Just tell them we are going to follow the same thing that bitcoin did but without the final dip that BTC is in now: Big long lull for years, then a first "tiny" spike.... then a lul for a year or 2.... then a HUGE gain. I tried to match up the TSLA and BTC graphs as if they were in the same history of growth:The problem with this is that most, if not all, will think they already missed out on their chance. If I didn't know better I would too.
I'd agree with all of that. GM has been building battery factories, Ford seemed to believe they could rely on partners. The SK lawsuit re IP theft with LG really threw them for a loop. Ford was clearly relying on SK for initial capacity.
Ford is doing a much much better job getting publicity and I firmly believe part of that publicity effort is internal. GM is dealing with 2 failed partnerships and publicity re nikola and lordstown has been damaging. GM partnering with those 2 is very concerning.
That's just crazy talk.Saw my first Model S Plaid in the wild last night while at dinner with the wifey....Gorgeous MSM that i swore said to me "This too can be yours if you sell 200 shares of $TSLA tomorrow....."
What's even crazier is that if you actually believed it and actually sold some chairs to fund it ....That's just crazy talk.
Who would want to subject themselves to the tormenting regret of realizing how much that chair sale, therefore the Plaid, would cost over time?
Do you really want to be driving a million dollar Model S Plaid?
Instead, use margin to buy it.
I think the only logical conclusions are that either GM supplies Ford with batteries or Ford and GM merge.I'd agree with all of that.

Vertical integration- Relying on 3rd party suppliers for nearly everything means you don't know how to do anything yourself- and probably don't even have the talent to know how to hire your way out of the problem... (see VW thinking if they just throw 10,000 bodies at software that'll fix it- the same fallacy that makes you think 9 women can birth a baby in 1 month)... it also means your specs are gonna suck since you're all buying the same off-the-shelf non-optimized stuff rather than doing any actual engineering.
Legacy sales and costs- A lot of dilemas wrapped up in this... losing your economies of scale on ICE sales as they drop... hurting said sales if you actually make a really compelling EV alternative, especially when you know you're limited in how many you can make due to lack of cells... even things like potentially losing suppliers for ICE cars you still need to build for a while once orders drop below a certain level, when your EV stuff also hasn't ramped enough to make up the difference.
When might Moodys upgrade?
Just for the record....I do not even own a car currently...after selling my Model S late last year. I've been going back and forth on purchasing a new Tesla and keep constantly reminding myself that my CT will be here soonThat's just crazy talk.

Or perhaps only about 50-75 shares if you financed it instead at the rate Tesla is offering approaching 2% with minimum down while TSLA share price quadruples and more during the term of your loan...................at least that’s my plan for the Plaid I ordered. It worked even more favorably for our Model X. We bought that new in 2017 for $117,000 and it cost us about $10,000 in TSLA stock purchases. It also helped us create a lot more Tesla fans around the Columbia River Basin.Saw my first Model S Plaid in the wild last night while at dinner with the wifey....Gorgeous MSM that i swore said to me "This too can be yours if you sell 200 shares of $TSLA tomorrow....."
Yes! An upgrade to bbbbz4- would be a real coup. (Use either definition of the word - both work within the sarcasm)When might Moodys upgrade?

And there is my new buzz phrase: coo coo gazongas.
Yes, anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 years. Do I have time to make a bologna sandwich or not? Talk about decisions and being held in limbo.Tick tock, 9 trading days until earnings. TSLA can only be suppressed for so long…
Thanks for making it harder...LOL! In all honesty....the $$ isn't really the issue....i think its just my stubbornness to keep $$ on hand in the event $TSLA makes another 20% drop to not have to shake more couches to buy more shares. We've built up a pretty good cash reserve and ill be ready after earnings if for some reason the manipulators decide to push it down $100+.Or perhaps only about 50-75 shares if you financed it instead at the rate Tesla is offering approaching 2% with minimum down while TSLA share price quadruples and more during the term of your loan...................at least that’s my plan for the Plaid I ordered.

I can’t deny I’m trying to make this decision harder on you @BlackS . You really really want that Plaid and it would look great on you!
BTW, yesterday I convinced a neighbor to buy a Model Y instead of a hybrid SUV (not too difficult with some of the more recent data on hybrid emissions) and I think I will have convinced a friend in Boise to do the same by the end of the week because it pairs so perfectly with his new rooftop solar system. And we are helping my brother and his family get a Model 3 now that they have a new solar system. And that is just the most recent influences. It would be fun to know how many Teslas and solar projects have been sold with the help of TMC members over the years. TSLA is still several Gigafactories short of needing anything more than word of mouth advertising IMO. In fact one of the greatest difficulties I have is helping people understand why they have to wait a few weeks or months to get one.
