I can't see them selling a lot of these monstrosities. The new growth market is in affordable smaller cars which are starting to emerge from the likes of BYD and GWM. Musk preferred to make his sci-fi fantasy tank. Meanwhile the company overall is running out of charge.

“We were dead wrong expecting Musk and team to step up like adults in the room on the call and give a strategic and financial overview of the ongoing price cuts, margin structure, and fluctuating demand....instead we got a high-level Tesla long-term view with another train wreck conference call.”

And exactly what I have said all along, Tesla only exists because there were no competitors, they either need to get smart and dump Musk and his silly cybertruck ideas, I mean they are great for a scifi first off the ground electric car maker because they bring in a lot of money and attention, but that era is over and they either need to cater to the market or sell off everything to somebody who will bring them back to reality.

Without self-driving Tesla has no edge.

Tesla's self-driving kills people.

Dodgy engineering and vapid marketting stunts can only get you so far.

"Frankly, I think if there are not trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other car companies in the world,” Musk said of China’s automakers.

I assume these are free market trade barriers

Reminds me of his absolute free speech (except when he doesn't approve).

Rob customers? Ya. Rob employees? Sure, everyone does.

But ye cannae rob the shareholders, it seems.

A judge has ruled that Elon Musk's record-breaking $US56 billion ($84 billion) Tesla pay package could be voided, calling the compensation "an unfathomable sum" that was not fair to shareholders.

Kathaleen McCormick of Delaware's Court of Chancery found the package was negotiated by directors who seemed beholden to their headline-making CEO and the promise of allowing him to share in the company's enormous growth.
