More importantly, in their 2nd biggest market, China, the average Tesla's price just went up by 30K because of the tariffs. It might put a dump on demand, unless it was only millionaires buying them and they don't care... Now Elon, the Smart just made a deal about a Chinese owned factory supposedly making up to 500K cars. It is supposed to come live in 2ish years. Maybe that is where they could make 35K costing cars. Although Elon forgot to mention where he would get the cash...
Elon's 3 weeks promise of short burn is coming up, they might pull a secret deal or something out of the hat. In the main time: "Even Musk's title of Engineer is a fraudulent claim. "Elon Musk is the company’s chief engineer" was a statement coming from Tesla's spokesperson on July 2 ... this too is a lie. Elon is NOT allowed to call himself an engineer in California. Under state law, engineer is more than just a word. It's a classification of profession that can legally be used only by those who have met the licensing requirements."
https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/11/ex-tesla-worker-sec-whistleblower/?guccounter=1 "Tripp’s whistleblower tip, which was filed July 6, alleges that Tesla knowingly manufactured batteries with punctured holes possibly impacting hundreds of cars on the road; misled the investing public as to the numbers of Model 3s actually being produced each week by as much as 44 percent; and lowered vehicle specifications and systemically used scrap and waste material in vehicles, all so as to meet production quotas, according to a statement from Meissner Associates." Let's see how this will go.
Market up big. Tesla down big. Big money out already? Really? So now it's small money's turn taking the stock down? Who decides that it's already too much negative about the stock? You might want to write your idol Elon Musk about the virtue of averaging down and ask him to immediately start a buying spree again here. Please be as persuasive and persistent as possible. To show my support, I've got a small call position that I hope will be up big when Elon Musk enters his buy order. .
It's an old useless article from a Tesla fan boys club. Why even bother? Tesla down big again, and on small volume. Good morning for Tesla bears. Price is the only thing that matters. Elon Musk is till BS'ing incessantly on Twitter. That alone is good reason for a bearing outlook. Judging by the way TSLA is moving, the sub-300 days will be here very soon.
Thailand Cave Rescue Leader: "Elon Musk can stick his submarine where it hurts." Strictly speaking Elon Musk's moronic contraption isn't a submarine; it's just a sealed capsule with oxygen supply. Anyone with some common sense can tell right away that it's a total non-starter. Double strong sell Tesla with Elon Musk as the CEO.
Elon Musk pledges to fix Flint water in homes with contamination By ROEY HADAR Jul 13, 2018, 4:28 PM ET Play Diego Donamaria/Getty Images WATCH New Revelations in Flint, Michigan, Water Crisis Email Elon Musk says he is redoubling his efforts to help Flint residents affected by the ongoing water crisis by pledging to fix the pipes in any Flint house with contaminated water. The 47-year-old billionaire and Tesla founder tweeted this week that he will also organize a weekend in Flint to add filters for residents still concerned with their water quality in an effort to improve public perception of water quality. Please consider this a commitment that I will fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels. No kidding. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 11, 2018 You’re right on both counts. Most houses in Flint have safe water, but they’ve lost faith in govt test results. Some houses are still outliers. Will organize a weekend in Flint to add filters to those houses with issues & hopefully fix perception of those that are actually good. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 11, 2018The efforts attracted the attention of Flint Mayor Karen Weaver, who reached out to Musk on Twitter to set up a conversation originally scheduled for Friday. Mr. Musk, I am the Mayor of Flint. I would like to have a conversation with you about Flint’s specific needs. — Karen About Flint (@karenaboutflint) July 11, 2018Weaver told ABC News Friday afternoon that while she and Musk have not spoken yet, she did have a conversation with Musk’s team that gave her hope that Musk could help with improving local confidence in water quality. "We felt it was so important for us to start putting new pipes in the ground and that was the first step in rebuilding that trust. When you get a call from someone like Mr. Musk it gives residents great confidence," Weaver said. Weaver said she used the call to lay out ideas for how Musk and his team could be of help, but that ultimately they will take whatever help he thinks would be most useful. "We’ll take our direction from him and see how he feels he can be best helpful to Flint moving forward," she said. Jake May/The Flint Journal-MLive.com via AP Crews work to dig out and replace lead service lines on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at the 2300 block of Calumet Street in Flint, Mich. Musk previously offered to provide solar electricity options to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and volunteered to send his own equipment and staff to assist in the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a cave in Thailand. But the efforts to persuade Musk to help Flint stem from a source that’s more directly connected to the Flint community. Mari Copeny, a 10-year-old local activist known as "Little Miss Flint," tweeted she has been working with Musk’s team for over a week on coming up with a solution for Flint that he could fund. Hey world. Let’s set the record straight. My team has been working with @elonmusk and his team for over a week to figure out the best solution to help #Flint with the #FlintwaterCrisis Extremely grateful for him and all he has done so far. — Mari Copeny (@LittleMissFlint) July 12, 2018Musk worked with Copeny earlier this month, donating at least 500 bikes meant for children in the Flint area as a way of helping a community event she had organized. Thank you @elonmusk for making my birthday wish come true and welcome to #TeamMari #FlintKids #500Bikes — Mari Copeny (@LittleMissFlint) July 6, 2018Musk's tweets come as Flint residents still grapple with the continued after-effects of the crisis. Local residents have sued local government authorities, contractors and companies tasked with maintaining the city’s water supply seeking damages. The residents’ class-action lawsuit had a hearing in federal court earlier this week.
