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

[JRP3]

"We'll put rebuttals on one web page..." who's going to look for it there?

All of us, and then we'll spread it. Would help a lot, at basically zero cost.

 

[Yonki]

I'm a bit disappointed with the answer.

Me too, but...

"We'll put rebuttals on one web page..." who's going to look for it there?

All the people I meet who are misinformed will go there because I will send them the link (at least if the site is done well).

Loving the idea of a simple webpage that will have rebuttals to the common FUD, properly sourced to non-biased information sources will really save a lot of time for us in discussing these issues.

They can start with a page of statistics of how many car fires there are every day/year compared to Tesla vehicle fires.

 

[JRP3]

Rambling....

 

[Nocturnal]

This is and has been happening already for years, on a wide scale. Local news coverage doesn't happen (much).

Yup. I've been to 4 events myself so far and I've only been an owner since August. My local utility is starting to get on board too. (of course they are brand agnostic)

Not just for them, for US too. I don't have all the stats in my head, fires for example. I know it's rare, but I'd love a quick reference. ​

 

[JRP3]

Shut up, waste of time.

 

[StarFoxisDown!]

Yes it's a problem, but when almost every large media outlet is pushing out large amounts of FUD on a daily basis I think you'd need quite a large campaign to make a difference.

This...….Sure a webpage that Tesla continually updates to shoot down FUD would help and they definitely should do that. That wouldn't take much money. But you're talking about billions of dollars that Tesla's opponents(not Auto, I'm talking Fossil Fuels), can put into pushing as much FUD as they want. If Tesla spends a 1 million on advertising, they'll spend 10 million. If Tesla spends 10 million, they'll spend 1 billion. It's actually in their interest to get Tesla to put money into advertising rather than growing.

 

[Unpilot]

wow enough allready....

 

[Right_Said_Fred]

They seem to be at a loss about how to confront the FUD. Why not make a lot of cool videos that can be shared on Youtube or used by the media, for instance:

- About the safety of electric vehicles and Teslas in particular
- About it being the most American car
- About Autopilot being very safe and getting safer all the time
- About Tesla’s amazing growth
- About cool features like the fart app, games
- About sentry mode and how it protects the car (a bit more serious than cookie monster)
- About bio weapons defense mode, filtering out pollution, smoke, etc.
- About powerpack (plus solar panels) being extremely useful during blackouts and lowering the utilty bill.

Ehh, owners are the best way to combat this. Empowering us with some more facts will have a crazy high ROI.

"Jennifer Bear" of PETA. You can't make this stuff up.

Just look at that Sentry Video of the guys keying the Tesla. The news people had no idea what Sentry Mode was. I'm sure a nice youtube video would have helped them greatly. ​

 

[Twiddler]

India next year?? BFD IMO, also nice little confirmation that we are still production constrained, growth story intact.

 

[Zaxxon]

Absolutely. But it's not sufficient.

 

[Fact Checking]

I'll repeat: a large, large quantity of people think the company is doomed. That's a problem. Current approach doesn't change those folks' minds.

I'll repeat: a large, large quantity of people think global warming is not caused by humans. That's a problem. Current approach doesn't change those folks' minds.

Do you really think a few infomercials will be able to counter the powerful, targeted affinity fraud that was able to convince and polarize a lot of people?

I legit had a steak sandwich and two hamburgers about an hour ago and am gonna cook some more. Come get me PETA

 

[JRP3]

"We are selling more cars than we can make". Exactly what I've said before, advertising would make things worse.

Your arteries probably will first.

 

[MTL_HABS1909]

Anyone here claiming to buy Teslas because they care about climate change but then turn around and criticize the woman from PETA are complete hypocrites....

And put them all together in a big documentary. I can see it in my mind already - remember the "how it is made" with all the robots.
