Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
Design is a mix of function (specifications), cost and aesthetics.
Sometimes function and cost lead to compromises on aesthetics.
We need to see the Highland Model 3s on the road and in a range of different colors. and we need to understand the gains in function and the reductions in cost.
In future there may be an opportunity to improve the aesthetics while delivering the same specs for the same price.
World population is 8B people. Number of humans on Twitter is 250M (excluding bots and such). That’s like 3% of the world. Even if we want to be generous and say there are 400M people on Twitter, that’s still just 5% of the world. Twitter is an extremely niche social network…it’s not like Facebook or Instagram which have multi billion users that comprehend almost a 3rd of the world.
Yes. He has been extremely accurate. In Q4’22 if I remember correctly, he missed by just one cent!!!
Was wondering why the 3 did not get the molded sub frames. It took two years to get to this point. The whole car had to be reengineered.
Keep in mind that often Tesla only needs to post to one social media platform,, others will link to that post on other social media platforms, journalists analysts will write about it, etc.
Very little preparation and planning is needed, often the post is a single photo or a short video with a few words.
What matters in the end is what percentage of potential Tesla buyers see the information somewhere.
In terms of eventual reach per $ spent on marketing, this seems like a good ROI to me.
There is an art to making the right post, and Tesla is fairly good at doing that.

At peak, 3.3 million people were listening in the interview Elon did last night in Twitter Spaces.
In the USA, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data for February 2023, CNN averaged 587,000 total primetime viewers, No. 12 on basic cable, and 474,000 total day viewers, No. 5 on basic cable. The network also averaged 122,000 adults 25-54 in primetime.Feb 28, 2023
Fox counted an average of 1.4 million day viewers in 2022, representing a 3% increase compared to 2021, while MSNBC saw 733,000 and CNN had 568,000, which were both down 35% compared to the previous year. Dec 15, 2022
Legacy media is dying. It's all propaganda and each day more people are realizing that. Twitter's global reach may be small now but it is growing. If Tesla were to start advertising, and I'm not convinced that is right at this time, then it seems like Twitter may not be a bad place to do so. However, Elon Musk seems to be getting plenty of attention already, and that brings views to Tesla.

Tesla Wins Best Overall Luxury Brand From KBB! - CleanTechnica
For new electric vehicle buyers, Tesla Earns Best Overall Luxury Brand: KBB, For new electric vehicle buyers, more options are available now
cleantechnica.com
TLDR: “Tesla earned the title of Best Overall Luxury Brand from Kelley Blue Book in its most recent “Brand Image” analysis, landing the company the top spot in this category for the fourth year in a row. In addition to this title, the electric vehicle maker landed itself four other spots in the outlet’s Brand Image Awards, including Best Value Luxury Brand, Most Refined Luxury Brand, Best Performance Luxury Brand, and Best Overall EV Brand.”
That’s not how this works. Go talk to the people who are buying BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus or other premium automakers - very few of them use Twitter. Twitter is mostly geeks like us.

Model 3 highland just leaked!
Love the more sporty look
no wonder they were trying to hide this thing. It’s a more significant aesthetic change than I was anticipating!

I think this is underappreciated. The extent to which wall st analysts understand Tesla is comically bad. You only need to look at yahoo finance, CNN, the BBC, CNBC, and all the other mainstream coverage to see just how utterly, utterly clueless those reporters and the analysts they speak to really are...
...and thats when they are talking about CARS, something that even the most clueless 'reporter' understands.
Speak to most people about battery storage (and I do... a lot! too much!) and they still think you are talking either lead-acid, and think it leaks, or they think of their mobile hone battery, and expect it to need replacing in a year. The gulf between the reality and the perception is staggering. Nobody has ANY idea of why grids need utility level storage, or how intermittent the grid is, or why its a (big( problem.
I reckon its at least another 12 months before we see a mainstream news report (CNN/BBC etc) talk about Tesla as anything but a car company. And at that point the financials will be smacking them in the head so hard they will have concussion.
Good time to be a Tesla investor!
honest first impression is I I like my M3P more. Are there no fog lights? I hope this stays my impression once it comes out all nice and clean. Hopefully there’s no Plaid motor version or my hand will be forced!Model 3 highland just leaked!

I’m still in the camp of thinking this mayyy be the cheap car. Are they really going to introduce a cheaper model 3 and then introduce a car $5k or so cheaper than that?

As an ex boss used to tell me, don't use the word "cheap". Cost effective is better but hardly describes a smaller Tesla which will be better than the rest of the market. It will be much more than $5k more cost effective. Highland will allow current prices to be held at least for a few years.honest first impression is I I like my M3P more. Are there no fog lights?

Literally thought this as I typed out the word “cheap”.
You are correct of course.
Would have thought that all aspects of Troy's predictions had been discussed in this thread by now... sigh
Maybe we need a dedicated Troy thread. Or just ban all conversion regarding words/names starting with T in this thread. That should clean things up considerably.Would have thought that all aspects of Troy's predictions had been discussed in this thread by now... sigh
I don't see him buying anything (besides twitter). I see him selling though.
