Civil forfeiture w/o a conviction should be unconstitutional. I don't see how the practice can be defended.

Tesla began Semi deliveries, but there's been very little buzz. The lack of key specs, price tag, cost, weight, production plans, likely played a role, but in years past Tesla's fan base would have gone wild. Ofc, part of that reflects Elon Musk quickly pivoting to Hunter Biden.

It's ridiculous. Tesla pushed prices as high as it could for as long as it could. It kept R&D very low, didn't roll out new EVs, ramp up service centers, etc. - all to maximize short-term profits. That let Musk extract value like a private equity parody via mass share sales.

Great point,

! Say someone tells you something that isn't true, and then repeats that statement every few months for several years - if you're tempted to give that person, say, $10,000 - perhaps you should go back to first principles and reboot your software.

I don't see how Tesla avoids a sales collapse in China by 2026. No new vehicles while everyone else is getting better, cheaper. A Model Y refresh probably won't do much if the Model 3 update is any indication.
I recommend watching this video review of the Xiaomi SU7 to better understand the competition in China. This particular review is pretty good.
The Xiaomi SU7 competes directly with the Model 3 and seems to have its own strengths.

• Analyst consensus: 308K
This calculation includes the April production number for Giga Shanghai which showed they were operating at 41% of capacity between 19-30 Apr.

This could be a *very* big deal. The $TSLA 2023 bull case is centered on U.S. tax credits fueling booming, high-margin domestic sales (offsetting meh-to-weak China/Europe). If the Model Y faces a $55K cap vs. $80K...
Potential red flag for Tesla Model Y: Ford Mach E listed here are having a price cap of $55k. Mach E is very close to the Model Y in size…
This would force Tesla to drop ASP by $11k to get the Model Y LR to qualify.
Not great if this is true.
