Nor will they spend that much over the next 5 years. No they aren’t. All talk, no action of any significance. Die.

Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB

They may have $30B of cash on hand right now, but they won't be able to spend any significant portion of it. GM's current assets total $80B. Their current liabilities also total $80B. Flipping through their historical annual income statements, the most they've got was like $9.6B. The average is more like $6B. Looks to me like they'll need at least half a decade worth of net income to finance a $30B investment in EV. That's gonna a touch pill to swallow.

Occasionally, there’s an entirely positive article published, though we tend to only focus on the FUD. Mashable is not going to be confused with the NYT, but hey, it’s something, and their audience is a good demo for Tesla.

The won't need to. The "planned" spending on EV's is merely a charade to save their place at the government bailout trough.
I think this is spot on. Ford is actually putting out some EVs that have merit. The mach-e is not a terrible car actually, has some innovation, has some features such as a large battery that show some understanding of the key "needs" of an EV sold in the USA, the manufacturing showed a combination of a first in a new platform kludge and savvy international procurement. The truck is looking ok too.
Compare to GM, the bolt/volt has not aged well. There is no innovation. They actually bought into Milton's Nikola fraud. They partnered with that lordstown debacle. What a show from top to bottom at GM.
My initial reaction was I hope everyone acts mature and rational during this time.
My second reaction, after some thought, is I hope everyone acts mature and rational during this time and the authorities do their job as best as possible and then some.
Condolences to the Straubel family.
Cars vs bikes are a major problem that forever changes lives.
May Teslas forever change this problem.
The SEC is controlled by hedge funds and short sellers so I'm not sure what you were expecting them to do. If they leave Elon alone from now on I'll be happy enough.And the SEC will have nothing to 'investigate'.....yet....they have the resources to 'investigate' tweets by Elon...makes complete sense.....
Their job...maybe....oh wait....that's too much to ask.

One of my worst childhood memories is watching one of my friends hit by a bus while riding a bike. Happened out near Manteca, CA.
American road and street design is a travesty. Every time I ride one of these "bike lanes" putting kids on bicycles right next to cars whizzing by at 50mph, I want to strangle a road engineer. Dunno if self-driving cars will fix the problem, but I'm a strong advocate of pedestrian safety standards in car design, and fixing America's atrocious street design.
was clicking available inventory in various European countries in NO and DE only M3Ps, haven't seen anywhere base SR+ in inventory
Surprisingly, that's actually the safest place for a cyclist. All the other way puts the cyclist at either 90 degrees to the traffic or worse, facing the traffic, so the driver never sees the cyclist because the cyclist is not where anything is expected.
Tesla battery partner CATL debunks shocking new rumors from China
Tesla battery supplier Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), which provides cells for Gigafactory Shanghai’s vehicles, has put its foot down on recent rumors alleging that it is forcing its employees to purchase “defective” Tesla vehicles. The statement was related by the battery maker to the...
www.teslarati.com
From the article:
The anonymous staff worker further claimed that the defective vehicles were sold by Tesla China to CATL to reduce inventory. This is a substantial claim, and one that most certainly caught its own round of controversy. In its statement to the Times, however, CATL denied these rumors.
What's good about publicly revealing Tesla's advancements sooner than later to potential competition?
Edit - slower is better. Also, unrelated and very OT:

What competition?
Any company can buy a plaid S and tear it down themselves. Also, Munro doesn't give away the very valuable info. For that, you need to buy their reports.
I'm looking forward to the teardown by Munro. It's one of the few channels I'm subscribed to.
