Something Weird is Happening At Tesla...

Tesla looks like it's going big. I really want to profit from the market this year. I have about $40k I want to invest in the market. My brain doesn't do very well in understanding these things. How else could I utilise the market opportunity?

I was part of the recent layoffs at Tesla and this bites hard. Grateful that I kept some savings north of 300k tho! Now I am looking for ways to allocate this into my portfolio to generate good dividends to supplement for my monthly expenses.

When giga Texas came on line I made the choice to move from California and career change. Ten k later I moved to Manor Texas got a job at Tesla worked hard and on time for two months three weeks. When I got an email from them. Not even a call letting me know I was no longer needed. Me and about twenty people. For no reason what's so ever . None Tesla would give. I personally don't think it was Elon or upper management. But I absolutely lost all respect for Tesla and the mindset there. I wish them the best but don't go working for them. Their loyalty is the dollar and you are just a tool to that company.

They may have eliminated 10% of the workforce, but I'd bet they also eliminated about 30% of the loyalty in the remaining workforce. The cold shoulder works in both directions, and there will be far fewer employees willing to extend themselves beyond the bare minimum required for the job.

The one thing that's never changed in my forty years of working with chemical storage batteries is that they do not like "supercharging".

Spend 42 billion dollars on a non profitable social media website 👌

Musk: Employees are expensive and must go. Also Musk: I need a 56 billion dollar incentive to keep "working" here.

thousands of chargers are not enough.. There need to be millions of chargers.. there are not just thousands of gasoline stations around the world, there are millions of them, and the charging stations will have to display what they are selling electricity for by the KW just like gasoline stations display the price they are selling gasoline for by the gallon to compete for your business.. and they are missing the boat completely if they do not build coffee, shops, and places to hang out while waiting for your car to be charged, which can take hours. They also Must have bathroom facilities for these people that are gonna be waiting for hours for their cars to charge.. how many customers does each gas pump in a gas station service per day? Per hour? i’m guessing that a gas pump can service 10 to 12 customers per hour .. an electric charging station can probably only service 10 to 16 customers per charger per day depending on variables, like cold .. don’t forget, there will probably be cars waiting for chargers to become available. Those people will also be needing a place to wait for hours at times… so if there is a charging station with 20 chargers operational. and let’s say there are two cars waiting at each charger for the charger to become available, that’s 60 people that are going to need to use the bathroom, need to get in out of the weather, need to have something to drink or eat, and probably fall asleep at times besides in their car.. it was very cold out, or if it’s very hot, they can’t be sitting in their car, running the heater or the air conditioner while charging. They need to get in out of the weather while they are waiting. There’s a lot of figuring to do

The problem with electric semi-trucks is that, to protect the roads, these trucks have a maximum weight limit. Diesel and biofuel fuel has much more energy per pound than batteries. If you use batteries to power these trucks, they will work but will only be able to carry a fraction of the cargo weight they do now. Truckers are paid to haul cargo, not to haul the energy they need to run. For this reason, using diesel or biofuel seems like a much more economic solution for powering big semi-trucks.

Tesla is laying off workers in the droves. We have a problem Houston 😅

I think you are missing the point about firing the supercharging team. It was the people that had the relationships with people at the other car companies and third parties that made zero sense to let go. Those companies have lost all confidence in Tesla. I get it if Elon is not happy with the engineering side. Maybe he’s not happy with 4680 charging. Maybe he’s not happy with the slow rollout of V4. Or it could be the problems with getting all EV models to charge optimally. But I don’t get the loss of interpersonal skills needed between people at Tesla and the other companies.

@8.51 looks very much remote controlled to me. I'm still skeptical about the Teslbot being ready anytime soon, even in Elon years.

Their not selling enough cars, simple.

I did not even know the local NYC "Green Ride' thing until this video! It's not the direct subject, by NYC rot toward '3rd world living' by green initiatives are well under way. Gas stoves bans in new bldgs. ,gas HVAC bans, aims to ban or restrict or tax out of existence private gasoline vehicles, bans or closing or non-green electricity production, environmental groups blocking power lines from Canada-Quebec Hydro to NYC to make up for lower power generation here. We already have brown out protections days each summer when some of high rise elevators are taken out of service, and apt. bldg, laundry room are closed. This is our city Govt which is most concerned with __ issues but not ____ so much, They have time to pass local law for coming ban on individually (plastic of course) wrapped cheese slices. How can this stand?

Walmart will experience the same thing duane reade did. Duane reade had a whole fleet of all electric trucks and proudly displayed on the sides. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone and duane reade went back to good old reliable diesel. No word on what happened. My guess is they were getting road calls from drivers all over the country with a dead truck so after hundreds of thousands of dollars in tow fees they had enough.

Must cut to the bone to ensure that there is $47 billion dollar bonus for musk

As usual, we will need to get through a truck battery replacement period before we know the real story.

We are living in different times... even the bots are looking lazy and moving really slow. I'll give it 6 months to a year... and the bots will start calling in sick or just not showing up at all. Lazy bastards!

Don’t give up guys. Supply and demand. Congratulations you met the demand.

Cutting the further deployment of charging stations seems insane to me. I mean we dont have any in my area. I think the nearest charger is over 40 miles away from where I live. Thats insane that the chances are there will be no further charges being installed to cater for the 300,000 people that live in my area.
