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

[lklundin]

EDIT: Thanks to mongo I've learned that this is a shortened version of a video from 2018 MAR 08.

Electrek - this morning: Watch Tesla Semi electric truck accelerate on highway ramp unlike any other truck

Looks like a great case for Tesla's auto pilot, since the poster and also the Volt driver in front missed the sequence of lights that went from green over yellow to red.

And... there plunges TSLA, for some reason or another....

ED: Consumer Reports talking about "reliability concerns".

ED2: Tesla Model 3 Loses CR Recommendation Over Reliability Issues

"Tesla Model 3 Loses CR Recommendation Over Reliability Issues
Owners report problems with paint, trim, and electronics in Consumer Reports' survey"

That was a huge plunge. Do we have any news?

Never mind, the model 3 lost consumer report recommendation. Ah well. See you later CR

Nice. Definitely lots of detail into CA sales


Looking at the top selling models in each segment, Tesla still has plenty of opportunity in the compact, and midsize car market.

Also in the pickup category, full size and compact/midsize;
The compact pickup doesn't really exist in the US anymore. I think they all got upsized since around 2008, so I would think there is an opportunity there. It might be something Tesla could look at.

And of course the SUV category is wide open for Tesla, with the compact SUV being the largest.

I wonder if some of this is influenced by the fact that honda and Toyota are the two largest domestic producers in the state of CA.

Paired together with Chrysler! Unreal!

“Consumers expect their cars to last and not be in the repair shop. That’s why reliability is so important,” Consumer Reports’ senior director of automotive testing Jake Fisher said in a statement.

Honestly this smell of a coordinated hit peice. Who would sell the stock over this.

Tesla shares fall after Consumer Reports yanks its reliability ranking

Shorts, Day traders.

 

[Cherry Wine]

Lol what a ridiculous plunge.

To put things into context, based on the results of the Model 3 Owners Survey, the "phantom click" issue that CR describes only applied to a single batch of screens from spring of 2018. All of the issues were constrained to deliveries from a very specific period in time. But of course, when you simply mix together a whole year's worth of issues...

 

[gtrplyr1]

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... consumer reports should stick to evaluating vacuum cleaners.

Buying opportunity ....

Cheers to the longs .

Classic Wall Street games. This thing will stair step down back to $250-$280 before it catipults. Tutes really want to load up down there. Just noise for long term investors, but opportunities for traders

A Tesla spokesperson said, "The vast majority of these issues have already been corrected through design and manufacturing improvements."

How many people really complete the CR survey … I want to know their numbers. Also its a self selected, non random ("not scientific") survey.

As a supporter of the EV revolution, as well as an inhabitant of Planet Earth, I am seriously worried. I was excited about VWs apparent commitment to a full-on transition to EVs, so this type of setback is not good. It is in fact not good for Tesla either, as less (or delayed) competition might make them feel complacent in terms of persistently bringing costs down and improving their offering.

Lol. If you think Tesla will ever become complacent with Elon in charge, you need to do more homework on how he has run Tesla and SpaceX since they were founded.

 

[tivoboy]

While there is indeed a lot of truth in the CR report the lack on any qualifying information makes it pretty close to a quasi FUD. Overall this point isn’t going to be the one to lower the stock too much. Practically NOBODY is deciding to buy or not but the model 3 based on anything CR reports.

 

[ZsoZso]

OK, where is the reverse gear in this truck ? Gotta back it up...

 

[Drax7]

Attacking every Elon word and the cars throughout the ramp
With bogus distortions . Relentless attempt to undermine them.
