Found the bootlick.

Listening? LOL. The Great Wall of Indifference is currently where it’s at in corporate America. Corporations need to be MADE to do what it right.  They just are not going to get there on their own.

To make positive gross margin on their cars vs. variable and fixed costs, they need to reach a certain manufacturing level. That’s because they allocate their fixed costs across the number of cars produced (variable costs are directly allocated).

Except that they have been profitable recently, and before that they were reinvesting revenue in the company for the supercharger network, model launches and production capacity improvements, and technology.

You mean like they turned a profit during Q1 2020? And Q4 of 2019? And Q3 of 2019... They almost did so in Q2 and had COVID not happened almost certainly would.

IDK. I think the stock market has tesla right in theory. The value of Tesla is not in the now, Musk’s made that abundantly apparent, the value is the future. The value in Ford/GM/FCA is short term and their shit product offering for the future shows.

Whether you personally agree on the stock price is moot.  

Well duh.

Sold our house, paid off my car with some of the profit, and literally the next day was getting calls from dealers practically begging me to come in and buy a 2020 model. No, y’all. Just... no.

So immediately after we’re “told” that the recession is over...people weren’t trampling over themselves cash in hand to buy a new car?!? You’d have to know zero about the economy, business in general, vehicles, and lack common sense to think the shite storm wasnt gonna magically end on the June 1st

With production coming back online but consumer confidence down (way down) and incomes also down (also way down) they will soon have a glut of inventory and will probably be putting thousands on the hood just to move them. If you are secure in your job and current vehicle, I’d just wait them out.

Time to take your bets, people:

Actually, this is probably the most neutral article I’ve seen from Shillings on Tesla, to the point I think he’s been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor

$TSLAQ will have their panties in a wad over this, and the stock price.

It stands for ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex, and agender/asexual/ally.’ There is no central source per se, and the terminology is in a constant state of debate and evolution within the community. The + stands for everyone on the gender/sexuality spectrum letters and words cannot…

Nice write-up! Though no Pride Parade would be complete without a Miata-based float. Here’s one from ours in Omaha last year that I quite liked:

Sometimes the rides are more subtle though.

Marketing it as a Mustang is a bold move. Obviously intentional, but I think the intention is to get potential buyers out of the mindset that EVs are slow and boring, even if Tesla has helped move the perception.

There have been rumblings over years to turn Corvette into its own brand so it’s not for lack of trying. I think trading on the Mustang brand to denote good performing, accessibly priced vehicles with a sporting intent as a good move. I’m not offended by the way it looks- I’d drive it (but it’s too small for my SUV nee…

I like this vehicle and am excited they are coming out with it, wish of course like almost everyone else they didn’t use the Mustang name on it. Just could have left it as Mach-E and left “Mustang” out of the equation. But I personally wouldn’t be a first adopter on one, I’d like to see it hit the street and work out…

They’ll do it and then only sell it in overseas markets.
