Americans might buy electric cars at $15,000 (which would also explain why BYD America - based in Los Angeles - has been ramping up hiring). Now, selling $60K+ electric vehicles is a different market...
I just said the car makers producing millions of cars now are way behind.
Maybe those other manufacturers are doing it right - focusing on actually building cars at a profit, and leaving specialty things like auto-pilots to specialized companies. It doesn't make sense to design your own fuel injectors, tires, or starters - let others do that. Likewise, let someone who is specialized in auto-pilot technology spearhead it and add it to your cars when it's ready. In the mean time, keep pumping out millions of cars that actually turn a profit unlike anything shipped by Tesla.
It is NOT about a "buyout in the works". It is about his claim of a completed, $420/share buyout. You know, $420, funding secured - meaning the deal is done, cash is on the table right now, take it or leave it. If it's not there as of last Tuesday - that's securities fraud.
No short here! I'm smart enough to not short such a volatile stock with a crazed CEO at the helm who engages in stock manipulation. Curious about when a $35K Tesla will finally ship, though...
Kamkar built a small $100 device with a Wi-Fi hot spot that spoofs familiar Wi-Fi networks (for example, "attwifi," commonly used at Starbucks). If a driver's phone connects to the hot spot and the RemoteLink app is then opened, the hacker will gain access to the app.
The Tesla hack comes from you - the driver - going to a bad website. The OnStar hack is you connecting your cellphone to a bogus WiFi hotspot AND then opening an app on your cellphone. Pretty different. Tesla is the car itself opening the weakness, the OnStar is your cellphone (and requires you to use a specific app).
Additionally, the Tesla hack allows control of brakes and other things, the OnStar can unlock your car (like Tesla) but not major vehicle functions - like brakes.
You mean the code that was hacked each year so that brakes could be activated remotely? That code base? Yeah - I don't see other manufacturers really giving $0.02 about it...
Read the thread. I'm not "in awe" of 3000 jobs. Previous poster challenged the idea that the tariff would create 3000 jobs, I posted data showing it would. Simple as that. I would expect someone with a 5 digit UID to be able to follow simple threads and not invent straw-men to rant against.
Approximately 3 people in this company. So not 100 - but 3. But hey, it's great grist to blame the tariff as causing a $178,000 annual revenue company failing (please ignore the fact that the "default of a large account added greatly to the problem").
It's mainly the shortages, and not the tariffs. A 25% tariff won't create an 80% cost increase - other things do that, especially given the raw steel (which is what the tariff is based on, not finished goods) is a small percentage of the entire case. I do know that other things in China are way up, including boxes - about a 130% increase this year, making US-made boxes cheaper than those from China.
I think it's funnier when people think that running around and asking people if they'd like to invest is the equivalent of having secured funding at a fixed price...
High level versus low level. In other words, they are talking about maybe doing a deal, but they haven't even started the low-level discussions needed to make an offer. So - not secured.
The seller has nothing to do with the terms of your loan. When you have a secured loan from a bank for purchase of a house, the bank has already decided to give you the money it agreed - $500K, $250K, whatever. The ONLY terms the bank will typically place on the loan is that the house has to be worth the amount loaned, based on an independent inspection. But the money is the buyers money to use, and the seller doesn't matter at all. Terms are decided (rates, payment periods, etc) all done. Just the final validation (like an audit) to ensure the property is worth the funds.
Yes. Did you see the change in stock price as soon as he tweeted, and in fact trading in TSLA stopped soon thereafter? That's called stock manipulation, and it's why communications from companies is heavily regulated.
So - deal not secured. If you're still talking those terms, there isn't secured funding. Saudis have NOT agreed to give $420 per share if they're still negotiating all those terms. Again - it's binary. It's either secured or its not.
Unless that hedge has you strategically placed against China, who has decided it is a "prime industry" from a Government standpoint and thus solar panel production is heavily subsidized. Oh, and that strategic opponent in the panel market is also your biggest buyer of oil...
So it's at $420, the Saudis have already agreed to the price and terms? Really? Is that why they are still negotiating?
Secured funding is binary - it either is or isn't. If it is, then terms, players, and amounts are all done. If it isn't, then negotiations are still going on. You're trying to debate that you can be a little pregnant - not gonna work.

You can see the links where I sourced my numbers. Up to you to simply click...
As long as you spend it on a house that passes inspection and appraisal - you can buy any property you want.
The Canadian Peso keeps getting weaker...:(

Don't forget a $35,000 model 3!
Well, they have to do SOMETHING to deflect from Musk's blantant SEC manipulation and upcoming fraud charges...
Tesla cars are hacked for remote brake activation, among other things. Not a reassuring platform to start from...

Potentially, especially since the Greenback is steadily increasing versus the Loonie.
You mean more than 2880 - as US Steel plans to add more than 800 jobs this year. I'd say that's close enough to 3000...

It is at least 800 this year, and given that ever manufacturing job creates 3.6 additional jobs, that would be around 3000+ new jobs from US Steel expansion this year, alone.
You're welcome.
