What does "tolerance" have to do with shitty earnings reports?Such tolerance.
Do you keep your investments in losing stocks because you feel sorry for them?

Musk put in place supermajority voting rules that mean he is effectively insulated from board activists.
I’d never seen one of these. Doesn’t look that bad but sounds like reliability is awful.As someone who loves to pylon (deliberate) Elon Musk, all one needs to do is look at sales figures for the Dodge Hornet to see that there is at least one vehicle that is much, much worse. The Cybertruck at least had a decent opening gun.
The Dodge Hornet was a vehicle nobody asked for, did nothing remotely good, looks unremarkable in all respects - and rewarded all that with absolutely horrific sales. It has never, not once, actually sold even "merely slowly" - it's been terrible sales-wise at ALL times.
Stellantis will probably never actually sell all of them - most will find their way into rental fleets or go to auction. And it's an overstatement to state they can't give them away - but it ain't far from that being factually true.

As for reliability, it's a Stellantis product - that's all that needs to be said.
I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee about 25 years ago that was one of my favorite vehicles ever. Drove it for 10 years, 180,000 miles until I sold it.
I would not buy that vehicle today.
Tesla has an earnings call this week. That should be enlightening. Q2 will be worse.
Read some info on this today. This truck has some possibilities if they keep it stupid simple (therefore inexpensive).
It's the add-ons that will increase the costs.
But anyone looking for a bare-bones truck as a fleet vehicle for their construction, handyman, landscape, irrigation company - that's a damn cheap vehicle that will cost 1/8th or less for fuel compared to gas. Not going to replace trucks needed for heavier hauling or towing, but you can buy 3 of them for the cost of one of those at this price....
Tesla FSD will be 100% safe, once we're no longer able to legally track ANY accidents caused by Tesla FSD...
SIAP
Looks like they are facing a class action on their vehicles not having accurate odometers that then helps them to both get out of warranty work and have the added benefit of inflating miles traveled between charges. If they truly did not put classic odometer in cars and have instead what they describe here, it is shady as **** if always over estimating…

Tesla Faces Class Action Lawsuit Alleging Odometer Manipulation
Tesla is facing a proposed class action lawsuit in California accusing the company of deliberately inflating odometer readings in its vehicles. The lawsuit claims Tesla manipulated vehicle mileage data to shorten warranty periods and reduce […]driveteslacanada.ca
“According to the claims in the lawsuit, Tesla’s odometer system estimates mileage using predictive algorithms that factor in energy consumption and driver behavior, unlike traditional odometers that rely on physical distance measurement. The lawsuit argues that Tesla assigns lower efficiency values to aggressive driving — such as rapid acceleration — causing the system to report inflated distances.
These discrepancies, the complaint alleges, can artificially accelerate depreciation, force early warranty expiration, and pressure owners into purchasing extended warranties.
The lawsuit claims that Tesla’s algorithmic approach can inflate mileage readings, and that “Tesla knowingly overstates the distances traveled in Tesla vehicles,” calling the practice a calculated effort to reduce warranty-related costs and increase profit margins.
Tesla has not publicly commented on the lawsuit, and none of the claims have been verified in court.“
How good are those robots to begin with? Seen some of his expo functions. The robots still had to be remote controlled. Or is this a different sector.
The robots were essentially "wireless puppets", that were mimicking motions of a wired-up human in an adjacent room.How good are those robots to begin with? Seen some of his expo functions. The robots still had to be remote controlled. Or is this a different sector.
Well I didn’t know if they had a different sector of robots. Perhaps for manufacturingThe robots were essentially "wireless puppets", that were mimicking motions of a wired-up human in an adjacent room.
Maybe you could "scale" that for some types of operations, but not all that much.
Humans have tactile "feel" for things they are contacting and doing. Unless Tesla has come up with some tactile-skin they can coat their robot hands with, it's going to be a bit of a challenge to take over things humans do.
They're trying to make a humanoid robot, when what the industry really needs is just automation, not things that walk around and look like a person.Well I didn’t know if they had a different sector of robots. Perhaps for manufacturing
Even for things for a Mars or moon environment. The best use of robotics would be machinery that operates itself or with little human interaction. Similar to deep sea drilling.They're trying to make a humanoid robot, when what the industry really needs is just automation, not things that walk around and look like a person.
Weird.
We were told the new Model Y was going to boost sales in April...
Tesla bulls attribute depressed demand to the new Model Y changeover, which also resulted in a production slowdown. However, the EV maker began deliveries of the new Model Y, although only for the all-wheel drive version, in European regions like Germany in March. Whether those deliveries ramped up to a higher volume is unclear at this point. But what is clear is that the new Model Y is available for delivery.
April YoY numbers-
Spain: -36%
Germany: -46%
Belgium: -55%
France: -59%
UK: -62%
Denmark: -67%
Netherlands: -74%
Sweden: -81%
Maybe Russia is pickin' up all the slack...
Keep track of incentives being offered as well. Currently offering 0.0% APR for model 3 and 1.9% on the newly refreshed, best selling, model Y.Weird.

Tesla Cybertruck $16K Range Extender and Original Promised Range Is Officially Not Happening — The Drive
Last October, Tesla announced it was adding a range extender option to the Cybertruck. It was mostly an attempt to finally give its controversial truck the range Elon Musk promised when it launched, but ultimately failed to deliver.stocks.apple.com
