Seems like Tesla have only sold 36 Semis thus far. Elon estimated 50k being made in 2024 a few years ago.

​​​​​Customers are turning to other electric trucks. A complete failure thus far. I would love to see how much has already been spent for development.

2 Years to make 36 Semis is ridiculous. No other way to slice it. Before it was battery constraints. Batteries are cheaper and more available now so what's holding up further production?

I have no idea. Sales? Maybe it's not ready for prime time? Dunno

As a shareholder you can submit questions, clarity on Semi is a good one to ask.

i imagine a tesla factory a bit like a keystone cops movie...

"something bad over here, all get here now!"
" no wait, something bad over there, all go over there now!"

i assume the semi 'production' is resource starved as tesla is trying to do a lot of things at once.
good luck getting solar roofing from them

I would laugh at that, but I can't, because I'm 40 percent down....

That's my only savings grace, I've been holding the majority since 2020, so I'm still way up. I have a small chunk that I picked up for about $190

Wall Street completely turned their back on EV stocks and piled into Nvidia.

Two major catalysts coming up one big one gargantuan. The earnings call where Elon may or may not clarify anything. And the shareholder vote to reinstate Elon's comp package. If the 2nd doesn't happen then I expect the stock to become more or less worthless.

If someone made a list of all the pie in the sky projections that musk made that never came true, it would be a doozy. The guy's basically a marketing tool.
