Electric Vehicle Q3 Progress Over Q2 - All EVs
Where do the Tesla numbers come from. I didn’t think they published numbers. I would love to find these numbers for Canada. Canadian numbers seem to be a well guarded secret. I personally think they are 15 percent of production from the amount of reported deliveries happening. Impossible to confirm though.
Just checked out a diesel forum - people are hoping that the VW statement means new VW diesel models will be introduced in the US, although there's a lot of doubt that they will go that far.
Volkswagen exec reaffirms commitment to diesel: Now it is absolutely clean - TDIClubFForums
Typical quote: "When the elctric car thing bombs (there will be a surge of interest, since the whining Euro weenies and the looney idiots in the press tell everyone that they are the future) there MIGHT be a chance to buy another diesel from someone, maybe not VW though. Too bad, since after 50+ years of involvement, I have probably bought my last ever new VW (Q7 TDI)"
This makes me so much more appreciative of posts by the likes of Papafox, Fact Checking, and so many ON Topic others that we all take for granted - we've had some surprising good pages of great posts in the last few days.Yes. It is funny, that it is OK to talk about e.g. cat food on a Tesla market thread, but not about e.g. Tesla's service
When I came to this thread yesterdays TSLA was (among others of course) down 5-6%, but people were talking about cat food and hypermilling/ 1 pedal driving..
They're unofficial, but InsideEVs is generally very good at what it does. I made the mistake of doubting them in Q1. Shorts made the mistake of doubting them in Q2 (and many past quarters).
They don't officially track Canadian numbers, however.
Thank you Karen. Rumour has it ICBC has an end year tally of vehicles sold. Tough numbers to find though.
BTW, did you notice that the Supercharger network has started headed up to Saskatoon? It's not on Tesla's official plan map, but:

It's really, really obvious in what country Tesla's expansion focus is right now

That should be a pretty good proxy for where sales have been dramatically accelerating!
Definitely can confirm the boom in Teslas everywhere. I am in MA and have also seen a ton this summer. I have owned a Model S since 2015 and my once rather lonely stays at the charging stations have been replaced with almost full stations charging next to 3s, Xs and Ss. Good to see!
Reminds me of the rather basic investing philosophy of Peter Lynch - buy the companies you come across in daily life (assuming you also do some due diligence).
Electric Vehicle Q3 Progress Over Q2 - All EVs
Cue Anton "Class Action" Walhman headline: "Tesla under pressure as Fiat double their EV sales in the first month of Q3"
I'm buying again.The TSLA shorters are out in full force today. Helped by weak longs. No other way to desribe a 3% drop in a flat market on a day without Tesla news.
The bear narrative is definitely carrying the day.
All the more important that Musk's most recent communications to the market via Twitter bear fruit.
If Tesla doesn't raise prices on FSD Musk will lose even more credibility, and the inference will be that FSD, whatever that looks like, is even farther in the future.
the Q3 numbers have to reinforce Tesla's affirmation of total production guidance. If not the stock is going back to its former recent lows.
The FSD price increase is such nonsense. FSD is not compelling enough to discuss any price increases whatsoever. Completely boneheaded move by Elon. $7k for FSD in its current form is insane.
That's not certain, at all: chances are that if they kill Tesla they'll simply slow down the EV transition again, like they did in the last 10 years.
Best outcome for the "EV mission" would probably be the bankruptcy of at least one major ICE OEM:
... accelerating the transition to sustainable energy via creative destruction.
- pure EV makers would become the "safe" investment bets,
- it would also free up factory space, automotive workers and captured consumers (~99% of whom are still buying gascars),
- might disrupt the current negative media narrative about EVs,
- it might also make the current ICE and fossil fuel subsidies of more than $20,000 per new ICE car in the U.S. alone more risky politically.
This (unverified) tweet chain gives a good insight into the structural failures of the ICE industry I believe:
If those statements are true (which I believe they are) then many ICE OEMs are in a similar situation as Arianespace trying to compete with SpaceX: hopelessly outclassed, with only subsidies and inertia keeping them alive.
Not advice.
I don't disagree with you, but as far as stock price goes, and confidence in the CEO, it is about delivering on public comments. If that was Elon's way of somehow motivating the team to deliver it may wind up backfiring on him big time.
It's already happening here. Asheville Supercharger yesterday. Full with 7 M3's and my lowly MS.
