Chikaman : the guy has had all his net worth locked into 1 company for 20 years. don't need to take this as a bad omen just cos a guy is realising some profits from his life's work

Chikaman vergeeen : what software do you think trump will use to cut these expenditures? I can think of only 1 that has the ability to analyse and combine data from all the different sectors. its also the same company that has level 1-6 government clearance

Chikaman : so many misinformed and uneducated people. do a little research and you will find that removing ev subsidy is good for tesla

Chikaman JC1616 OP : Elon asked Trump to do this. Do you really think he hasn't already thought of the implications to such a request. Tesla was profitable before the subsidy and they will continue to be profitable. In the last 4 years Tesla manufacturing costs have gone down 40% and will continue to get cheaper as they achieve fully vertical factories. Elon has effectively kneecapped all competition by removing the ev subsidy. But this isnt an isolated move, additionally all subsidies may be removed including oil and gas. Long term this is very bullish

Chikaman JC1616 OP : agreed evs will make up for only a small percentage or revenue. in regards to your 2 points, tesla will eventually become default choice and monopolise market due to sustainability issues. currently other ev makers apart from byd are in negative margins for evs and with subsidy cuts on top they will have to drop out of the race unless they prepared to run at a loss. Volkswagen have already given up and now back Rivian who will probably go broke from subsidy cut

Chikaman : ... removing subsidy is good for tesla effectively kneecapping all competitors. tesla has reduced manufacturing costs by 40% in last 4 years and continue to do so, so they will be fine

Chikaman : elon has even said that he wants the subsidy taken away

Chikaman 103966719 : stupid thing to say. completely different business models and a massive difference which is software versus hardware...

Chikaman : voice of reason? more like trash. after the recent projections and projects that will come into fruition in the not so distant future what's the logic behind the price target? get off the drugs

Chikaman : it really depends what your time frame is. keep in mind tesla ath was +400 so it's still at a discounted price and fsd and optimis projects are in its infancy. not to mention massive margins in the energy projects

Chikaman : if the companies fundamentals are better now than they were when the stock was +$400 isn't it a no brainer?
