KEY POINTS

  • Tesla missed on the top and bottom lines in its first-quarter earnings report.
  • Automotive revenue plunged 20% from a year earlier.
  • The stock, down 41% so far this year, was little changed in extended trading.

    I think you’re underestimating how much he has ruined this company and his reputation. I dreamt of owning a Tesla long ago. Now, there is nothing he can do that will make me reconsider purchasing a Tesla.

    Even if he leaves the company, I will not buy one. Even if he fully divests from Tesla, I will not buy one.

      I’m in the exact same boat, I considered buying a Tesla in a distant past, but the quality issues held me back. Dodged a bullet there, won’t touch one with a 10 foot pole to save my life now.

      But there’s many out there who don’t care or have short memories, and the richest man in the world can sure as hell afford all the PR he needs to wash away all the dirt, if he shuts up and goes back to running companies…

      My guess is Tesla will have grown their revenue by this time next year. Or you could be right and it goes up in flames, guess we’ll find out at some point…
