No one cares about earnings.

FSD beta release is where it's at.

I care about earnings because I didn't buy enuff TAAT for my ticket to Tendie Town.

So, Tesla has had 5 quarters in a row of profits - that's good. But they only make profits because of selling credits to other automakers, that's not as good.
Will shut up a lot of naysayers when they make profits on their "core business" of manufacturing automobiles.

Seems that selling credits of this type isn't something that can stay profitable forever. Either regulatory environment will change, or other companies will find another source.

There is profit and then there is “profit to justify a 400 Billion EV”, currently at 120X EBITDA multiple.

Your choice if you think that makes sense.

Oh man, I can't, and probably never will, invest in that stock. It falls into the big bucket of "companies I don't understand".

That's not entirely accurate. Dive into the financial statements and listen to the calls.
Forget what I said. Just buy TAAT, CNRL, PPL, a pole, and VGRO.

You sure you don't own a pole? You should if you don't. The cardio is amazing.

Has anyone done a case study on purchasing TSLA weeklies every Monday? I wouldn’t “invest” at this evaluation either... but are the odds better than the 1/3rds bets on a roulette table?

THAT I am good at. Also good at invoicing for safety moment presentations.

This partly explains why a lot of people still can't get a handle on the valuation.

Don't suffer from Tesla Derangement Syndrome.

FCA credits will effectively fund Giga Berlin...and a large chunk of the CEO bonuses.

Is there a reason the Federal rebate is only for vehicles $50,000 and less? I was kind of interested in a LR Model 3 but it misses the mark to be applicable for any rebates

It's just how it is. They used to have a SR- that snuck under that threshold.

Because rich people are the enemy and cannot be encouraged to exist.
