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

[Kenypowa]

Next Giga announcement possibly next month? Damn!

This is the best news so far today.

 

[Todd Burch]

Texas comment was meant as middle finger to Alameda county official IMO

Yep, that's how I read it. It was basically a "let me operate or I'll take my business elsewhere."

 

[MartinAustin]

MMM HMMMM.... Battery day in Texas at the site of the next Giga.

"Depending on what we are allowed to do" from earlier, means... assuming Texas gets the deal done and has opened up their economy appropriately

 

[Cherry Wine]

This is the greatest call I’ve ever heard

Agreed. Helped immensely by the question quality.

CNBC - hour ago:

 

[graphilwar]

Texas Gigafactory secured!!!!

 

[Romand]

$900+ tomorrow?

 

[Chocochip]

The hints keep dropping in this call... TeraFactory?

 

[LJS22]

TeraTexas?

 

[Sudre]

battery day in Texas? Wtf

That sounded to me like, a threat to Cali, 'Open our factory or we move to Texas.'
There is no reason they can't have Battery Day in a part of Cali that is open. So to me it has meaning. I could be totally off base.

Is it just me, or is particularly hard to listen to Elon today? I've listened to him for years, and maybe I'm getting Elon fatigue, but he can't get a sentence out without stuttering, interrupting himself or saying some bromide we've heard 10 times before like the "People would rather go to the dentist than going to a regular car dealer".

It's just Elon, he's always been that way for as long as I can remember.

For those on the forum with long term experience with TSLA, I would love hear your perspective on this Twitter controversy. I'm hoping to look at the bigger picture above the noise and passion of the moment.

I know he has tweeted controversial things in the past, but "Elon Musk" is now the top trending term in my region, and it is a little bit demoralizing to see so many people jump on the hating Elon bandwagon without thinking about what he is trying to accomplish with regard to a sustainable future.

I think for the most part, people will forget about this in a short amount of time, and they are just generally upset and looking for someone to vent their frustrations on. Does anyone think this has a bearing on the long-term future of the company?

Big, fat nothing burger. I’ve seen this movie many times. You’re worrying about nothing you can control and nothing that has any Tesla or TSLA significance. Let it go.

Too expensive to change main factory but making Texas the future is possible for a company on this growth ramp

This is honestly one of his better sounding days.

 

[wipster]

I'm only getting about one third of what was said. They really need closed caption. So it"s not just you.

There will be a transcript on SA in a few hours

 

[Pezpunk]

Elon: "well, as i said on Twitter...."
Me: oh no....
Elon: "... i'm really excited to build a new HVAC system"
Me: *PHEW*

 

[MartinAustin]

If a fun guy tries to get into your house... Tesla's HVAC will stop him!

 

[Cattledog]

Retails investors questions kicking ass (not surprised), great that they now start with these first.

Agree, these are really deep, growth oriented, what does the future hold questions. No basis points!

 

[madodel]

This is an hour long radio commercial for Tesla.

 

[SOULPEDL]

"Air Quality is Important."
