1) They had 2 profitable quarters even if you subtract the credits. Then the following 2 quarters were a loss due to as I explained going internationally expands the amount of time it takes to get paid (plus in case of Q1, they had to pay off the debt). And they expect to be back to profitability next quarter.

I have never seen anyone live forever, so let us put an end to medication, doctors and the like. (same logic as yours).

That wouldn’t be cash equivalents, that would be “Accounts receivable” which is separate from “Cash and cash equivalents”. But nice try.

I use a more reliable method. I sit in the back seat when I drive!

What nonsense, we all know aliens don’t exist. Why do we know? There is hard proof.

Ever since Musk has said he will compete with Comcast(CNBC’s parent company) in the internet market, CNBC has been coming up with a hit piece on Tesla like almost every month. Many of which have already been proven false.

But I can understand, who’d want to be a Comcast client if you could actually have a viable…

Not exactly. You see, CA has a right to do this. The waiver’s purpose isn’t to grant CA the right, but to insure that CA’s rules are compliant with federal minimums.

Under the Dormant Commerce Clause of the US constitution, states are able to pass laws that are stricter than federal guidelines. But they can’t be less…

The Ford Fusion hybrid hits the MPG targets just fine. That said the issue of the focus is that Ford’s engine isn’t that great for MPG in the first place.

1) It increases the upfront cost, but it lowers cost to own. Unfortunately most people pay attention to sticker price rather than their lifetime costs. But hey, that is how so many people are in debt.
2) Of course having a crises gives incentives to sell better fuel efficiency, but trying to undercut upfront costs also…

I’ll explain it simply. If CA sets their own standards, obviously they will be compliant to CA’s standard as it is too big of a market to give up (plus the 11 other states).

No, it is realistic! The mistake both sides for and against it are making is not explaining what those numbers actually are! You are talking about MPG by 1970s CAFE standard which should not be confused with the MPG you see on your sticker which is the 5 cycle EPA test.

1) Tesla isn’t broke yet, they have over 2 billion, and if they return back to profitability this year, there is no issue.
2) They have been doing plenty of refreshes to the car, Tesla has always followed a policy of releasing things when they are ready, last new improvement was drivetrain and suspension upgrades, here…

What nonsense are you talking about? I find it interesting you jump to making personal attacks first instead of actually pointing out any inaccuracies in anything I said.

But CEO is the face of the company... again, Musk is doing fine as CEO, what he is missing is a COO. Which means Musk ends up doing the work of both which isn’t helping. Just like Tim Cook was the COO of Apple.

They do pilot runs, but let us be honest, there is a reason it isn’t recommended to buy 1st year production models. Because pilots can’t find every issue that might happen.

Uhm, Jobs had the CEO role... maybe you meant to say getting a COO?

Uh, but they are redesigning their models... they just had an update a short while ago with the motor and suspension. All he is saying is there won’t be a refresh where everything is redone from ground up, kind of like the roadster. But instead they will roll out changes over time as they have been doing.

Not sure what you are talking about, but Model S and X are being updated, they just got updated recently even. All he is saying is that there won’t be a “refresh” but instead changes will be rolled in as they are ready.

What exactly does it explain?

The taycann is a model 3 performance competitor, not really a Model S competitor. Different class of cars with different usage.
