You can't make this stuff up!! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...2821803.html&usg=AOvVaw3qDUSOgG3Dv0ks_Xodtdhn
Yeah, I've been calling out the TSLA geek squad on TMC and in general over the not inconsequential risks tied to batteries on fire. This isn't a Tesla issue but a governmental and perhaps a global one. Fire departments need to be trained on how to properly put these fires out, scientists need to come up with better solutions than pooring water, battery makers need to be held to commonly agreed standards and liability needs to be clearly established when shit hits the fan. I started thinking about this when a few blocks of homes burned down in Santa Rosa, CA, a suburban city of the San Francisco Bay Area. If only 30% of home owners had EVs and 30% had energy storage units attached to their homes, this would have been even more catastrophic for firefighters to put out the flames. At this time I see no efforts to address this looming problem.
It will be interesting to see how the stock reacts when the market opens. Tesla Q2 sales slide in wake of COVID shutdowns in China | Automotive News (autonews.com)
Because Tesla is one of those 'Cult' following stocks, it makes it extremely hard to predict. 'Interesting' is pretty much the only real word to use here. I'm personally getting ready to watch Apple's land-slide along with Dr. Burry.
Yup Elon front-run the media talking about billions being burned in Germany and Austin and China also effected by Lockdowns/supply chain issues. Meanwhile at the original Fremont, California manufacturing facility the big positive money is being made. California which he bitch-slapped for Texas is saving his sorry hypocritical azz lol.
Yes, and it's the reason TSLA is up today, to the haters' dismay. Despite a rough Q2, Tesla came very close to expectations and June was its best production month ever, once again shutting the bears up.
