    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Building the X IS rocket science, since IMHO they discovered in the process (since 2012!) that when You split a gullwing door by two, you end up in a maze. One hinge alone is a tremendous task getting the panel gaps and the fit on the opposite side correct. The still present huge gaps on the...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    The recent news about incentives in Germany up to €5000,- starting July1st will give the stock IMHO an easy push above $200. These news were long overdue and will function as a catalyst for Europe as a whole.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Well, I was sceptic, and I am sceptic to this point. Elon sounded completely erratic this time except as pointed out some engineering and GF questions. But completely lacking the powerful competitive sub tone usually present. Adam Jonas a complete letdown.Almost as if he avoided the critical...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Still massive problems with the ModelX. The way EM tried to avoid all relevant questions was obvious. Even Straubel seems aware now. His bodyguard CFO was brilliant tho in guiding the critical questions away. Still MX issues massively present.

    That´s the outlook.Of course that´s critical. But whats elementary to the companies survival right now is a diversification of management responsibilities. • a strong, controlling EXISTING TSLA board. • responsible, articulate managers in quality control,engineering and design.Last time I heard...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Look closely. The descent started January 20 when TSLA announced the "door gate" and accelerated on 25th when Hoerbiger tried to fight back. THEN shorts and big investors drew conclusions. They are the symptom. This problem dates back to pre 2012 and the artistic stubbornness of the responsible...

    And this is where I exactly feel betrayed. They KNEW at this time that they have severe issues with the door.The German supplier was at that time most definitely excluded. They knew back from their prototype stages in 2011/12 that this will be a key issue. Still they chose to "fiddle" on with...

    Nope.Still waiting on "parts".Could mean anything.Product not ready yet.Everything hand built up to this moment. Door was status quo being refined in 2012.It´s just not possible to NOT figure out this technique in 4-6 years. Dan Galves is a medium, not a critical counterpart like (at least this...

    What gives You this idea? And why did the cheerleaders vanish? Because this company didn´t get a grip about those doors (or simply neglected it), and I don´t care hinges, sensors, pumps, seals etc... for the last 6 (!) if I generously add 2 years back for development off the beta and...

    Are we worried yet about Tesla Stock?

    As for me I´m worried. The loose ends dating back to mid 2015 make sense in a very bad way. Has nothing to do with shorts IMHO, they only function as a catalyst.

    This is the key point. IF there are severe issues, which we now can shurely assume, the last 8 months (!) if not more were severely misleading to any shareholders. Elementary pointing in the wrong direction.That´s what the case against the former hinge manufacturer uncovered. Since then the...

    This is IMHO worst case scenario what we are witnessing today. Doors were problematic from day one. All of You remember when they didn´t fully close even back then at the prototype shows. FYI that was 2012 (!) Now, four years later this problem still seems completely unsolved. That is not only...

    Possible outcomes of NHTSA investigation and Tesla response

    100% correct.You cannot own the news if You always run AFTER the public formed it´s opinion.That´s the opposite of preserving a brand. You literally throw your brand to the critics, which is happening now. A brand is much more than a bunch of technical facts and pure engineering. It´s a feel.And...

    Elon Speaks on TESLA Fires

    Um-no. This will be carved on the medal they´ll find one day. Same lax reality distorsion field as in the Clooney case.

    Even if Clooney is a poseur.Even if he is a smug with low self esteem who always pulling out the same old jokes as the article suggests. Even then, You simply cannot argue as Elon did. That´s the way Toyota acted after the first failures. That´s the way the Audi bosses roared after the first...

    Sorry, but this cavalier attitude roots on belitteling the next man and shows the first signs of megalomania IMHO.

    If the whole underbody is one target instead of a portion of the car between the rear axle, where the tank normally resides, simple statistics come into effect. After reading this wikipedia info a potential objective scientific investigation of this incident seems even harder:
