A conversation I had about TSLA (Tesla Motors):
their real value is about $35
and thats giving them credit for their name solely
factor in their debt
they are worth $0
just wait till volvo chevy ford toyota honda hyundai etc etc etc gets their ev's out
tesla is going to 0
yeah they had that 2 years ago (electric ford F150)
its just a prototype
once that all comes online in 2020's tesla is done
i'v said that for years
why i'm long ford
good yield safe good sales
wallstreet is just dumb
2020
thats wht they said 4 years ago
like you swap ford and tesla stocks
that shows more reality
tesla has no business being so highly valued
ford does
so i short them when they breach 350~
and i load up on more ford under 7
which is stupid cheap
its like handing you 7% yield for free
no one wants an EV
thats why tesla fails
its still shitty technology
nikola tesla never wanted a battery powered car
he envisioned wireless electricity
no reason to stop
now you are talking
so everyone who knows nikola tesla hates tesla motors
they stole his name
and made it into a shitty battery company
over 50% of pre orders cancel
so he can't even sell to the people who pre ordered lol hows he gonna sell to the masses
the average consumer buys a used car
7/10 cars purchased in 2017 were used
only 3/10 people buy new
which is directly in line with sales you expect the big boys to have
thats why they have service centers
thats where the bulk of the money comes in
ford makes more money doing brakes than selling new cars
another reason tesla will fail
ICE is FAR more complicated
soo many more parts that wear out
so it needs more maintence
but its still cheaper in the long run atm
timing belts although cheap af wear out relatively fast
that alone makes more money for ford
EV has none of that
so unless the wheels are falling off theres not much maintence
good for the long term consumer except that the battery bank dies in 6 years
so its $12k every 6 years
who wants that
they are morons
if they were a lambo of ev
theyd be rich
make a $1.2mln car
5x the battery capacity
super elite insanity mode
0-200 in 6 seconds
they went after the wrong market
they could have comfortably made enough
never have any issues
and sold to rich ppl
who don' care it only has a 50 mile range
you know a lambo at 200 mph only can go 50 miles right
you run out of gas
lol
no one cares
if you can afford a lambo you don't give 2 shits
they shoulda scaled upward that was what the founders did
the roadster was sold to elite VC type ppl
then enron musk decided no we are gonna compete with honda
fucking moron
ppl would pay $2mln for a tesla
no one will pay $50k for one
the x is stupid af
i drove one
it was the most bad ass car ever
the model s sucks
the roadster was so much better
their only good car was the roadster
back when tesla had its founders still
and i had faith in them
nah
the roadster was a coup
the s is a sedan
thus s
4 door
not 2 door roadster
the founders were going the way i suggested
make a high end car
make a higher end model of that
perfect it
earn billions
then go to the mass market
enron musk took over the board
and changed that all
the roadster is far superior and w/ today's tech would be even more far superior
theres no reason for the back 3 seats
that was meant to be battery space
enron musk isn't an engineer and is a moron
he doesn't even get simple shit
he put 1 AA in a car that needs 8 D batteries
the roadster was the only good model they ever had
who wants a fucking sedan thats over $100k
do i need to point you to silicon valley
in case you forgot
so then he tried to do that with the X suv
which NO ONE fucking wants
hes a fucking moron
hes stupider than stupid
which is moron
he coulda just made a $500k version
and made a fortune for the investors
pay down his loans and debt
and be competing with lambo
and the new roadster would have had the wing doors
2 seats
500 mile range
he fucked up everything the founders had invisioned
if you really understand the history of tesla motors you get why i hate enron musk so much
ofc its true
anyone you explain what i just said to to gets it instantly
its a far better business model
the clients that buy and afford them are single
VC
rich
prick
douchebags
lol
they have no need for a fucking 2nd row of seats
omg suv and ev
you are a moron
get the fucking roadster back
line the back seat with 4x more batteries
and give ppl 700 mile ranges
THEN people care
and they'll pay over $250k for it
make less for a bigger profit margin
actually meet guidance
holy shit
profitable
paying down debt
no way
he went the other way
mercedes didn't make a car under $100k till 30 years in business
adjusted for inflation
they focused solely on their high end clients
cause they wanted MONEY not to be a douchebag
imagine a roadster 2
600 miles per charge
270 mph top speed
0-100 mph in 2 seconds
2 seats
$300k starting
THAT would sell like hot cakes
and you know it
everyone would want one
and he'd make so much on each one
it'd be like boeing
he'd have a backorder
its a shitty car
and you can't get one
and its range sucks
200 miles
so real world thats like 125
good luck driving that to colorado
700 would be doable
every major hub like st louis you stop
get some banging ass food
and recharge you insane power pack
THAT is what EV is supposed to be today
the technology is still 5-10 years away from suvs and sedans
its a luxury thing today
you wanna drive fast af with insane lightning acceleration
ludacris mode
they have all the marketing terms down
its like his marketing team gets it
but they are stuck marketing a shitty car
and by the time tesla figures that out
lambo porsche mercedes bmw
will all have done what i'm saying
just watch
i know i'm right
anyone betting on tesla stock is a fool
no one wants a fucking sedan who can afford a $100k+ car
trust me
they either want a range rover
a humvee
a rolls royce
or a coupe
drop top
oh you have a poor man's convertible IE a sun roof
lol
my fucking 19 year old audi has that
no one cares
i wanna drop top
tesla is dead
they can't even pivot they wasted all their money
its not like they took profits to build the model 3
they went into insane debt to do it
it was their last ditch effort and wwill bankrupt them
i not only say that i bet on it
wait till it plummets below 200
then everyone will be saying what i'm saying
