How many will be buying a Tesla in the next 2 years?
Probably few. They don’t buy cars anymore than EM buys houses. Transportation as a service is the future.

How many will be buying a Tesla in the next 2 years?
TSLA downward push in pre-market today, and likely the action yesterday, is directly related to "the situation". Folks moving shares to raise cash for other moves, BUT I'm really starting to think the eventual landing place for much of this incremental cash is TSLA. And Bitcoin obviously. 50/50 perhaps.Chamath explaining it to 5 year olds. Which adds credence to my suspicions that some of our odd downward moves this week might have been caused by the shorts (but not the TSLA shorts)

Yup. I don't like trucks, they don't work for my lifestyle and cost more to operate, but I'm buying a tri-motor Cybertruck for no other reason than to drive around and show other truck owners their pick-ups are not as capable and more expensive to own compared to a Tesla truck.So, GMs most profitable pick-up truck division will remain gas and diesel well beyond 2035? Cybertruck can't get here fast enough. Only when Tesla pick-up truck EVs are out in volume will GM realize that they changed too little too late in the game, to their own demise.
Nah.Probably few. They don’t buy cars anymore than EM buys houses. Transportation as a service is the future.
The profit, not the margin. 5 * 100K * 30% is still a 30% margin 1 * 200K * 45% is still a 45% margin. (numbers made up for ease of calculation) Obviously the profit will be more on the five cars.The question is will the margin be enough to compensate for the margin of the 5 cars that could have otherwise been sold. Highly unlikely.

This is one fantastic idea (even though I don't own a game console). Someone with a Twitter account should tweet this to Elon.So given Tesla has basically built an entertainment system that matches the playstion 5 in specs and a cloud gaming platform anyone think they might start selling home consoles? I mean it sounds like they've built all the pieces already, all they need is a plastic shell to throw on what is going in the car so you can put it on their shelf.
I would bring the costs down for what goes in a vehicle by producing them components at a greater scale and increase the attractiveness of the robotaxis.
"Oh ive been playing this game on the tesla gamestation and now I have a 45 minute drive in a robo taxi. What! I can continue my saved game from my home console for the drive? Thats awesome. Im never getting in a waymo"
I can see the headlines now: "Redditors cause worldwide financial collapse"So basically this wide spread short raid may cause a market crash worst than Lehman?
Put it into 280 characters and I will.This is one fantastic idea (even though I don't own a game console). Someone with a Twitter account should tweet this to Elon.
Agreed. Unless that third screen makes Tesla money, in which case I'm all for it.Please no. I can see the need or want for a third screen in the Y. But "everyone" has been complaining that the Model S/X has not really been flaship models with everything better on the Y. Though the S still costs twice as much as the 3. The top of the line products needs something except 0-60 times to be clearly exclusive for them. So I hope they do keep it like that especially for the Long Range model it needs more then a slightly bigger size than a 3 to justify the price.
Not to mention that Halo vehicles needs a decently sized halo for them to work.

Yeah, always blame the little guy. Don't look at the corrupt system. Yet another reason why short selling should be illegal.
As someone who has been in software development for 35 years the best thing I ever heard about estimates was at a conference when the presenter said. "The only good estimate comes after you have completed the project". So many things can get in the way of getting stuff done that you simply have a hard time accounting for. Also small projects are where this hurts the worst. A little difficult to find bug can throw an estimate out the window. Expect a task to take a day to accomplish and all goes well and 1 little issue could cause that day to jump out of whack. Especially when using software packages developed by others when we do with every project.Part of the reason software development estimates are bad is that humans are optimistic when estimating the future. The estimates rarely account for the unexpected, such as a pandemic.
It's been my observation that this group tends to hype ourselves up and then get disappointed when Tesla's amazing achievements don't match our hype.
I'm setting my estimate at 850,000 deliveries for 2021.
I'm hoping the answer will rhyme with Schmap Schtore.Agreed. Unless that third screen makes Tesla money, in which case I'm all for it.
