I started with the presumption that Elon Musk likes each new business initiative to be self funding ASAP. Using some snippets of info over the years, a supercharger costs Tesla about $50,000. Over the last 12 Months, Tesla installed 12400 new Superchargers. Total cost $620 Million. Say we had...

I reckon they have been through fires before, I can't see why they would go weak at the knees now. BTW, the angle of reporting has been along the lines of 'TESLA PIVOTING', that may be true, and to me is the negative narrative of the story. Perhaps the more accurate headline could read...

I suspect this has been on the cards for a lot longer than we think. Over the last 6 months, (AU)I have been checking the Supercharger map for updates. The map should be updated every 3 months. From a usual over a dozen planned new locations to just 3 today.

The supercharger network had been growing at 30%-33%, last qrt dropped to 27%. Tesla has reached growth of around 1300 locations per year. Maybe a number the company is satisfied with to support the Robotaxi rollout for now. Tesla has delayed mass production of consumer 'Model' 2...

All correct. One plays on the mood of short-term price, and the other long-term prospects. But is it accurate to say, for example, 'he took his hands off the wheel ?' Not many CEO's, nor boards, who are after all representing shareholders, able to turn on a dime. Tesla had plans for...

Another positive for Tesla, and share price market boost, it's a biggie, but if the past is anything to go on, short-lived. But maybe the past is over, lol. It could stick and rise steadily. Good things are ahead within the market's reach. I expect the Q2 results to please, but adding to...

Yea, back in my IT days, I received the request to identify and cut staff. That's how it worked. Luckily I was able to hold onto my team.

Tesla will unveil a couple ready for production, and some still in development. Routers will say: "But, most were concept cars"

All good for Americans, but us poor Aussies will hope for reasonable international shipping prices(if at all), or wait for a local supplier with limited options. Or go the 'reliable' AliExpress path.

More likely the Bot sitting in the passenger's seat and being driven around by FSD I'd love to see a bot sit in an F150 and driving it around

Yes, that is true. My thoughts were directed at long-term holders with future dreams, flirting with the stock.

I can't apply technicals to a fast-growing company.. Too many variables. A simple market announcement could break out of anything, one way or another. Covid, inflation, recession, war aside : If the thing grows 50%, why fark around trying to pick up 5%. Never drop what's in the hand!!!! A...

TSLA IMO is a long hold.. I had a mate who got out recently... he was fed up stressing over daily news... sometimes little voices get the better of you.

Neck, arms, and hand movements were amazing! With just a little more training, I imagine they'd be almost human-like. Put a uniform on it and send it to work on the Cybertruck like now lol
