Bzzt. Go ahead, don't put headlights, brake lights, a windshield, or bumpers on your car. Sure you MIGHT NOT get a ticket - but it's illegal. And the Federal Government has the same power to determine that, that it has for the FCC to regulate your pirate radio station. Or who can fly objects in the air.
Ford isn't that bad, actually - it pays a ~5.6% dividend, which is not bad. It's a big, stable, relatively-high-dividend stock which can be a good stock to own for those who want a mix of growth and stability.
Tesla lives and dies on Musk's cult of personality
No. Tesla lives and dies off its fundamentals. And those fundamentals are the 4th highest selling car in the US by volume, highest by revenue, highest selling car (by volume and revenue) by a US manufacturer, overwhelmingly positive reviews, top notch safety, and margin expected to be already up to about 15% (and growing) this quarter, production rates growing faster than Panasonic can keep up with cells, with ample reservations (Tesla hasn't even opened sales to most of its global market), SR not being available yet, non-PUP not being available yet, air suspension not being available yet, tow package not available yet, leases (how most people acquire cars) not available yet, only one model year old (most people prefer to wait for at least 2-3 years old) and surrounded by FUD, sparse store network, no advertising budget, and about a dozen things.
Tesla's fundamentals are rocking.
All except for profitability, that is. Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM - they all make money. Tesla? Not so much...
You're an idiot. ALL vehicles on the road must conform to all FMVSS regulations - and the FMVSS is overseen by the NHTSA, which is part of the DOT. Lights, brake pedal location, turn signal lever, wiper blades, bumper heights - all are regulated by the DOT via the FMVSS.
Three witnesses named by Dr. Ford deny her claim. NONE of them even remember the party happened in the first place - which makes any actions that happened at the alleged party doubtful. NO ONE has confirmed the party even took place. Hard to have an assault when there isn't even a party at which the assault allegedly took place.
Your link says nothing about corroboration. The witnesses put forward by Dr. Ford, in fact, either did not recall the incident or outright denied it. There was zero support for her charges - and, in fact, due to the denials of the event, there was actual support for Justice Kavanaugh. So is there any corroboration or proof it ever happened? Any at all?
Kavanaugh was elected because he was a highly qualified justice, and the claims against him had zero corroboration - and in fact, the claimants (all of them) consistently changed their stories. The only idiots were the ones who chose to continue to believe the claims in such case.
There are only TWO reasons to give a crap about the stock price:
1. You believe your job as CEO is on the line because the price is dropped too much from pressure from shorts and the stockholders pressured the Chairman and the board to replace the CEO.
2. You need to have a higher stock price to sell more stock at a maximum value to continue funding operations (running a negative cash flow), and for every dollar your shares drop in value it is that many more shares you must sell
My guess is it is much more the latter. Losing more money, needing to sell shares to fund operations (let alone growth), and wanting to avoid as much dilution of stock as possible.
It really isn't. $230M it's an order of magnitude less than cash on hand.
No, it's an order of magnitude less cash than they had on June 30th. They've been burning more cash, probably North of $600MM which means that the $230MM payment due in a few weeks is pushing 17-18% of cash reserves.
Which would be? Name the specifics - and there should be enough facts to actually convict of perjury.
Now, what I find REALLY interesting is that one of the lead Democrat attackers, Cory Booker, actually admitted to doing what Kavanaugh is being accused of. How does Booker - and how does anyone in his party - support such a clear sex offender like Booker to actually sit there smugly on the committee and rail about supposed "sexual assault"?
When an iPad can be used to actually, you know, design an iPad (ID, mechanicals, electricals) and write and compile the OS - then you may have a point. Otherwise - "what's a computer"?
Are you serious? Every Surface runs Windows 10. None run a completely stripped-down OS (like iOS when compared to macOS). NONE compete with an iPad or iPad Pro, unless you also are willing to say that an iPad or iPad Pro competes with a Macbook.
Sure - after all, you can make stuff up (where every single one of your "witnesses" you named all completely deny your claim) about something that happened 36 years ago and has zero proof and demand that others lose their job because of it.

Good luck setting headlights at the wrong height. Or using blue for your tail lights. Or not having wipers. You've never built a custom car, have you?

Well, that IS about 3.5 times the total number of Tesla buyers to date, so...
And the top selling EVs in East Asia - are not Tesla. And Nio already outsells Telsa in the high-end/luxury market in China.

So Rei - how much did Tesla lose in Q3?
Try to get a license plate without passing FMVSS regulations. Then go talk to the DOT about how you can get past the FMVSS regulations. Good luck.

why did they do something as stupid as treating drones and planes equally?
Why does the FCC regulate micropower AM/FM stations? Why does the DOT regulate home-built cars?
He was confirmed with more bipartisanship than Obamacare... Just sayin...;)

PS: Interested in your take on admitted groper Corey Booker, or accused woman-beater Keith Ellison...

Huh? Now you're making zero sense... We'll see when Justice Kavanaugh is confirmed for the Supreme Court!
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure?

Ferris?
His character is exemplary based upon all known investigations. And which witness corroborated Ford's claims?
