I was there yesterday and everything was fine so assuming something occurred or a threat was made. I also passed a huge Tesla Service station yesterday on my way to an event and there was No police presence there.

We need to have much stiffer penalties for this type of violence.

I’m not a Tesla cars fan but most of my neighbors have 1 or more and they should not be afraid to drive a car. If it’s your wife or daughter - I would be really worried if they were on their own with all the mental deranged ppl out there.

The CEO has a fiduciary duty to the company and its shareholders. Musk has betrayed that duty, I'm sorry to say. With the Highland, Juniper and upcoming products, Tesla should be killing it. Instead Tesla is getting killed.

That’s your opinion.
Most Tesla shareholders support him.

Not according to the price YTD. And yes, I am a long time shareholder and early adopter. On our 2nd Tesla.

Tell me 1 of the big tech stocks that is not down YTD?

Should Meta get rid of Zuckerberg as the stock was around $73x in Feb and then dropped about $180 after that. Maybe he is spending too much time doing jujitsu and attending UFC fights.

Tesla had a huge jump last year - it came back down just like everything else. It went up by a higher % and it drooped by a higher % compared to the other tech stocks, which is what USUALLY happens with Tesla.

Some people are just like that. Not politics, just stating a fact but Trump sleeps 4 hours a night and I don't think it can be disputed that he's got the energy of a 40 year old.

Elon may be the same way. Isn't he on the spectrum?

Today was green so thats good.

End of Q1 is soon, and inventory of 25 MY suddenly dropped off a clip. A week ago, many urban locations showed plenty of Performance MY selling for less then the LRs.

Now we are seeing near zero units and mostly demo units. Color me impressed.

Would you say a lot of of what makes Tesla, Tesla are the unadvertised and behind the scenes advising, engineering talent that Tesla has amassed?

I don't follow stocks that closely (too risky for me...5-10% at most of our money) but it seems like Tesla is remaining somewhat stable, all things considering.

I think they'll be fine. These professors vandalizing them, imagine having tenure at some University you've taught at for 25 years and getting fired and your reputation completely ruined. LOL.

The comparison between Zuckerberg and Musk is nonsensical.

As I said, facts dont matter. Deliveries always end up in a stock price slide. What we shall see is how bad is bad.

Really?! - Zuckerberg was public enemy #1 a few years back with continued controversy and testifying in front of Congress numerous times. Do a Google search on how many times ppl were calling for Zuckerberg to step down. How easy we forget and now he is cool / gold chain wearing Zuck 😂

Musk not long ago was our Tony Stark / Iron Man and could do no wrong 🤷‍♂️

Stop letting media influence your emotions - it’s all a game.
