Meh. I give that spastic guy two middle fingers. Never did find him funny.

Just stopped by my local Tesla showroom in West MI. Had a CT on display that I could sit in. First time I’ve seen it in person. That thing is awesome. I don’t care what the haters say. Had at least 20 sitting on the lot just delivered and spoken for. The salesperson said sales are starting...

Yup. Tesla/Elon shouldn’t have said the qtr mile and instead stuck with the 1/8. Just gives the haters fuel to point to that while they ignore how impressive the CT actually is even if it does “lose” to the Porsche in that scenario. Even Motortrend admitted that in their video. But I’m sure...

If/when Tesla can get the recurring revenue from robotaxi and Optimus with perhaps paid tasks, then Tesla will be in an apple like position and a Tim Cook can take over to streamline before going stale in a decade. Before then, I agree. Would be horrible if Elon left.

I just think it’s a simple thank you. Doesn’t show pass or fail. People often read far too much into his tweets.

I didn’t pick the 40k out of the blue. That’s what Tesla advertised. Yes, I know inflation, etc and I don’t plan on seeing this number. However, with a tax credit, it might be achievable. The model 3 has certainly been a good price near the original advertised of 35k even with inflation. I...

Yeah I know. But man, would be great though.

If Tesla can get the CT to 40k, they will fly off the lot. At 100k, sales will only go so far.

““At what point do you decide Tesla is bigger than Musk?” The entrepreneur has repeatedly claimed he never wanted to be CEO and hoped to step back and serve as chief product architect once the initial problems manufacturing the Model 3 were solved during the critical launch over six years ago.”...

It would be nice if Elon could “tone it down” on some things. But I don’t see that happening until maybe after the election. I don’t think he will buy another twitter or anything of that magnitude again. Hopefully the next big stuff is Tesla/SpaceX related.

And Leo is even wrong here. Elon was CEO of SpaceX before he was CEO for Tesla.

I don’t think he will quit if it fails. The board can offer another package. And Elon has said for years he never wanted to be the CEO of Tesla. Nothing new there.

And again, a contract is a contract. The “resolution” it could lead to is losing even more. Leo wanted Elon ousted in Jan 2023. I never trust an Uber bull because when they go negative, they go negative hard. There’s no middle ground. Dangerous either way. I hope the following happens: 1...

The vote was for an agreement made. Elon held up his end. Leo profited. Mad or not about what happened since does NOT matter about THAT vote. He can scream, sure. But for Leo to go back on his agreement after Leo was rewarded, is wrong no matter how you slice it. And trust me, all the...

They are screaming again now because the stock price is down from 300 in July. Elon didn’t sell any shares since July. And the plan passed in 2018 because it would be a massive win for shareholders even if it did cost a lot. The gains far exceeded the costs. Now post plan, there is no “gain”...

In dec 2022 was when the stock was low and going lower. Then when the stock price was around 300 in July 2023, the screams lessened. Did Elon change between December of 2022 and July of 2023? No. Just shows it’s only about the stock price.

I wouldn’t trust Leo to make rational decisions. He’s very sketch, IMO. I find that people who are super BULLS, can easily flip and go super negative. One extreme to the other. Not good. My post below is from Jan 2023 and the stock did go back up to almost 300 again as well as the Model Y...

Yeah. I referenced him a few times and definitely egg on my face now. Sad.

Interesting perspective on the lawyer payout.

No one who follows Elon should be surprised by his method of letting people go and subsequently rehiring some.

No. Just from her business account. Still has them in her personal account.

Why would he? Tesla can offer a new package and if the previous one passes, it will be a miracle. Many people are not willing to keep their word. And there are many changes in share ownership since then.

I didn’t realize so many vehicles had low financing rates.

Yeah, I’d be surprised if they total it. But I’ve been wrong before.

Fuse for high voltage battery to cut off power.

I appreciate community notes.

The company itself is running better than before and more lean. Valuation is an arbitrary number largely based on fickle sentiment.

He rehired some people at Twitter too after the mass layoffs. Two methods. 1. Slowly cut to get to the right team. 2. Cut big and rehire to get to the right team. Method one probably takes longer and may create more dissatisfaction over longer period. Gets rid of dead weight quicker...

Hertz EVs failed because of stupid stuff like this. Employees poorly trained or not trained at all. But of course EVs get the blame.

To all the people saying “OMG!, it rusts!” Well here you go.

I just wonder how long before Europe and other countries backtrack on their EV mandates.

Definitely a retreat from EVs. Really sad.

More importantly, it’s up over 13 THOUSAND percent on his watch. The stock went WAY TOO HIGH the first time. Nothing, not even “hopes and dreams” supported that price at that time. That has skewed the numbers dramatically. As far as the rest of the market being up 25%, take out the top 6...

It appears the @Papafox short increase post above was in correlation to this news coming out today. Some people certainly appear to be trading on early information.

Unfortunate indeed. But the Tesla numbers are skewed a bit due to SIXT it appears.

Well… Elon did mention a buyback.

Elon is following them both again. Can see them both in his following tab.

A “super bull” means that even LONG term problems are not a “concern”. I am concerned about long term problems. Ie, Elon were to leave, FSD hit’s a dead end, etc. But short term issues like “OMG, Q1 sales dropped… sell, sell, SELL!!!”, mean nothing.

If I want to hear the bear thesis, I can find it practically everywhere else. Almost every media article, most X posts, most interviews on MSM and many other threads on this forum. Would be nice to have one thread that is full of bear spray. It’s good to understand the full picture but I find...

WholeMars isn’t the best resource but Farzad had issues.

Musk should not be voted out. Just because he doesn’t conform to some peoples “opinions”, gets some facts wrong on X at times and that Tesla has hit a bit of a rough patch with the stock and sales (even though last year sales did very well), doesn’t mean people should overreact and say FIRE...

Buoyed by roughly 6 companies. Most of the market hasn’t recovered from 2022. Can see some of this by looking at the Russell 2000 index.

Someone needs to put up a death clock website of the imminent failure of the supercharger network! /s

Aspirational goals. Take it with a grain of salt then. If people are “concerned” or will later throw shade for not making the goals, don’t buy a product based on “aspirational goals”. Only buy a product for what it does TODAY.

No it isn’t naive. People can buy the product. Use the product. And not have any idea what the CEO is doing. That is true for any and every product available. Now IF you WANT to know all that is going on with said product, then yes. But most don’t give a 💩.
