I just ordered a 37,000AUD BYD, the "$25k (USD) car" that Elon used to promise was coming. Seems like I'm not the only one with 2779 BYD EVs sold in the country in January compared to just 501 Teslas.[1] [1] https://business.carsales.com.au/news-room/news/vfacts-janua...

This is a quote from Tesla latest earnings call, at 04 min.. "Because we're really moving into a future that is based on autonomy and so if you're interested in buying a Model S and X, now would be the time to order it, because we expect to wind down S and X production in next quarter and basically stop production of Model S and X next quarter.

I bet Chinese robots will be cheaper lol.

Given less than stellar sales how come TSLA stock is not far below all times high and 15% higher than a year ago? Investors still expect some miracle?

God help us all if AI takes over the stock market and starts making rational decisions!

That happened already with the 2010 flash crash.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This reads to me like someone saying “you can’t dump me, because I am preemptively dumping you.” It is a forced pivot to avoid having to admit failure.

> It is a forced pivot to avoid having to admit failure. It is also a neat way to reset Elon's Very Reliable Prediction Clock. I look forward to hearing about how fully functional Optimus robots will be ready to ship "later this year" for the next 10 years.

I wonder if they'll be similarly "self-driving"

I thought this was the greatest product demo

I struggle to imagine what the US version of this intimidating propaganda movie would look like. My mind renders only pictures of square dancing.

I think those are just two of the models that aren't pushed particularly hard. As I understand it, Model 3 and Model Y are the major models in recent time?

I think S, X and Cybertruck are just 3% of 2025 deliveries?

It's a cult. Really. This is a stock devoid of any connection to reality, fundamentals, products, anything. All that matters is that Musk is on the nameplate. Do not bet against the ability of people in a cult to remain irrational in the face of overwhelming evidence. Do not touch the cult.

My (2019) Tesla has been the most reliable car I've ever owned, but it sure seems like they're not interested in being a car company anymore.

Not having turn stalks and the drive selector, making me either pay for internet access or use bluetooth if I want to play spotify or youtube music (which I get for 'free' in cars with CarPlay or Android Auto), making the cybertruck way too big for a garage, discontinuing the model S and X...like are they even trying?

They used to have a third row option for the model Y, good for small kids or something, but then they got rid of that.

They were going to do the roadster, but didn't bother. They only have 6 paint colors, not even options for PTS. It's like they don't want to be a successful car company.

Are there that many unemployed actors available?
