Deeply profound, educated, and evidenced analysis of the anti-Tesla situation brewing in the media.

There is $12 billion in shorts against Tesla floating around. You can observe the pattern in the media where it's obvious that shorts were trying to tank Tesla with fake news so they could make a profit. The same exact thing happened to Fairfax Financial and they barely survived and are now massively valuable.

The good news is that Tesla is making profitability and positive cash flow top priorities. This means that they won't be beholden to outside capital and utterly dishonest and toxic investors who want the company to tank.

Everything they do is to sell their batteries. Home solar? Requires a bigass Tesla battery in your home. Electric cars? Bigass batteries. Most of their factory advances have been in making cheaper to produce batteries. Because at the end of the day, other companies will come out with solar and electric solutions, but if all of them have a Tesla battery on the inside, they've won the game.

This is quite a bizarre take. All you're saying is "electric cars require batteries." Like, no fucking shit they require batteries? Their battery in the car would be worthless if their cars weren't excellent cars. And they're consistently excellent cars.

Yeah and how do you propose to build electric (or any) car without a damn battery? Not only that, why would this magical realization they sell batteries hurt their rep? It's just a weird ass thing to say

Anywho, I'm like...inches away from ordering a Model 3. The 310-mile range one with the dual motors. Tempted to get the autonomous driving packages too but that's like another $10,000. Without that stuff, the price of the car is around $60,000 for the dual-motor vehicle. Minus $7,500 once the federal tax credit kicks in.

Pretty expensive, but for the gas savings/maintenance savings over the lifetime of the vehicle it wouldn't actually be that much more expensive than a nice gas car. Plus I could be supporting one of the brands that is the imo in the top three most important brands right now.

That's right. Solar is only useful if you can use it when the sun shines, or if you can store it (electricity) in bigass batteries for cloudy days or night time usage.

When companies produce things, they usually go to dedicated manufacturers for specific parts. You may be shocked to learn this, but battery manufacturers existed before Tesla, and many companies use them to mass produce the parts. I've linked to a list of all the companies that do below. I'm willing to bet Tesla even relies on companies for other parts in their car. So the fact that they mass produce their own batteries IS unusual for a car company.

As for why it would hurt their rep, Tesla has this weird reputation right now as something other than just another company. Public perception shifting to the belief that all the "good, entrepreneurial" stuff they do is just to sell you batteries could hurt goodwill, especially among early adopters buying their products not because they're the most cost effective, but because they're "Tesla"

What the fuck are you blabbering on about, dude? Tesla tries to make as much stuff in-house as possible. They've even automated the production of car seats because they don't want to buy them from other companies.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-07-12/how-tesla-s-model-3-became-elon-musk-s-version-of-hell

Automakers generally rely on thousands of suppliers, from windshield wiper makers to electronics manufacturers. But Musk has long argued that the traditional supplier model led to cost overruns and mediocrity. Starting in 2015, he told employees he wanted to make even the thorniest parts of his supply chain in-house. In late 2015 he appointed a recently hired car interiors expert, Steve MacManus, to build a seat factory near the main plant in Fremont. Seat assembly is labor-intensive and is outsourced by every major car company to the lowest-paid workers they can find. Your job is to get us out of seat hell, MacManus recalls Musk telling him during their first conversation after hed started.

And so, in one area of MacManuss Model 3 seat line, more than a dozen robots rapidly piece together the front seats, including tiny motors, hinges, heaters, and frames. Tesla claims this is the worlds first front seat assembly line in which no humans are involved at all. The plan is eventually to use Musks tunnel-digging venture, the Boring Co., to dig an underground passageway to bring seats to and from the main Fremont factory, about 2 miles away. They already have a spot in mind.

You literally argued something factually incorrect. Your argument was that Tesla is intentionally mass producing its own battery since it's really just a battery company, and that you bet it gets other parts from other companies. And you are implying that their decision to mass produce their own battery while sourcing everything else from elsewhere would somehow hurt their brand.

Not only are you factually incorrect about what Tesla actually mass produces in-house, but your argument is a weird non-sequitur even if you were right about your conspiracy theory.

The fact that they try to produce as much in house doesn't make me wrong when I say they DO get parts from other companies. Objectively, they DO get parts from other companies. So I'm not factually incorrect unless you've got some special definition of correct or facts.

I'm not sure I really get your position. Batteries are unique in their supply chain from what I can see, in that they are a product line in and of themselves whereas everything else is for the cars. Are they planning on selling their seats to other manufacturers?

I think that Tesla is set up to try to be able to produce a profit on its own. What is their target market share? Even if they prove to be a total technological disruptor about 20% of the market share is the cap. GM is current market leader with 17.9% to Tesla's .2%. Realistically if they get 5% of the market share 20-30 years from now I would be impressed.

Whereas their batteries they could get 80% market share for other electric car manufacturers if they keep improving and maybe 60% domestic solar share and have a high market share in other industries as well. End of the day this product line looks to have more long term growth potential.

Those reports are exaggerated and kept in the spotlight by short sellers and their massive capital, yes. There is no actual problem with Tesla vehicles randomly catching fire or being unsafe. They're amongst the safest cars ever made.

People would completely lose confidence in Intel if they figured out Intel just sells rocks. That they're a rock company.

Hell, Intel produces their own rocks intentionally. I bet they get other things from other companies, which somehow PROVES they're only producing their own rocks for some illicit purpose.

That's a huge exaggeration. The first vehicles off the line had issues because of the brand new manufacturing process that relies on heavy automation. They had to tweak the automation as they experienced issues at scale. It was all virgin territory and Tesla was revolutionizing the process for the first time in the industry.

The most damaging thing to the Tesla brand would be if people finally woke up the fact that they're just a battery company.


what


Everything they do is to sell their batteries. Home solar? Requires a bigass Tesla battery in your home. Electric cars? Bigass batteries. Most of their factory advances have been in making cheaper to produce batteries. Because at the end of the day, other companies will come out with solar and electric solutions, but if all of them have a Tesla battery on the inside, they've won the game.


This is quite a bizarre take. All you're saying is "electric cars require batteries." Like, no fucking shit they require batteries? Their battery in the car would be worthless if their cars weren't excellent cars. And they're consistently excellent cars.

Are you literally talking to yourself, Fluffy? Or did that no-sig 10 karma alt just happen to pop into this basically finished topic for the sole purpose of agreeing with you?

they pretend that tesla's profitability issue are what they really care about, when in reality they're going to grasp at ANY straws necessary to try to make tesla look bad

like, if tesla started being profitable tomorrow these CEmen would just find some other thing to be vile about
