@[Gary Anderson](user:4798), I don't think #autonomouscars are a scam, it is just that there is a long way to go. But of the companies trying to dominate this space, wouldn't you say that #Tesla is one of the most likely to eventually succeed? I believe it will simply take much longer than they let on. $TSLA
It sounded like #Musk was shocked that the launch even worked. At the very least it boosted confidence in his abilities as well as the likely success of all of his companies. Bullish on #Tesla. $TSLA.
You are long #Tesla due to their Autonomous driving advantage. Let's stick with that since the horrific financials don't seem to bother you.
Tesla collects data from its cars as they are driven and occasionally driving themselves. However, when there has been a crash of a Tesla driving itself, we have never seen the video of the crash. That is because Tesla's cars are not collecting video despite having only "optic sensors". It would require a large bandwidth or decent sized storage capacity for video for Tesla to be collecting useful data from its cars. I am not seeing either of those in the teardown of the Tesla autonomous driving board.
I think it fairly obvious that Tesla cars merely collect telemetry data to record what the driver or car did prior to an accident. That data isn't useful enough to train a car how to drive itself.
While other autonomous car developers are using custom servers and the best boards and chips that #NVidia can design, Tesla is making noises about making their own custom chip from scratch (#Intel isn't able to compete with NVidia or #AMD, but suddenly Tesla can?) or switching to cheaper AMD parts.
Tesla's autonomous driving capability is hype and a willingness to endanger its customers. That ought to make you suspicious about the rest of the company, sadly I doubt that it will.
Autonomous driving Level 4 and 5 is coming in the next two to three years, but Tesla is at the back of the pack and not improving from Level 2.
If they refuse to sell their $TSLA stock, what TSLA stockholders ought to do is protect their investment with long protective puts. And please diversify so that Tesla's auditors declaring a "going concern" won't destroy your retirement portfolio.
I know #Tesla is far from a perfect company, but what would it take for you to be more bullish on $TSLA? As you can tell, I'm a fan of the company, despite its shortcomings.
Good question. Being that a major component of these batteries is #cobalt, I wonder how that increased demand will affect other companies dependant on this resource, such as #Tesla.
Thanks for a dose of reality exposing this #Tesla / #DHL deal for what it really is... not much to write home about. I like $TSLA but would love to see the company make more progress.
The problems #Tesla is experiencing now have been long coming. As soon as the company committed itself to manufacturing a mass market car it was obvious cash flow problems were going to occur. Think this stock is heading down fast! $TSLA
I've always associated #lithium with #ElectricCars and #Tesla but lately I've been hearing more and more about #Cobalt. Hadn't realized it played such a crucial role. I'll be looking more closely at $SCTFF and related companies.
The run up isn't warranted, however, that can be said of the whole market. The real issue to watch for on #Tesla is dilution due to needing more money and their cash and cash flow which is not that good. Tesla needs to focus on its core. Cutting growth on solar, refusing to self finance customers, and making the users pay for their purchases will help. Sadly, those who already bought their panels will be the cash hog to support their panel business for all the years they must pay for their purchases. Hopefully, they will turn out ok through electric bill savings although they maybe could have saved more with other deals.
The real fear is they default on their purchase or pursue legal ways to get out of the contract if the terms appear overly adverse to them. $TSLA
"#BearingResources Ltd. ($BRGRF), acquired a world-class resource in Chile that gives it the second-most advanced lithium project in the world, is a front-line contender."
Which company has the most advanced project? #Tesla$TSLA?
I agree, this development in #China could be very interesting for the #AutoIndustry and #Tesla in particular. But I'm curious - you say that more cars are sold in China than any place else. While I believe that's likely the case, would it be true for Tesla which are far more expensive? I would think it would be too high for the average individual. $TSLA

Where Is Tesla Motors Stock Headed Post SolarCity Merger?
Great analysis. Looks like trading volume has not been as high; increasing trade volume is likely to trigger a strong positive movement.
Competition in the electric car market has been increasing, making it tougher for #Tesla to achieve profit targets. www.talkmarkets.com/.../chevy-bolt-seen-by-jpmorgan-as-solid-competition-for-tesla-model-3
I am of the opinion that Tesla's business model is unique and convincing. Moreover, the recent acquisition of #SCTY can only help the Tesla's mission.
