Paul Graham: I think it's ok to use the up and down arrows to express agreement. Obviously the uparrows aren't only for applauding politeness, so it seems reasonable that the downarrows aren't only for booing rudeness. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171
I stand corrected...
I wish them all the success in the world in the face of increased competition. They basically started the "no compromise electric car" market, in the face of an army of naysayers, and the last few years have been extremely rough on both the company and Musk personally. IMO they pretty much deserve to win. Disclosure: I hold no TSLA, and don't own any of their cars. I just like dogged persistence in the face of imposs…
Amen.

Best to look at the earnings release itself to get the most objective picture. Or if you want a single metric, look at the after-hours stock movement. TSLA is up 20%, so it can't all be bad news.
> Or if you want a single metric, look at the after-hours stock movement. I think this is a good rule of thumb, but for famously volatile securities (Tesla, Bitcoin, etcetera) you are really just swimming in a sea of irrational exuberance and nobody knows how it's going to end. Maybe Tesla will be the world's richest company in 10 years. Maybe Tesla will go bankrupt in 2. I don't know, but looking at Tesla stock tren…
Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but it is amazing to me how differently various publications are spinning the same basic facts. Some headline samples: "Tesla shares soar after crushing third-quarter earnings" CNBC "Tesla's Quarterly Profit Drops 54%" WSJ "Tesla returns to profitability and tops Wall Street's third-quarter earnings" Business Insider "Tesla ekes out a profit as all eyes turn to its China Gigafacto…

why did you pick 9 years? When you use an arbitrary number like that, it looks like cherry picking.
imho was still a fair question, no need to downvote. Not arguing with the index argument, but I've had finance "experts" trying to pull similar tricks on me by using weird years, etc.
Flip the bozo bit xor conman bit on anyone using the former.

Bet there are always multiple headlines and they're A/B tested for the most views.
Cry wolf enough times and you just start getting ignored though. I can't say I ever click on any Business Insider or the Verge articles anymore regardless of title.
If people would ignore fake news, we wouldn't have so much misinformation issues, people biting the onion and flat earthers.

maybe not but how many people in china were displaced and what was the human cost and environmental cost?
Human cost? As in deaths?

What’s the importance of trac performance in this context? The Tuscan also quickly runs out of charge at top speed and then be forced into a car or battery swap. PS: At the extreme Indy cars average 1.92 MPG, batteries are just a poor fit for any kind of endurance racing.

The meat of my comment was about batteries overheating, not being drained. We have no idea how well Porsche will cool their batteries in their car until someone has had a chan…

Hill climb races tend to be a few minutes and would work just fine with electric vehicles. EX: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikes_Peak_International_Hil...
