It's early on yet, with outside influencing factors in play that are hard to measure, let's see how this ages a year out from today.
Still outselling all other EV pickups on the market, so while it's not generating numbers talked about early on - it's still beating the competition at least to date. I suspect the primary blocker is the high price - which is the same primary blocker for all other EV pickups at this time, apart from range limitations when towing/hauling, which there's currently no good solution for.
I like the look of all Black paint option Better than the stainless steel one.
That's why PPF wraps exist. Do whatever you want - and if you live in CA or TX - you can order the PPF wraps directly from Tesla for any of their vehicles, though with limited choices compared to the aftermarket.
Unknown at this time - though Tesla reported on the Q4 2024 earnings call that per unit profitability had been achieved.
That's never been said - what has been said is that the TAM for robots is likely the single largest market opportunity in existence compared to almost anything else. Units in the hundreds of millions easily - and therefore the potential revenue and profit for Tesla is scale high compared to anything else it has done to date.
It's not an unknown - the model has been proven with the Ubers/Lyfts of the world - except with driverless vehicles we eliminate the requirement for human labor costs - and the utility of the vehicle increases by a factor of 5-10x. The average vehicle is used 5% of the time - for driverless taxis - with no need for human drivers - the vehicle can be in service for 18-20 hours per day - every day - for years.
Only time will tell - but I've learned not to bet against EM over time. Many companies have gone out of business shorting Tesla.
Between now and 2030 IMHO - don't forget we have other new models coming to market as well which isn't getting much of any attention right now - but could be huge for Tesla heading into 2026 especially if price points drop 20% or more.
Taking any position with such a volatile stock is not for the feint of heart - I'm a 2030 guy - so whatever is transpiring right now means very little to me given the roadmaps ahead and Tesla's superior ability to execute on multiple levels (which has been proven over time).
Time will tell
Great skit.
I guess Musk just became smart recently, based on perceptions.
The "professionals" have been proven wrong time and time again - that's the only reliable pattern we have witnessed - at least big picture. Specific to the CT - I agree only time will tell.
I'm not referring to the consumer choice issue, I'm referring to the post I replied to regarding resorting to vandalizing either personally owned automobiles at sales or service centers or Tesla owned inventory at sales centers (as there are no Tesla owned vehicles at service centers in point of fact - they are 100% customer owned vehicles). EM owns 12.6% of Tesla stock - very much a minority stockholder in other words. The logic makes no sense to me again. The cancel culture efforts will fail - and as @rickandcindy23 said - the only people paying for all of the publicity stunts are all of us in the form of higher insurance rates (because the vehicles at the sales centers that may be owned by Tesla - are also insured).
