    Because price collapsed. You can sell 400,000/week for $5,000. How long will you stay in business?

    Inventory (S3XY) seems to be creeping up again. Model Y RWD now costs $759 less than the average amount paid for a car or truck in the US. (Before any EV incentives) Just a few month ago I would have never believed this could happen.

    Something is wrong with Tesla and its def not the price of their cars. Demand is lacking due to other reasons.

    Nvidia mentioned AI in earnings call today 18 times. They said its at an inflection point (referencing OpenAI, Google, Microsoft) If there is pride in your work there is arrogance. Elon is proud of his accomplishments thus he is arrogant. Sam Altman stole his title as the new visionary of the...

    In Q3 Earnings call Elon called Q4 to be epic and continuously reiterated that TSLA will be the most valuable company in the world. Anecdotal but seems like when Elon is publicly bullish its a sign that stock will be in rough waters for a while.

    The tweet is taking about overall Elon margin loan, not Twitter loan. That’s how I understand it.

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

    Every third interview Elon does he mentions the PTSD from 2008-2009 Great Recession that almost brought down Tesla and SpaceX. We are entering another recession so of course he will be overly cautious with buybacks. I buy the idea that earnings, sales, units produced will grow exponentially as...

    I've googled "How much margin does Elon have?" Results are all over the place but this one stands out: "That’s because $12.5 billion of that debt is a margin loan — and that could be bad for Tesla shareholders because, as Reuters reported, were Tesla's stock to drop by 40%, Musk would have to...

    Can someone call Jim Cramers show and trick him to say that Tesla is going lower? His predictions are always inverse of what happens and it would be the cheapest way to turn the narrative going forward. No buybacks required.

    Most important part of the call Drew at 1:02:40. "The are challenges ahead that we still have not surpassed, no doubt" He was answering about 4680 and Semi. Seems like 4680 progress is way overhyped yet again.

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    The Russian army is extremely unprofessional at this point and it probably will not get better. I think we will continue hearing about nukes for much longer as Russian troops retreat further. I have a huge urge to buy the dip in TSLA but it seems that Fed meeting November 1-2 and this war will...

    Over the last 12 months we have seen 500/600 levels so these levels are nothing to stress about. Wallstreet has been blind to Teslas growth and earnings forever so nothing unusual here. We have been in this boat numerous times over the last few years.

    Why do we need this EV Bill anyway? I honestly don't understand. Tesla sells and will sell each car they make. This bill will do nothing to speed up production at Tesla. If Tesla achieves milestones shown during Battery Day then demand will not become an issue. Judging by the Biden speech...
