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

[T@oo]

Ordinary people already thought Elon is nuts. Now they know for sure.

Looks terrible from the side. Better from this angle. View attachment 479772

It's all angles, what are you talking about?

I will have to get used to the design. I suspect many have to.

The presentation was suboptimal, to say it mildly. It felt as if it wasn't rehearsed. And I had the idea Elon skipped some things, like the functionalities.

 

[Boomer19]

the presentation was cut off for me early, right as he was explaining the atv was charging
in back of truck.

was it only me??

thoughts, we knew design was going to be envelope pushing.

the specs are sick.

if they had production bandwidth to do a mass market pickup, then it would have been a different presentation.

the stock will suffer a temporary glitch because that’s the narrative that will be pushed by street.

but in end, they are clicking on most, not all, cylinders (no pun)

so we should be rewarded for hanging in, and may get a shot at buying some cheaper shares/calls for the next 8-12 months

 

[TheTalkingMule]

Why sell the cheap one first? Aren't margins better on the $70k version.

 

[StealthP3D]

Well, I don't know what to say at all. Elon was, as usual, awkward as hell. Someone should have tested the glass. And the design straddles the line between both boring and absurd. But the specs pretty solid. I'm not sold at all, and I suspect the Street will share that view.

I thought Musk was at his absolute best in terms of delivery! But I'm thinking we've been punked on the truck! The specs are awesome (and the pricing too good to believe). But this is not the truck we will get. I'm kinda mad at Musk for this.

 

[wipster]

They need better "transparent aluminum"

Where's Scotty when you need him?

 

[Todd Burch]

The sad thing is that everyone will focus on the glass breaking, and forget that the sledgehammer did no damage, and that on every other car that isn’t bulletproof, the ball would have gone thru the window, seriously injuring the driver..

 

[Pezpunk]

Do we think the tri-motor S and X coming soon will also be 500+ miles? That would be something.

that's probably conservative. possibly close to 600 miles. that and the ATV are the only positives i am taking away from this event. the design of the truck is hideous, and the shattered glass was as big a fail as humanly possible, short of that ugly-ass thing catching fire and burning to the ground on stage. the price and specs are great. nobody is going to care.

 

[Chocochip]

They really took this minimalism thing to its extreme...

 

[heltok]

I have no reason to own a truck, but I want it so badly. Hopefully when it’s ready to ship to Europe I will have found a reason to buy it!

 

[mblakele]

I wonder if this new three-tier market segmentation presages similar options for S3XY? At each price level you get more range and more power. Add FSD to any level. Kind of reminds me of Apple's old "good, better, best" system.

• Good (SR): $40k single-motor ~250-mi
• Better (LR AWD): $50k dual-motor ~300-mi
• Best (P): $70k plaid ~500-mi

 

[EVDRVN]

This is a design that no one has seen, but it will grow on you.
@39K it will outsell M3 and MY .....

Model Y page crashes from all the people ordering now after seeing this.

 

[davecolene0606]

Stunned....

Order accepted...

500+ mile range in 2022 says volumes re battery tech.

Elon delivered on the promise, absolutely polarizing style but bad to the bone, er uh exoskeleton.

Fire Away!

 

[EVNow]

It's certainly different, I'll give him that

My kids like it. They want it now.

 

[Chunky Jr.]

If they had similar specs with a more traditional look, it would be a monster hit. I'm sure that is coming soon. Not my cup of tea, but I think it is good that they are taking a chance with an unconventional design

 

[thait84]

I think the stock will go down but I love the truck. I'd get the short range just for random things around town like going to home depot.

Wish we could get an interior shot.

 

[kbeckley]

Crazy looking truck. What I cared about is the spec for the battery vs price and that was impressive. Clearly to me they banking a lot on some serious battery sizes they can produce at reasonable cost because the roaster II, semi and the truck all depend on it. You need a lot of kWh to move that truck 800km.
