    Thanks lads. Local tyre garage repaired it. Good thing too cause there was a big nasty bolt stuck in it.

    You'd be surprised, when apple were announcing the iPhone back in 2007 everybody was asking who would pay €600 for a fecking phone and who needs emails and a touch screen with a limited array of games.

    Now I will say that Apple usually release their new devices within weeks and sometimes even days of the public announcements and that is a major difference between them and Tesla.

    I think the distinction needs to be made that Tesla aren't just cars, they also have powerwall/megapack, solar roof, and the supercharger network, all of which run on their own in-house developed backend software. They are also consistently trying new things so they are correct to be calling themselves a tech company I think because of that

    @sk8board "an incredibly expensive robot that will be in your home to do ‘stuff’ is not in the near future - there’s not nearly enough customers for it"

    People have no idea what is going to hit them in the next few years. Could be 3 years, could be 15 years, could be Tesla, could be some other companies. But these robots will be everywhere

    Tesla board is looking to approve a $1 Trillion payout for Musk over the next decade. Subject to meeting milestones.

    Musk has also said Optimus will eventually be 80% of the company's value.

    Looks very likely we're getting Optimus robots, very soon.

    I can't wait to own one. I just have two requirements: It must be able to cut hedges. If it can't it needs to hold the ladder and tidy up. 2nd, it must be able to play the xbox.

    Soon as in within 10 years.

    And I don't seriously believe it will be cutting my hedges or getting past tricky boss battles on the Xbox for me. Initially.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,771 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    Watching that was a complete waste of time. Tesla has been overpromising "full self driving", people took that promise literally and let the car drive (despite promising that they wouldn't and that they understood they needed at all times be in charge). Expert says you can't have self driving without lidar (Tesla only does vision to save money), throw in some fatal accidents and phantom breaking from 2018/2019 (many many years before the first version of beta full self driving was launched). Tesla sued for false advertising

    Did I miss anything?

    In other news, fairly strong push today, was $356 earlier

    Please someone, throw some proper FUD into the world (not that regurgitated rubbish like the above video) so it will go down below $300 again and I can buy some 😂

    Did you miss the fact that its a video on the Internet? I mean how are you not scared? /s

    Thanks for the summary, saves me giving them clicks and advertising money.

    Hope you do actually diversify your investments because the cult like nature of the advice isn't really something anyone should take seriously.

    I mean this earnestly. Split up your investments.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,771 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    I've posted it many times before. My investment is mostly in my pension fund that I can't touch. With a bit of money that makes no fundamental difference to my life if I lost it all, I play myself. Currently it is just sitting waiting in cash. Look back a few pages in this thread in what I have done with it in relation to TSLA in the last while. My posts about buying any shares are never advice of any sort, it is just posting what I have done and what my plans are

    The fact that I do not hold any TSLA is proof enough I don't follow any kinda cult. Otherwise I would just Hodl like a cryptobro - and successful they are 😂 I have explained several times before on this thread what my strategy is, basically a low risk strategy of making many short term gains. Sit back and hold on while I sit on a loss. Sit back and wait if I don't hold any and the price is too high for me. The only real risk is if the stock would rocket while I am out (unless you think there is a chance that TSLA will go bust)

    TSLA holders will pump the SP literally on anything at this point, it’s fantastic 😂.

    ”Achieving the maximum payout of 423 million shares, Musk will have to boost Tesla’s market capitalisation to $8.5 trillion from $1.09 trillion today. That is more than twice that of Nvidia, currently the most valuable company in the world at $4.2 trillion.

    Tesla must also sell 12 million more electric vehicles; reach 10 million autonomous driving subscriptions; register and operate 1 million cars in its Robotaxi network; sell 1 million AI robots and increase adjusted earnings 24-fold to $400 billion.”

    let that sink in 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄



  • Posts: 0 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yes let that sink in. The stock is extremely cheap.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,647 ✭✭✭sk8board


    1m AI robot sales is either a really soft target, or it tells you all you need to know about how much Optimus will cost and who the target market will be.

    And just to chalk it off - Musk was lying about Optimus being 80% of Tesla’s future value. But we knew that already.



  • Posts: 0 ✭✭ [Deleted User]


    How have you come to the.conclusion he was lying? Because the Irish Times says he needs to sell 1m robots? I think you've taken the example literally. Nobody knows what the breakdown in sales will be. he could sell 100 million Optimus robots and no Teslas. I think you're just seeing what you want to see.

    An 8.5 Trillion company in 10 years time is by no means far fetched. I can see nVidia doing it. Can I see Tesla doing it? Honestly, they have a bit to prove first.

    But you're missing an important point in this deal. It has the potential to pay out 1 trillion. It's based on certain conditions. Some very tough targets, nobody is disagreeing with that. Its only potentially up to 1 Trillion.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,771 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    Anyone that can 10X grow what is already one of the biggest companies in the world within 10 years deserves a small percentage of that growth, does anybody really disagree with that? Isn't that how our capitalist society has always worked?

    For sure nobody has ever accomplished anything like that. If they had, they would have been well awarded too…

    I agree here. If he pulls that off he deserves one trillion and probably a sainthood from the pope as well as miracles will have been worked. Surely his immediate issue will be a cashflow problem given the sales reports.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,771 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    @sk8board - "What happens if the car business goes cash flow negative in Q4 as expected?"

    You and others have posted about Tesla sales going into freefall many times over the years. I have no doubt Musk has other (higher) priorities than car sales now, but I am not so sure the car sales are dead just yet. I.e. the Model Y-L (6 seater) seems to be a huge success with 10k orders per day in China alone. And that must be a very profitable car.

    New Model Y based hatchback spotted out in the wild

    https://x.com/TeslaNewswire/status/1964292382435750011



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,647 ✭✭✭sk8board


    I didn’t say the sales numbers would fall - I’m saying analysts (who’s job it is to do the work) suggest the car business could be cash flow negative by Dec 31.

    Saying it’s just a drop in sales is not exactly the same thing.

    Tesla funds the projects with the profits from the cars.

    Margins are dropping

    Sales are dropping

    Grants are ending

    Carbon credit sales are ending.


    these are all statements of fact and impede Tesla’s ability to pump money into the projects.

    The reason why it’s not expected to tighten in Q3 is that the US market is expected to see a sales volume bump in advance of the US grants ending. Q4 is the one to watch, and sales are just one element.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,647 ✭✭✭sk8board


    It says it’s the more affordable model Y, not a new Y-based hatchback.
    Tesla aren’t building any new models, they’re just making the Y cheaper, which is good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,904 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    And you continue to claim this isn't cult like behaviour.

    Despite the ample evidence none of musks claims have come to pass.

    This trillion dollar shite is designed to promote share purchasing and pretend that he can deliver. It's more of the same bollixology , Tesla sales are down 40 percent in EU and even in Ireland now. Something that is conveniently side stepped now, looking for any win. At this point.

    All this despite EV purchases growing across the board.

    The announcement is guf more guf on top of old guf.

    Its more disappointing 'smart' people fall for it every time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,203 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    Make the Model 3 a hatch and I’d be making a purchase.

    The rumoured cheaper Y sounds great, no glass roof, no light bar and stalks included, all sounds fine to me.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 42,157 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    Tesla down 9.89% year on year in Ireland. Jan to Aug figures. We are below average compared to the EU.

    There seems to be equal cults for and against Tesla so it seems.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,771 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    Of course is not cult like behaviour. My post you quoted was generic on purpose. Anyone leading any company that can achieve a gain, deserves a small part of that gain. That was the point I was making. That is capitalism. If you don't agree, maybe start a commune somewhere? 😂

    Or maybe you want me to comment on those (clearly defined) goals? Do I think or believe he might reach all of them? No is my answer.

    You're not being legit frankly.

    No company on earth would be talking about a trillion as CEO salary. Its unserious youre being unserious in treating it seriously.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭JOL1


    Clearly one company is…and as far as I am aware it is still HQ'd on earth

    For now until the move to mars to be fair ! Not sure why anyone is getting worked up over this either he delivers massive growth and gets paid or he doesn't , if he does he will be worth it that's for sure .
