I keep saying; how are they going to make money on a $35k car when they can't clear profit on a $135k car.

Reckon that's what called ludicrous mode. Either that or sleeping at the factory and calling heroes pedos.

Seriously, a guy who thinks that underground vacuum tubes are a viable transportation solution . . . is not someone to trust with billions.
YMMV, but I think this was pretty obvious to all but the unicorn riders.

I have a coworker who ordered a Model 3. I will send him the zero hedge link. I hope he gets his car. But even if he gets it, with Tesla’s trajectory, will Tesla be able to provide service?

Cars sitting in inventory either need a repair, or a part added. Part of the high volume push...

You know the crazy thing? This is a company that has never turned a profit that still somehow almost hit $400/share and is still, despite acting like being on the verge of bankruptcy, over $300/share. If anyone needs an exhibit A for the stock market being as much about emotion as rational thought, here you go.

This analyst seems pretty bullish about Tesla's future.
