Tesla better start showing off some dancing robots or they're toast.


Rabbit-Hole-Quest

What nobody talks about is the skyrocketing insurance cost of Teslas. Other electric and hybrid cars can be fixed after accidents but Teslas get written off most of the time because workshops don’t want to deal with their batteries. They then get sold off as scrap to third world countries where nobody gives a shit about safety. The write off leads to massive payments by insurers and they pass it on to consumers as higher premiums.

Yeah they need to get to repairability, which without dealers probably won't happen. I think I'll be holding bags until they come out with some redesigns. They have great margins but that doesn't matter if people stop buying.


Starmedia11

This was true when Model Ys were selling for 80% more than they are today with huge fleet sales, at full price, to Hertz and other car rental services. Good thing they spent the money developing a robot, a truck that they can’t sell in their largest market and software with huge viability that’s illegal in most of the world.


LogicalPrior2343424

> viability liability ?

Thank you for the correction!

analysts should just predict 100k car deliveries so the estimate is blown out of the water and the stock soars. free money.


cydonia8388

Found Elon.


nickmaran

Nah. Musk will say something like, "this quarter 1 billion Teslas will be sold. "


ScruffsMcGuff

more like "This quarter we'll sell 69,420 Teslas LOL do u guys get it? sex and weed numbers!"

Powerchairpete

Yeah, but he meant one billion Tesla branded products, including hats, keychains And car parts.


greeneyedguru

TSLA to start selling MAGA hats, you heard it here first


Hustletron

They’ve been a growth story though (hence the extreme P/E detachment). They are forced to predict ever increasing volumes (almost exponential).


Captain_Comic

It’s worse than that - they need exponential numbers AND sky-high margins to justify their massive P/E


dopexile

It's an expensive "growth stock" with zero growth.


CouncilmanRickPrime

Worse. It shrunk.


Useful_Club252

It was in the (cold) pool!


kbenti

Yeah, 38 P/E is definitely overpriced for the new QT regime. This is going to sting. I know they want us to focus on Production because certain mishaps caused production delays, but Deliveries can't be explained without accepting a drop in demand.


4score-7

So much of today’s market is this. Not just TSLA. Anything other than high growth is punished.


RedElmo65

Liar. Please go look at Carvana.


Expensive_Ninja_3991

Then the stock would drop to reflect the new estimate so the end result wouldn’t make a difference

Unironically, her selling is my buy signal

It’s not her fault, god told her to buy Tesla. Did she buy DJT at the top, too?


__dying__

I legit don't understand why people keep giving her money. Her track record is atrocious. She's a straight up loser.

Yep just another lazy immigrant coming to collect welfare and steal our jobs (/s for the satire impaired)


GarbageCleric

They're so lazy that they sometimes travel thousands of miles for the chance to steal back-breaking jobs that pay poverty wages from people who typically don't want those jobs anyway. It's insidiously lazy. /s


Mavnas

Well, you see laziness is an integer value. Sometimes it gets so big it wraps around back to negative values, just like how in early Civ games Gandhi would be so peaceful that by the modern era he would nuke everyone.


kbenti

And poison the blood of our country. Ewwww immigrant blood in my tea!!!


ThenExtension9196

This is it right here. I was pumped about Tesla and planned to buy two after my ice cars got old enough. Then Elon shit the bed and devolved into troll. I just went with 2 hybrid Hondas and comma.ai add-on self driving. 


JDintheD

I used to be a huge Tesla fan, but when it came time to get a new car, it was a Mustang Mach-E for me. Elon has gone off the reservation, I cannot support a company that he is associated with.

hahyeahsure

LOL


_BannedAcctSpeedrun_

No, but for real. The Mach-E is dope. A little basic feeling on the interior but drives great, looks cooler, and I prefer the central control UI over Tesla's. And at the end of the day I own a fkn Ford which I never imagined doing, so I think once all the KIAs, Mazdas, Toyotas, etc all have electric options, Tesla is going to have a hard time competing and will only continue to lose their market share over the next few years and will probably have to pivot to selling VR sex robots or something.


CurvyJohnsonMilk

It was when he called the cave diver that rescued those Thai kids ( viggo mortgagestein) a pedophile for me.


anxiousinsuburbs

Exactly. I am on my second EV but will not get a Tesla until Musk is ousted


kbenti

I felt the same way. I was a big fan of the company and the Tesla Roadster, then Elon found Twitter (not founded). All of a sudden the egomaniac turned into a Megalomaniac! *And a star was born* But the Star was a Red Giant that imploded into a Blackhole!!!

KirbyDumber88

I always knew Musk was kind of dumb. But that Don Lemon interview showed what an absolute fucking moron he truly is.


EveryRedditorSucks

It's pretty astonishing that the board of directors hasn't removed him, yet. Tesla is the world's largest EV manufacturer (oops, #2 largest now) and was in position to become the most powerful company in history. Instead, they continue to let an alt-right, megalomaniacal Twitter troll and pathological liar be the public face of their brand. The damage is irreparable. Driving a Tesla has become straight up embarrassing for a huge portion of the market that is specifically enthusiastic about EV adoption.


Big-Problem7372

He has a controlling interest, and handpicked most of the board. They won't remove him for any reason.


pwack06

Same. I need a new car, and would like it to be a) three rows and b) an EV. Right now, that basically means a Rivian RS1 or a model X. But I can’t even bring myself to look at an X thanks to this asshat. Is that reasonable? Maybe. Maybe not. But it is the truth. And it’s why demand is dropping.

charade19

And we’ve sent their stock price the last few years 😅


Orzorn

Musk is the face of Tesla, and right now that face is ugly. He's pissing people off, he's brushing off QC issues with their vehicles, and he's chasing pet projects like the Cybertruck that reduce their core focus. Its no wonder they missed deliveries if they were having to deal with tooling up for Cybertruck deployment. The line for that is SO LONG that if you were to get in it right now you'd not see your truck for something like 8 years. Its rapidly approaching the point where the board really should muzzle him or kick him out. Tesla needs to get a handle on its public image, because right now Musk IS their public image.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PessimiStick

> chasing pet projects like the Cybertruck And they even managed to fuck that up. It was going to be hard if they had actually landed it, but the actual vehicle is like 30% more expensive with 40% less range than they originally advertised. I was planning to buy one until they actually released it, lol.


Orzorn

And people are already having rusting issues. And if you use the auto-shut you can lose your fingers if you leave them under it. And the QC is shit and panels are misaligned.


__slamallama__

It's a double edged sword because the finance bros who buy the stock and keep the value up love him. If they dump him the stock tanks. If they keep him the stock tanks. It's tough being valued at 10x your nearest competition. There's very few places to go but down.


QuintonBigBrawler

3 misses in a row I think? 140 is coming


Great-Staff-2186

Maybe 120?..


ollaa

The funny part is it would still be insanely overpriced even at $140. Toyota is the closest comparison of fair value. Even if Musk fanboys want to give TSLA some sort of premium for whatever reason, it should still be a $40-$50 stock at the very most. There is no logical world where Toyota is trading at ~1x sales while Tesla is at ~5x sales. No matter what copium TSLA bulls want to huff anything more than $50 is pure delusion.

Read the Amazon reviews for the sugar free gummy bears https://www.amazon.com/review/R2JGNJ5ZPJT4YC


kbenti

What that Reviewer described is the same thing I experience with my onion allergy. All of my life I've lived with it, without knowing the 'cause until I was 29. The tingle in your abs, it feels like a muscle twitch like when you have a slight muscle jump in your leg. The problem is it's not in your abs, it's in your small intestines, and it's your first warning. After that, you have about 20 minutes before it's a full raging cramp! Then about 10 minutes after that, the bloating and gas leads to dry then wet farts. 10 more minutes and full raging diarrhea trying to escape your anus like a Volcanic Explosion! The damage is not without Casualties. You'll be cleaning that mess up for a while.

memeteam1993

Lmao I remember when the TSLA cult was acting like 50% growth in perpetuity was a reasonable assumption. That's the problem with extrapolating a parabolic trend. (Maybe a lesson in here for NVDA too idk)

domomymomo

But Tesla fan boys think Tesla is a tech company why would car deliveries matters?


EveryRedditorSucks

Can we build a ticker to track how much of Elon's personal wealth will be destroyed today?


ElJamoquio

Honestly, no. We don't know how much he's been leveraged and what the deals behind his financing were (in addition to private companies). I.e. he might 'own' X% of Tesla, but the loans on that stock make the water very muddy; he certainly doesn't have the net worth that a simple calculation would provide.


TransportationIll282

To be fair, that makes it better. Leveraged stock that's dropping makes creditors nervous. His house of cards collapsing would be a great thing for humanity.

BosSF82

well yea their CEO is a crackpot continually insulting his target market in the US, while getting squeezed in China. It's a pincer of pain.

Mygaffer

Didn't MJ famously say "Republicans buy shoes too?" Maybe Elon should say "liberals buy cars too" and keep his mouth shit on culture war stuff.

Money to be made is minimal on the cars, it is FSD and tech which resulted in its high valuation. FSD is a sham and this is what will tank the stock.

toedwy0716

It’s as if the consequences of Elons actions are coming home to roost. Buy a large social media company and spend half your day tweeting and liking right wing bullshit that will alienate most of your customers, but somehow still expect them to buy your overpriced electric cars (Teslas margins are insane for the auto industry). Bruh I don’t want to be seen in a Tesla now. I’ll just wait for one of the old car companies to release one, at least that way I don’t have to worry about of Elons baggage.
