I can’t believe anyone is calling this human ‘idol,’ regardless of her side eye skills.

It’s the taking of deposits on the next vehicle model (and $500 deposits for $5 flame throwers) in order to pay for the ever increasing losses in manufacturing and delivering the current model (not to mention failure to deliver the current model), and the heavy reliance on government grants, loans, and tax credits to…

Ah yes, the long history of Ponzi schemes being undone through the sun-setting of a Federal tax credit.

I was thinking a circa-2004 Nokia flip...

No screen, you have to pair the car to your phone.

The center screen will be downgraded to an iPad mini secured with duct tape.

Yeah, what are they going to do, remove more stuff from the interior to make it even more “simple”?

I highly doubt they will lower the price of the car, its not like they were adding $7,500 to the price just to take advantage of the rebate. Maybe they did on the S, but the 3 is so cheap already I doubt they have wiggle room to shave $7,500 off.

Instead of relying on the Governor, Albany and all the taxpayer’s of NY State to design, fund and build your subway system, why doesn’t NYC fund and design it themselves? As you like to point out constantly, you make all the money in NY and are smarter than everybody else. Seems like a no brainer. Don’t rely on the…

And every time Amazon paused their expansion during those 9 years, you saw profits start coming in pretty quickly. But they kept focusing on exponential expansion which masked that every new business they got into was fairly quickly profitable, but overwhelmed by expansion costs. On the other hand, every time Tesla…

While I appreciate that they investing their money into R&D.......Even if you exclude that....they still have an operating loss of 243m. I’ll even ignore the interest expense as im sure you would say that “without the R&D activity they would need less debt and less interest would accrue.” So here we are, left with a…

God I love comments like this. You are trying to pass yourself off as an expert in finance yet you either did not read or did not understand the shareholder letter and the other SEC filings. Subtracting the 354 million in R&D and TSLA still loses 150 million from the business of selling cars and energy products. SO no…

How did they get back up to $350?

Yes majorly different than what Amazon did. Amazon was cash flow positive. TSLA not cash flow positive. Amazon using money they made internally to fund growth. TSLA uses money from outside to fund growth. AWS extremely high margin business. Entry level luxury car not high margin business. AWS fairly low capital…

If it was “easy”, they would have made profits. They released more products and lost even more money.

And that one profitable quarter was the result of selling off five years worth of accumulated carbon credits. Not by selling their products.

except it’s not a reasonable explanation. Tesla doesn’t have enough revenue from their higher priced models to pay for the 3. They have billions of fund-raised investor cash instead

Tesla just pushed back Delivery for ( non previous Tesla owners) from Dec-Feb to March-May... according to Tesla model 3 roadtrip guy.

Sorry, it’s late. My gripe is that NASAs insistence on relying on the STS at the cost of other programs such as the DCX means that every launch after the DCX program was ended could’ve saved a lot of budget for not just NASA but for businesses that used launch facilities, for the Air Force, for any National recon…

Hmmm, decades ago we had something called the Space Shuttle. It used rocket motors and landed on the ground too. It even used, gasp, computers! Go IBM AP-101s for the GPC data processing!
