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

[X Fan]

I don’t get it. It’s not like the Chinese are tall people.

lol, Yao Ming says hello....

 

[Zhelko Dimic]

Fine, I'll drop it.
If that's "humour", let's just say that I don't get it. :Þ

Proper answer Karen is "Tenable, I apologize...".

"Fine, I'll drop it" implies as if you're doing us/him a favour, where it's quite obvious you were quick to judge and wrong.

Why do I have a feeling these isn't gonna endear me to you? Please show me I'm wrong, and have miss-judged you!
I'm known to be quick to judge too, perhaps you will take this critique in good spirit? If you answer this with 'Z, you're right', I'll have to answer with 'but I was wrong...'

Hello? Are you all done? Is it safe for Moderators to re-enter this thread now?

 

[EVNow]

That's because you are from Canada

Labor costs will be lower in China than either US or EU.

Labor cost is lower in Liberia.

Doesn't stop European and American manufacturing.

Your view of China Inc is what was popular in America about Japan Inc in the 80s. Way overblown.

 

[RobStark]

PPP is very problematic, subject to lots of biases.

besides, you don't buy Teslas with theoretical PPP dollars anyways.

Tesla doesn't care about how many dollars someone has before paying for basic necessities like housing,food, and utilities but how many dollars they have to spend on luxuries like premium cars.

The Chinese buy roughly the same number of BMW 3 Series as Europeans and it is not done with theoretical dollars, euros or yuan.

.....So the number of orders is about 16k.

M3 Delivery estimates:
December 2018 = 25250
January 2019 = 6,500

I didn't notice if anyone has pointed this out clearly yet but if 16K is estimated to Germany and 6500 this month to the US.... doesn't that total 22500 so far not including China and the rest of Europe?

The 16K may not all be delivered in January tho.

Nothing on new Tesla battery patents?

 

[KarenRei]

Proper answer Karen is "Tenable, I apologize...".

I hope I'm not disturbing your beating of this dead horse, but on the topic of "regrettable premature rushes to judgement", the words you were looking for from me were in the next post down:

"Tenable: If you're actually long, as your history suggests, then I do apologize."

But I'll duck out now and let you continue with that horse if you wish.

Oh my god, I just sent about 25 Tweets tonight debating completely moronic Tesla shorts and an LA times auto technology reporter.

These tools are completely dense. Literally, they act as if their IQs are in the mid-teens.

I feel dirty and ashamed that I wasted an hour of my life.

toddeburch if you want to look it up on Twitter.

Warning: I was not polite.

There’s a short that thinks Tesla is shipping Model 3s overseas and dumping them into the ocean. No joke

Ha. One guy is telling me that Tesla didn’t really get EU approval and they’re just lying.

These dudes need to start a comedy troupe.

 

[TradingInvest]

Who owned them?

I guess those who have been trolling everywhere.

That used to be called black humor. I had lunch with John Lily and his wife after he spoke on our campus. Our host, chair of the cultural programs committee, was an expert on black humor. My SO at the time was one of the early black reporters hired by the Sacramento Bee who saved the day, according to Lily's wife, when I asked our host if his subject matter was racist. Don't remember her reason for answering, "No."

I was into split-brain research at the time. When asked about it Lily drew on the paper table-cloth simultaneously his name with one hand and with the other a mirror image. I was amazed. In class the next day I showed this on the blackboard and amazingly could also repeat the performance. (But I cheated by writing "John" with one hand while the other wrote the mirror image. Maybe it only works for that word.)

Altogether now, try it! Hint: Start at the middle and work outward. Must be the weekend, babble, babble.

Yes but the joke is on him

Typical Chinese family have two generations live together or close by. Senior members would usually be driven by younger members, and rear seat leg room is very important because of that.

Exactly. For young generations, most family has only one car. And their parent generation, most don't own cars at all. We are talking about leg room because the car is often used as family car to carry 4-5 people (couple in the front, parent and kid in the back), not because chauffeur car.

Tesla are revising their website right now.

Some new polish... quite nice. Used Inventory section is non-functional at present

Oh God, I’m still Tweeting. What is wrong with me?

And I’m usually the FIRST to say that social media is a trash dump of society, and you can’t fix stupid.

Now I’m one of them. (The trash dump that is—not the stupid).

I’m going to eat some chocolate ice cream and cry now.

I don’t get it. It’s not like the Chinese are tall people.

Anecdotal evidence from the chinese i met travelling. Rich 2nd gen kids are pretty tall. 6'1 and above for males. 5'10 for women.

They'll be the ones buying teslas.

Of course, someone is refute this by posting datas of average chinese height that includes malnourished rural population.

Since Shaquille O’Neal fits in a Buick sedan, can we just all agree that size doesn’t matter?

(Yes, Michael Scott, that IS what she said).
