vuduchile 1,941 Posted September 7, 2018 This behavior on the heels of his ongoing war of words with the pedo guy rescuer and his false claim that hed secured funding to take the company private. Stock dropped as much as 10% today. Are we buying or selling at this point? https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/tesla-chief-accounting-officer-leaves-124213201.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,311 Posted September 7, 2018 What's their schtick? Electric cars. When much more reputable companies are doing and doing that well I think Tesla will be left holding the bag. Are you gonna buy a Tesla or a Mercedes? They're building cars in tents. That company's doomed imo. I've been wrong before though so grain of salt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying youre wrong here but Tesla seems to be better than anything else currently on the market. I dont own any Tesla stock and the guy seems like a nut job.

supermike80 1,287 Posted September 7, 2018 Not saying youre wrong here but Tesla seems to be better than anything else currently on the market. Not if you read some reviews. Poor body alignment....finicky engine components. Difficult parts to locate. Tesla has that "I wanna be cool" vibe going but that never lasts. Their cars look cool for sure but they won't be trendy for long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naomi 343 Posted September 8, 2018 I watched the whole Joe Rogan interview (YouTube) and the way the headlines refer to it don't match it. Musk was a little awkward in the beggining but he didn't act loony by any means, and they settled into comfortable, thought provoking conversation that at times sounded like stoner convo even before Rogan had the joints brought out. It actually made me think Musk is stabler than things have been starting to seem. They didn't talk about it, but I think he regrets responding to that diver's initial criticism in kind, and then just digging the hole deeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's too bad Joe Rogan never shuts up, because Elon Musk is a really interesting guy. Obviously he has some form of aspergers or something, that makes him a little socially awkward. He didn't even inhale, so it's pretty much impossible for him to be stoned. And who cares if he was. Execs go out and drink cocktails all of the time, but pot is some huge deal because we have a retarded and antiquated law about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SenatorRock 708 Posted September 30, 2018 Tesla cars are lame. I appreciate the tech, but they are still for fags. If I were going to (or could) drop $75k-$125 on a vehicle the S or X would not be in my top 5, or even top 10 likely. I would still drive the fock out of either one though if someone tossed me the key fob or I won the lottery and wanted an EV in the stable., they are fun rides.
