i’m getting tired of that nonsense clogging up the thread.

Please remember that the Annual Meeting is almost always a nothingburger. I can't remember there ever being an unexpected announcement at one.
It's troubling people feel the need to criticize others for their choice of investment strategies. I think "mild criticism" may very well be the understatement of the century. Come on, just admit you have a bone to pick, either financial or personal, and move along.Did I say no demand? Don’t make ridiculous straw man arguments.
The disaster that was Q1 and the follow up messaging about robo taxi, plus email last week, mixed with China issues led to this.
It’s troubling people react so strongly to mild criticism of the company even after one of its worst quarters ever.
Yes. However, the company hasn’t come out to clarify. And that is a red flag to Wall Street. Another red flag is that TSLA acquired a cash burning business, Maxwell, without explanation on how it will stop Maxwell from bleeding cash, and how Tesla will benefit. Wall Street isn’t going to watch Hyperchange videos on YouTube to find out why Tesla MIGHT have bought them, they want to hear from the source.

I think Tesla (and us, shareholders) are underestimating how the FUD around the company is scaring potential buyers.
Every one I know (I = a 33+ French guy who doesn't need a car but would otherwise purchased a Model 3 LR with cash) thinks Tesla is doomed and wait for all their neighbors to get one before they can buy one for themselves (this applies to my brothers and sisters, parents, uncles and cousins, friends and colleagues, really!). I did rent a Model S several times just for fun and to let my friends and family get the experience. I did a test drive of the Model 3 with some car enthusiasts friends. They did love it, but the FUD is really too strong for the common Jean. French/European ended up being far more risk averse than I thought.
IMO, Tesla cannot Cross the Chasm with so such a level of FUD in the media – at least in France, but I guess it's the same in other large European countries, and probably in China. The strong sales in the US might be a good testament to how failure-friendly American can be, but becoming a big auto manufacturer requires to convince the "non-beta" users that the company is not a startup anymore.
Musk would have gained a lot with a "serious" public figure for the company like Erich Schmidt was for Larry Page / Sergey Brin (not the products / vision / fun, just the boring, financial stuff).
I don't know about "execution". It was always an unknown as to what the demand would be for a profitably priced model 3. I don't know what Tesla could have done to make a better $50K EV.
We still don't know model 3 demand. We will find out a lot over the next 18 months.
The shorts made him write that email to employees. It was all the shorts fault.
But seriously, what was the point of that email? What other company has a CEO who announces that they have 10 months to live unless they reduce employee expenses? Seriously? Why?
Obviously he is doing this on purpose. Someone is building a monstrous position in the background. When over 100% of the company is owned by Saudi’s, it will trigger a 2008 VW like squeeze.
#bagholderquotes :/
no objection there ;-)Tesla is using a servicing company (State National) to handle the logistics.
Markel Subsidiary State National to Provide Fronting for Tesla's New Insurance Venture
Relatively strong intraday price action.
I hope we all come out of this as better human beings and go on to achieve great heights....
If it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger.
Looks like it could hit $200 sometime before EOD on Friday. No positive evidence of improvements at Tesla and continued macro weakness on trade concerns. No need to buy on today’s drop.
I want to see a proper technical bottom. Not a bargain buying permalongs bottom.New model S and X deliveries appear scarce .
Delivery forum does not indicate otherwise.
I need to see deliveries in decent volume before buying more shares.
I'm surprised to hear that honestly. I never get that when talking to potential buyers. Maybe it depends on how plugged in they are to social media?I think Tesla (and us, shareholders) are underestimating how the FUD around the company is scaring potential buyers.

haven't read most of TMC posts lately... was the misinformed notion that -Elon wrote that Tesla had 10 months to live unless employees reduce expenses- not thoroughly debunked?
Fair point. Can you imagine Elon obsessed with state by state regulatory approval and policies for the insurance business? I can't.
He has been meeting with the auto pilot team weekly for at least 3 years how much more can he get involved really?
demoing FSD to just the analysts was a mistake. One goes off and calls it sci-fi.
It would have been better if it demoed it to general public.
I think they can and should
