Rodent + 1,424 February 7, 2018 Tesla's reporting tomorrow. Who's betting the results will be disappointing? Who's betting the market will still view the results like this: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 February 8, 2018 what to make of these headlines: "Tesla Q4: Financials Really Worsen" "Tesla posts narrower-than-expected loss, says it's on track to meet Model 3 production goals" "Tesla Q4 2017 report looks sunny, bodes well for 2018" "Tesla's Earnings Report Was Remarkably Drama-Free, by Its Standards" "Tesla reports record loss in fourth quarter; Model 3 production still lagging" "A First Look At Tesla's Dreadful Q4 Results" "Tesla Shows Significant Cash Flow Improvement" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 February 8, 2018 And the coincidence is not lost on me, the timing of SpaceX and the flamethrower stunt, all shortly before Q4 release. Well played, Tesla! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Addy + 14 AW February 8, 2018 Tesla stock is down almost 4% right now after results release (of course, after jumping yesterday on all the spacex stuff). The net result is about a wash. So I guess you're right: well played. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missy + 43 MM February 8, 2018 When are people going to wise up? Tesla is nothing but smoke and mirrors. This is not sustainable business practices. A novelty. Someday we'll all look back on Tesla's like we look at the Segway. Cool, but no thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 February 8, 2018 Well, Tesla may be burning through cash and reaping net losses quarter after quarter, but shareholders seem content so far. And the product does have a place in the market. That's why all the big automakers are working on EVs of their own. It needs subsidies and tax credits for now, but I think in the end this has a chance to work. And while the Tesla isn't super cool, it's infinitely cooler than the Segway (not saying much, I know).
