TSLA

^ Also be very careful about JD Powers ratings.

"Because companies pay J.D. Power licensing fees, there are situations in which J.D. Power is making money off the very companies it’s ranking. This possible conflict of interest is something competitor "Consumer Reports" addressed in a May 2020 article. The article called attention to the fact that J.D. Power charges fees for companies to access survey results, mention the firm in ads, and participate in the Certified Customer Service Program."

I don't think Tesla gives 2 about paying JD Powers for a ranking, do you?

I originally had a few TSLA stock before the split and now I have a bit more! Bought before I even had a car. Now that I have a car, the Y, I'm both impressed and unimpressed. Love driving the zippy acceleration car (no added boost, not a performance model either). Love the fast charging. Love over the air updates and love Caraoke (although could be better). I'm actually a lowish tech person. What I don't love is for a $70k car, its very lite on the luxury (like hello where is the suspension? memory seats, included homelink?) and the customer service is a bit lite also. Like hey go get your own car, see the dot on the phone app? Walk on over. I'm used to nicer service. Even get better service when I take in my Prius. When I'm ready for the next car not 100% sure f it will be a Tesla, sigh. Good thing I don't own too much TSLA stock.

You should trade in your Tesla if you are unhappy. Why keep it?

There are many people who see the car as a car and not as being "associated with his brand". It's a decent car all politics aside. Well off families come in all flavors and EVs are not just for families "who care about the environment". Plus it's international in its reach.


Well off conservative families buy trucks and large SUVs. Teslas are primarily sold in very blue areas and there are comparable EVs without the political baggage

Only in America do our cars carry "political baggage". Lots of people buy Teslas because they are fun to drive and they don't really care about politics. In our area, yes, politics are some kind of a big deal. To a lot of people elsewhere, not so much.

We bought our solar panels and power wall from Tesla.

Yes, they are all that. however, you are missing their number one future value generator. They are a leader in AI, and they have a huge moat around that product and it is growing every day. Teslas are not cars, they are edge nodes of one of the most sophisticated neural networks in existence. Like Terminator Skynet level stuff. Even if all the other auto manufacturers banded together (which they won’t) they would never be able to catch up

Now that there are so many electric cars they all have these qualities. They all have zippy torque and download updates. But the build quality of Teslas leave a lot to be desired. Also, none of them have had a design change in the last 7 years. They are long in the tooth and look it.

You are up 12% IF you bought at the low point. That’s okay I guess but hardly a turnaround for the stock yet.

Yet people buy them. I see more on the road every day.

Musk didn't have to make Tesla about him, but he did. His ego must be gigantic. News reports now say, Musk bans Kanye. Or Musk allows Trump back on. They never said anything like when Jack Dorsey was the CEO.

I will never buy a Tesla for a couple reasons. Im in the market for an electric car and there is no way I will buy a tesla. I don't like Musk and other car companies including Ford, BMW, Mercedes and KIA are making really impressive electrics. I don't need to buy a tesla. I would have had Tesla on the list a year or two ago. But now Musk is a pretty serious barrier to entry for me

Put down the musk sales pitch and you'll realize that they actually aren't. Even with cars, other companies have already passed them
