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

[Thekiwi]

It appears Jim Cramer has turned into a Tesla Bull - but I’m not sure if serious.

Here's why CT is the best place to drive:

The Rivian looks like it belongs on the lot at Ed's Used Cars.

Contrary to the glass breaking on the CT, this is something where I feel like Elon could potentially have been pulling one over on someone. With the F150 clearly being 2WD going against the DM AWD CT, I can't help but feel like Elon was just waiting for Ford to do something like this.

How do we know if it was the AWD CT? A.. And whether a mismatch of this sort in the media would adversely affect SP push to $4000?

Changes? KIA passed BMW and Mini passed Buick.

Yes, Ford! This is what it’s all about. Competition, product tech vs product tech, who’s is better. No fluff. No smoke and mirrors required. Just good old fashion head to head. Who needs Ford v. Ferrari when you got Ford v. Tesla in real life?

At the end of the day the consumer wins. Nothing better than that.

They only made one prototype, and I believe it was mentioned. By the volume in the first hour, it's sure that someone was running scared.

Now Neil joined F
Neil deGrasse Tyson on Twitter

Do we know if it was RWD on both sides?
I believe rides were given in AWD CT.

Seems Tesla needs to repeat this with AWD ford to be fair.

Ford challenges Tesla to an apples-to-apples truck tug of war

Doh! Unforced error on Ford’s part.

I was just wondering this morning if Ford would do this and I thought "No, that would be dumb."

I swear Jim Cramer is just trolling the shorties today on twitter. Genuine or not, it's hilarious. Also his wife is getting a Model X.

Is three dimensional poker a thing? LOL

 

[powertoold]

Ford can easily win by gaming their gears. Doesn't matter if the Ford can beat CT at 0mph.

Could have been an intentional setup.

Ford is not doing it, motor1.com does.

Huh? Sunny is a VP at Ford. When he says send "us," he means send a CT to Ford.

Of course Tesla would never send them the truck. If a third party does the test Ford won't be able to game it. Elon has thrown the gauntlet. Now if Ford balks they look like fools. *grabs popcorn*

Ford Employee Challenges Tesla Cybertruck To Tug-Of-War Rematch

A tweet from Sundeep Madra, vice president of Ford X, appeared to challenge Tesla to a rematch. However, a senior Ford spokesperson told Motor1.com that Madra’s tweet was “tongue-in-cheek” and meant to point out the absurdity of Tesla’s tow video.

I read it as the guy calling for a rematch was not senior enough.

Thanks for posting this. This is very impressive considering there is no Model Y yet. Tesla has a potential to reach 10% market share (which it already did for the car segment).

I'm proud of Electrek for taking Toyota to task at the LA Auto Show and publishing an excerpt of the interview afterward. Interesting read.

https://electrek.co/2019/11/25/inte...arketing-chief-says-theres-no-demand-for-evs/

I propose Toyota may want to name their first full EV the "Ostrich" -- if it ever comes out, that is.

It has yet to be proven that there Is demand for EV’s. There is proven demand for Tesla’s.
