I wouldn't have bought Tesla. But, you shouldn't listen to me because in 2018/19 where everyone was talking about it, I told everyone they were stupid for buying it or considering buying it. It was $15.68 in 2019 (accounting for splits.) I also said Putin wouldn't invade UKR. I know his reasons, but Musk would become the richest MF'er ever and probably stay in that position if he took Space-X public. If he ever took spacex public I would throw every penny I had at it. Yeah, that's one where I'd pay an insane multiple and I almost always stay away from insane multiples. It's a long shot, but if there ever was a guy who had the potential to be the world's first trillionaire, it's Elon Musk, and it'd be because of SpaceX and not Tesla. It's pretty unknown right now if Starship is going to be a bust or unlock a massive space economy in ways we never even contemplated both commercial and military. |

It's a growth stock. Not much news that reflects anything but more contraction. They're getting hosed in China by cheap completion, they cancelled the cheaper EV model and are making long term bets on the robo taxi and self drive tech. It's leading to a lot of investor unhappiness. None of that suggests near term growth. Eventually it will find a new support level. I doubt if this is it. |

Some of these are project managers, some are engineers is specific areas. Each one on the list was selected not only for their knowledge but their experience and have been involved with each and every product since 1998. All but a small handful of those on the list are still there. things people think are 5 years in the future were done 10 years ago and the market wasn't ready or the technology needs to mature. With all the above said, Apple has a very large portfolio of IP and has research ongoing in areas you would not expect. Hell, the whole reason Al Gore was on the board was because Apple was/is heavily involved in fusion energy research. None of the above should be considered financial advice but general information on things not often discussed |

Maybe Tesla actually picks up EV market share with everyone else taking a second look at hybrids as the intermediate future. The biggest threat to Tesla might be when Toyota ramps up--they claim to be a couple years away from finally putting solid state batteries on the road. The future of battery-powered vehicles is probably plug-in hybrids and series hybrids like the Ramcharger, and Tesla is not in either of those markets. For any of the big established manufacturers, it will be relatively easy for them to enter and expand in these segments. |

I guess Elon owns Waffle House too. Quite the backtrack. Tesla (TSLA) stock jumped in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the company said it would accelerate the launch of more affordable vehicles, countering reports earlier this month the company would scrap these plans. "We have updated our future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of our previously communicated start of production in the second half of 2025," Tesla said in its first quarter shareholder release. On the earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the timelines for new vehicles could be in early 2025, if not later this year. Tesla declined to say when the cheap EV will debut, though Musk did say the company would talk more about these vehicles on Aug. 8, the day the robotaxi will be revealed. "These new vehicles, including more affordable models, will utilize aspects of the next generation platform as well as aspects of our current platforms, and will be able to be produced on the same manufacturing lines as our current vehicle line-up," Tesla said in the release.
