We knew Elon and Tesla would get torn up in the press after today and this is probably the worst account from the market side I've seen in this article: Elon Musk acted like a jerk, and Tesla stock paid the price

Paying for internet to watch the Tesla quarterly call, $1We knew Elon and Tesla would get torn up after today in the press and this is probably the worst account from the market side I've seen in this article: Elon Musk acted like a jerk, and Tesla stock paid the price
An offline copy of the conference call is great. Thanks!Downloadable audio of the call, for those that prefer an offline copy.
My suggestion is don't focus on short term. I don't care about the next 3 or 6 months. Tesla is a long term buy and hold.... I think in the end those buy and hold guys will gain the most.
Fantastic work! This QR call is an important footnote in Tesla’s history and should be a model for other companies on how to handle calls
Yeah, me too. Like: 2017 Investor Roundtable:General DiscussionI've been making this exact point for a while, nice to see them officially confirming it.Another nugget from shareholder letter
"The cobalt content of our Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum cathode chemistry is already lower than next-generation cathodes that will be made by other cell producers with a Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt ratio of 8:1:1. As a result, even with its battery, the gross weight of Model 3 is on par with its gasoline-powered counterparts."
When Tesla has 2 profitable quarters will they be included in the S&P index?
Does Tesla ask to join S&P or is it the other way around?
This is important as lots of institutional index funds would need to buy tesla if this happened. This may help support the SP.
Looking 10 years out when tsla becomes a $600B company, is there any chance it would be included in the Dow?
Need 4 consecutive quarters to be positive overall and the last to be positive. S&P calls you.
Any idea how many ships so far this year? Last year China Tesla doubled sales from 2016. To double again is about 4 billion, or a little more than one ship every other week.approx 1250 vehicles just left via ship bound for shanghai , marine traffic shows another car carrier docked as soon as this one left.
So is it just me, or is the 'real company has profits' an oblique reference to past time to be in the S&P?
still sounds like a big productivity opportunity in A2. 5000 a week at 17 minutes is up to 8 lines of pack assembly. Getting this under 5 minutes will cut assembly labor down and allow two lines to handle 5000 packs. I’m sure they’ll need two of at least part of the new Grohman system to get to 10,000 a week. This should also save space on the plant floor."Consequently, we now expect to reach a module production rate of 5,000 car sets per week even before we install the new automated line designed and built by Tesla in Germany."
Yes, seems like they backed off on the automation front and are doing more manually. They will need to increase automation, and they stated this, to achieve the targeted gross margins going forward.
The next 6 months are all about increasing Model 3 production profitably.

Both questions might have been intended to feed the bear narrative, but he should just someone else answer if he’s pissed. I’m sure the mute was him saying cut them off and go to YouTube and everyone else saying there will be hell to pay. Tony thought Apple would be caught in a downward pricing spiral to sell iPhones back to the 400 iPhone 3. He’s always wrong about tech and disruption, but a company backed by billions has chosen to employ him for a long time. A deflected answer and implied “you idiot” would probably have been better. That said, Model 3 production, if on track, and profits will win the long term battle.This is where we are? Defending Elons actions by comparing him to Trumps public speaking antics and Tesla to what is effectively a dividend yielding utility. I have faith in Elon, I'm very long TSLA, I liked some of the content on its own merits.. But I am surprised my feelings are so far removed from others here. I suppose I should be hopeful that the world will perceive this call as many of you do.
The world won't end, but this CC didnt feel productive.
