Tesla bankruptcy?

Good news for Tesla: v.10.0 was released and finally includes ADVANCED SUMMON. Plenty of great videos on YouTube but this mashup is my personal favorite:

Our new friends at Reddit even have a thread asking people to NOT post AS videos:

End of the Quarter on Monday. I already have a placeholder on my calendar for the “earnings” call.

They should’ve dubbed the video to the Benny Hill theme, yakkety sax.

Although I suspect not too many youngsters know who Benny Hill is at this point.

Come on @bro1999 - At Tesla, they break promises. GM, on the other hand, is completely broken…
Guess which organization is on strike? I am no Tesla fan boy but …

They can just “Google it, bro”.

Right, just like they can google RV/MF, how to find the owner’s manual, how to start the car, what leases the best, etc…

They should Google Benny Hill, although he’s not very PC, hence funny

Human avoidance gets released in version 10.1 :slight_smile:

Ouch!

Smart Summon being released for use in “beta” version (and, really, in any version) is utterly terrifying and completely irresponsible.

Good news everybody! Musk has a great idea on the way to bring the Tesla back to profitability. Is it better programming in Smart Summon so it doesn’t run into walls? Improvements to the assembly line so they no longer have to put together cars in a tent? Acceleration of the Model Y rollout?

… Nope. It’s customizing the sounds that the cars make a low speed. Like farts and goat bleats.

So with over 1k post on this battle on the future of Tesla has anyone actually put the money on the table like buying/shorting stocks or via options? Just curious or everyone is still theoretical?

Looking for 250 monthly budget commuter LH cars and shorting Tesla are two mutually exclusive financial endeavors. Or are they?

Nope, they are not mutually exclusive:) I’m not looking to short it :slight_smile:
I’m curious if everyone so involved and know the future or it did anyone place the money where they thought are.

I owned a Model S and I bought Tesla stock back in 2013 and made a decent profit when I sold in 2017. I no longer have skin in the Tesla game, but it’s fun to speculate.

Talked to the Tesla owner advisor that I have been in contact for about 6 months now. They currently have almost no local inventory for my region and apparently people are waiting for at least couple of months to get their custom orders built and delivered. If I were to put a deposit today, it puts me to third week of December for a build slot and still running the risk of taking delivery before the end of year and losing out on federal tax credit. So it doesn’t look like they have a demand problem…

I am on the record that I hold no positions in Tesla, short or long. I have owned auto stock in the past, not currently.

What exactly are you trying to build? A Green Model X? I did an inventory scan last week and there was a lot of the common stuff almost everywhere.

It is the exact opposite, I am considering a very popular configuration (LR AWD white exterior/black interior with 18 inch wheels). Since it is the cheapest build possible they don’t have any in stock (all cars built going to people who ordered them). In CO as of today there are only two LR AWD cars in stock and they are not in my desired config and Tesla no longer ships cars between regions so if my config is available in CA, I simply have to fly there to take delivery and drive back home.
