Tesla stock

haters...drive a Tesla, or better yet own one....you will change your mind

 

As a connected car, Tesla's will be very expensive to maintain if Tesla fails. RichRebuilds is ramping up.

 

They do make a wicked berry pie that I missed during the interim.

 

LOL if you think there aren't some serious backstops to this stock. A big oversight of the vast majority of shorts. Keep in mind that they had no problem at all getting the funding they needed just a couple weeks ago. Has anything changed? There are so many heavy hitters that backstop this (honestly probably well above current market valuations).

 

Tesla's own (from the mouth of Musk) stance has changed publicly. From fresh roses to withered weeds. Why didn't Musk share the 10-month austerity campaign prior to after the funding round? I think we all know...

Watch the volume today. The volume spiked at the open as the value tanked, and now it is low.

oh no! they must be going oob! the sky is falling! sell quick!

 

I'm a chronic early adopter. I can't tell the number of alfa versions of products I've played with. Got the t-shirts to prove it.

I thought I wanted a Tesla. I came within a click of ordering a $57k 3.

But I just settled on a $41k hybrid.

Why? Service availability. Utility. Predictability. I've bought/owned many cars in their first few months of production. Sentra, Horizon, 914. Each an owner's nightmare. Each sold before the warranty expired. Only the first year Prius v was as one would expect.

Now Tesla stories of 2012-3 S models no longer supported with reasonable repair costs. Declining sales. Backlog declining.

 

doesn't seem to be stopping anybody. else.

but rome wasn't built in a day, all things tesla will continue to improve, as they have done over the last decade plus.

oh, and don't believe everything you read, there's a lot of lies mixed with a little truth.

 

Back to the TSLA success story. Volume above average as the ship settles.

 

With the iPhone Apple has squeezed every supplier and the assembler to the point where, approximately, no one makes a profit except Apple. Good for them. However, getting a new EV industry up and running I don't think we want that same situation -- one where suppliers aren't making any profit.

I hope I qualify.

The story was that Tesla had a huge backlog and was ramping up production numbers in 2018. Behind schedule, but in Q3 and Q4 they finally got up to high numbers of deliveries per week. Great.
And then Q1 2019 it couldn't be sustained and there were big losses. Oops. That told everyone there were not going to the moon so quickly.

But there were some possibly good reasons for the Q1 miss. Primarily, making cars and filling up ships with them and sending overseas. Reasonably, one could accept that this is a one time blip and once the pipeline is filled results more like Q4 will happen again.

But then Tesla went and got more funding. This means that internal to Tesla they know that they need the money and Q2 is not going to be like Q4.

Need explanation of the vertical scale: what units, and what range it's going up/down through?

 

01/01/19 $310. > 05/20/19 $205.

 

That’s a huge drop!

 

At least while I wait for the stock to go back up I get to drive the best car ever made. That's invaluable to me.

Also, I've seen it posted in another forum: If Tesla fails money isn't going to matter very long into the future anyway.

 

Interesting....

No other solar or EV efforts count except for Tesla, and it they're miss-managed (as they seem capable of doing from time to time....) then it's time to start stocking up on .22LR rounds and MREs??

I think that's hardly the case.

 

...just be careful...I do not do stock trading due to lack of stomach...but i have seen the story before...where a stock goes up so some people feel they make a lot of money buying when it goes down....but there sometimes comes a day when it don't go back up

 

if you're going to invest, dollar cost averaging is your best bet, no matter the company.

 

'morgan stanley claims tesla could drop to ten bucks in a doomsday scenario, jim cramer calls m/s insane attention seekers.'

 

Tesla seems to be the only company that is doing anything at scale. No other EV effort is anything but a compliance move at this point, as shown by their numbers. I really do hope that changes, but we will see.
