lol. Nice pun. :-)

Tesla has no real problems. Sales slowed a bit. They still crank out a crap ton of cars. They have tech that nobody is even close to being able to match. The full self drive is still new and a lot of skeptics but it is truly amazing now and will be incredible in a few years now that it’s basically “free” to everyone for at least 30 days. Previously you had to add it as a feature but now you can just pay a monthly subscription. So they are generating more data now in a month than they got all last year. That will just make them better overall.

They will be in robotics next year. Every bit of information his cars collect contributes to enhancing his overall AI tech. He will even soon have the computing power of the cars - when they are not in use - connected to the network to do computation. He even plans to pay owners for that use and eventually to let owners of FSD cars turn them into robo taxis when not in use. If you want.

I own no Tesla stock or Tesla cars. But the things they are doing are Jetsons level actualizations.

I have a gently used four year old Tesla to sell you.

I do own Tesla stock but no Tesla car. I would recommend buying some at these low dip prices, because the rebound is happening. The articles authors would have one believe Tesla is in trouble. As if growing $1.13 billion in profits is a "problem"! They make a profit on every EV they make, while GM, Ford and others lose thousands on each EV produced. Last I heard, they're losing $132,000 on each EV. Tesla is able to cut prices because they still have healthy profits on each EV.

They're breaking out the "slump" late this year, with the ramp-up of factories and several new factories getting built soon. And it isn't just about cars, it is Jetsons-level technology that they're working on which haters fail to observe.

I got one of the first personal computers in the early 1990s. Back then, only a small percentage of Americans had a personal computer at home and the Internet (as we know it) was still several years away.

I remember when Windows 3.1 came out and it was on about 22 floppy disks.

One night around about 1992, I was loading Windows 3.1 on my IBM computer. I was on about disk 13 of 22 when one of my friends stood behind me shaking his head in exasperation, saying "these contraptions will never catch on."
