They all look similar including the new shiny model Y, especially on the inside. Do you think they have a chance once the playing field heats up by 2020
They still have the only charger network that enables convenient travel.
And gigafactory. I dunno how vw plans to keep with battery demand.
They did Wonderful so far but it cannot be sustainable now that they got to the mass market. Their valuation is crazy due to Elon musk hype. In my opinion they will be bankrupt and cut into pieces in the next 5 years. It is also possible that they will emerge as the winners, but I don't think they understand how to make cheap car at scale
Stock is flat after hours, the big announcement events don’t work anymore
Elon has desensitized the market with his Twitter behaviour. Of course the stock is flat. Also, Model Y isn't really a splash. Very incremental to M3.
Elon Musk should resign.
Tesla’s problem is they are too overvalued...their technology is ripe for an acquisition but their market cap is so insane no one could justify it.. maybe a merger but Elon is too prideful to recognize they need an established players know how as it pertains to assembly/parts/support etc.
Disagree- you must be comparing them to other unionized and highly regulated car companies. Hypothetically, companies selling a $50K product people must have is a great market to be in, provided they can escape those two challenges.
First I would argue that no one “needs” a 50k car, although I will concede most people seem to manage to get financing for a vehicle that equals their yearly salary. But that aside most people still view Tesla as a really nice to have vehicle as long as you have a gas vehicle to supplement it with so now you’re talking about 50k vehicle that has an entry requirement of a gas vehicle. I do agree that it’s a good market to be in and that Tesla makes a solid product that is reasonably priced for what it is. I just think that market isn’t nearly ready for it and Tesla still has an up hill battle where their supply chain management is concerned
