They must have missed it by less than expected, as the stock is up.lorenfb said:As expected, Tesla missed the low end of their 2016 guidance (80k), I.e. only 76k.
That's not encouraging for a "growth company".

76k in that price range is a lot of cars no matter how you slice it.

Summary
Raising equity a few weeks before the filing of the annual report is extremely rare.
If history repeats itself, Tesla will raise equity in the next few days.
A potential $2B cash flow hit and 2017 capex needs explain why Tesla may choose to raise equity now.
It is extremely rare for an S&P 500 company to raise equity during the "blackout period", let alone before the filing of the annual report. Fundraising during this period comes with significant reputational and legal risks. Both the company and the underwriters risk damage to their reputations and could be liable to investors if the company subsequently reports disappointing results. However, Tesla has historically demonstrated a willingness to take these risks when it comes to raising capital.

Seems to be pretty limited, at least at the moment.

Activists should be pushing for more moderates to advise President, not fewer. How could having only extremists advise him possibly be good?
I agree. I think Elon et al need to give it 6-12 months and see if they can have any positive effects or if this is just window dressing, before deciding whether to opt out. Although I'm skeptical that Donald Trump has the attention span to listen to most advice, even if he were inclined to take it, it's worth a try.GetOffYourGas said:GRA said:Via electrek:https://electrek.co/2017/01/31/tesla-model-3-reservation-holders-canceling-orders-elon-musks-trump/Some Tesla Model 3 reservation holders claim to be canceling orders over Elon Musk’s link with Trump

Seems pretty silly to me. I mean, if one is truly anti-Trump (particularly in environmental issues), wouldn't they be excited that someone from "their team" has made ties so close to the president?
Good, wages are negotiable but workplace safety shouldn't be, and the amount of mandatory OT is ridiculous.LTLFTcomposite said:Here comes the UAW

That's exactly it. It's why most union contracts have limits on mandatory OT (aside from the fact that not everyone wants to work 12-16 hours day - that was the reason behind the 8 hour day/40 hour work week:LTLFTcomposite said:I suppose the reason for working people so many hours as opposed to hiring more people is to avoid paying more benefits.
