Tesla stock has its worst day in two years

I’m sure that’ll pay those ast due bills from sub contractors.

Tesla

In February, with Tesla trading at $280, Goldman Sachs downgraded it to a sell causing a quick downdraft which accelerated after UBS issued a sell recommendation soon after. A week later, Gorden Lamtold us he was buying on the pullback. Today, the stock is at $338.

Goldman and UBS think Tesla is overvalued because they compare it to other car companies. For example, Ford had sales of $151 billion in 2016 and has a market cap of $47 billion. Tesla’s 2016 sales were $4 billion but its market cap is $56 billion.





Sound compelling? Ten years ago, Wall Street used to compare Apple to Microsoft to make the case that Apple was overvalued at $22. Just as Microsoft was not a good comp for Apple then, Ford is not a good comp for Tesla now. Here’s why.

As Gorden said in February, electric cars are only Tesla’s first initiative. The products that Tesla will create in the next 10 years will “change the way we view renewable energy, transportation, and commerce.”

I think that Tesla is the wave of the future. A young company with some teething problems, but with many products already proving their worth.

Dumb looking vehicle. Wasted space all over the vehicle. Probably would have handled like a 1950's pig. Here is a car that handles well, 0 to 60, 1.9 seconds. 0 to 100 in 4 seconds. 8.8 quarter mile. 250+ mph top end. All for only $250,000. 600 miles per charge. And that is the base model.

That is what a real roadster looks like.

I should buy one quick. When Tesla goes into Chapter 11, they'll become as rare as Deloreans.

You silly asses have been predicting that since Tesla started. Looks to me as if Musk will make it, and become one of the richest men in the world. Even if he goes broke, he will have made a difference. Which is more than most of us, including you, can say.

Lol.....that's a fake car to over 99% of the public. You see....costs matter but not the progressives who navigate every day in makey-uppy land. That goofy roadster costs.....ready for this.....$250,000.00!! And you drive for awhile and have to pull into some side of the road charge station and sit for an hour where the social oddball types who actually buy these cars are whipping out their pudleys for a few pulls. C'mon now....one can grab a 911 TurboS for cheaper.

The normal Teslas are styled like Nissan Altima's with some aftermarket parts.

Battery technology is gonna have to come into the 21st century before Tesla ever becomes more than a niche part of the market. Selling 200,000 cars is laughable

Many bigs in the car industry like Roger Penske ( what would he know? ) says good chance Tesla goes down.. Too....in the real world, if you are Musk, you are fucking with alooooooooot of people. Billions of dollars across many markets. And we all know how that works out.....in the real world.

 

[skookerasbil]

Oh let's not forget....these same people who get giddy over electric cars also think eventually Harley bike guys are going to want electric motorcycles. And they really think that!!

Did you notice how he inflated the Tesla Model 3 performance the same way he does it with CO2 ?
0 to 100 in 4 seconds.. 250+ mph top end..And that is the base model.
225 Kilometers per hour became 250+ miles per hour and the 5.1 seconds 0 to 100 km per hour acc. of that Tesla is only 4 seconds according to him.
They should remake this movie and OldRocks should play that part:

If you're going to make up a fictional conveyance ... you should at least give it some cool powers ...

Unless you run the heater, then it's 400 miles per charge
AC? Same.
Lights? cut down on that milage?
Radio? Same.
Kids watching videos in the back? It counts against the milage.

Or worse, trying to stay warm while being stuck on the road during a snow storm....Like in this year in March during Europe`s cold snap and the Military was sent to rescue drivers. If you were in an electric car you would be a popsicle by the time they get to you. Where I live there are many roads where it`s over 400 miles just to get to the next gas station but that`s no problem in a Ford E150 van and dual tanks

Even worse.....waiting for a charge on a 95 degree day!! While heading to a formal function!!

Hey dumb fuck, the Roadster 2 is not the same vehicle as the Tesla 3. Not only that;

2018 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Performance Review: First Taste - Motor Trend

Tesla's acceleration claims (which we've repeatedly matched or beaten with other Tesla vehicles) state the Model 3 Dual Motor Performance scats to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. A traction-limited rear-wheel-drive BMW M3 Competition pack and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio we tested did 4.3 and 3.9 seconds, respectively, and the less powerful but AWD Audi S4 managed 4.2. In a tweet, Musk suggested that tires even grippier than this car's Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber (235/35ZR20 ) might whittle this to 3.3—but also put a nick in the car's 310-mile range.

With a top end of 155 mph. That is the Tesla 3 Performance edition. Fast, but not anywhere near as fast as the Roadster 2. And note that Motortrend states that they match or exceed the claims when they test the Tesla's.

What a bunch of liars. So link to where the heater significantly changes the mileage. Yes, cold weather does cut down the range. But it does the same for ICE's because of the slower traffic.
