Tesla to $600. What's up with that?

[nursebee]

@Scataphagos on suicide watch. TSLA +11%. Blowout earnings.

Is he short?

Every Jaguar I-Pace has been recalled with no real short term fix in sight for it's regenerative braking system.

Big surprise there.
Brits, Jags, and anything electrical... they just don't mix. F'n junk.

"Why do Brits drink warm beer?"
"... Lucas Electronics".

(No offense Turv )

I was a Tesla doubter until I saw the plurality of Major ICE Automakers fail miserably at EV’s up to this point in time. No clear thinking person could rationally argue against the fact that Tesla has a huge jump on EV competitors. I’m stunned that the Germans and the Japanese look to be left behind. It’s possible that Tesla and Rivian will permanently redefine the automotive landscape.

it's starting to look a bit bitcoiny isn't it?

I watched half of that video, and basically they have turned an iphone into a car and hope you will drive your phone around. Electric vehicles will work...In cramped cities where you only need to drive 5 miles to work. I cannot imagine this thing on the BQE in a traffic jam during rush hour when you have only 1/2 your juice left.

You run out of power on a major NYC artery in this piece of shit? Will not be a pleasant day.

In fairness, how often do you run out of gas and don't plan to refill accordingly? Sure the 137 mi range is the pits, but I rarely push my gas tank to empty. There really isn't much that will go wrong w/an electric, so the risk of being stranded for a reason other than an empty battery are much lower.

Am looking at Ceres Power rather seriously ATM $CPWHF

Your opinion doesn't move markets. I really don't have any dog in this fight, but every manufacturer that has attempted to compete with Tesla has failed spectacularly at it up to this date - including the Chinese State subsidized manufacturer Nio. Every Volkswagen/Audi Eon SUV has been recalled. Multiple times. Every Jaguar I-Pace has been recalled with no real short term fix in sight for it's regenerative braking system.

Dyson spent $3.1B to learn that they did not want to get into the EV market.

Porsche has brought to market the Taycan 4S model at a $104K base price point in order to compete with Tesla - problem is, the Taycan 4S has range and acceleration that is not only less than the Tesla Model S, but less than the Tesla Model 3.

Kia just came out with it's Niro model, but it has very limited availability and build quality that's worse than Tesla's. The base model Nissan Leaf has only 150 miles of range. Honda's EV is available in only two US States. Toyota is still developing battery cells.

It's no secret that the recent UAW strike on GM was precipitated largely by the Union's legitimate concerns that EV's could cost the UAW 35,000 jobs. (there's at least 40 percent less parts in an EV as compared to an ICE vehicle) GM delivered 5,000 Bolts in Q319 and has made it widely known that they will be transitioning aggressively into the EV space. Rivian in Detroit has very deep pockets backing it (including Amazon and Ford), and will start truck deliveries this year. It's widely known that Rivian will be a legitimate game changer in the light, medium, and heavy truck markets.

Tesla's plant in Berlin was essentially paid for by European ICE manufacturers buying carbon credits from Tesla.

Right now - Tesla is really, really far ahead of everyone else in the EV space.

Another thing, and I don't know if it was mentioned yet in this thread as I kinda just breezed through it... but along with all of TSLA's physical innovations like the drive-train etc... they own about a quadrillion (squared) bits of data.

All those cars out there are collecting a digital manifestation of every imaginable scenario and beaming it back to the mother-ship. TSLA's database is literally a goldmine as AI and autonomous vehicle development presses on. The lead they have there is unmatched by any competitor. Its impossible to assign a value to that, but its worth a lot.

About the only thing that is going to strand an EV is running out of juice. And monitoring battery power is easy. All kinds of gremlins strand tens of thousand of ICE vehicles every day.

Which is why the Japanese have been and now the Germans are really into Hybrids.

My opinion of Tesla from reading about them is that, "they make crappy, low quality cars with lots of problems.... at too high a price and prone to crashing on auto-pilot and bursting into flame". (The Chinese have a saying... "Don't park your car next to a Tesla".)

Not the kind of car I'd consider buying...

So... what's up with the blast up to $600? (One hedge fund manager guy claimed he was "shorting TSLA down to zero". That seems more logical than "to the moon".)

You're literally the perfect fade.

You're literally the perfect fade.

If that' what you believe, you're literally FULL OF CRAP!
