you just seem so convinced of the impending doom to befall tesla that it would be worth putting some money on it. or do you want others to do that?
Why are you insistent that folks loose money shorting the stock for the right to talk negatively about Tesla The good many Journalist that write negative reviews about Tesla as well
because its easy to talk **** about somebody and deride their efforts, while you sit back and keep living your lives in relative obscurity and add very little to forwarding humanity. if you truly have the courage of your convictions, then act on them. if you just take pleasure in monday-morning-quarterbacking and parroting the negative press by more people whose contribution to the planet is minimal, well i have little respect for that.
There's a difference between thinking TSLA won't succeed and thinking TSLA is a good stock to short. The short interest alone should give one pause on the latter.
Will Tesla Have To Pre-Announce A 42% Q1 Sales Miss? Summary We now have sales numbers for January and February for Tesla’s biggest countries, including the US and Europe. For some, we have only January as of yet, but they are remarkably consistent with the ones from whom we also have February numbers. Adding it all up, it’s looking like a 42% shortfall for Tesla. Adding up all geographies, it looks like Tesla sold an estimated 11,548 cars in January and February combined. Can Tesla deliver a similar number - 11,548 - in March alone? If so, the quarter would end at 23,096 units - a 42% shortfall from a 40,000 unit consensus (25,000 Model S and X combined, plus 15,000 Model 3). We all know that Tesla's (TSLA) Model 3 sales have already fallen way behind Tesla's guidance this quarter. Its guidance has been for 400,000 Model 3 units in 2018, for a total of 500,000 units when adding 100,000 from the Model S and X columns. With 1,875 Model 3 units in January and 2,485 in February, the Model 3 already is looking like an epic miss of Olympian proportions. At 2,500 per month, that would be a measly 30,000 a year, or more than a 90% shortfall from the 400,000 per year guidance. Adding insult to injury, Tesla admitted in its February 7 financial report that the Model 3 has negative gross margin even at a selling price that's currently starting at $50,000. One certainly understands the company's reluctance to start selling the $36,000 version. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4153066-will-tesla-pre-announce-42-percent-q1-sales-miss
This would be detrimental in 99% of the time but Tesla will prevail as far as the stock valuation is concerned. The most interesting underlying fact is they are running a negative gross margin on the Tesla 3. That is suppose to be a profitable car. Anyways wish them luck in the long run
My friend cancelled his order for his Model 3 after getting updates with more delays. He was surprised they refunded his deposit within a week of the cancellation.
they have nearly 500k orders already, so your friend's cancellation just allowed them to deliver another person's car a day earlier.....
Lol that's pretty bad if it's 1 car delivered per day to shift someone up a day. I figured it would move the line up a few minutes at most since their goal is 5,000 units a week by end of Q2.
i was just being sarcastic to make the point that your friend's order retraction will not amount to much at all in the big scheme of things.
How long ago was this ? Or maybe they are not in your end of the state yet ? Locally they have an office in Clermont http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/technology/tech_check/os-solar-city-florida-expansion-20161201-story.html
spoke to them today. they can deliver the power wall, but the tiles wont be available in naples until 2019. on the other hand he priced them out for me and they are ridiculously expensive......
Depending on what your HOA allows they are alternatives Maybe this can be more cost effective https://electrek.co/2017/04/09/tesla-solar-panel-panasonic/
Although it's not exactly on par with the Model X this new Jag looks impressive https://www.jaguarusa.com/all-models/i-pace/index.html Base price $69,500
I had the chance to drive a Model 3 the other day, and I was really impressed. It feels like a small luxury car (as it should), as opposed to an expensive economy car (see: Bolt). It feels very light and nimble. However, the most remarkable thing, to me, is the HVAC system...
"Some dealers disagree. Franchised dealers repair vehicles and advocate on behalf of consumers with their manufacturers, especially on warranty work and recalls. Franchised dealers are often called upon to advocate to on behalf of their customers. Consider the "lemon law" suit filed by physician Robert Montgomery in the state of Wisconsin. His $94,770 Tesla Model S was out of service for 66 days with a number of issues. His vehicle had to be taken to Chicago for repair because Tesla is not required to have on-site repair facilities. After three demands to Tesla to buy back his vehicle went unanswered, Montgomery's attorney, Vince Megna, stated he believes that the Tesla's restrictive sales agreement is designed to thwart lemon-law suits and that Tesla's policies make it tougher for dissatisfied customers take action because Tesla doesn't have to follow state rules." http://www.syracuse.com/opinion/index.ssf/2018/03/syracuse_car_dealer_teslas_sales_model_is_bad_for_consumers_your_letters.html
https://www.autoblog.com/2018/03/13/vw-24-billion-ev-battery-orders/ VW is spending 34 Billion on EV's and will launch 80 new electric cars by 2025 and expand to 300 electric cars by 2030
Of course dealers disagree! Why wouldn't they. All car manufacturers have various horror stories about cars being lemons or out of service for a long time. Read about the IMS bearing issues on Porsches, or any of a number of issues on BMWs and Mercedes... and let's not even start on Cadillac or Lincoln.
can you clarify this? 80 new electric MODELS? ok, maybe, but then 300 electric MODELS? by 2030? something seems off there.
