  1. As usual Cramer and stocks (and life in general) are just TOO COMPLEX for most posting here to grasp. Jim has consistently praised the car and both praised and made fun of Elon. One can love the product, the mission and the man, and still shun the stock. Jim is right to advise viewers to neither be long nor short TSLA...it's just too hard to value, professional trader territory. (I say that as I consider a small long, speculative position myself, but I'd recommend many other stocks to a friend, not TSLA)

  2.  @MarkH10  Yeah it's called "Elon time", and as a new TSLA small stock holder it makes me nervous. He has consistently been WAY behind 'scheduled' on everything. "I do have a problem with punctuality" he joked once. On the other hand--Tesla cars have exceeded performance claims in some ways. Eventually these tiles will likely be viable but I wouldn't hold my breath as much as I love the idea.

  3. Slash regs across the board but especially those designed to put small farms at a disadvantage. Bring on Elon and Vevik Ramaswamy! 😉

  4. Is there any industry more subsidized than farming? NO question small farmers need relief from punitive excess regulations. Such as corn-ethanol for fuel should be fazed out starting immediately. Corn for fuel is a fiasco.

  5.  @zeroshepard9513  Yeah, missed our chance to complete our transition to full on Banana Republic.

  7.  @teejaye110  He's tweeted similar high price IMO's half a dozen times in recent yr.s, it's NO BIG DEAL....just a gift to us buyers.

  8. Geeze I hope Biden doesn't squander my money on H, governments are the WORST at making choices markets should be making. 6:50 Dude is yrs out of date, BEV semis will rule. (Ohhh! he's invested in H, that explains a lot)

  9. Sounds GOOD to me, no good employee needs protection except from excess government like the rest of us.

  11.  @cmdr1911  Folks get addicted to the pork, it's a national shame. Let the corporate welfare recipients of my tax dollars defend the practice. It's nothing but throwing resources and money in the toilet. It doesn't even create any energy as it requires about as much energy to produce as it returns. A complete sham of the sort that brings nations to their knees if done extensively enough.

  12. YES. Crucial point.

  13. When it 1st rolled out I literally was wishing I hadn't bet the ranch on TSLA...but it rapidly grew on me. Put it next to any other pickup and the other looks like a grandma's grocery getter.

  14. ONE MORE reason to be very wary of all these EV stocks other than TSLA.

  15. Guess I'm old, remember when Herbie came out as a kid I was totally enamored. lol

  16. Profit means delivering more than you are consuming to deliver, it's not optional.

  17. F3ND1MUS Not illegal because it's entirely public, you can trade off the same information he does. It's a vote of confidence by Elon, putting his own money on it.

  18.  @leovrivera  You got that WAY backwards.

  19. Good to hear. Still good to go?

  20. Why would any established adult be considering minimums like that? You should have elevated your value well beyond that by late teens.
    2
  21.  @NickRussoTV  Doing what? Work within their "not pointless field"?? Maybe they should get trade skills where 6 figures is relatively quick and easy and shortages across the nation in the trades.
    2
  22.  @NickRussoTV  We in the USA have stigmatized anything that requires physical effort or gets one's hands dirty, for decades. This opens a massive opportunity for those not concerned about status. I'm far from new at it but can easily command $120/hr (again not net, cost me 20 to $30/hr to operate) with a well equipped "portable welding shop", pricey specialized service truck plus high skills. High quality, very experienced diesel mechanics I know can get at least that much with significantly lower operating costs but boy they EARN IT. Someone did a study on reasonably well off (millionaires or more) on what characteristics were most important to achieving such prosperity, they came up with a list of 30 or so attributes. The NUMBER ONE quality for such success was determined to be INTEGRITY which is not always easy to find but anyone can achieve it.

  23.  @caseydorn3309  You challenged my assertion that forced "equality" is immoral. Now defend your position. I get the power of my OWN LIFE. YOU DON'T. Get it? I get 1st say where the fruits of my labors go or there will be ZERO fruits for you to LOOT. Got it?

  24. T- Smooth No need childish insults. He's correct that both nations are inducing consumers to purchase EVs and that will effect the GLOBAL market, regardless of his (sloppy?) use of words. I think you knew what he meant.

  25. Amar Khandve He certainly knows what he's talking about but that doesn't make him right in the end, only time will tell, it's complicated.

  26. Mark Baum And how about YOU Ace? Have you shorted TSLA with all you got or are you just another cheap talker.

  27. For those confused--mix of humor/sarcasm and dead serious from Cramer, but I know him well enough to decipher, first 90 seconds he MEANS IT.

  28. I bet they have stock options with Tesla matching funds too? If so many will be well off long before retirement age likely.

  31.  @IDIturboDiesel  Yeah probably not much worse than my Chevy 3500 HD with solid beam front suspension.

  32. I got 5 yrs out of previous phone which is typical for me.

  33.  @Comeback180  For most products I don't have all day to research it. For big purchases sure but for $20??

  34.  D Brick  I recently paid $10 more for a $30 product on Amazon bc Walfart would have me drive half way across town and suffer their misreble store to pick it up! You gotta be kidding me, I can't even leave my drive for less than $5. hahaha "Convenience" is a hell of a lot more than easier it's typically cheaper if your time is worth squat.

  35. It's not the virus but mostly our insanely stupid reaction to it. Restaurants seating half as many ppl is not viable for most of them, margins were thin at full cap.

  36. Yes Kevin is very good but he sure didn't help us HERE did he. I made a small fortune betting against Kevin's take on TSLA.
    2
  37.  @1984johnson  OK, that makes sense but it's still misleading as the other 90% is useful. Also that would mean more like 1 ton of concrete to 5 tons extracted bc concrete isn't just sand but also gravel and cement.

  38.  @T_Burd_75  Nothing wrong with econoboxes but some of us have moved on to pay up for highly capable fun cars.

  39. With your own shop you can charge $150/hr and be overwhelmed with business, assuming high quality and integrity. The biggest problem you'll have is hiring a few good mechanics to work for you but as a one man operation you can still thrive. (I do so in the field welding biz, not quite to $150 yet but can command that except I won't for old loyal customers)

  40. Always enjoy O'leary, one of the most candid free thinking guys you'll ever hear from publicly.

  41. How many here have actually made the effort to examine the science and tried to understand it instead of just being spoon fed by popular media like CNBS? There's never been a time in my 60 yrs where reality wasn't sacrificed on the alter of revenue, drama, fear and/or politics, nor a time when reporters knew or cared anything about science. The data, trends, charts, comparing various greenhouse gasses, etc?

  42.  @jaredbarker9515  I don't know who's worse, dems or R's, but that's a tangent. Digging up the truth is difficult but raw data can be found as well as, century or 150 yr old publications reporting max temps, fatalities from heat, wild land fires, sea ice, glacial melting, etc., all over the N. hemisphere. Or even recent yrs reports of 2000 yr old Viking mountain trails just uncovered by retreating glaciers (think about THAT) in Norway or similar in other places like Switzerland....ya gotta plant a seed of doubt somewhere or the intellectually lazy masses will never consider they might have been duped therefore can't self correct.

  43.  @jaredbarker9515  I mean you can't toss an encyclopedia at anyone so I have a handful to a dozen pertinent considerations that, amazingly (or not), few climate alarmists have even considered: 1) over last few M yrs CO2 has definitely correlated with temp change but it has lagged temp as often as led it. So what's really the driver? 2) if CO2 was the driver of climate then we would never escape a glacial maximum but instead the entire planet would likely freeze over bc such time is when albedo is max and CO2 is a minimum. 3) what is the minimum level of CO2 for plant life? My understanding is mass plant extinction, to a degree Earth would never recover from, occurs around 100 to 150ppm. This indicates we have repeatedly been extremely close to global catastrophe in recent geologic history of 170/180ppm. NO question plants are more drought tolerant, healthier and stronger at 400ppm then 300 and life flourished at 15X higher, 7000ppm in distant past. And of course we live in near unprecedented LOW CO2 levels over life's history. Why would we think the random level we inherited is optimal? Does one suppose Earth was made for humans ? 4) CO2 is a greenhouse gas but a puny one compared to water vapor and the irradiance spectrum blocked by CO2 almost entirely overlaps the H2O spectrum, it's like tossing a bed sheet on top of a 6cm thick goose down quilt.

  44. WILSON! 'Less capable semi'?? How so? Sounds like by far the most capable big rig ever conceived of. You may be one of the last but you too will be driving EVs and grateful for all the ICE headaches left on the side of the road.

  45. keijo456 How do you know the will never make a profit? I bet you would have said 8 yr.s ago they will never make a car people really want too.

  46.  @Bud131  No one is that stupid, it's about monetary discipline, deferred rewards, living below one's means or struggle. Simple.

  47. Sort of poor tho right? Not a lot of job opportunities?

  48.  @erikeggenbakstad  Rectify what? The need to earn a living?? A free pony for everyone???

  49.  @erikeggenbakstad  I have a modest lot with a nascent 'jungle', a beautiful place to be with more types of organic fruits and nuts, avocados to apples, than I can list here...heading toward 200 not counting ornamentals. A private productive paradise. How about you?

  50. As much as I like Euro nations, and to visit, I'm sure happy not to live there in relative poverty. In the USA a decent common tradesman can earn over $100k after only a few yr.s training or they can create their own job and do even better.
