are so low that demand will still remain pent up....Brilliant Mary!I don't think so.

Frankly, in this very case, you might actually get your money back and more. Retro computing is a thing now and this is a specimen.I bought a 386SX/16 from Gateway 2000 in May of 1990. Got MS-DOS 3.3 on it. Still p*ss*d. Wan my $$ back. /s
My other thought here is this is the quarter when Energy finally blooms?
I find myself realizing that there is a BIG gap between what my 2018 TM3 is "worth" in the market and what it's worth to me. It now has 80K miles on it. Paint and interior are immaculate (I do pride myself of taking excellent care of my vehicles). Looks and feels brand new IMO. I just put a new set of Michelins on it, so it might as well be new to me. How much would I pay for a fancy new one with an octovalve? Maybe $100. I've already got the latest firmware and beta FSD rockin'... So, just like my TSLA, I will HODL my 2018 TM3.Tried to shop for what in my mind was going to be a cheap beater M3 for daughter's learner permit. Oh boy was I mistaken.
The cheapest non salvage M3 that I found in all of the US is this one:View attachment 927194 $26000. A new one is View attachment 927196-$7500=$34490. Six years old, 110k miles and worth over 75% of what a new one costs. Naturally they have dropped more from the 2017 introductory pricing as well as last year's peak. But if you use today's price as a baseline, the resale value is absolutely astounding.
The $ that could have gone into advertising instead went into building a superior product and it shows in the demand still six years later. The superiority year by year over used and new competitors remind drivers and riders every day. How many of the competitors' ad campaigns from 2017 are still at work getting replayed everyday in 2023?
As a shareholder I like this.
What would they be recognizing revenue for?Tesla plans to recognise $1B in deferred revenue from FSD (w. the wide release of v.11 "Single Stack" at the end of March, I expect at least $250M of that in Q1)
I agree. Hoping that the Y will last at least 10+ years. Currently on year 3. My record is 15.5 years before I could let that car go.I plan to keep my Model Y for the next 10 years or longer.. I've had it for about 2 years now.. with all software updates I just don't see a reason to update to a newer one..
So resale value doesn't mean much to me.
Why is Musk so confident about Burnt Hair coming soon?
Seems like it won’t be auto, the whole auto side of the story is fairly tightly bound. There might be a small upside surprise, but certainly volume or revenue are pretty well known.
Possibly margins on auto are going to crush? With Berlin and Austin in full swing and raw materials pricing down, may be a surprise with margins.
My other thought here is this is the quarter when Energy finally blooms?
Edit. Or more likely, like with most Tesla Kremlinology, Burnt Hair is just literally a weird perfume/ scent idea and there is no catalyst coming soon.
Ah, but did you get the Math Chip? Helps with resale.I bought a 386SX/16 from Gateway 2000 in May of 1990. Got MS-DOS 3.3 on it. Still p*ss*d. Wan my $$ back. /s
