The Tesla Bubble Is Bursting

not really. selling a 2019 tesla today for $45k is hardly a good price that the owner paid $90k less than 3 years ago. that's a loss of $45k in value in barely 3 years. in contrast, my 2019 EVs, which cost $40k 3 years ago brand new, I bought used for 28k, $12k loss of value. see the difference? and most owners of my EVs keep em since they are virtually maintenance and problem free. teslas are garbage.

I assume you are talking about a Model S because Model 3's don't go for $90K.

They are pretty pricey where I am. You'd be lucky to get a 6 to 7 year old 2015 for $45K.

Told my brother not to buy the stock when elon smoked the pot. Oh the regrets.

Anyhow tesla isn't the only one. truth is there are alot of tesla like stocks if u do ur research...
 
Are you talking about a 2019 Tesla S? Can you share any data where you can get a 2019 Tesla S for 45k?
no, not S. I don't remember the models since this was early last year when I was shopping and researching EVs.

Not a Model 3/Y because they were never $90K. Even the high end performance ones were only $56K-$65K.

A seller getting $45K for a Tesla Model 3 that originally sold in the $46K+ range is not a bad deal.

they were definitely not tesla model 3s for sure. but if you don't believe me then that's fine. buy at your own risk, you can't say you weren't warned. ;)

Well we are running out of models if they aren't the Model S or Model 3.

my point was that there were far too many late model used model teslas on sale to make me comfortable in buying one. it's a natural question to ask that if they are so reliable then why are most used EVs are usually teslas followed by Nissan leafs. but if it doesn't make you pause and think then have at it, your money! doesn't effect me either way.

OK you made a claim that a 90k Tesla can now be had for 45k.
Can you provide some evidence to that claim.

just check craigslist. as I said, i'm sure they weren't the S model. Maybe model X, I honestly don't remember since the sheer fact that so many late model used teslas were available raised alarm bells in my mind so I didn't bother looking too much into teslas altogether. there were cheaper ones than the prices I listed out, probably model 3s, I don't remember cuz I DON'T CARE! I'm happy with the decision that I've made with my current 2 EVs...they are known to practically run forever without any problems so I'm sticking with them.

your money, your gamble...go get a tesla and see for yourself.
 
Tesla ticker as of right now is $213.49

The $255 range was one of the highest it ever was in all its years ($286 top)

It swings between about $180 to $255. Right now it is about in the middle.
Two and a half years ago it was $35.

But I agree Tesla could be in a better financial state. They are investing billions but only sell 50K cars year.

You aren't going to recover all your seed money by selling cars for $1M. I think if you add up ALL their yearly costs and subtract it from the revenue for all the cars they sell they come out $5K short per car.

I'm sure the pressure is on to sell a whole bunch of premium Model X versions ($132K) to break even. Infact you can only order the expensive version now. They didn't open the $65K one up for ordering yet.
I know not of any modelx for 65k. Is that being sold on Mars.

How are the cars?
I have driven all models others than their sports car. Pretty good to drive. I currently own a model y and it drives fantastically.

wait til the Gigafactory is complete we'll see about a bubble.

if anything Tesla could outsource it's fuel cells to other start ups.

not like Elon Musk is looking for a monopoly
Elon Musk is the Nikola Tesla of this century. He care less about stock exchange and more about innovation and solving problems.

Tesla is a scam. The company has never turned a profit and never will. Elon Musk is a cocaine addict with a made-up name who mooches off every government program there is. No successful consumer innovation, from the Model T to the Apple II, has ever started at the top and worked its way down. Successful consumer innovations start by building a useful product as minimalist as possible and pricing it so the greatest possible number of ordinary people can afford it.

Tesla is a dead end and needs to die and get out of the way so real innovators can make real cars. If the bubble is bursting, that's great news for everyone else.



Elon Musk the cocaine addict has a pathological hatred of fuel cells. He promotes change by insisting the most clean, efficient, and economical energy storage system mathematically possible is heresy and anyone who suggests fuel cells are a good idea whose time has come is a heretic and should be stoned to death.



If you can't sell an expensive American car to the country with the highest per capita GDP in the world, who the heck are you going to sell them to? Indians? Germans? Russians?
Warning warning republican in the midst. :D

kindly find me a model X 2019 for 45k. I am willing to buy it just to have another one. Only condition no accidents or anything broken.

You see these type of articles for a lot of cars. My experience is not the same.

entirely acceptable. My whole point is that I saw far too many late model used teslas for sale that raised red flags for me so I opted for american and korean EVs (by the way, both of 'em have Chinese lithium-ion batteries and electric motors, just sayin')...daily commutes for me and my wife and haven't had the slightest problems with 'em even in the really cold weathers my state suffers. the EVs that I own, you don't find very many of 'em used for sale even though you see 'em on the road a lot. That just naturally showed me that these are reliable EVs in the long term.
