My point is the public wants affordable SUVs and trucks no matter how much the commies in Sacramento want to force us to drive low clearance short range glorified golf carts. Read your article. Toyota predicts EVs will be only 6% of the market in 2025. BTW my 4Runner will plow through 3’ of light snow.
Of course EV will dominate. Just like fake meat will dominate.
Stand on the wrong side of history and you will get steamrolled.
Shorts haven’t been selling really.
We’ve moved past Tesla being a rich toy for Californians.
I was in Hong Kong a few weeks ago and couldn’t believe how many Teslas we’re the road, China and California will drive EV adoption early but it’s pretty clear this trend is going to be a big deal.
It’s hilarious that the traditional players can’t get their act together except for maybe Ford. Tesla’s software and charging advantages Tesla are going to make it a LOT harder to catch-up than people think.
That’s why I ordered one of these. When I first saw it I thought it was a joke but it grew on me. Have always felt I needed a tank for CA highways…soon will have one. Paint is so last year.

Your picture does not prove that point. Your pic just shows a sedan stuck in snow. A 4Runner is a great car no doubt but that’s a SUV.
If the Sac commies wants us to drive golf carts, I’m just glad it’s an American company making the carts rather than German, Japanese or Chinese.
Please continue to enjoy your 4 Runner. Toyotas make good cars and millions of others would agree with you. I’m not denying that.
I’m glad it’s American company making these “urban toys for rich environmentalists.” If they want to waste their money, I’ll let them.
As an Individual, you’re welcomed to vote with your wallet, vote your politician, attend town halls, protest, petition, and/or fund groups/causes that share your views. Good luck.
I voted with my pocket book. Sodoes everyone in America. They want SUVs and trucks. The X was a bomb. Tesla stock is up on hype. The Ford F-150 is what the market wants. Get out of your little SF bubble and see what Americans drive. Nobody want sedans anymore. Ford will stop production soon except for the Mustangs, toys for rednecks.

If Tesla is bankrupted in a few years then so be it. I won’t shed tear. Competition and the market will decide that.
Whether the stock is extremely overvalued or not, I have no idea but I have a feeling you do.
I might be living in the Bay Area bubble, but my image cant be that good with my 2018 F-150 and my beat-up econoline van.
Nevertheless I’ll continue to enjoy my urban toy.
Greta makes me puke. Trying to legislate engineering and human behavior is creating hatred not better cars. Tesla is a niche car and always will be. Just like solar will provide 20% max of total power needs. Greenies better embrace nuclear. Their stupid brethren shut it down in 1978. Think how much less CO2 there would be if we had 100% nuclear power in the last 40 years.
Some well known has not been selling, so plenty of short squeeze til these bears gave up or when market/AAPL turns bearish.
Don’t forget Apple Titan is hiding in the shadow.
Success in China means Tesla is here to stay. Tesla would steamroll traditional car makers till the Titan lurches.
My image was never good with a mainstream Toyota Camry.
The Tesla Skeptics Who Bet Against Elon Musk
$TSLAQ is an informal collection of obsessives pushing back against the cult of Elon.
I thought they fired most of that team, quit the idea of making whole car, and now focusing on autonomous systems?
Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple is working on an Apple Car that will launch between 2023 and 2025, despite rumors suggesting that Apple has ceased its work on an autonomous vehicle and is instead focusing on software.
Apple in August 2018 re-hired Doug Field, who spent five years working at Tesla where he oversaw production of the Model 3. Field served as Apple’s VP of Mac Hardware Engineering until he left Apple for Tesla in 2013.
Field is said to be working under Bob Mansfield on Apple’s self-driving car program, suggesting Apple could still be interested in building its own autonomous vehicle.
Apple in July hired Steve MacManus, a former Tesla executive with expertise in car exteriors and interiors. MacManus now works as a “Senior Director” at Apple and could be working on Apple’s car project.
Apple is rumored to be operating a secret vehicle research and development lab in Berlin. The facility is said to employ between 15 and 20 men and women from the German automotive industry, all with backgrounds in engineering, software, hardware, and sales. The workers at the lab have all been described as “progressive thinkers” in their fields.
Apple in late 2018 leased a large manufacturing facility in Milpitas, California. It’s not clear what Apple plans to use the site for, but it could potentially be related to the car project.
In any case, even if not the full car, Apple will work with partners like Lexus, Volkswagen, … definitely won’t work with Tesla.
Btw, when late SJ returned in 1997, he talked with Lee Iacocca and visited a few car manufacturing factories.
