Tesla might be one of the biggest crash and burn stories ever

Date: November 17th, 2017 11:17 AM Author: vibrant chrome cuck boistinker Their free cash flow was negative $1.1 billion in the last quarter and they forecast an additional $2 billion in capital spending before the year is out. They have produced less than 300 Model 3's and will have negative gross margins on them for years probably because overhead costs will dwarf deliveries before production ramps up. They are producing cool stuff and I want them to maeke it, but holy shit they are burning through cash. Asking for deposits for vehicles that won't be built for years is a pretty desperate cash grab. Musk should just sell the business to Google or Apple and concentrate on SpaceX. Maybe they want to buy and are just waiting for the cash problems to worsen and Musk to get desperate.

Really cool demo and a good idea, but no capability to deliver anytime soon. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3800570&forum_id=2#34709343) |

Date: November 17th, 2017 11:28 AM Author: vibrant chrome cuck boistinker Yeah, I do understand this. Tons of people have tried to short Tesla and lost big. Musk is running a huge gamble that will either turn into an Amazon/Apple style success story or really flame out in grand fashion.

Date: November 17th, 2017 11:34 AM Author: Sooty internal respiration sure, but in his mind it's not a huge gamble. as for the bulls, they definitely see the Amazon/Apple success stories as the rationale behind their bullishness. they are betting on the CEO and his genius which is not limited to technical know-how but also includes marketing smarts.

Tesla will either be a trillion dollar company that produces the Apple of cars and dominates renewable energy or will be bought for like a dollar by Apple/Google/Facebook/Amazon or an industry competitor.
