Tesla Bombed. Anyone Buying?

Playboy has a new girlfriend.

Maybe he meant a new eye candy, not a real candy company.

I like his old flame Amber better… But isn’t Elon sleeping on factory floor nowadays? Why does he have time fooling around?

If you want to do something you will make time.

You follow him too much. When are you going to turn into his advocate? :rofl:

I like that he’s taking such direct and swift action. Every company has areas that it can cut some fat but it’s really hard for most CEOs to take this kind of action. It’s divisive and it leaves him open to attack. Much easier to just keep going. I guess with the cash situation he doesn’t really have that choice, but still it’s great that he is executing amid all the media FUD. I am a BUY on TESLA.

Remember, you are reponding to @manch, the arch-enemy and diehard critic of Mr. Musk’s “playboy” ways. Your comment will be rebuffed by him in the harshest way imaginable. :rofl:

:fearful:

If he was executing, they’d be making 5,000 cars a week not 2,000. If you did 40% of your job, would you still have your job?

But he still has his job. I don’t understand how come a ceo can underperform so much yet still able to keep his job… :scream:

Signed,

From Automotive News:

It typically takes 30 to 36 months from factory groundbreaking to vehicles rolling off the production line, AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan told Automotive News.”Elon is over-promising and surely will be underdelivering,” Sullivan said. “I thought the Model 3 launch would bring out a more humble side of Musk.”

In September 2015, Volvo broke ground on its first car plant in the U.S., near Charleston, S.C. About 31 months later, it still hasn’t started commercial production on the S60 sedan.

He has a new flame, the flame thrower :smile:

It’s interesting, because Tesla is also going against the rest of the industry. Right now, everyone is scaling back car production for crossovers, trucks, and SUVs. Cars aren’t selling well with relatively cheap gas prices. Now Tesla is trying to ramp production of a small sedan at a time when consumers are going away from sedans.

My impression is he’s taking this part over now and is going to manage it himself to get to a good outcome. I have many parts of my work, where I am the best at getting it done if I set my mind to it. For example, I’m an excellent recruiter and could probably be a great director or vp of recruiting. But it’s not really my job. If suddenly the company will fail unless we figure out hiring, I’d make it my job if I was the CEO! That is what he is doing. He is laser focusing on it now. He was distracted for a while by other things.

He’s laser focused on women. :scream:

Even now, electric cars are attractive and economical. This is my fifth year with two electric cars. We take gas powered van for long distance travel only .

But, I am cancelling Tesla model 3 and buying bolt lease.
