Trading under $200 again. Still has some downward momentum, so I'm not quite a buyer yet, but time to start paying attention to the stock again looking for a buying opportunity.
I bought a little more and will keep an eye out for further bargains.palmermd said:Trading under $200 again. Still has some downward momentum, so I'm not quite a buyer yet, but time to start paying attention to the stock again looking for a buying opportunity.
I agree that a pool of wealthy buyers is still a Tesla requirement for continued success. However, inventing and then sustaining, desire, is complex and hard to reduce to a formula. It's more important to TSLA pricing than $60/barrel oil IMO.LTLFTcomposite said:I don't expect we'll ever see any shortage of materialist gawkwers at malls. The real question is how deep is the pool of wealthy buyers, or perhaps more importantly, those with the capacity to borrow. I'd be more concerned about stock market or general economic downturns hitting them.

Adjacent "materialist gawker" stores Lulu Lemon and Sony were ghost towns by comparison. Apple Store seemed to possess a "materialist gawker" tractor beam.

Higher range EVs at much lower cost will put a dark spell on Musk's price creep tradition and could seriously hurt his bottom line depending on actual sell prices. With a reasonable disparity in price for a premium or status product it can work but it gets tough when the difference is much wider for high sales numbers.

If any of these show up, they will qualify. Via ievs.com:mitch672 said:EVDRIVER said:Don't forget to factor any future competitive products.

mitch672 said:Umm, you might want to re-state that. He CAUSED the slide in the first place, by casually mentioning that China sales are way off in the 4th quarter.. If you're going to comment, at least know the facts,

Elon is the most innovative person on the planet, right now.
Builds Electric cars, better than anything else existing, better range & performance: check
Deploys it's own DC fast charging network worldwide, to enable the cars to replace the ICE: check
Designed his own rocket, delivers supplies, and soon people to the ISS: check
Sits on the board of director's of Solar City, which his cousins run: check
Designed the concept and will build a test track to test capsules for the Hyperloop (which will when eventually deployed replace air travel): check
The stock market is very myopic, looking at short term profits, that's not what wins the race. long term, steady growth and becoming a world class EV leader, that everyone tries to be like (though vey poorly), wins the race. Long term I am not worried about TSLA at all. Lead, Follow, or get the hell out of the way
