That picture.... interesting. I mean I know its just one picture, but from what one can glean from it.... the facility looks kind of rinky-dink imo. Look at the building. It just looks cheap. Low budget. It sure as hell doesn't look like a Honda plant. 5K cars/week... That doesn't look like a 5K/week assembly operation. But its only one picture so who knows. BMW plant:
Elon is back sleeping at the office. You would think with billions there is a hotel nearby. The bed (pillow) at 3:30 min. You can see the factory inside in the beginning...
V I don't know who Robert Wiblin is, but he has convinced me with the short tweet that he is a clueless idiot with an inflated ego and a compulsive urge to lecture.
I'll submit to you that even if Model 3 production works out as planned, Elon Musk isn't worth that much money, and Tesla isn't worth this high a valuation. Which analysts are "real" in your opinion? Any of them knows more about Tesla than Musk? I'm sure Elon Musk is not a nobody to you? How many times has he missed his own targets?
The performance package basically hinges on sales goals and growing market cap to 10x what it is now over 10 years (I might be fuzzy on some of this). If he grows stockholders equity 10X in 10 years he is worth that much money. This guy seems to drink the KoolAid also: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/14/ron-baron-were-going-to-make-20-times-our-money-in-tesla.html
I agree with a lot of this, curious how the anti fanatics read it. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/29/1767826/-The-War-on-Tesla-Musk-and-the-Fight-for-the-Future
I wonder what kind of price target shenanigans Peeker can hedge after this: https://electrek.co/2018/06/17/tesla-tsla-shorts-position-explodes-elon-musk/
Wow "three weeks before ... explodes"??? That sounds like a Terrorist threat to me. Elon Musk is showing some Terrorist traits (e.g. unmitigated hatred against people with mere different opinions). Throw in the Tesla cars that get into expectedly unpredictable accidents and burn / kill like a M.E. Terrorist vehicle, Elon Musk should really change his middle name and the company name to Terrorist / Terrorista. That will help scare the shorts. It reads like something written by an unskilled propagandist / poorly trained pump-and-dump artist. Who in their right mind would believe him over someone at Goldman Sachs? Perhaps Ron Baron is getting old / senile. Or perhaps he's one of the "co-conspirators" in that outlandish compensation package. Who knows.
It's not even a building (Tesla probably couldn't afford one); it's a tent. I wonder if it's dust / rain / water-proof. On the bright side, if there's ever a massive fire accident due to a shorted battery pack, the loss will be considerably less.
