Back up the truck. LOL on your own island in 10 years.
Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
Sit on our shares and get slowly rich?
People pay too much attention to FUD.
Short term it can move the market, so that is a risk....
Regardless of its merits the fact that the JD Power report can move the market more than the leaks on Roadrunner just shows most people are not focused on what is important.
I don't think Tesla QA is a big issue relative the the amount of innovation and rapid progress they are making.... Tesla needs to be better at after sales service, and customer service in general..
But Roadrunner should increase margins, Model Y should increase market share, with higher margins and more market share, Tesla can throw more resources at QA and service... A lot of the problem is simply resourcing, the rest is staff training and perhaps organisation.
What Tesla should do is, hire a good communicator, give then the task of fixing customer service with adequate resources, give customers a way of escalating where the problem goes straight to the top... not Elon, the new hire.. the buck stops with him/her.. and good performance should be rewarded, good performance is happier customers. As customers we would like this, but as shareholders it is equally important, it is the final hurdle..
To be 100% clear I don't think the right service culture costs that much more and as a marketing tool it is very effective. A happy customer is a return customer who tells their friends and relatives how great Tesla service is.

My suggestion:
We as a community solicit donations for a full page ad in the New Times, or similar national publication, challenging the claims made by JD Powers.
Furthermore, we question the motives for the JD powers article, and the legitimacy of their organization.
Finally, we ask the owners of Tesla vehicles to sign our challenge.
You can’t fight all media, but you can single one out. I for one, would like to push back against FUD. Hard.
The truth is an awesome weapon.

Mmmm, that garage is nice. Looks like you might need to trim that tree though.

A full page black & white New York Times ad cost $150k plus.
I have been on a few boards where someone suggest that.
Gofundme or some such has never raised more than $3k.
Given TSLA positions here this might go higher but not anywhere near $150k.
Congrats. Which one spends the night outside?

The S for now, can’t bring myself to part with her just yet.
Love the cars but if I had put that cash into a few more shares...

In March Tesla built and delivered its one millionth car. I’m suggesting that the pool of potential contributors may have grown. The number of folks who know the truth has increased exponentially.
Best way to fight back is to sit and watch their narrative explode into billion pieces of pain as Tesla make surprise profit quarter after quarter. Without FUD we wouldn't have short covering rallies.

Articles from Tesla owners and shareholders that state the truth, point to the future, and discredit the self-serving analysts and FUDsters. We could possibly get some of the free services to pick up the articles and if we get noticed they could get picked up by the bigger services. Or, we could start with a local interest story of a tesla owner and shareholder - again maybe getting picked up by a larger service. More of a long shot, but a cheaper alternative.

Doesn’t seem like there’s a demand issue to me

What is this? Did Tesla give internal numbers to investors or just note Street concensus?

If you read some of the interesting items that follow the referenced tweet, there are some great points about Tesla’s continuing success. Social media is certainly another powerful way to get the word out.
Pretty sure Ross is confusing the street consensus with Tesla's actual quarterly numbers that come out in a week or he's completely talking out of his a**. Tesla has never given delivery consesnsus to anyone, including insiders before the Quarterly P/D report.
It's the wall street consensus that gets sent out every quarter a week or two before the P&D
This was for Q1

I truly appreciate the sentiment but I think the best strategy is to ignore the FUD. Short term they may catch attention. Long term they lose all credibility. We should continue to speak the truth about our individual experiences with Tesla. This word of mouth advertising is more powerful than any media campaign. Well, that's my 2 cents.
