One other thing...my coworker thinks there's a large group of people waiting for the new Model Y to come out. I've been following some of his stocks and he's so far been 4 out of 5 👍

 

I thought this was a good advertisement at the mall today:

 

So is an Audi....an S3 with male-oriented XY-chromosomes.

 

That is a very good ad I like it

 

There are certainly a number of contributers. Off the top of my head:

• Buyers are waiting for the Juniper. The Y has been the #1 selling, or close to, car in the world for the last few years.
• Musk's recent alliances are likely turning off some buyers.
• In September, overall auto sales were forcasted to decline by about 12% YoY.
• The China market... It is hurting everyone who does business there. Ask Porsche...
• Competition from legacy and startup automakers continue to take market share in the overall declining EV market.

 

What declining market are referring to? EV sales have grown by 11 percent YoY. Of course BYD produced the most, but that's still EV's

 

Tesla sales declined slightly from last year, but I'm sure you know that.

 

Yes, by 1.1 percent. I was referring to the overall market, which has continued to grow. Is 1.1 percent concerning? Not yet, but Tesla has it's work cut out for it

 

Elon originally wanted the Model 3 to be the Model E to make that spell SEX(this was before the Y). IIRC Ford already had a trademark on Model E so they couldn't do it.

 

can sense your glee while writing that.

'china' is a problem only in china right now.

'competition' to tesla in north america is really only hyundai/kia/genesis.

about tesla's product line, a major upgrade to their best selling model is coming soon but i'm sure you know that. and if they can get robo taxi going they will have no competition.

i don't see their X/S as their focus, but i'm sure there will be updates at some point.

but the line up isn't far off 'complete'

mainstream sedan
big sedan
mainstream suv
bigger suv
truck

 

I remember reading this too

 

Y'all still think Tesla is a car company.

 

Because thats what it is lol

 

EDS will cause you to miss out

 

I just want to say this if someone thinks Tesla is "just a car company": tell me one car company that comes close to Tesla's market cap. One company that has successfully built vertical integration and almost fully eliminated outside supply chains. That is able to build and sell cars at a cheap price and have their profit margins. That builds their own software, batteries and components fully inhouse. That are energy companies. That are building AI clusters to train self driving. That are building 18 wheeler trucks. All since 2008. I haven't even scratched the surface.

If you think Tesla is just a car company, that's 100 percent you're right. But you are 100 percent wrong
