After reading the last few posts by $Dreen$, I should probably exclude him from 'us'!

$Green$: Just curious why you think that FSD will never be given the go ahead? Is it because it is an inferior product to Waymo and Cruise, or is it because of politics>

$Green$: Which company do you think will be around in late 2024?

Ford? Really? Tesla doomed? 🤣🤣🤣

Some free advice: F is planning to re enter the market when Enterprise customers (Corporate Fleets etc.) are ready to fully adopt EV. They are playing it smart. The grid where I live in one of the largest metro area in the US and the world, cannot even handle the amount of chargers needed. The automotive industry is heading into recession now. The trucking industry will not be ready to invest in EV for a LONG while. There will be an opportunity to invest in the future of EV somewhere in the midst of the recession, in buying F stock. When it’s over, Tesla will merely be a niche product while the F dominates EV sales with numbers Tesla couldn’t dream of due to being handed enterprise customers through political means

The vast majority of automotive accidents involve two parties and to vehicles. When a Tesla FSD is involved in an accident in the vast may of those accidents the other party would be responsibly and guilty.

With the DOJO computer and the DOJO hardware and software in the care, the vast majority of accidents will be the other parties fault. That is a FACT.

GOD bless,

This pumping scammer article is just using the word “reportedly” in order to make up a completely unverified and fraudulent story to pump the stock

Gap n crap again lol

Who would be the responsible party if the car causes damage or injury in FSD mode? The person behind the wheel? Or Tesla? Not that full FSD will ever be given the go ahead, but just wondering anyways

This should be why the sky should fall on EVs! They go out of control due to electromagnetic radiation. Do you really want to be in a vehicle that can suddenly speed up, steer you off the road, and possibly kill you/burn you alive with little you can do about it? Then if you do survive you could arrested and charged because your car malfunctioned hurting others.

Another out of control Tesla tears down the road in China hitting 11 vehicles. November seems to be an interesting month for Teslas doing this in China.

LOL, more MSM FUD about EV's. Some of the points are correct, some are just junk. In 2025 GM, F should reenter the EV market (maybe) with many new and much better models. The sky is not falling, just cloudy for now.

Y and 3 will, CT will just help pile on to that by the end of next year.

Proof of that?

1 Electric Vehicle Stock to Buy Hand Over Fist in December
Motley Fool - Wed Dec 6, 6:45AM CST
If you're looking to invest in electric vehicles (EVs), there's one glaring option available in the market: Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). While other up-and-coming EV makers and legacy companies are starting their transition to an electric fleet, Tesla still stands above its competition in terms of investment quality. It's not a perfect investment, but Tesla is still the top EV stock to buy right now. Here's why.

Its margins have been under pressure recently
Tesla is far and away the leader in the U.S. EV market. In the third quarter, over 313,000 EVs were sold, up nearly 50% from last year. Of those EVs, about half were Teslas. This shows Tesla's dominance, and a new product could widen its lead.

With Cybertruck deliveries now beginning, Tesla has another revenue stream that will be activated after investing a lot of money into its EV truck line. It could also help reverse a concerning trend for Tesla investors.

One of Tesla's biggest advantages over its legacy rivals was its gross margin. Tesla's input costs were much lower than those of its competitors, so it could produce a greater gross profit. However, now that Tesla has slashed prices to stay competitive with other options in a rising interest rate environment, its gross margin has deteriorated to the point where it's nearly in line with traditional automakers.

TSLA Gross Profit Margin (Quarterly) Chart

However, some of the highest-margin vehicles for makers like General Motors and Ford Motor Company are their pickup trucks, which often have gross profits over $10,000 per vehicle. This far outweighs the margins on typical sedans, making it worth paying attention to what kind of profit margins investors can expect from the Cybertruck.

If Tesla can pull off superior margins with its truck, it will receive a much-needed gross margin boost. But even if it doesn't, having a strong pickup offering is key for competing in the U.S. market, as the top three selling vehicles so far in 2023 are the pickup lines from the Big Three in Detroit: Ram, Chevy Silverado, and the Ford F-series. Now that Tesla has a viable option, it could capture some market share as the other three introduce their EV pickups.

But even without pickups in its lineup, Tesla is still doing fine. In Q3, its production numbers were up 18%, and deliveries increased by 27%. But because of price cuts, its revenue only rose by 9% while net income declined by 44%.

Investors will need to keep an eye on prices, but if Tesla can raise prices once interest rates rise, it will clearly demonstrate whether the company has pricing power. If Tesla can exercise this practice, it will solidify the stock as a solid investment. Additionally, Tesla has the upside of full self-driving (FSD) capability on a subscription product that could bring in massive revenue once it's fully built out.

Tesla's stock is incredibly expensive
But many of those points are in the future; what about now? An investment in Tesla is an investment in the future; there's no way around it. The stock's current valuation makes no sense to investors with a short-term mindset.

TSLA PE Ratio Chart

Tesla's 77 times trailing and 75 times forward earnings are incredibly high valuations to pay for any company, let alone an automaker. So if you're looking for a short-term bargain, Tesla isn't your stock.

However, if you think it can raise prices once interest rates decline, capture a chunk of the American truck market, and deploy FSD or other long-shot Tesla technologies, then the valuation makes more sense. Tesla is a five-year investment -- at minimum -- unless something drastic changes with the company.

I still think Tesla is the top EV stock in the market, but you must have a long-term mindset if you're going to invest in it.

Norway union warns it may block Tesla cars meant for Sweden
By: Investing | December 6, 2023

OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's Fellesforbundet, the country's largest private sector labour union, said on Wednesday it could from Dec. 20 start blocking any transport of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) cars meant for the Swedish market.

Swedish unions have taken industrial action against Tesla since October in a bid to force the car manufacturer to sign collective bargaining agreements with mechanics.

"We consider blocking transportation of Tesla cars through Norway to Sweden unless Tesla reaches an agreement with Sweden's IF Metall union," a spokesperson for the Norwegian union told Reuters.

On Tuesday, Denmark's 3F labour union also said it would support the Swedish mechanics by refusing to unload or transport cars made by the U.S. auto company for customers in Sweden.

The Norwegian and Danish unions said their actions would only affect cars that are meant for the Swedish market.

Good fud considering ev sales in US is up 50% from 22 to 23. This is indeed mostly because of Tesla

Gen3 Vehicle line is already built and producing in Texas :) surprise

Here’s why people aren’t buying EVs in spite of price cuts and tax breaks

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2023/11/14/ev-sales-2023-slow-inventory-pile-up/71572499007/

RIGHT NOW, based on yesterday's closing price, TSLA is cheaper than the average stock on my screener. I watch 23 equities. TSLA is 6.4% over its 200 DMA. The average stock is up well over 10%. The highest is PLTR, up over 32%!

It looks like MSM is trying to catch up with us:

EVs are taking over

Sales of passenger EVs are on pace to hit a record 14 million this year, up 36% from 2022. In the US, sales are growing even faster and will be up 50% this year.

Here is indirect evidence that Teslas suffer from Sudden Unintended Acceleration along with proof that other kinds of electric vehicles suffer from SUA.

First thing to do is familarize yourself with this particular out of control accident in China Nov 2022. Here is video footage:

Tesla’s China Factory Sees 30% Annual Sales Jump in November

Tesla has reported a remarkable sales performance in China for the month of November. The company successfully sold 82,432 vehicles that were manufactured from its Giga Shanghai factory. This figure is part of a significant upward trend in Tesla’s sales within the country, notes @Tslachan.

Specific breakdowns of actual production, retail and export numbers are coming soon.


Looking at the broader picture, from January to November, Tesla’s cumulative sales of China-made vehicles reached an impressive total of 853,603 units. This marks a substantial increase of 30.31 percent compared to the same period last year. The surge in sales underlines Tesla’s growing dominance and popularity in the Chinese electric vehicle market, one of the largest and most competitive markets globally.


Looking at Tesla’s sale’s in China last week, there were 3,300 new Model 3 vehicles registered, to go with 14,100 Model Y vehicles. Tesla’s final month of the year is usually when new incentives are released to boost sales numbers.


For now, it looks like Tesla may hit its annual production goal of 1.8 million vehicles, assisted by the Giga Shanghai team, which is busy producing the new Model 3 that’s being sold domestically and for export to Europe and Asia-Pacific.
