  1. Waiting a quarter or two didn't pan out so far. Same narratives we've been hearing for a decade, competition, Elon a maverick, demand concerns.

  2.  @codemonkey2k5  Good GRIEF, relax. Your overcharged reaction doesn't help anything. The system is allowed by regulators and this explains partly why.

  3.  @williamcrowley5506  That could either mean: "said expert wants one therefore I might too" OR, automatically thinking he sold-out which would be projecting one's own low integrity on to others.

  4. Yes it is but you can only bow and praise at the alter of Tesla to satisfy the Cultists, even if you have an accurate great point they have a meltdown if it's slightly skeptical of their religion.

  5. It could to the extent that they need to import car parts/supplies for that factory, but I believe some 90% will be fabricated at that factory and since it's for the Chinese market the trade war could actually help overall as it may harm competition even more. (not counting the hundreds of Chinese EV companies of unknown viability)

  7. @John Smith Many here have gains of 10 to 20X with TSLA in a mere 7 or 8 yr.s. I was late to it and still have some 2.5X gains in 7 months. Why don't you consider leaning and participating instead of regurgitating mindless rhetoric? Just a thought! ;-)

  8.  @7mu777  AMZN squared but more like 15 yrs ago.

  9.  @neeljavia2965  Over valued by what metric?

  10.  @phreshlivin1881  Legacy auto mfgs have massive headwinds including huge debt, pensions, unions and the inherent conflict between short term profits and long term investments required to have a chance of existing into next decade, many won't. Plus the dealership handicap and most of their profits coming from servicing which EVs do not require. Only Tesla has a roadmap to produce the many multiples of batts over current production, required to make millions of cars per yr in a few yrs. "Dominate the market"--depends what you mean, 20 to 30% will likely continue for the next several yrs which is well beyond what they need to thrive by 2030. Robotaxis are essentially a given be autonomous solved by the end of this yr or several yrs out. That alone should add trillions to the market cap mid decade and NO ONE else is close to solving it other than geofenced so they may pay Tesla for licenses to use it. Tesla will be producing 20M cars per yr. well before end of decade most likely, that's VW plus Toyota production. Dominant? IDK, you tell me if that qualifies. Plenty of room for the other big players especially out of China, downsized VW, F, GM and other upstarts like Rivian.

  11. TBH he's rubbish speaker and carries on too much on tangents, HOWEVER--I always tune in anyway. Good dude with half century of automotive tooling to engineering experience.

  12.  @mschribr  Good point but there is more to it--1st a lag time, insurance Co.s take time to figure out and adjust, 2nd the cars can be horrendously expensive to fix in a fender bender.

  13. Here is what we KNOW: T cars have earned the highest crash worthiness test scores of all time by government test ratings. (the 3 essentially got a 6 out of 5, or something above 5, they are going to need a higher rating system as other mfg.s will for sure also achieve similar results soon) The top rated cars on the planet for surviving a crash are the X, S and Model 3, in ascending order. NO doubt they are THE choice if safety is your priority--for now. I don't think Y ratings have be done yet but it's almost certain to be in the top 4 given T's track record. Possibly more important-- the data that I've seen says they are some 4 to 6 times less likely to get in a crash in the first place when using AP As new, limited and flawed as AP is on the way to the incredibly tough to crack autonomous, or FSD, Full Self Driving capability, it's already making cars dramatically safer. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

  17.  @ProjektUnity  Luck plays a roll every time we drive to work but it doesn't make us valuable. I followed Tesla for a decade before gaining the conviction in 2018, a lot of NOT luck involved in all that. ;-) Successful folks tend to spell luck W O R K.

  18.  @ProjektUnity  Just make sure you do your homework, conviction is key to ride out the down months. Love to see involvement and SUCCESS in youth (and everyone else), when one person does well we all benefit a little plus precious capitalism is under most serious assault since the 1960's hippies who by NOW are typically about the most capitalistic out there. :D

  20.  @SonTimba  Understand that he was overthrown from PayPal while on his honeymoon and, more relevant, started OpenAI, as open source nonprofit, to counter the Leftist lunatic controlled alternatives, only to have that too be taken over by insidious forces. He has done nothing remotely wrong with regards to managing Tesla in this context. Yeah saving Twitter from both bankruptcy and the Neo-Marxist activists, was arguably necessary to alter the course toward becoming the USSA. Do you suppose Tesla, SpaceX and the rest can even exist under Communist rule?? You may not understand or agree but he sees AI in the wrong hands as an existential threat, almost everyone who understands AI agrees.

  22.  @one1blue  You earned your poverty. The diff between prosperity and poverty is 1st and foremost a state of mind. You have the poverty mentality to match your state of existence...hmmm?

  23.  @pvelectronics4291  Easy to make childish comments when you don't have skin in the game. As a LT shareholder I want him well compensated, content that he can override any potential nefarious forces, and 'locked in' for the next, say 10 yrs.

  24.  @SlamSector  Tesla doesn't pay under the comp pkg we all voted FOR, it's a modest dilution in the stock which paid off to the tune of 10X in 6 yrs for US. And it's no one's damn business other than the stockholders. When criminal Biden says about 'going after Elon' for "unclear reasons": "'There are many many ways.'" Take him seriously, most overtly corrupt regime in USA history. Including having the FCC violate it's contract with SpaceX, bogus investigations, this incident, on and on.

  25. Get real, your problem is not his accent but his message is skeptical toward your religion. I'm a fanboy too but you cultists never fail to astound me. I will continue to seek the bear case on TSLA because I'm heavy long since the recent low. Obviously I know the bull case already it's foolish not to hear the bear case too.

  26. Thanks for input, that makes total sense. (just a fanboy and stockholder here not seeking car anytime soon unless they come up with a lite service truck chassis!)

  30. It's an example of what media has ALWAYS been, "clickbait", get over it doesn't mean the world is out to get Tesla.

  31.  @singed8853  Don't be a presumptuous PRICK, if you are capable of any scrap of adulthood. I've gone thru every page of it, have YOU? As far as I know Elon made one mild single sentence Tweet. Get your head out of your Commy ASS.

  32.  @maxpayne7419  You children thinking short term...you'll never get ahead until you learn how to invest instead of treating the market as a casino. I'm up near 10X in just under 5 short yrs on TSLA and likely be up another 10 or 20X in the next 5.

  33. Uhmm....yeah actually they do sometimes I've seen several instances of it myself. This was a properly balance short clip. Tesla has already completed it's mission statement, you can relax now.

  34. Good related clip I just came across: https://youtu.be/2sFv4QD1Yak It's an extremely hard nut to crack, I'm happy with the progress and this endorsement from Bloomberg and regulators. If not mistaken, using Tesla on AP is some 4 to 6 times less likely to get in an accident than average car and driver ALREADY, it has some serious problems as expected but it's improving fast. As a fan and TSLA holder I love it.

  35.  @JT-xq2hv  Love to hear that . "Brakes locking up" is not the point, no automatic system is going to do that without total system failure that should disable itself first, ABS would prevent it. IT can and HAS stopped or nearly stopped quickly in high speed traffic for no good reason and other alarming faults. Overall it still dramatically reduces the chances of an accident however and is evolving rapidly. I don't know when FSD becomes a reality but it will certainly dramatically improve road safety. That said I'm glad I'm still allowed to drive my own car. One day it will be illegal to manually drive on public roads, by then I'll likely be too old to care.

  36. Why shouldn't Trump be allowed? NOT a Mr. T. fan but "The insurrection" wasn't, and how stupid are we compared to the censors? Are we really afraid of Trump's Tweets?? We are treated like weak little bitches by Twitter, FB, YT..... Apparently many of us are.

  37. Only Tweet I ever held against Elon was "Funding secured", however Elon/Tesla make a good case that funding (Saudi's for one) was at least implicitly secured and probably explicitly....legalities are not my thing tho.

  38. They can't make enough millions of Model Y alone to meet demand, lucrative and what ppl want , why hurry for dilutive products vs spitting out Y's 2 per minute per factory first...then focus on the rest.

  39. Your probably trolling but.... They can't possibly be that bad else 99.8% of owners wouldn't say they love the cars, and they do. Yeah they have some issues but dramatically fewer over time. Paint jobs are crap some say, they dent too easy, some of the fancy features failed in the early versions and so on, most of it was taken care of by Tesla. Have you ever driven or ridden in one? Joe Rogan (well known on YouTube) is a CAR GUY, Porches, muscle cars and such, he says his Model 3 makes all other cars seem STUPID.

  42. They gave a nice positive report, as a fanboy and small stockholder I'm pleased...system is very new for what it's try'n to do and regulators are being sensible allowing a lot of latitude knowing it IS safer and will soon be much safer than ave. human driver.

  44. Philip Dunne What you mean is that you can't handle anything other than bowing down to the God Tesla. THAT's sickening.

  45.  @incognitotorpedo42  He's asking the media to be blindly obedient to the Tesla God, that's why. Asking questions and (god forbid) being critical of their failings, yes they do have some, is healthy for Tesla. No one wants to see them thrive more than I, that doesn't mean I worship at the alter of Elon, it means I have massive respect for him and his achievements. You understand the difference I hope.

  46.  @mkkm945  I don't know what you are disagreeing with, but OK.

  47.  @mkkm945  I'm a big Elon/Tesla fan too but I think many of you are looking so hard for such bias that you find it when it's not there. I don't think y'all are satisfied with "balanced" some of you require suspension of criticism, that's not going to help Tesla.
