Probably. I sometimes make plans to sell but then end up holding. For some reason I'm better at buying than I am selling.So this increasingly hypothetical 'someone' would not be us, right?
Cheers to the Longs!

Ford cutting F-150 Lightning factory shift is 'emblematic' of changing EV demand
UAW claims 'sales for the Lightning have tanked'
Ford cutting F-150 Lightning factory shift is 'emblematic' of changing EV demand - Autoblog
Ford confirmed that it has temporarily cut a shift at its F-150 Lightning electric pickup plant in Detroit, possibly signaling demand is drying up for the highly rated EV.www.autoblog.com
Will the market at large move to EVs? That is the question. How bad will the resistance be? Ford is apparently starting to see it or there warmed over F150 with batteries is not compelling enough.

What will that old guy do with all the pin-striping decals and undercoating he stocked up on to oversell people?I suspect this one actually belongs in forum "demise of the OEM's" (it's not fair, tesla is vertically integrated, if only we could go back in time)
It's just me or it's the first time in a long while that we have good question at the top?
Great post on X on Elon’s answers to the most-voted questions on the ER on Say — I must say, spot on likely true that we’ll just get a bunch of waffling non-answers
Here are the answers Elon will give us:
How many Cybertruck deliveries do you anticipate for 2024?
--> "For the Cybertruck deliveries in 2024, we're aiming to make significant progress. It's a unique vehicle and there's been a lot of interest. However, ramping up production is always a challenge, so while we're optimistic, I can't give a precise number right now."
When do you expect model 3 Highland to be available in US?
--> "The Model 3 Highland is something we're excited about. We're working hard to get it to the US market as soon as possible. It's always about getting the details right to ensure quality. Bear with us as we finalize the timeline."
Can you provide a progress update on the 4680 Cell? Particularly progress towards performance improvements and cost savings outlined on battery day.
--> "The 4680 Cell is a significant advancement for us. We're seeing good progress on performance improvements and cost efficiencies. Remember, it's not just about the cell, but about integrating it into our vehicles and ensuring longevity and safety. We're on track with what we've presented on battery day."
Could you please provide an update on (i) capacity expansion plans for the company's factories in Berlin and Austin and (ii) the opening schedule of Gigafactory Mexico?
--> "Berlin and Austin are both moving at a good pace. We're pushing the boundaries in both locations. As for Gigafactory Mexico, we're in the early stages, but we're excited about the potential there. We'll keep everyone updated as things progress."
Why was the price dropped on FSD if it is getting better and robotaxi is expected so soon?
--> "Improving technology and scaling often allows for cost reductions. The price drop for FSD is reflective of our commitment to make autonomous driving more accessible. The goal is to get as many people as possible using it safely."
Mercedes is accepting legal liability for when its Level 3 autonomous driving system, Drive Pilot, is active. Is Tesla planning to accept legal liability for FSD, and if so, when?
--> "Safety is our top priority with FSD. We're constantly refining and improving the system. As for liability, we believe in our product, but we'll have to see how regulations evolve and make decisions accordingly."
Current sell side consensus assumes that Tesla will deliver ~2.3 million vehicles in 2024, representing 28% growth vs. 2023 guidance. Is this growth rate achievable without any mass-market launches in 2024, and when does Tesla expect to return to its 50% long-term CAGR?
--> "We're always pushing the envelope, and while I won't confirm or deny that specific number, we're confident in our growth trajectory. As for the 50% CAGR, it's a goal, but there are many variables in play. We'll keep driving innovation and pushing boundaries."

they allude in the article to what many call "range anxiety" then fairly quickly point out, hey, everybody is going to NACSWhat will that old guy do with all the pin-striping decals and undercoating he bought to oversell people?

If you order now, you probably have to wait at least 3 years.Why would anyone buy an F150 Lightning at this moment?
Cybertruck is coming. NACS is coming. And the second generation electric F-150 is coming. I think potential Lightning buyers are waiting to see how things shake out.
This article (https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/16/business/ford-f150-lightning-layoffs/index.html) blames both supplier and own workforce for quality issues, and the dropping of the third shift is to get their act together. It does not blame weakened demand. Personally, I would believe the CNN article in this case over Autoblog, which hates EVs.Ford cutting F-150 Lightning factory shift is 'emblematic' of changing EV demand

I wonder if you can flat tow that behind a RV?You can now buy a ulta-compact Smart car with 186 miles range for less than $40,000. And it's a Pro model. There's never been a better time to buy an EV.
Smart introduces LFP-powered 'Pro' model of its #1 compact crossover, priced under $40,000
Following the launch of its all-electric compact crossover called the #1, smart has introduced a new lower priced base model...electrek.co
Wow, while Elon was distracted with Twitter Toyota just leapfrogged Tesla with new game-changing technology.

Has anyone seen the current Honda ads? Shows a series of CGI vehicles, including a rendering of the upcoming car they are licensing from Chevy. In the small print it says ‘imaginary vehicles shown throughout’ and it also shows a VTOL and some guy playing with a toy moon station.What, again? That must be I believe the 10th leapfrog in the last 5 years. Very impressive indeed.
