Being a bull and fully invested, honestly I'm quite bummed out with all the hyperbolic long-term aspirations. It's like - stop talking, show us some real meat, then we talk. Given the price action, we can infer the market is feeling the same way.
This is Elon and Co., always thinking well in advance of where they want to go. It's not going to stop. They're in it for the betterment of mankind not for company valuation. If they stop searching for better ways, I'm out.
Yep, the market seems confuzzled. Good. I hope everyone else and their brother and neighborhood OEM, battery maker and energy storage company stay confuzzled - with the exception of all the fine, wise people here and those nearest and dearest to them because when all the pieces finally come together the amount of brain matter that ejaculates out the doubters' ears is going to be the most spectacular spectacle in the history of the world.
There's been plenty of meat over the last 4 years. So not sure what you're talking about on that front.
Sure some of you crunched some numbers and came to conclusions. Not looking through microscope though, it appears that they are slipping the 2k/week end of Q2 target and moving it to Q4 end. So this more of - well, more talking of more long term stuff, while still continue to slip near term stuff.
They crunch numbers to see if they're missing something, to stay on top of what's coming at the next ER, to position themselves for money making market moves. (Geesh! That was some good alliteration right there.)
Tesla may or may not be slipping on their short term execution. We'll only know for sure after the fact when the numbers come out. Thusly, as always, short term trading in TSLA is very risky, especially since we KNOW that the people behind the ticker are always going to be thinking for bigger, better, symbiotic plans for the world and are NEVER focused on the short term, or the dividend. They surmise as best they can from quarter to quarter what numerical values they'll hit. In the end it's a GUESS, an ESTIMATION, a GOOD INTENTIONED plan, but they're going to ALWAYS choose to sacrifice today for tomorrow. That's how they roll. It's what makes the rollercoaster ride so gosh darn exciting!!!
X really ought to stop bleeding at some point. It's hard to gain confidence in all this new stuff, when X turned out to be what is has. All along Musk and JB have been *very* optimistic on X as a product, of their production capabilities, and of the ramp. Only when it became undeniable public knowledge that X is having issues, they came forward explaining themselves out.
If you ignore everything that's come before, forgetting history, then yes it would be very hard to have any confidence in all the new stuff. But if you take a trip down memory lane (it's recorded now for posterity) and look at what's been overcome on the way to here...it becomes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy easy to have confidence.
They'll iron out the X bugs. They'll make mistakes with the 3, but on the bright side of things they'll be dealing with those essentially internally since employees get the 3 first. How freaking cool is that?!?!?!? A free group of guinea pigs that make and test the new vehicle before it hits the wider streets. How's that for learning from past mistakes?! That right there is pure genius.
In my view (or market's view for that matter), Elon and others will not be forthcoming of any issues with model 3 or gigafactory or anything else until unless it becomes an undeniable public knowledge. So anything they say now needs to be taken with a big grain of salt.
Probably true. But what the market doesn't know isn't going to hurt it. Heck, even when they know they don't know what to do with the information. Besides, if Elon made public all the mistakes prior to learning from the mistakes, fixing them and showing the world what could be done; simply put your all-in wouldn't be worth a fraction what it is now. The market would have had a field day, dissecting every single itty, bitty, mistake while ignoring all that Tesla has done. Or if you'd rather, Elon is protecting your investment by not disclosing that he had to send his PA down to Frye's for USB cords because his supplier flaked on him.
