  1. Can't Tesla fund their own loans? (high interest, demand impact, etc)

    There was a time some years ago when Ford Credit was the only profitable part of the company. Captive financing arms are definitely a part of the auto business. It's not something you want to do as a lean startup, but it's certainly part of a fully mature auto industry Juggernaut.

  2. Bought TSLA stock today

    You're looking exclusively at the trend, and ignoring the absolute price of TSLA's stock. You should estimate what you think the absolute price of TSLA's stock should be, and then determine if the market price is over/under what it should be -- and also look at the trend. Looking exclusively...

  3. Bought TSLA stock today

    I predict that Tesla-the-business will grow (with some bumps and drama along the way), while TSLA-the-stock collapses. The cars are great, and they'll sell a lot of them. They already do. Also, Tesla-the-business raised capital (via stock offerings) during the TSLA stock bubble, which was a...

  4. Bought TSLA stock today

    This is all true, but it's an evaluation of Tesla-the-business - and not TSLA-the-stock. For a lot of business-stock pairs, this distinction isn't important. But it is important for Tesla/TSLA. TSLA-the-stock is a separate question, because the price of the stock has been inflated to dozens...

  5. Elon Talks Economy, Possible Discounting, Demand Issues, Stock Sales, and TSLA on on Twitter Spaces

    Just to hammer on the previous point a little, consumer debt wasn't wiped out during the Great Depression, except by the relatively civilized process of bankruptcy. Bankruptcies just happened much more frequently than they would have in a functioning society whose economy did not suffer a...

  6. Things they don't tell you about owning an EV.

    That joke was funny when Weird Al did it in 1989: It's less funny now, though, because I've heard so many people mock the R/L ambiguity in prejudiced/derogatory ways in the decades since 1989. In Weird Al's case, though, the joke is somewhat redeemed by those in the closet being exactly the...

  7. Elon Talks Economy, Possible Discounting, Demand Issues, Stock Sales, and TSLA on on Twitter Spaces

    I'm not old enough to remember the 1970s. I have seen some of the echos of that era, and most of the relics I saw from the 1970s hadn't aged well by the 1990s.

  8. Tesla removes ultrasonic sensors from new Model 3/Y builds, soon Model S/X

    The ultrasonic backup sensors on my GMC Sierra become useless when almost anything is in the receiver hitch. They have a prominently located physical button to turn them off for those times when they're worse than useless - which is pretty much whenever you're carrying external cargo. It...

  9. small red orb in the AI Day 2022 invite teaser is not a red marble. It is a red pill !

    I don't see what you're referring to when I scrub around in the video. Can you provide a screen grab? Usually glowing red orbs for AI are the HAL-eye: HAL is from Urbana, Illinois - because of course he is.

  10. FSD price increases to $15k September 5th

    Define screwed? Y'all are assuming that FSD is a sure-thing, that there's a 100% chance that FSD will meet the hype. I feel there's a good chance that FSD will never match the hype, and so I apply the Expected Value equation: expected_value_of_FSD = chance_of_FSD_success * fsd_value_to_you if...

  11. Will Rivian Make It?

    That's the historic reason for those types of wraps. But, in modern times, I perceive that prototypes can be camouflaged for multiple reasons: To cover over unfinished parts of the vehicle. (usually black, with big visible pads over obviously-missing parts of the vehicle.) To cover unreleased...

  12. Will Rivian Make It?

    Rivian has a fine product. I'm a fan of it, even though the (currently nonexistant) CT has better stats than the (currently on sale) R1T. The R1T is a great truck, and they'll sell as many of them as they can make up until they get to Toyota Tacoma and Jeep Grand Cherokee volumes.

  13. Some Interesting Charging Options added to Tesla App and Wall Connector

    My 1998 Ford Ranger was recalled for spontaneous ignition fires. They added a fuse to the wiring harness under the hood.l to prevent fires. Turns out that carting around 20 gallons of a flammable volatile liquid is as dangerous as it sounds. We-as-a-society have gotten pretty good reducing...

  14. Some Interesting Charging Options added to Tesla App and Wall Connector

    Fire prevention while fueling with gasoline is a big fucking deal. All vehicles need to be grounded while fueling, to prevent sparks from igniting the fuel vapor. Fuel traveling through a rubber hose generates static electricity. The fact that most automobile drivers can refuel without...

  15. No Resale on the Lightning

    Ye be defending the legitimate art of aaarbitrage!?!?!? // My favorite pirate-economics-themed dad-joke. Pirates have a bit of a an edge (a saber's edge) to ensure they make the "buy low" part of "buy low, sell high" happen. No matter how they come about their cargo, I'm sure any pirate would...

  16. Will Tesla go up to $700 or go down to $600, this week?

    As you say, the price for TSLA stock is clearly set by supply & demand. The question is: what is driving that demand, and is it sustainable? Most investing talk implicitly assumes that stock prices are based on future profits & growth. According to these models, TSLA stock is wildly...

  17. Will Tesla go up to $700 or go down to $600, this week?

    From my observations lately, TSLA-the-stock looks like a good candidate for support-and-resistance trading. The stock is highly volatile and trades in a presictable-ish range. This isn't the kind of trading I'm doing at this time, but I can easily see it working for someone else - until it...

  18. Will Tesla go up to $700 or go down to $600, this week?

    What do you think an appropriate price for TSLA-the-stock is, and why? Remember that it's possible for Tesla-the-business to be great shape while TSLA-the-stock is mispriced (because of the public enthusiasm for Tesla-the-product and Elon-Musk-the-personality).

  19. Will Tesla go up to $700 or go down to $600, this week?

    I predict that TSLA go to both $600 and $700 this week. I just don't know when, or in what order. It's a volatile stock. If you can predict which one will happen on which day, congratulations you win the stock market! If you can't predict that, have a look at boring investments (like...

  20. SpaceX employees denounce CEO Musk as 'distraction': letter [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]

    How's that working out for Harley Davidson?
