However, it's Tesla's long-term prospects that count most. "Musk wants the company to be primarily viewed through the lens of AI and robotics rather than solely as an automotive company," Blank said.

Among the CEOs of automakers, "only Musk is perceived as an avatar of the future," Sosnick said.

Hence, investors' "faith is based less on corporate fundamentals than futurism—robotaxis, etc.—which is why the stock’s valuation is way above that of a conventional auto company," Sosnick said. "Thus, if you’ve already decided that the stock is all about the future, you can overlook some pesky details about the present."

Bet what? That vandalism memes will make people buy more Teslas?

He's tarnished the brand in every major market he's in and BYD is ooised to swoop in everywhere except the U.S.

Optimus is the next tunnel to nowhere. But let's stay ok point. He's gotta sell some cars. Fast.

Tesla cars will always be the leaders in tech. And younger people love tech. Tesla has a higher market cap than other automakers. It’s more diversified. It can handle the dip in auto sales better than most. Another swing and miss by you Mr Gristle.

Global focus, Bam. BYD is eating his lunch and putting our EV's that hit the standards and the right price even with the lidar and radar he deems too costly.

You're not thinking this through.

I have yet to see a BYD EV driving around. I don’t think you’re thinking anything thru. You’re constantly on the wrong side of history Mr Gristle. But by all means, carry on.

Of course you don't see them in the U.S.

What you ARE seeing in the U.S. is used Tesla inventory growing as more people return them. Or the vandalism.

Small seas of new Teslas sitting on the lot.

Looking globally again, the rebate loophole in Canada being closed. Germany turning away from Tesla. BYD hitting records in the UK and the promise of that new charger.

Rough sledding ahead

As did Honda and Toyota. But I guess EVs are here to stay for awhile. The technology will get better and maybe production costs will go down.,Tesla is well positioned for the future. BTW, there’s lots of inventory sitting on lots. With gas vehicles. Your Tesla hyperbole is just that.

Nobody ever claimed terrorism wasn’t effective. You guys should dress up like Xerxes and start lopping off the heads of Tesla drivers on the parkway at rush hour. That’ll really tank the stock, torching dealerships and damaging cars is so 90s.
