January 25, 20241 yr Tesla shares plunge to wipe out $73 billion in market value, after dour earnings call https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/investing/tesla-stock-drop-china-sales/index.html Quote While it reported a sizeable 38% increase in deliveries last year compared with 2022, Tesla had previously targeted a 50% annual growth rate averaged over several years. Tesla’s (TSLA) financial results for the last quarter also disappointed, with adjusted earnings per share down 40% from a year earlier, and revenue, which rose 3% to top $25 billion, coming in below market forecasts. It was the second straight quarter the company fell short of earnings forecast by analysts, following a string of better-than-expected results stretching back to the start of 2021. Bummer
January 30, 20241 yr Cuban got all pissy over Musk's comments about diversity hires and eventually admitted to violating civil rights laws.

I don’t understand why every software update and/or recall put out for Teslas is such a big deal… my 2016 Chevy Silverado has had multiple recalls on it including brake booster losing power over time which they fixed by reprogramming the computer to increase brake assist and issued an extended warranty to cover the part in question. All cars have recalls and issues and it is generally accepted that new models or even model years will have more issues. Is it really surprising that an electric car is requiring periodic software updates?

It is certainly news when a company recalls EVERY car they made. That you seem to matter of fact about it being normal, seems really weird to me.
February 5, 20241 yr Apparently, if you want to tow any sort of cargo, you can expect your range to drop to around 100 miles. That does not sound like much to me.

One note, they use the term recall with Tesla but it's really an over the air software update so not quite as ominous as it sounds. Still terrible quality on their part and there's a report out there of a Tesla phantom braking this weekend leading to the death of a person which is scary and sad

That you seem to matter of fact about it being normal, seems really weird to me. I’ve had recalls on every relatively new car I’ve ever owned - Chevy, Mazda, Honda, and Subaru. This is a brand new type of car not just a new model. And I’m assuming a lot of these issues are related to pieces of code that apply to every model which is why they apply to every car. My truck’s brake recall, for example, applied to all of their Silverados as well as some other models (SUVs I think) made over a multiple year span that used the same part. 40 minutes ago, Toastrel said: Apparently, if you want to tow any sort of cargo, you can expect your range to drop to around 100 miles. That does not sound like much to me. Again, I thought it was common knowledge and understood that range would be drastically reduced while towing. It is the same for gas powered vehicles as well - I’ve see the instantaneous mileage readout on my truck’s dash drop to 0 while towing my camper through the mountains. In general, I get around 20 mpg normal driving and around 12-15 while towing on highway trips.
February 5, 20241 yr My Honda Pilot got recalled as part of the air bag issue. It got a lot of attention in the media yet I never felt the need to leap to Honda’s defense.

February 5, 20241 yr When you get the first release of a new car, there are generally recalls. It's pretty common. Comparing it to vehicles that have been in production for years/decades is unfair. Musk is a clown, but this is pretty standard stuff.
