How will they make lots of money soon if they are now making the most money they'll ever make with the expensive Model 3s and even so they lose money?

When they get to the cheap ones what the gently caress is gonna happen?

I mean poo poo you don't have to be a genius to understand this, is this the kind of bullshit hedge fund managers do with pension money?

The $35k model is still complete vaporware. It has not existed and is very likely to never exist.

Like do you need any more proof even in the PayPal days he was nothing but a glorified code monkey?

BioMe posted:

Right, for some reason I though he had a formal education since even the critics seem to give him credit for actually having done something hands on with PayPal. I hope he didn't. You'd really have to pity the guy who had to had to clean up after the self-taught genius micromanager with a fragile professional ego.

The tastes of the duke were peculiar. He had a fine eye for colour and effects. He disregarded the 'decora' of mere fashion. His plans were bold and fiery, and his conceptions glowed with barbaric lustre. There are some who would have thought him mad. His followers felt that he was not.

Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his crenellated abbeys.

But, in spite of these things, it was a gay and magnificent revel.

Teslas are famous for being built by scrounging in the parts bins of better car companies. electronic seat controls, steering column, window switches are from Merdeces, HVAC blower from a Kia Optima, gas pedal is from a Ford Fusion, Range Rover steering rack, windshield wiper motor from a giant 18-wheeler(seriously lol).


But apparently they actually build the seats themselves. The seats that need to be jacked up with scraps of wood. the seats that, if you complain about the comfort on tesla forums, they tell you that you're probably sitting wrong. So there is no way they have mechanical controls. No loving way they are capable of engineering that. If the seat needed mechanical controls they'd be taking it from the parts bin of a legitimate automaker.

“The pieces are now falling into place for a sustainable Tesla story. Before, it took mental gymnastics to get there,” said Gene Munster, a managing partner at venture capital firm Loup Ventures. “His actions on the call were a powerful statement that he’s capable of channeling his energy for the good of the company, and it removes a central concern of Tesla supporters.”

you cant actually draw a line between musk being a good boy on the phone and rhe stock going up. these are shot-in-the-datk post-facto analyses

Bloomberg article basically admits that Tesla stock increased by 8% solely because Musk managed to not poo poo himself in public during the the 2018Q2 earnings call, not because anything else about the company is actually different

The electric car company said it lost more than $717.5 million in the second quarter. But its cash burn rate was less than investors expected, and the company had $2.2 billion in cash at the end of the quarter.
