Why are you posting here instead of livestreaming from the lot where Tesla holds all their Model 3's? Go take your evidence to the SEC, maybe they'll care.

Well, it IS in the mold of a A GLC SUV to begin with. Any of these interior options are most likely going to be available for a price.
Contradicted by data. Surveys say 2/3 want to buy the long-range model. I see no reason to disbelieve the surveys, and it matches with the Model S experience.
Not to mention that it seems like the Tesla battery and powertrain are probably a generation or two ahead of what you'll buy from the new entrants. Thats why I would head to Tesla first over the others. Fit and finish can probably be easily fixed as time goes on, but the drive motors and battery tech needs to be right. Long TSLA.
You drive a lot, eh? Basically the number of drive unit replacement is connected to how many miles you drove before the "P" revision of the drivertrain was released, since I haven't heard of a single replacement since that revision was released.
You're the only person I've ever heard of with a heating system failure.
These were pretty common. I'm not sure what went wrong with the chargeport design but I hope they got it fixed by now.
They do say "never buy the first year of a new model" if you don't want to have problems. We're not very far into the second year of Model 3 yet (and if you count the first few months as preproduction, we aren't there at all).
Yeah. I'm only 5 hours away and it already is an issue. I would wait in your position too.Oh, also, living in a state with the reputation as the most anti-Tesla state in the union, with the auto dealer mob blocking Tesla from opening any service centers and stores, meaning if the Tesla needs major service it has to be towed 8 hours away, also might be a factor.
That "rule of thumb" simply does not apply to battery size increases, which has been proven repeatedly by the various variants of Models S and X. People pay for range.
I live in Nebraska and worked at a dealership as a sales agent and I guarantee AWD in the $35k version will be popular in the top half of the US. I sold those small SUVs like RAV4 etc and everyone wants AWD. If you had a sedan, same rules apply. Ppl require it for snow. I would say something like possibly as high as 80 or 90 percent will want AWD. I don't even think we ordered non AWD for those small SUVs like RAV4.
No, he mentioned stamping once as one of the not-quite-rate-limiting steps. I think it got fixed before it became the primary bottleneck.The problem with bottlenecks (funnily enough, a topic that we're now talking about more than the short-faced bears over on SA) is that unless you're at max production, there's always a bottleneck. Fix that bottleneck? Now something else is a bottleneck. Sometimes multiple things at once. Tesla has repeatedly cycled through bottlenecks as each time they fix one thing, something else comes in. First it was frame welding automation. Then the big long-term problems with battery pack production. Then paint shop. Then general assembly. Then paint shop again. Occasionally its been suppliers limiting them. Now they're hitting up against Giga's cell production limits - not sure whether that or paint is currently the limit. Things will just keep switching, and that's inevitable during scaleup.
Interestingly, I've never heard of stamping or plastics being a bottleneck. I guess Tesla has that part down
If you ask here, it is always time to buy
I truly hate Elon Musk for smashing down TSLA stock with a hammer full of idiotism. Now I am sitting on a 10K loss and I just feel horrible... He doesnt even apologize for his behaviour and investors suffering because of him. Great
The rule of thumb would generally apply though, most ppl are constrained by a budget. We shouldn't dismiss this sort of info out of hand since it is proven statistically. I've heard that even as small as $1k price differences significantly can increase or decrease market share for cars. So if you go from $35k to $30k yu get more and more market share. That said, I think Tesla could charge such premiums since it's the latest and greatest that they generally sell $40k and up for quite awhile.
Mike just hang in there. You will probably gain some or most of it back as we approach Q3. I've traded call options and bought Tesla stock for a long time...and you can have a $10, $20, $30 increase or decrease in share price in 1 day. I buy calls with long expiration so I have plenty of time for Tesla to rise, etc. If you own stock you're in even better position since you just wait out the FUD.
It’s only a paper loss until you sell.
I wish I was only down 10k. Another poster is down over 500k.
But I’m not worried because I plan on holding for years.
what is this ridiculous price action telling us today? am i supposed to believe that the street really thinks the company is not in a good position?
of 31 analyst rec’s;
11 are positive
9 are neutral
11 are sell
seems like it is being manipulated down before the good news starts flowing - which is highly frustrating

And, I mean, that rule of thumb doesn't work in the ICE space, either.
If it did, the Mitsubishi Mirage, Chevy Spark, and Nissan Versa would be the three best selling vehicles in the US market by far. (All three can be had new for under $10k. Seriously.)

dude, maybe you need to get a different perspective on life and investing (i dont mean that in a bashing context). Sell your TSLA, put your $ in index funds and go find a hobby. you obviously dont have the stomach for volatile stocks.
