That would not wipe Tesla out. The credits are nice bonus, specially in COVID times, but not having them would not get them near bankruptcy. They would maybe had to raise some more money and not invest as much.
If Congress doesn’t act, unemployment and a ruined economy may come soon
All those reasons apply to buying a 38k Model 3 instead. Tesla is agreeing with grandparent as they are planning to next-gen the S and X. As a customer, what compelling reason is there to spend on the S and X over the 3 and Y? Sales and production are strongly reflecting that.
It's speculation, and irrationality, neither of which is new to the stock market.

People think the stock will go up, because it's a hot company with a lot of press, so they buy it. More people buy it, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: the stock goes up.

Eventually Tesla will either find their groove and be a breakout success, or the stock price will fall. It's just a matter of time, and depends on when people get tired of waiting.

Remember also that VW is, comparatively, a super boring company.

These are all bad reasons for Tesla's stock price, but they are reasons.
>Can you explain how their capex is decreasing as they build out more factories and invest in new technology? Seems odd, doesn't it? Yet is sure makes that cash flow number look good. These are the kinda things that analysts consider red flags.

From 2017 to 2018, they were focused in ramping-up production at the Fremont factory [0]. And compared to Q2 2019 Capex is actually 118% * higher ! * (546m vs 250m), so I can't see how they are slowing investments.

>Do you think this is a reasonable comparison when Toyota builds as many cars in a few days as Tesla does in a quarter? Tesla can futz a few thousand cars with a fleet sale or inventory build and drastically change their growth trajectory.

I do believe they did a tremendous job in ramping-up deliveries (page 18) in such a short period of time). It is 2x the number from just 3 years ago.

>By the way, what's a "delivery"? I don't think I've ever seen them define it. I would assume it means "car delivered to customer", and yet they build inventory. Very opaque.

By delivery Tesla probably needs to recognize revenue according to ASC 606, or when the product is delivered instead of paid. I'm sure theirs auditors must pay close attention to this number.

My point was that it was an evolution of deckbuilding games in the vein of Dominion rather than CCGs in the vein of MTG.

I was a little hyperbolic in saying that virtually all of its ideas come from existing physical games, but the core gameplay itself does not stray far from its inspirations.
Most of the gameplay elements you listed are present in mechanically identical forms in pre-existing games where possible (obviously the game being digital allows for mechanics that physical cards do not). Innate, Retain, Ethereal, upgraded cards (ex Pirate Ship), cost reduction and stances all exist just between Dominion and Thunderstone.

Not to be too pedantic but, Dominion also has an action economy, its just all actions (until later expansions) cost 1 resource. Another deckbuilding game, Mage Knight, also has an advanced resource-to-use-cards system and now that I reflect on it is probably the closest game to StS.

I'm not trying to argue that StS is un-inventive, they did a very good job of bringing rogue-like elements and persistent upgrades into the deckbuilding genre and a VERY, VERY good job at adding an addictive "one more run" feeling to the genre.
JSON was clearly built with XGH axioms in mind: ‘errors only appear when you notice them’.
It takes a while to get a feel for the strategy and a lot of counterintuitive or seemingly impossible things become straightforward. Considering there's a lengthy stretch just unlocking cards, it doesn't sound like you're in some particularly unusual place, 40 hours in.

> "100% winnable" means that you are _guaranteed_ to win if you do the right things, not that you have a _chance_ to win under optimal play.

That's exactly what he was arguing too. Having a chance to win means that if you do exactly the right things, you can win. It doesn't means that you may win if you do exactly the right thing... that's just absurd saying may about something fixed.

You would enjoy a game where it is litteraly impossible to win? Whatever the moves you decide to do? You just lost once you got a card but still have to keep going... even though it's already decided that whatever move you choose to do, you will lose? I know I wouldn't enjoy it. There has to be a way, a specific choice of move, the rights one, that will make me win, otherwise, I'm losing my time.
Newer Tetris games do, by using a “bag” randomizer. The original is notorious for withholding I-pieces for long periods of time, so much so that videos of “classic Tetris” competitive play show a “drought” statistic on the screen after long enough.
Q2 2018: 53,339 vehicules produced
Q2 2020: 82,272 vehicules produced

2 years ago flat?

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Inc.

Tesla production will be around 100k+ per quarter until they open a new factory (Berlin, july 2021) or expand current ones.

If they're still production limited the only growth in production numbers for the next 12 monthes will be in their China factory and may be a bit in Fremont (p7 of PDF).

Tesla announced they hope to be close to 500k produced vehicules in 2020 (p10 of PDF) so that makes 157k/quarter for the next two quarters. I don't think they'll reach 500k in 2020.

But of course the thing you have to look at is results from other automakers (hint: ugly).
look at the pipeline for EVs coming to market in 2021/2022. there are dozens.
Why is size the determining factor, though?

Is it just that you're worried about the outsourcing of content moderation? Because other than than the problems are the same. Someone will always need to moderate the content.
The best alternative to VC money is simply getting early customers to help fund you. Do services contracting for them and you will learn a ton about their needs and the problems your solution solves. You will iterate rapidly and bring your business to actually solve customer problems.

Beyond customer funding, look at SBA loans. Or bank loans.

Avoid credit cards if you don't pay them off monthly. Your business probably won't grow as fast as your debt will if you go this way.

I personally used a combination of using my own savings (dipped into about $10k before my net worth started going up) in combination with customer funding.
TSLA is absolutely the present-day BTC.
Super Simple Storage Service ;)
I don't think they disagree with this, but that Tesla now has the 3/Y that get you all of the benefits of an electric car, with interiors that aren't too far off of the S/X for a fraction of the cost. If they want to continue to sell the S/X for a big premium they now need to offer a differentiated product (whereas pre 3/Y you were paying the premium to get a fully electric car)
What is the fallback if you lose your SSH keys?
For bulls, TSLA isn’t a car company. It’s the climate change company. They are the best bet right now to upend the entire power mix.

I’m not saying I agree with this. Even if achieved, the amount of future success being priced in today is extraordinary. Combine that with a stock that’s become “cool” to own with retail, and the huge short interest...and well it starts to make sense.

TSLA price action at the moment is really down to a lack of sellers. Shorts have been bent over in a way not seen at this scale since (ironically) VW. Simply put: everyone who has said TSLA is overbought has paid dearly. The bubble will burst, but it’s never shorts that pop bubbles.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’m highly concerned that there are artifacts baked in. I’ll readily admit that I’m a systems neuroscientist and am skeptical of DWI in general. I appreciate that they included Supp. Fig 13, with a comparison of DWI findings to cellular-level resolution projectome tracing from Allen Institute. Supp Fig 13 does not inspire confidence.

I went through the research papers on the subject and didn't find any indication that one treatment listed in the table did a whole lot better than another combination. Eradication rates seem to be between 70-95 percent depending on the claim of the paper which seems to be in range of likely errors with each paper.

> But the productivity of web tech for application development is just somewhere on the level of 20 years ago

To be fair, the web was never meant to be an application development platform. It has only become that because of the ubiquity of the web, and the many advantages that web applications confer (multi-platform, instant updates etc.)

Given that, it's not surprising that the web application space continues to evolve as new solutions are tried, iterated and adopted widely, or abandoned.
Wish they would fix their customer service story.
> The better answer is that nobody should buy VW either. Their business has zero potential upside and a huge downside risk in the transition to EVs

VW is an EV manufacturer and is investing heavily in the transition to EVs themselves. And they’re already at a much larger scale than Tesla in terms of distribution and manufacturing the rest of the car.
YMMV, depending on your data. What we do is maintain a default staging environment and a prod environment. They are both continuously deployed off of master, so it's the same code, and we have staging populated with data that is similar to prod (just without real users... So it's just employees using it).

When we spin up a review app, it generates a backup of the staging db, restores it to the review app environment. That way all review apps have essentially a copy of the default staging data. That command (backup and restore for postgres) is like two lines of code.

Great, which is why I think offering a separate SKU to people who want control over their devices would be a wonderful compromise. Your parents can buy the normal locked-down iPhone that's sold in the Apple Store, and I'll buy the special one from the hidden page on Apple's website.
Bletchley Park did not have general-purpose computers as we understand them. They had special-purpose hardware key-testers - the electromechanical bombe, and the electronic Colossus. Their successor today is a Bitcoin miner.

Although it gets less publicity today, Friedman's cryptanalysis operation in the US did much more number-crunching. Friedman turned cryptanalysis from guessing and testing into a statistical problem.[1] He and his organizations made heavy use of modified IBM tabulators during WWII.[2] Those were much more general purpose machines, somewhat programmable.

> easier support

This is what I meant. It’s very clear that Microsoft sees the future as cloud-first, and their traditional installers are still there only for defensive purposes. I bet they’d love to drop them, if they could be 100% sure that this wouldn’t mean losing customers (the ones with old browsers, unwilling to retrain, unwilling to use Sharepoint rather than network folders, etc) and that it wouldn’t weaken their entrenchment (those billions of offline .docx and .xslx are a massive moat that is very hard to abandon for good).
So then give users time to migrate to an alternative and shut it down.
For ML you really need both a class on probability theory, linear algebra, and/or a dedicated ML class. Lots of ML math ends up being the same principals over and over again. They may be borrowed from bigger subject matter, but often times you don't need to be an expert in those to get far. That said, if you're an ML researcher, then you definitely benefit from a very solid math/physics background. But if you're an ML researcher, chances are you did not only undergrad but a PhD as well, and you're not just considering an online certificate.
"Look we're doing something"? Apple has a well-regarded security team that is among the largest in the industry. The locked platform is part of the premise of their security model. You can disagree with that; many smart people do. But you can't pretend that anything other than unlocking the platform constitutes a half-measure.

TSLA in some ways reminds me of Amazon at the beginning. Way overpriced, but kept reinvesting into new things as it went and the stock price kept going up and profits stayed zero forever while the company kept building itself bigger and bigger. So I can see the bull perspective.

However...

Car manufacturing is not the same as slinging books online. Profits are consistently thin and Tesla's only edge is in battery tech and being a status symbol. So it is trying to be the Apple of cars but also grow like Amazon. And their aren't breakeven without credits, so it is kind of like if 2004 Amazon was able to reach breakeven only because Barnes & Noble had to pay Amazon for not having a website.

Also, I am unconvinced that one car brand will be the "Apple of cars" since there is no ecosystem lock-in and at the end of the day it is a fashion/trend symbol - precisely when unemployment is nuts and the economy is in the shitter. It quickly could become more of a overly flashy negative than cool aspirational thing, kind of a rich-is-bad type of reach that Hummer had with gas-is-bad.

Maybe Elon pulls it off, but at this price it is really investing in a future that hasn't been built or even imagined yet.
Maybe because I was a little hyperbolic with "absolutely sucks", but that represents how I feel pretty accurately.

And yet they were building a factory in China then.
Again, they are not required to report that so there is no reason to. I'm sure they have squirreled away lots of these credits in their war chest to break out at opportune times (like today). They're not fabricating the numbers, they are audited and exist. There's nothing illegal about it. They just don't have to disclose them publicly so they don't, because it would needlessly give information to competitors.
> VW's position is its weakness, it has everything to lose and nothing to gain from the peak they've reached.

I think that’s a very reasonable argument to make. However, Tesla is not even close to this peak VW might have reached, and is valued (roughly speaking) at 4x that.

VW might lose its peak, Tesla never had it in the first place.
The effects of racism from 100 years ago isn't necessarily considered racism today, since the socioeconomic component is the key factor hurting these communities today, not race.
Actually, this system is counterproductive, I think. Starting production of EVs costs you money, but it also takes time, and the penalties for not meeting quotas are something you have to pay right now. So, in the end, the money you spend buying "EV credits" is the money taken away from your R&D budget on EVs.

You might argue that the company receiving money for "EV credits" would invest them in increasing the production, but that's often not the case - since they have already met their quotas and are off the hook, they are free to simply hand this money out to shareholders in form of a dividend.

Gross margin on cars is 25% this quarter, 17% after removing regulatory credits. What "financial data" are you using to come to the conclusion that they don't have good margins?

> Quarterly revenue has not shown any growth for nearly 2 years

Revenue is actually down 4% year over year. I'd say a lot of this is because their Model S/X sales were down 56% from the same quarter last year. Huge reduction in high end vehicle sales was essentially replaced with the sale of regulatory credits (8000 cars at 60,000 each is 480million, regulatory credit sales were up 317 million). Free cash flow was +418 million. Even without the regulatory credits, they would've had positive cash flow during a quarter where their factory was closed for a significant chunk of time.

I actually take this as a good sign - it shows that they can be profitable without counting on high margin model S/X.
