Thank you for your support, and I agree with your "break even or slight annual profit for 2018" call. 2018 GAAP profitability would have immense...
It's a shame that Moody's hasn't upgraded Tesla already, frankly. Maybe they are waiting for Tesla to pay down/off the converts, or their valued...
That's right! I did see that! Thank you. Not that I was looking for anyone to defend me, but I thought it was admirable that you did that.
Why, thank you. It was eating me inside that I couldn't thank this post. Not sure why I thought I'd still be able to agree/disagree while banned....
I don’t know how they get to 10k/w Model 3’s without putting up a couple of more tents and another paint shop, say by next summer.
"end up like Troy" - detail-oriented, data-driven, useful, factual, and right? Sign me up! @Troy is a legend as far as I'm concerned. Obviously...
Speculation. Note that I was the only person who pointed out the negative margin impact, which the market priced in today.
Electric-Car Market Share In 2013: Understanding The Numbers Better "In the United States, each price drop of $5,000 roughly doubles the buyer...
October 31 is the likely date, but Tesla may drop it at any time. There is no requirement to announce a date. November 7 is also a potential date.
No automaker other than Tesla will be profitable in 2019.
VW is building an all-electric vehicle factory for 300,000 cars per year in China
4.5k/w, and yes.
Yes; MR supports the mission by accelerating market share growth while not driving the company into bankruptcy. I'm calculating the specific...
TMC is to Bulls what SA is to Bears: an echo chamber. It's definitely not the place for "the most accurate" information if there is such a thing....
MR will command less margin than LR, but don’t discount the positive impact of higher fixed asset AND labor cost absorption on the rest of the...
“Something that Tesla desperately needs right now.” How do you explain the fact that Tesla neither needs nor wants external capital, if it so...
This is actually a concern. Why not produce 7,000+ LR and ship to int’l? Or if cells are the limiting factor, why not increase price and ship...
It’ll stay as deferred revenue
Cash flow is counted when the cash comes in...
Yep, agreed. Your situation is the norm: SA to TMC to enlightenment to Elon Time to the endless wait, but you came in at a good price, so you...
Echo chamber. There is some, sporadic useful discussion, but you have to exactly know whom to follow, while also watching out for propaganda...
Not the rest of the forum, just a dozen or so Vigilantes: long-time members, never see negative with the company or management, heavily criticize...
Thanks for the unsolicited advice; no sweating here, and zero weight placed on how much I'm "respected" by TMC Vigilantes... seriously?!
Lemur will arrive in 3 days maybe, 6 days definitely.
Do you think it's wrong to recommend professional help to someone, if they can benefit from it?
First, NASDAQ is the index to use. Second, dividend-adjusted prices must be used. Third, the risk in Tesla and its insane volatility need to be...
Step 2: Discredit, even though it has nothing to do with the specifics being discussed. The TMC Vigilante playbook is too predictable. Did you...
There rush in the TMC Vigilantes trying to bully concerned, factual bulls out of the stock with their straw man arguments.
Yep, it's my fault. Everyone else predicted that we'd be flat for nearly five years, while I miscalculated the risks. I wonder what caused that?...
Most everyone knows I fight FUD on SA/Twitter/other just like many others, but minimizing and labeling multi-year investor concerns as "bitching...
Again, you are missing the essence of my post, which is that many more than just short-term speculators have been hurt by the stock's long-term...
First, is an 8% annualized return what justifies Tesla's insane volatility? Second, my post says "nearly five years;" the high price on February...
Please don't minimize investor concerns by labeling it as some sort of short-sighted rent-seeking. The fact is that the stock hasn't done anything...
"Short burn of the century" wasn't so coded, and we know how that turned into long burn of the century. There are many examples like that, but can...
Tesla is NOT a private business; that’s the whole point. Tesla is a publicly traded company owned by its shareholders, including Elon at about...
Could you please provide support/link for “Elon would have won the lawsuit was an opinion also voiced by a former SEC lead counsel?” - thanks in...
And who’s been screaming at the top of their lungs to stop the tweets? [Raises hand] Yes, Tesla should have had the controls in place. Another...
Thank you. Unfortunately, we are in the minority, because of the incredible echo chamber TMC/investor base has become, leaving all dissent to...
I have already stated that it is the principle, which many are missing by calculating the minute dilutive effect, and how this adds to the bigger...
Tesla should have fined Elon, as I stated many times. Instead of acknowledging my suggestion, you instead decided to "play to the crowds” with a...
The fact that you just identified me as a bear says it all. I rest my case.
If Elon is allowed to make many mistakes in the name of innovation, why aren't his employees when they stand up to him? What kind of an incentive...
Here’s the link to the Electrek article, which independently reaches the same, obvious conclusion that I did: Elon Musk is buying $20 million...
Because no one at Tesla stands up to Elon. Any employee who does is fired, and any investor who dissents is ridiculed by TMC Vigilante via petty...
I fully understand the transaction. You don’t seem to think independently from management. Have you ONCE criticized the management for the...
Elon can do whatever he wants at the open market, subject to the law, but what I suggested is that Tesla should have fined him $20m, instead of...
It reduces the per-share value of future cash flows, ceteris paribus. This isn't investment income; it's pure dilution for existing shareholders...
In that case, why is Tesla issuing shares to Elon, which dilutes existing shareholders, instead of fining him for the second $20 million? With...
How Tesla will produce 10k/w on 210 acres is another question...
"We expect construction to begin in the near future after we get all the necessary approvals and permits. From there, it will take roughly two...
