This is a fascinating article and an Apple/Tesla partnership or merger would create a formidable presence in this space. But while it's clear why #Tesla and #Musk are in desperate need of a white night to sweep in and save the day, I don't believe you've made the case for how this would benefit #Apple or #TimCook. $TSLA$AAPL
I don't understand #Musk. It's like he's breaking down. How does crying and confessing that he can't cope and needs to sleep in the office and take ambien supposed to give investors confidence in #Tesla? Concerned for $TSLA
Every company has spin. That's the job of a good CEO/PR company. Personally I think #Musk and #Tesla are going to achieve great things. The man is a visionary. Sure, the company has it's share of challenges... what company wouldn't when trying to achieve greatness. But when they succeed, no one will remember these early problems or occasional spin. Bullish on $TSLA
But you have to factor in customer loyalty and like #Apple, #Tesla has rabid fans. For example, Apple's stock should have tanked when it came out that they were deliberately slowing down customers' products so that they would be forced to buy new products - that's a complete betrayal of their customers. But it barely caused a blip. $TSLA$AAPL
Good unbiased take on #Tesla, which is pretty hard to find these days. I keep going back and forth on this company. People seem to love the cars and #Musk and tend to ignore some of the problems the company face. Others highlight Musk's somewhat unpredictable behavior, the numerous companies that distract him and only focus on the negatives. What's your personal take on $TSLA, Trent? Worth investing in?
Why can't people separate #Tesla the car company from autonomous cars? While I don't believe we'll have save self driving cars in my lifetime, I still believe Tesla makes some unbelievable cars. $TSLA.
I agree. While #Tesla is facing some financial woes, it's nothing that can't be overcome. Amazon, Groupon, Facebook and countless other companies lost billions before they became the cashcows they are today. Becoming more bullish on $TSLA
I don't know if i'd agree self driving cars are a con. But in regards to a trade war, might that not be just as likely to help $TSLA? For example, isn't #Trump considering taxing car imports from Canada by 25%? Cars imported from Canada account for about 22% of US car sales. If such a tax goes into affect that might make a #Tesla more affordable by comparison.
Update: It appears that #Tesla may have taken the blurb I quoted, regarding hardware off its website. At best it was misleading. If it referred to hardware meaning software was not covered by the statement, that could be misleading to many. Tesla obviously does not have the software to create a self driving car.
Having the hardware to do something without having the software really is meaningless in terms of actual capability. $TSLA
