YES, MR Musk will be Gibbing it away Gibbing it away Gibbing it away NOW. ALL TSLA PATENTS ARE OPEN FOR FAIR USE.
"San Francisco, United States:
Elon Musk announced Thursday he had released all of the electric carmaker Tesla's patents, as part of an effort to fight climate change.
In a blog post, the colorful billionaire founder of Tesla promised the company "will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology."
It was a remarkable move in an industry where the smallest idea or seed of invention is carefully guarded to protect its monetary value.
And it in fact came on the same day US prosecutors charged a Chinese national with stealing secrets from Apple's self-driving vehicle project.
"Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport," Musk said. "If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal."" IT SEEMS HE'S GOING TO Gib it away Gib it away Gib it away now Gib it away Gib it away Gib it away now Gib it away Gib it away Gib it away now

Moosie, I want a prediction for tomorrow’s earnings report. How is Elon gonna sugar coat another quarterly loss and is he gonna get out his personal checkbook to pay off the $922 million bond due in 2 months? The market could hammer you tomorrow!
Well? Now the info is out there. What are the answers to these leading questions that you posed? How much was the quarterly loss? Oh. It wasn’t a loss. How are they going to pay? Oh, with the cash on hand. That’s embarrassing for you eh?

Person not paying attention noted, quote: "Does Couchaster realize that the stock was trading $30 higher a year ago, or that it peaked in the early summer of 2017 $70 higher than it traded today?"
We should ask him.

Yes, I’m totally devastated. So you don’t know the difference between a statement and a question, either? Nooo, it wasn’t a loss but it wasn’t far off, unless you’re guzzling koolaid.
Question: Who’s buying TSLA? I know there are a few institutional buyers but almost assuredly the majority are koolaid guzzlers. I look forward to being embarrassed.

Ummmm, I asked a question. With a question mark. Did you get it confused with a statement? Sure looks like it by your extensive reply. I made no more of a claim with my question than you did. But your response makes it clear that you want to cover your butt with your question mark while denying the same to others. You could be honest with your self - because your aren’t fooling anyone else.
-27C on my 5 hr drive home last night. Tesla did perfect, doesn't have any problems. Unlike some of the gassers that couldn't get started as 1 or 2 of their 2000 moving parts happened to have a hard time moving when their electric battery and motor try to turn the engine over.

Car companies designed cars for people where in silicon valley, hi-tech engineers who had no f*#king idea what it takes to build a car build a car named "TESLA".

So cold this week that many people’s cars weren’t starting and they were missing their dental appointments. Good thing those high tech engineers living in the desert in California did such a good job- the Tesla drove perfectly in -30 to -40 even the four 5-hour trips back and forth for my grandpa’s death/funeral. Even handles the snow better than anything else I’ve driven - and we have snow covering the road five months a year up here. Why can’t Ford figure that out better? They have had years to build cars in Canada. On the last trip I pulled vehicles out of ditches or helped put people into ambulances from 4 vehicle incidences. Towing is so much better too.
I’d say Tesla is not only winning at their mission statement “ accelerate the advent of sustainable transportation “ but also at just making cars that function well.
I can see how you wouldn’t appreciate a lot of the features being from California where a moped worked for me just as well as a car, but for where we get real weather for almost half the year, the difference is black and white.

I've certainly had my doubts about Tesla's long term viability. But I think it more likely they survive than not. And bankruptcy wouldn't have to kill the company. It could be reorganized and continued.
In 3 years I'm guessing buying a Tesla will be like buying an iPhone instead of Android.
Great product. But you would be able to get the same functionality cheaper. Just won't have the same cachet.

Reuters:
Exclusive: Tesla's delivery team gutted in recent job cuts - sources
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - When Tesla Inc announced last month a second round of job cuts to rein in costs, one crucial department was particularly badly hit. The automaker more than halved the division that delivers its electric vehicles to North American customers, two of the laid-off workers said.
Some 150 employees out of a team of about 230 were let go in January at the Las Vegas facility that gets tens of thousands of Model 3s into the hands of U.S. and Canadian buyers, they said, in a sign the company expected the pace of deliveries to significantly slow in the near term.
The cuts, which have not been previously reported, could fuel investor worries that demand for the Model 3 in the United States has tailed off after a large tax break for consumers expired last year and the car remains too expensive for most consumers.
Tesla has said its focus this quarter is on supplying cars to customers waiting in China and Europe.
“There are not enough deliveries,” one of the former employees told Reuters. “You don’t need a team because there are not that many cars coming through.”
Delivery of the Model 3 was the company’s key priority in the latter half of 2018, as Tesla tried to supply all buyers wanting the full benefit of the $7,500 U.S. tax credit before it was cut in half at year’s end.
The Model 3 is crucial to Tesla’s plans for long-term profitability. The company aims to post a profit in each quarter this year, based on the expectation that it will sell more Model 3s and continue to cut costs.
Even before the paring back of the delivery team, investors questioned the level of demand for the Model 3 remaining after Tesla’s all-out push to supply buyers ahead of the tax credit cut.
“Given the need for revenue to cover costs and generate cash, the financial community should be focused on the level of demand for Tesla vehicles – in particular the Model 3,” wrote Barclays analyst Brian Johnson in January.
The two former delivery workers said the 2018 sales push has left Tesla’s reservations list plucked clean of North American buyers willing to pay current prices of over $40,000 to get their hands on a Model 3.
Chief Executive Elon Musk initially said in 2016 the car would start at $35,000 - which sparked a rush of reservations - but Tesla has yet to actually sell any cars at that price, despite two price cuts already this year.
“We sold through just about every car we had on the ground and we called almost every being on the planet who had ever expressed desire to own a Tesla to let them know the tax credit was expiring,” said the other ex-employee.
Tesla workers around the company were reassigned to pitch in, that source said.
“They said, ‘Your job is off the table now, we have to get these cars delivered. Because if we don’t get these cars delivered, you don’t have a job tomorrow,’” the former employee said.
The Model 3s now rolling out of Tesla’s Fremont, California, factory are going to Chinese and European buyers, Tesla says.
The two laid-off employees said delivery targets for North America - made up of mostly U.S. buyers - this quarter would be 55 percent to 60 percent of what they were in the last quarter of 2018.
If Tesla does not cut prices soon, it risks losing potential customers - and ones already on its reservation list - to a slew of German and Asian competitors whose electric vehicles will hit the U.S. market this year. Each of the new entrant’s first 200,000 buyers will be eligible for a full federal subsidy.
Having met that number already, the U.S. tax credit for Tesla buyers drops in half to $3,750 for the first six months of 2019, then falls by half again in the second six months.

To save everyone from reading miles of drivel, just write the letter A whenever you post the same tired argument that competition is coming to wipe out Tesla. Here’s an example from 2013
And write the letter B when you complain the stock price is too high. That would sum up the majority of your posts - none of which really matter according to the company’s mission statement and absolutely don’t matter to any of us owners. Why you care so much could only be explained by an innate desire to tear others down.
