Whenever you use Google to find something such as the above news story, Google will not merely
give you the link. Rather, they give you a redirect via their own server, so they can track whether
you and also anyone you gave that link to, decided to follow it. While Google will surely argue that
this allows them to improve your searching experience, the old adage still holds:
If it's free then you are the product.
So personally, I don't post links via trackers like Google (or Apple), and I also don't follow them.
Here is the link directly from the news media that brought it:
Elon Musk Told Workers They're More Likely To Die In A Car Crash Than From Coronavirus
Btw, it's clearly written to put Elon Musk in a bad light.
This is really confusing time for Tesla investors, just don’t know who to believe, I just checked Tesla website for Model 3 delivery in New Jersey, 8-12 weeks !, world is going upside down due to virus , is order rate is still this high even when worldwide economy under stress ?, I reduced my position in stock recently but I may have to get in soon , FOMO.
Focus on the company and their execution, investing becomes a whole lot easier when you stop worrying about (or celebrating) the share price. It is at wherever it's at. Always focus on the company and its current execution.
I guess one way to fix that is to close the stock market until this is over.There is no way the Dow nor the U.S. economy as a whole can hold up with hundreds of millions of people sequestered at home, countless businesses closed, and so many segments of economic life impacted (travel, lodging, restaurants, retail, malls, cinemas, stadium/arena sports/concerts... the list is endless). I now fully expect the Dow to revisit 15000 to 17000 in the next 60 days. And TSLA to be pulled down a proportional amount.
I happen to be a "fair weather cyclist"; I usually only cycle for exercise and for pleasure when conditions are clear, as cycling isn't my only form of exercise. It's important for everyone to be comfortable with their investments. This forum is more valuable when people feel free to share their honest opinions, concerns, etc. My wife and I happen to be comfortable with TSLA as a large fraction of our portfolio, but not everyone's situation and/or temperament is the right fit for a large concentration in a single growth stock, etc.We have a nice word here for people who ride their bikes only on Sunday with clear sky and warm temperatures. It called “Schönwetterfahrer”. A lot of people here seems to be Schönwetterfahrer on TSLA. Makes me sad and angry.
The SUV category is often considered to encompass crossovers (CUVs) as well as larger, traditional, truck-based SUVs. To be as precise as possible, the Model Y would be considered a CUV (crossover utility vehicle) because it is car-based and not super large, but it's still okay to call it an SUV.The Model Y clearly differs from the 3 in that it has an Off-road Assist mode (owner's manual, p. 72), but I am wondering is it more correct to describe it as a SUV or as a CUV?
Perhaps, but I certainly wouldn't count on it. The stock market is forward looking by nature. I think the market has already priced in a substantial amount of economic dislocation. However, to the extent that investors are underestimating this crisis or failing to anticipate the full fallout, the market is likely to drop.There is no way the Dow nor the U.S. economy as a whole can hold up with hundreds of millions of people sequestered at home, countless businesses closed, and so many segments of economic life impacted (travel, lodging, restaurants, retail, malls, cinemas, stadium/arena sports/concerts... the list is endless).

It can't be because world events are currently overshadowing a product launch from the car company? Come on. Tesla isn't trying to sell anything right now because if they have to close Fremont temporarily they won't be having any cars to sell. It's fairly obvious that Tesla is already quietly preparing measures to deal with an ongoing black swan event that no one is allowed to talk about in this thread.This is the most low-keyed start of production of a vehicle I have ever seen. It's almost like Tesla is STILL trying not to sell the Model Y. There must be more demand than even most of us even realize. Obviously, they don't want to attract any more Model Y buyers at this point.
And yes, that's a good thing.
It could happen.
It makes total sense to me and this is what I love about Elon. He really understands that the "obvious" solution is not always the best solution and the world is an intricate place where every action has a reaction.
Not only can they sell every Model Y they can make (without advertising or hullabaloo) but this "stealth" roll-out can end up having more impact at a later date when it matters more. Maybe after the Coronavirus thing is not front and center in the news.
Also, production ramps take time. If it's highly publicized now the articles have the opportunity to cast doubt upon the speed of ramp while repeating the endless negativity about the speed of previous ramps. A "stealth" ramp-up sets up the narrative to be "Wow! Look how fast they ramped and how many they are already shipping". Had they made a big deal about the first deliveries the story would have lost its impact by the time they got to volume deliveries. This way it will seem almost instantaneous which will be a surprising improvement over previous ramps.
This is the handiwork of a person who understands the intricacies of how the world actually works. Probably because Elon has read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Sun Tzu said:
Open confrontation will trigger
over-powering resistance. Thus the key
to victory is the ability to use surprise tactics.
Frankly, it's messed with my view on the company, how I track it now, and my overall thesis on Tesla. Provides a lot of concern. Currently, I'm looking at fundamentals of what might be the basics of their balance sheet heading into Q1/2020 earnings; hoping for the best.
Since the last earnings call I'm under the impression that Tesla is going to be running much more of a 'stealth operation' going forward, and that there'll be a lot less information about the state of the business flowing out to the public. To me it's felt like they're sharing less detailed information and forecasts than they used to 1-2 years ago, and it seems like this could be part of their new under-promise and over-deliver strategy.
I've been following this pretty closely, and it seems like deliveries are slower this weekend than expected, feels like less than 10 Ys have been delivered to normal customers so far. Although I don't have the numbers to back it up.
Not worrying about the current share price is great advice for those that have no near term need to sell. Remember though there are many different types of people here. Some people have emergencies, may be withdrawing monthly because they’re in retirement, may be selling to buy a home, or a Model Y.
There are many here in many different situations and not all are in positions like you and I are to have no near term need to sell. For those people (as well as you and me someday in the future), the stock price is very important.
