We all agree they're a bubble, right?

It's not a bubble, it's just over valued since retard redditers who have delusional ideas about green energy are throwing money at Elon. No investor in their right mind would put money into that shit show of a company.

He's the only hope we've got right now :(

Hard to say. I think they're overvalued but they have potential to literally take over the electric cars & semis markets.

The premiums they could charge would be insane too. Servicing/upgrading a Tesla could turn into monopoly for them. Even if they break even on their cars, they could license charging stations and sell a fuckton of expensive batteries/upgrades.

Haha goy, your Teslas getting to the 5 year mark, buy our newest version $6000-10K battery and it'll extend its range and run like new!

You want the new dashboard? $5000 and well install it for you.

Elon musk is arguably the biggest fucking welfare queen that's ever lived. I mean I'd kill for the amount of money he's got but still... I wouldn't invest in him.

How, when they fucking give away all their R&D in the name of "progress"

Elon Musk is fucking his investors in order to help "humanity"

Everything we hear about the Model 3 makes it sound like a trainwreck. If the Model 3 flops (which I think it will) then they're completely fucked

I love him and hate him.

Love him because he is the symbolism of the hypocrisy of the American Dream.

Hate him because he barely pays his workers, and the fact that redditards and r/futurology circlejeck him like he's Jesus Christ reincarnated into a South African.

kek I just checked r/futurology out and here's the first 3 posts, Elon is another reddit meme just like Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye

If the new model is anything other than a stellar success,

then this baby going down.

same deal as IBM, Apple and Facebook:
CIA fronts to distribute the new population control tech
Honestly probably a decent long term investment, considering they probably have some cool battery tech to release yet.

That's the essence of Tesla's market cap: the price shows that investors believe it's not just potential, but a sure thing.

But as we have seen with Brexit, investors don't know shit about the wider world.

Distribution network, Brand, and manufacturing prowess. The technology is irrelevant, the important part is being able to build the cars and having access to customers.

Incidentally, this is why I think Tesla won't make it or will need to drastically pivot on their core operations: because with Google and Apple getting into autonomous driving and batteries available from multiple suppliers I think they have no edge over the traditional car manufactures: chassis manufacturing in EV is the same with ICE powertrains, and the Toyotas, and Fords, and GMs of the industry can outproduce Tesla massively.

As Sergio Marchionne said: "Apple and Google can buy out GM with their petty cash" that's why he's not afraid of Tesla.

Didn't mean to write "outproduce" I meant they have volume and scale Tesla can't match

>>2008366
You're a bubble.

>new tech
>"genius" visionary
>surging past contemporaries

a tale as old as the stock exchange

Unlike most others, Elon is selling a vision, not a product. Most people find that vision so appealing that they will jump on his train even if the product is subpar, as long as there's forward momentum.

Elon is the Star Citizen of business world.

It might not be a profitable investment but it a good investment on the inside

Might not be a profitable investment but it's good investment

Automation of transportation is going to fuck the American worker even more.

Truck driving is the last bastion of hope for a high school graduate without a college degree in this country. If semi-trucks become automated, those people are doomed.
