I think I figured out why Tesla’s leasing share dropped to an all-time low in Q1 2024 and why we should be very bullish about Q2 2024 deliveries.

Troy blocked me. I am not sure why but perhaps it’s because I beat him in both Tesla’s Q4 deliveries and Q4 EPS forecast (mine forecasts were more accurate) . I also beat him in Q3.

I just had an unexpected cerebral moment. I took a short stroll outside, somewhere in a place in Europe, somewhere a bit in the middle of nowhere. It was early morning, most people still sleeping. I could only hear a bit of bird chirping and a bit of growingly noise in the…

Seems those who have been given access to the #Xiaomi SU7 already are not the kind of people you should trust with your brand new motor. Yet another example of one being binned before deliveries even began has surfaced.

All EV startup IPOs - except Tesla's - were complete disasters for long term investors and we are about to repeat the same in the emerging robotics space. Some investors are about to step into the robotics trap as they did into the EV trap: ALL EV startups (except Tesla) have…

I got a lot of heat for calling out @TroyTeslike . I pointed out something which I believe is misleading. Below is a repetition of the same pattern: Troy takes his updated estimate 435,000 and compares it with 475,000 and states the date. For both, he states Feb 28 which is…

Pure play Chinese EV maker Xpeng's deliveries were down 63.7% in Q1 vs Q4 and 47.3% the prior year (Q4 to Q1 22). I can keep posting those all day long 🤣. I quite like Tesla's Q1 delivery numbers looking at these other guys.
