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

[Nocturnal]

Not true, I for one am retiring as Teslanaire.

I was all set back in November to heavily trim and go defensive to finally pull that plug. But I just had to decide to keep working another year so I could justify a roadster. Why wasn't I able to tell the future? facepalm.jpg

You're not alone. I don't like the conspiratorial feel to his tweets. He seems off-balance to me.

Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you

Our very own Tesla Facts debating Elon. What a strange simulation we find ourselves in. Hope Elon doesn't get 5 pinocchio's !!

Not the first time those two had a debate.

That doesn't sound like a battery fire. Those don't extinguish quickly.

Sounds more like a Molotov Cocktail

Yea, this. Look at the height of the fire on the top glass. There's no accelerant on the glass to cause that. Talk about suspicious...

I feel more confident retiring while Tesla's price is bottoming out than when it is near an ATH. But ultimately, the timing of my decision had more to do with personal and professional issues than the stock market or Tesla.

We'll ride out this bear and be flying high next year.

Super weird. While I am not an automotive engineer, it looks like the battery is nowhere near where the fire is coming from.

Pic looked like someone poured gasoline and lit it on fire.

Except the report said that the fire started inside the car. The owner said he saw smoke, opened the back door, and then lots of flames. All seems rather odd.

Of course it's not as though reports are ever very clear or accurate.

100%. If I was still close to my number I'd feel the most comfortable doing it now. Doing it at ATH seemed risky and obv it would have been.

Any legal eagles who can clarify the difference between Tesla's legal team and this litigation department?

Are they going to practice constitutional law or something more Tesla related like fight the dealership laws. I hope it's the latter.

Offense and defense?

Yeah, and he said he opened the door and the car seat was the first thing that melted, burned?, so that makes me think that something inside the car started the fire. It seems most likely that someone set it on fire.

Break window, toss in accelerant (which the fire on the roof really looks like), alarm goes off and driver rushes over to open the door and finds it on fire.

Yea I don't buy what that owner is selling. The fire was put out quickly... ah ok. If it started from the battery, more of the structure would have melted and it certainly wouldn't have been quick to put out. Also judging from the pic, the floor looks incredibly intact.

Stuff Elon shouldnt even be wading into.

Worse thing is that even if the investigation found no fault with Tesla/Batteries, the name still won't clear because it is out of the news cycle.

PS Glad the new litigation team is in for this dark period

But the owner said the fire was there when he opened the back door... wonder what was on the graduation supplies?

Now we know Elon's gone crazy - he's arguing with himself on Twitter.

I am no rocket scientist but i remember learning that if there is a fire, the first thing you do is not open any door.

If the fire did start inside the car, how do we explain the whole surface of the glass roof burning? That was doused in Gasoline with some poured in through the open rear window for good measure is my guess.
