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

[jerry33]

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?

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

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

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.

Changes? KIA passed BMW and Mini passed Buick.

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.

I would phrase that as there is a proven demand for functional EVs that can be used as your primary car, rather than a second car. Right now, that's Tesla, and it will likely stay that way for some time.

We now go live to BMW's market outlook:

(Yes, that's a burning BMW being put out by sewage )

 

[capster]

Could have been an intentional setup.

Erm, that was my point — "Step into my parlor said the Elon to the Ford."

I was surprised Ford took the bait. Not surprised they backed out after giving some actual thought to the likely outcome of a public torque throw down.

Ford CEO probably told their VP "Shut up. Elon Musk is a rocket scientist. You are asking for trouble. Gasoline engine can not match electric motor's insane torque."
