  1. It's the nature of being listed on a stock exchange and offering equity, if you can't handle criticism from all sides, too bad. It's not a realm for fragile children. Best not own individual stocks if you can't consider both the bear case and bull case.

  2. That was a stupid comment.

  4. OH NO. Not another GM partnership with a start up! :D (I suspect this one might actually be real)

  5.  @enriquegentry5629  GOOD to hear that, it's supposed to be a pretty good car for many folks. Chinese are soon going to 'flood' American market with much more advanced less expensive options. GM is screwed best I can see, drowning in debt slow innovation and crippled by UAW, etc.

  6.  @cnordegren  It would have to become unrecognizable almost, the original shape is aerodynamically terrible.

  7.  @charlesmichaels6648  Obviously I'm not reading all that. Maybe you don't remember what it was like in America BEFORE the EPA. I do. You might remember when closing the garage door and leaving the engine running was a quick easy way to commit suicide...doesn't work near as well today. Free markets should dominate but they fail anytime you have "concentrated rewards with distributed costs." ....making the environment toxic might profit one entity while they only pay the small, universally distributed price along with millions of others, naturally the 'others' are polluting too. Soon things become unlivable. See Beijing in recent yr.s or Los Angeles in 1970. Agencies involved in dirty deeds, corruption or whatever--it's not trivial, but don't think it's OK for you to simplify your car by removing emissions equipment, society rightly won't put up with it. When's the last time you happened to find yourself behind a 1960's American car?...just ONE CAR stinks up the whole road, they all used to be that way in the bad old day's when USA rivers literally caught on fire as they were industrial/general sewers. I'll put up with some form of EPA first.

  9. OK Newsom--- slash the heck out of crippling regulations, Cali ran mining out of town decades ago, I'll be shocked if YOU can make it viable again. Washington could help by getting out of the way. I used to do contract process equipment fabrication for Silver Peak operation. (was Foote Mineral back then)

  10. Hay wagons (pickups) and SUVs are crap on the road anyway, I only suffer one when I absolutely have to which is much of the time.

  11. Market cap covers all bases. No need to have a complex formula including "safety", bla bla bla. I think it's great they are not only upsetting all other conventions but CEO pay as well, tied directly to the most fundamental performance indicator and in a way that it can't be manipulated. Elon can't just pop the stock and sell his shares, he has to wait half a decade.

  12. And then do WHAT with the salt? No conceivable use for that much. Natural evaporation is causing vastly more 'brine' constantly, it's just distributed evenly. It's not as tho desal has any effect on ocean salinity on average what so ever. Same amount of salt in the oceans so it's just a matter of dilution/distribution.

  13.  @billolsen4360  And now we have the worst sort of corrupt seniors, the one's legally insider trading in DC, subsidizing GM.

  15. Self discipline maybe?? No one could be that clueless.

  16. Governments are the ultimate monopoly, that means they have no incentive to serve their customers, us.

  17. And the societal stigmatization of ALL trades, especially if they get your hands dirty. Mention to a young person all the 6 figure opportunities in the trades (there's plenty) and their eyes glaze over, they've been indoctrinated to believe any job including manual work is beneath them, only for losers or whatever. It's mindless. Some of the smartest most disciplined workers I know are freelance diesel mechanics, much smarter than many engineers I've known.

  18. Same here, only added 10 just over $400 but if you believe in the long term story it's still "cheap". I'm going to buy more, cash is trash and I have a bit too much of it.

  19.  @Ftroo-eu3cx  Even if that's the case your talking about massive pumping costs and pipeline investment making an already expensive water maybe several times more expensive.

  20. Can't remember last time I bought OJ. Grow and squeeze my own, not even the same stuff really, vastly superior but requires significant time and effort.

  21. Repurchasing shares doesn't make earnings "look" better, it automatically makes EPS better. It's often criticized as not the best use of capital but it's not generally a negative either. Reducing shares outstanding, by itself, increases the value of remaining shares.

  22. Maybe, or he agrees with you? It's a decent bull case but there are also good bear cases to be made. Only time will tell, TSLA could crater too. If you really have so much conviction you should put everything you got into the stock.

  23. Yes they would. The US is not the biggest threat to most nations today.

  24. For what purpose? To pile up endless mountains of salt???

  25. 3 yrs later--this should be entertaining and usefully informative. Sure happy I backed up the truck about a yr after this vid aired, starting at $38. The real torrent was the 10's of billions transferred from such as Chanos to the likes of ME!

  26. The new bus looks good but don't forget we live in an atmosphere, boxy shapes push a lot of air, inefficient and the original bus was terrifying to think of a front end collision with your toes right behind the bumper. It's going to have to be only superficial resemblance to the past. Welcome all EVs.

  27. Over 2M preorders (call it 1M conservatively if 50% don't go thru with order) and many more orders coming as ppl learn about how superior and advanced it is. Will always be "very difficult to make"? Based on what?

  28. If this vid offended you then you have NO biz investing in individual stocks, your way too childish or religious about the subject.

  29.  @Nonamelol.  Dunno about those numbers but point taken, I'll take your word for it tentatively. Plenty of room for improvement including procurement procedures designed to incur endless cost overruns. We pay some 10X more for a fighter plane than China and Russia I'm told. Possible that is justified as a mere 20% advantage could make all the difference in a fight and there is always far greater cost to get those last few percent. But our system is designed for overspending. Bottom line is we won't be able to afford anything if we allow continued financial irresponsibility out of DC.

  31. Solo Consciousness Are you seriously that NAIVE and STUPID. How about all the other disruptors who are still with us? Grow up. Sheesh.

  32.  @tiramisu8359  They are already too late, the EV revolution is unstoppable now. Reality ain't "Dallas" the silly TV show. Auto and oil industries are invested in alternatives too and they don't go around shooting people, that's a childish fantasy.

  33. William Doubles I assume you have mortgaged your house to short TSLA then? Put up or shut up, talk is cheap unless you have skin in the game. I suspect your confidence in Tesla's demise is completely fake.

  34.  @HighSockDavid  "Stunning design"? Always cheesy IMO.

  35. Really? That simple? How much have you made in the markets this yr.?

  36. blableka They all knew the risks or should have. Some make a pretty good case for the possibility that TSLA could gain by a factor of ten in as many yr.s, you don't get that sort of upside without high risk. There is always two sides to every "trade". I would say that many don't want to hear this sort of criticism which is stupid from an investment stand point...one should always challenge their premises.

  37. What's "not always the case"? The risk of equity getting wiped out is based on the management and prospects of a given company, always complex. It's about as useful as "buy low and sell high" to point out it can go to zero...if you don't have that much understanding then you have no biz in markets except for maybe low cost index funds. I agree that the cult is keeping a floor on TSLA price, that's both reassuring and concerning for me. I need more than that. I love the "Musk Mission" but I need to have confidence in a decent risk/reward scenario which is ALWAYS hard but especially with Tesla.

  38. What's the real cost tho? Is your ticket heavily subsidized? No doubt Euro passenger rail is vastly ahead of US, freight maybe not.

  39. MNejc Fooled? What foolish comment.

  40.  @sb-ns2fr  It only shakes out the weak hands anyway. Memories are short--this is about the 6th time Elon has done this!! ('price too high')

  41. Sure turn Nevada into a sterile salt flat at massive cost. What a thoughtless idea.

  42. Mark Baum You seem to have a lot of confidence in that assessment--obviously you must be short TSLA with all your worth, or maybe your just another cheap talker.

  43.  @tlr9403  Are you one of those entitled worthless union "workers"? You were a failure from day one.

  44. How so? Cramer was properly skeptical and asked the most pertinent question he could.

  45. tcampbell2186  Hahaha. Indeed.  Yeah just about every other time that I buy a spec for a trade without doing due diligence I get spanked too.  :-)

  46. +olli tuovinen It depends. He was clearly wrong about KMX but he was right on target for the "FANGs" (FB, AMZN, NFLX and GOOG, take a look at those over the last 24 months) that he promoted starting about two years ago with 100 times the conviction he had for KMX or anything else. Had you done the opposite you would be in a world of pain. That's the nature of markets, no one is right or wrong all the time and only damn fool children think that there is anything remotely akin to a sure bet. Otherwise just bet against everything he promotes and make a fortune for yourself.

  47. Anyone with that attitude is guilty and I would NEVER hire YOU, you are certain to have massive negative value.

  48.  @ofadetergentsud  Exactly. As independent industrial contractor I've come across hundreds of unions, every one of them creates a toxic work environment destroying productivity and causing senseless conflict. I can smell 'em when I set foot in a plant for the first time, they ONLY serve to keep useless deadbeats on the job.

  49. And Commifornia is much worse than the media shows you bc it doesn't fit their narrative. 40 yrs of one party rule is toxic.

  50. I grow a dozen miscellaneous citrus on modest home lot farther N. Cali lowland. Zero pest or disease problems SO FAR, always productive.
