Articles re Tesla—Fact or Fiction?
- Thread starter Robert.Boston
- Start date
note Tesla is named in the Reuters article even tho tesla asked for what sources are, which is ignored.
i in no way agree with the amnesty article ,or Reuters negative spin on the article.
I see it as a vaguely subtle attempt to depress the stock price, and I am unaware how cobalt would be used in rotating magnetic fields "Tesla's 3-Phase 4-Pole AC Induction Motor"
this is more a warning that elsewhere fud will appear based on it
Seeking alpha has a lot of comments, one asking where is Montana in the Q3 results thread

He will for sure post an article tomorrow, about how the ER will be record losses. Article was already written, he is just plugging in the 24500 number.
He is however still sweating how to explain that Tesla states it still has 5k in the delivery pipeline. But he will surely have some fabicated explanation for that, based on vague assumptionist and insinuations of Tesla lying.
there is now talk about using a BFR as a Cruise Ship, ala Carnival crusie lines.
cruising a week or a month around lunar and such
this is kinda mushrooming all over the place (and im a tiny bit guilty)

So they decided to add Tesla to their "potential chart". Here is the article in January (which I recalled didn't have Tesla there):
Child labour in batteries
Trying to capitalize on the Tesla name (which I guess in January didn't fly on their radar).
The first article shows Tesla getting batteries from LG Chem. The only batteries they have gotten from LG Chem are for the Roadster upgrades. A very tiny percentage of all the batteries Tesla has bought.
Tesla's goal with the Gigafactory is to source raw materials as close to home as possible. Canada produces a fair bit of cobalt, and Cuba has a fairly hefty reserve and their mining is way below capacity now. With continuing improved relations between Cuba and the US, Tesla could get cobalt from Cuba. Australia has a very large cobalt reserve, it's estimated to only be 2nd to the Congo's.
The US has some cobalt reserves and production, but they are tiny compared to the bigger players.
Cobalt is used in the chemistry of the li-ion batteries Tesla uses. That particular chemistry has the highest energy density of the various possible li-ion chemistries that are mass producible. I have never heard anybody say anything about anyone using it in motors, nor can I think of a use for cobalt in motors. However cobalt is a component of some types of steel.

And there is the (predicted) Montana Skeptic article on SA, with the (predicted) content.
Most interesting part :
In November, I'll reach my first anniversary of writing about Tesla.
I'm thinking of hanging up my spikes. It's been fun and fascinating, and I like to think I wrote some pieces that are original, well-researched, and important. Most of my best stuff is thanks to the terrific help of the many great readers here at Seeking Alpha.
Interesting timing .. Q3-ER with good chances for Tesla profitability is expected around Nov. 3rd.
Poor shorts / bears. It was already a difficult day for them, and now this !
Edit : Typo's / P.S. I did notice the title changed :
it was:
Are Tesla's Q3 Numbers Terrific Or Terrible? There's No Way To Know Yet
It is now:
Tesla's Q3 Numbers: Will Record Deliveries Wreck The Income Statement?

If you put a question mark at the end of the title, that automatically gives you the leeway to say any crap you want.

At least this time it is very easy to guess who is funding him to write this "article" : National Automobile Dealers Association

Anton Wahlman just did another "strafing run" article on Seeking Alpha
he has not answered any requests for comments since April, 19th, 2016 so commenting on his article at all is useless, unless you want something deleted

Please note highlights. I hate to click in and earn him his clicks. Don't feed the bears.
to be fair to AntonW and his commenters, he used to get 500-1,000 comments, now it's under 30, he is fading away,
Montana, that young looking lawyer with 30 years experience is voluntarily going away.
not a lot from Santos lately either,
I did enjoy some of Montana's comments
"Potemkins all the way down, conflating the origin and what holds up the earth (turtles) and the Potemkin village of russia {empty facades},
he seemed to be a bit irked when i called portions of some of his things "1/2 potemkin, part way down", but was curteous with responses
I was very surprised when I asked Disneyesque how to use Walt Disney's image commercially in paid articles like he did, and was jumped on, so asked the SA moderators how to do so and suddenly his avatar image changed.
eh, just lucky i guess,
In any case, according to a Washington Post article five days ago on the topic of Cobalt mining in the Congo:
This is where your smartphone battery begins

Schmitt in a back breaking spin claiming that the success of EV's is bad for Tesla. Seriously.
For Tesla, Electric Car Sales Explode In All The Wrong Places
He is the new John Petersen.
