    it is not up to us (as individual investors) avoid, it is more whether there are enough people with
    lot of free cashflow who are able to execute the short squeeze.




    if you don't mind, run that by me with details,

    how would you profit from SQQQ & TQQQ


    do they, in tandem, work like executing a collar using options contracts; buy a call and buy a put?​

    Rivian Is Winning Over Tesla Owners Tired Of Elon Musk's Antics


    Rivian is a small California start-up experiencing a wobbly start to its EV journey, bleeding thousands of dollars behind every vehicle sold.
    But Tesla was there once too, and now there's a palpable sense of hope and confidence in Rivian’s brand image,
    untainted by the controversies that plague Tesla.​


    Former Tesla owners are on the hunt for their next EV, creating an opportunity for
    EV startups,
    as well as legacy automakers, to gain ground.

    Polestar dealer looked busy this weekend. They're all trash to me though. If it isn't Japanese or German it's of the LOW STATUS

    My son prefers Japanese made Fender Strats over American made.
    Good thing he has 3. at present.

    Only American guitars he covets are Charvel's specifically the San Dimas models, and PRS private stock for jazz.

    Japanese Ibanez guitars used to be THE deal to be had. I think they're priced accordingly nowadays.

    Which is a bad thing for Americans.

    Among all other companies, Tesla is our best hope against Chinese EV and robots. I guess Hyundai is close but not what you expect from big guns in Detroit, Japan, or Germany

    I disagree, if America can't compete, so be it, competition right?

    Do better.

    China invests a TON of their tax revenue towards growing tech, we used to do that too.....need to get back to it, once we convince the MORONS in this country it is better off spreading wealth than putting it with the top 1%

    And thats the main problem.

    It's like being an ugly chick and being a rude racist fk at the same time.

    Even when you take out the racist fk part out, still ugly.

    Some people are pretty on the inside.
    But I'm an outside kind of guy.

    Yeah, I am more optimistic than you - I am very familiar with the Chinese educational system, and how they do in the US system and there are lots of issues. Having said that, I agree - I am not cheering for the downfall of Tesla. Elon Musk is an emotional cripple and doesn't seem like a good person, but Ford was an antisemite that liked Hitler, Thomas Edison was a penis, Steve Jobs was bad news -- Bezos is a weirdo.... many of the greatest creators were bad people. They just need to know to keep their nose out of politics.

    apparently a low status..?

    Q1 2022: 310,048 vehicles delivered, a period of rapid expansion before supply chain issues peaked.

    Q1 2023: 422,875 vehicles delivered, reflecting strong growth as Tesla scaled production at Giga Shanghai and Giga Texas.

    Q1 2024: 386,810 vehicles delivered. This was Tesla’s first year-over-year quarterly decline in years, attributed to production challenges and competition from BYD.

    Q1 2025: 336,681 vehicles (reported April 2, 2025). 13% drop year over year.
