So they are up year over year even with the tax credit gone

Against Q1 last year when they had a production changeover and were being boycotted around the world. A 7% gain on that is far from impressive, especially since they’re offering much more incentives.

No surprise he’s trying to speed run the robots. Tesla cars aren’t very desirable right now, given Musk being Musk. I will never use one of their robotaxis, the safety record is horrible.

Given the uncertainty with the oil and gas prices moving forward, I think Tesla will see some interesting gains with this next quarter.

But they won’t. Europeans don’t want to support the guy doing Nazi salutes and Canada is allowing Chinese EVs into the country

The future is robot managed data centers running AGI from solar roofs on Mars.

Even if they managed to launch the cybercab tomorrow, they’re entering an incredibly competitive market now. Waymo, Nvidia, Motional, Zoox, etc. are all scaling rapidly.

They are not scaling rapidly, I don’t doubt there will be competition but Tesla is far ahead all but Waymo which it will surpass first 1/2 this year

@Tesla4000 I’m sure by “end of the year” magical things will happen (as Musk has claimed since 2016). For now, in the real world, Zoox has a larger robotaxi presence than Tesla and the others are scaling faster than Tesla (pretty easy considering Tesla hasn’t accomplished a single thing with its robotaxi program since it launched a year ago)

@Tesla4000 Waymo is far, far ahead of Tesla. Tesla only runs a couple driverless vehicles per day. They run taxis in the SF bay area instead of testing robotaxis because they don’t think they’re cars will pass California’s AV testing. Waymo has been operating for years, takes a huge number of paid rides, and is expanding to more and more cities.
