I guess the SEC will sort it out.

I'm guessing that Musk was in talks with some Saudis about taking the company private, he had some preliminary talks and some agreement in principle, and his tweet scared them off.

It's all very public, there were talks but never any agreement (not even in principle). The odd thing is that he didn't tweet about it until long after the Saudis gave him the Heisman. He's loosely blamed it on Ambien use (the sleeping man does do/say odd things) but it's pretty obvious the stress has him outside himself whether it be organic or chemically enhanced.

He's losing it. He kept the facade up too long and can't live up to the hype he generated. If he ran a restaurant in NYC I would expect "Jewish lightning" (a grease fire) to burn the place down and not reopen after the insurance payout. In the meantime, it looks like the SEC didn't take too kindly to his tricks and will be visiting soon.

Tesla's Semi truck is traveling cross-country 'alone'
https://www.engadget.com/2018/08/26/tesla-semi-truck-travels-cross-country-alone/?yptr=yahoo

One could travel cross country on a bicycle as well, but if you want to do it in a timely fashion there are better choices.

^^^

A 69E is a better choice.

54 hours in a 69 E

I bet there is no dummy cargo weight on board.

arrogance meets reality....

Posting in this thread because this is where I've posted all of my thoughts on Tesla and because I don't necessarily think a thread about a family member buying a Tesla is the place to discuss problems with the overall company. I do think a thread about all the fancy new products Tesla rolls out to hide the company's inherent weakness is a better forum.

Maybe he's just trying to push the stock price down.
Ya know, so he can take Tesla private.
Yeah, that's it. ;)

You know

Imagine the stock price if he posted some rumors about building a Tesla SV version with a 1.5 Liter twin turbo V8
"To reel in the classic petrol heads into buying Tesla"

couple of concept pictures
some torque stats
Suggestions that it will produce only 30 grams of CO2 because of some unknown improvement in Catalysators he figured out.
Say it has an integrated gearbox within the crankshaft housing with dual wet clutch and electro motor assisted Camshaft vectoring nonsense

The stocks would free fall

lol ;)

Elon Musk makes bizarre 'End of life as we know it' claim | Fox News
just for starters:

Stephan Hawking said the same thing....

Time is running out for Tesla :
VAG, Audi is starting deliveries of their E-tron.

Doesn't look as ugly
I'm sure will have a better build quality
VAG has no problems ramping up production numbers, at all.

Musk better get his moon rocket ready, he'll need it to run from all the investors he burned.

https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion....w700.h700.jpg

But he hasn't burned any investors.

They are sitting on a $400 stock, and have hit a 10-bagger home run with TSLA.
And once it crashes to $0, they can't blame him, they had all the time in the world to exit the position.

Or did you mean bond holders? Bonds are already rated junk, so those buyers already know the risk

I bet with the tech now days the Retro Encabulator would fit in a car now!

that's only true for those who bought in at the IPO , i'm sure those have already long cashed in, if not, they are utter morons...

Sorry, but I feel no pity for investors who bought into a company that has made no profit, was largely government funded by an administration that is now gone, has well known quality and delivery issues associated with their product, has well known personnel and management issues, has a CEO that frequently makes questionable public statements regarding the company/product, and is competing in a global industry well known for being competitive and low margin. People are buying based on Musk hype, nothing more, and when that eventually dissolves the investors will be left holding the bag.

On a lighter side note, most folks know what a BFH is.
I wonder if Musk taking a hit on the doobie when he named his rocket BFR?

As far as the investors are concerned... they are probably happy with Musk as long as they keep smoking as well

Not true.
Basically, almost anyone who holds TSLA is sittting on a massive profit.
The stock is still near all time highs. He's made a LOT of people rich.
https://image.prntscr.com/image/9_Zp...siE4Bo7WFw.png

Wherever there is a rich guy, there is always a bagholder though.

Then they have to Sell it now, and not after it craps out on the stock market for failure to deliver and rising competition...

If they are now sitting on massive profit, it would be illogical to keep sitting on it.

That's what baffles me. How many more red flags do you need?

Kool-Aid is an addictive drink.
The sycophants will hold to $0

Asset bubbles are largely a product of human psychology. Witness the RE boom in the early 2000's and the crash in the late 2000's. This is no different.

I see today the SEC has decided to get serious about Musk.

Zoom out. The stock has along way to go.
People are still sitting on massive profits.

I agree with sugarwood. Everyone should buy tons of Tesla stock. All you can. Take a second mortgage if you have to. Don't sell any of it. Ever.
Elon has promised us everything will be fine, or, the world will end and iff you don't agree you must be a "pedo". :rolleyes:

That's not what I said. TSLA is going to $0. But be clear, people have not lost money yet. They're sitting on huge profits.

Which begs the question - why hold? So many reasons to sell, why hold?

It will not go to zero, it will be purchased/rescued by a primetime player before that would happen. There is a ton of value in the intangibles of Tesla; it's damn hard work building a cult from scratch, much easier to buy one off the shelf.

I owned some stock. Damn near a triple in 4 years. Sold it all last year.

I understand.

Either way, everyone needs to hold onto TSLA stock no matter what. Messiah Elon must be supported.

What a great buying opportunity Friday was.
