Right, the only thing Trump will win is a prison sentence.

Musk will be Musk, he will bully until someone tells him to sit down. The fact is, he's only the CEO and cannot make major decisions without Board approval or risk a shareholders lawsuit. What he is doing though is taking the share price down by threatening to do something he can't do. I...

If as an engineer he is a climate change denier, no amount of data -scientific or anecdotal - will convince him he's delusional. Instead he's left arguing against the simplification of terms that are used to make it simple enough for the great majority to understand. You do you. I'm just glad...

Lol you think you're so rational, but every other word you write is emotional. Is your straightjacket too tight?

It's a reality that in states where gas is cheapest and electricity is expensive, running a gas vehicle will be equivalent or even less costly than an EV. However, as more drivers switch to EVs, particularly in areas where it's cheaper to run them, demand for gas will shrink. Suppliers will...

Strangely enough, Tesla is the best selling brand in Scandinavia where multiple studies have come out debunking some media spin that EVs don't work well in the cold. This situation in Chicago is definitely worth investigating.

Yes, their transportation system is very good, at least the MRT (metro) which they're expanding. But it's quite slow compared to a scooter. What takes me 15 mn to reach takes 45 mn by public transport. We cab everywhere for the convenience, rather than walk 15 mn to the nearest MRT station...

I wish but we're the renters...:( I drive a scooter, much easier to get around because traffic can be debilitating even with entry car prices starting at 140k..:confused:

I left California for Singapore. Here max income tax rate is 15%, no tax on anything else, a trader's dream, right? Except, a car costs price + 100% import duty tax + $80k COE tax (road usage fee, yes, you read that right). Yet, the city/country is filled with exotic and opulent cars. You...

Completely agree with that statement.

You have to replace things in context. Amazon's model didn't exist before and governments (fed and states) weren't equipped to deal with the novelty. Their interest was to put people to work and Amazon was hiring massively. In exchange they gave the company tax advantages and Amazon took...

What's wrong with being wealthy? Jeff Bezos built Amazon from nothing, spent 15 years as the laughing stock of the financial market before finally making profits to where it is today. In the process he has employed over 1.6 million people and created 40,000 millionaires. He has my respect!

Thank you for your reply, and we have. My spouse has just signed up for an account and funding the account with a shares transfer from TD Ameritrade to IBKR. Awaiting the process to complete.

Actually, you will be surprised. I think the 2 (if that's the name) will actually be profitable, at least more so than traditional auto manufacturers. But yes, agreed with everything you wrote.

That a year and half ago, it seemed for you unrealistic to say that Tesla would sell 2.5 million vehicles by end of 2025. Simple, no?

SunTrader said: more Teslas on earth than people in the not too distant future. VicBee replied: Tesla made a million cars in the last 28 months without its 2 new factories. I think it's safe to suggest it will make and sell 2.5 million in 2025. #7 Jul 20, 2022 SunTrader replied: Then they will...

You spent years comparing Tesla to GM and Ford, that's why I keep coming back to them. I take it that competition with auto manufacturers is done with, particularly with US manufacturers who are struggling to build EVs for many reasons. This means you finally acknowledge Tesla isn't...

I don't even know what you're saying

Again, you make it so easy. Just go to macrotrends.net, it will give you everyone to compare Tesla with. To make it easy, net profit margins as of 09/30/23. F 3.54% GM 5.83% TSLA 11.21%

You're the archetypal TSLAQ. So easy to debunk. You've spent all of 2023 and earlier to dismiss its achievements, from production to sales numbers and profit margins. Yet again, you've be wrong. Tesla is doing just fine. You're not all wrong though. My 300 year end didn't materialize, so...
