[update]Elon and Friends moving to Texas, Samsung $17 billion plant in Taylor

Nobody truly understands Elon. If you think you are one step behind, you're probably closer to 10.

Expect Musk to consolidate his businesses under x.com. it will be the world's most valuable company by far. Instead of giving dividends in cash, you will be given X bucks, the currency of Mars. X.com generates the steady flow of x bucks only to x.com stock holders.

 

Most of Elon's value is built on hype. Tesla is valued more than manufacturers who produce and sell far more vehicles. Elon bubble going to burst some time in the near future.

 

that would be a pretty good bet I think

 

Tesla's battery tech and drivetrain tech is nothing special compared to what other manufacturers have. Tesla's advantage currently is their infrastructure for supercharging stations.

Other manufacturers have the ability to produce just as efficient motors with similar ranges. The difference is those manufacturers are far more experienced in manufacturing the chassis along with having far superior fit and finish.

That's why I don't see much hope for Tesla in the future. There is no incentive to own a Tesla once companies like Toyota and Ford are mass producing 30 grand msrp full EVs. Their EVs will have similar range but the overall driving experience will be much better with much better fit and finish..


Elon's dreams of being the real world Tony Stark isn't going to happen because of Tesla.

 

Dude, Tesla's stock evaluation is almost all hot air.

 

That is what people misunderstand. Its closer to a software company that sells cars. Look at Microsoft value.
Then the car has the best surveillance system out there...constantly collecting data. This data is more useful to the company instead of selling it to the lowest bidders like advertisers and the government.
And then there is the data network. Tesla phones anyone?

This isn't pie in the sky dreaming. Tesla is going to pull into a lot of different markets.

 

I watch Clutch City VHS on OLED.

 

i used to be a skeptic, and if they had to grow organically they wouldn't be where they are today; but they've been able to do so many stock offerings now without the price going down, they've converted that hype into real $ to put into r&d/factories. i was trying to count, i think the total cash flow they received from stock offerings alone in 2020 was around 75% of toyota's annual r&d budget. That's a huge advantage over their competitors that had to actually generate cash from each car sold. At some point it becomes self-fulfilling, they are leading in the technology, and i've started to add shares on down days. I see the same thing happening with NNDM.

 

Sounds like Apple to me. Look how Steve jobs were able to build an empire on hype

 

Well the drive tech and battery is nothing special compared to the competition because he gave free usage to his patents To those competitors which I think it is a brilliant move

 

Why was NNDM priced so high years ago, before falling? Bubble? My positions on NNDM keep growing but I just like the name, Cathie Woods, and the reasons that cause it to dip lately. Most important though is the name.
