I have a hard disagree on that. Just read the data from the horse's mouth: https://ir.tesla.com/static-files/4c1e92d8-a66c-426a-9599-824200a9fa17 There's no reason to spend 40-minutes on a Youtube video when the raw data is easily accessible. ... The sooner you learn to skim through the financial d...
Well, Tesla didn't have a 4Q loss, but it looks like they had to sell the furniture to do it. Revenue is down versus 2018. Oof. Hopefully China can save them, and they just cancel/stop production on anything with gull wing doors. They gotta pick a few key models and go all in on them. No "oof&...
Nice summary of financials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMcnhirmcl4 And the upcoming China factory coming online soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImFEfa3s1UM Lookin good, China factory getting ready to print money, and solar and energy segments are starting to grow rapidly as well, now that...
"Rivian releases video of its electric pickup-truck camper option" https://electrek.co/2019/08/22/rivian-electric-pickup-truck-r1t-camper-option-video/ Powered by the same battery pack that powers the R1T, our camp kitchen is designed to make food prep easy and cooking fun. It features a ...
LMAO you're saying a foreign military liaison visiting the general's HQ is the "the trenches" :roll: I'm saying you're not management material. Ironically instead of fearing all this change, it might just be your future safety net, but first you would need to learn to let go of the rigid ...
I work in the steel industry, producing a semi-finished commercial good that is used in the production of automobiles... What would call that? Rear Echelon? No that's not trenches, I think your definition of trenches is something else. We're not talking about the grunt work that goes into producing...
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/after-seven-roof-fires-walmart-sues-tesla-over-solar-panel-flaws/ Looks like incompetent installers setting up bad wiring. I've had contractors bring in absolute idiots to fix the house before, buncha lazy druggies off the street. You can't do stuff like ...
You watch internet videos and don't even read what I say, whereas I deal with all types of consultants (across the gamut, really) all the time. I'm sure you do, shaking allot of hands, mister "in the trenches but not affiliated in any way" lol. You are watching open propaganda from Tesla,...
Credibility is sort of like a math theorem: If someone can a find a single example where it doesn't hold, the whole thing fails. Seems math is not your forte then, not important for tightening lug-nuts in Detroit I guess. I also note that you don't even respond to what I've quoted, which is damning...
Another interesting angle about VW's current chess moves in Europe, pretty cool stuff: "Volkswagen Has An Opportunity To Bankrupt Top Competitors" https://cleantechnica.com/2019/08/19/volkswagen-has-an-opportunity-to-bankrupt-top-competitors/ At the unveiling of the ID.3, when asked by a j...
This is not from the trenches. This is from a guy who makes a living giving speeches. Quoting the first paragraph of a whole page to make a dismissive one liner as usual, not surprised coming from the peanut gallery. Here's the rest of it: https://sandymunro.net/bio.html In 1978, Sandy joined Ford ...
Great interview with a couple of established automotive experts: https://img.youtube.com/vi/i93VJ1PEp6o/0.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i93VJ1PEp6o - VW's potential lead in the west relative to other legacy manufacturers. - The auto market's challenges posed by the potentially impending recess...
2019 Hyundai Kona EV Thought this might be a nice quick review of what the market looks like this year, Kona and its cousin the E-Nero are on the list: CarWow's top 10 EVs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90a_KXbqfeY A close comparison between the cousins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETR3bSoxnN...
Interesting details about EV traction here by Toyota researchers, pretty neat stuff: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c2c4/a021f8220d063c5b0b16ccabe43207551272.pdf The electric vehicle has the following great advantages for the realization of high-performance traction control. 1) Low Cost —In the ca...
We shouldn't ignore change and change in the EV market isn't something we should ignore either. The EVs currently on the market could easily look like ridiculous toys in just a few years time if one of the various promised battery improvements actually makes it out the lab (if the Samsung rumours a...
You act like we're all anti-EV zealots or something. That's not the case at all. As I've already noted, I'm pro-EV. I'm just not willing to ignore significant practical roadblocks (heh...) to widespread EV adoption That's fine, I agree with this to an extent, there are areas in the country with mis...
If you keep reading (and posting) from obviously slanted sites like Teslarati or InsideEVs, its only a matter of time before the inevitable Tesla-comparisons come out. You gotta stop surrounding yourself with that echo-chamber nonsense if you actually want to get a balanced viewpoint on the world. ...
Then quit attacking me (and other users), and quit preaching exclusively about Tesla. I'm not exclusivity talking about Tesla, you exclusively pick up on it when I post , then constantly push your little short case to get a response, so it naturally drowns out the conversation, Tesla or otherwise, ...
It's not about this or that company, I'm preaching Yeah. We noticed. Yes about progress in trasportation, energy and autonomy, but allot of people don't get it. Just let them get there at their own pace. If someone asks, I'll just point them to EV sites, this is not the place for that knowledge, st...
I think you are taking this way too personally. It’s just a car company. It's not about this or that company, I'm preaching about EV technology in general, and the obvious trend that's happening in big population centers, these things will trickle down to suburban and then rural areas in time, but ...
Give this obvious experiment a try: Go to the BBS for Vogue magazine, start talking about your nice little computer case and the colorful LEDs you put in it, maybe convince someone to try the new AMD chips. The folks there will be confused about your obsession with a silly box, all they know is the ...
I don't believe you have no motivation, you live a life of negativity for no reason? I think you're threatened by the company in some fashion. You're obviously not stupid, I know that much, your negative financial spin and feigned panic is amusing but not disorderly and impulsive. This is hilarious...
Hmm... gonna be a while though, so while waiting, check out this cool Porche EV, that's their answer to the Model S I think: https://thumbnailgrabber.com/image/BJ7dk4smH.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=TP9kokeyxGU Looks awesome. Should bring more awareness to EVs across the w...
Hah. Scared of numbers. Got it. Bored of the dry topic. I wanna talk technology. I have zero interest of concern about the finances for the leader of a rapidly rising niche. I have no shares short, no motivation at all. I don't believe you have no motivation, you live a life of negativity for no re...
I'm trying to correct that. What exactly are you trying to correct here? what is your agenda? Is there a problem with Tesla disappointing random speculators for more than ten years with its unusual business model for automobile sales? Is this going to finally be the year you're gonna be right about...
On a more humorous note: https://insideevs.com/news/364019/stolen-model-s-battery-depleted/ Kinda hard to steal someone's EV when the supercharger access is disabled lol. https://insideevs.com/news/364048/video-tesla-model-s-chase-car-airplane/ Interesting application for the fast acceleration of th...
You said you predicted "exponential" growth in Tesla's near future. What exactly do you mean? $10 Billion revenue in a quarter? Or $15 Billion revenue? And when do you expect it to happen? I predict they will achieve an exponential growth when the Chinese factory is fully online and produ...
Volkswagen, a heavyweight contender, now chimes in with the same talking points: https://electrek.co/2019/08/08/vw-electric-car-parity-soon-tipping-point-ev-adoption/ "We strongly believe that the tipping point is near, and that tipping point will be price equity” The executive believes that Vo...
