Sure but this was about the commercial charge stations

Correct - the OP vid was about the EA network specifically.
Tesla chargers don't have these problems.
Thats another reason I went EV. Its much more sociopolitical upheaval proof.
Chicago has equipped their garbage trucks with plows for several decades now. It's a good idea, and gets more use out of an expensive city vehicle. One of the few things they actually do right.
Us too. Too many idiots out there tonight.... Happy New Year to you as well!
Smart. When I retire, no way in hell Ill be out on holdays.
If one has to have 1 or 2 gas vehicles, what is the point of owning an electric vehicle when the whole idea is to phase internal combustion powered vehicles out?
It went ok. Normal.Fell asleep for about an hour, woke up to some big fireworks going off at 12:04am (out in the country which is whatever, I don’t mind), they abruptly stopped and 2 ambulances went flying down my road very shortly after
Hope y’all had a better new years than they did!
If this keeps up, they'll be phasing themselves out.

Yeah, and Tesla is still bigger than what, the next 5 auto companies combined?
By the way, what do you think about their Q4 deliveries? Another huge record? 380K, 400K, 420K, more?
You have to be big to lose $700 BILLION...... Size doesn't equate to profit... As Tesla has proven. And the U.S. automakers obviously have.

I would say both numbers are big. The amount of cars they made.... And the amount of money they lost making and selling them.
I think you are conflating stock price and profit. Tesla is highly profitable; their margins are the envy of the industry. They did not lose money making them; quite the opposite. The stock price has nothing to do with losing money from operations. It is a paper gain or loss for stock holders until they sell.
For example, the Model Y is the #1 selling vehicle in the world by revenue and generates more profit for Tesla than any car in the world.
By the way, my TSLA is still worth more than when I bough it in mid 2020. If I had bought the stock instead of the car, the stock gain would still be 5x.
You don't lose $700 Billion dollars in a year, and at the same time make money selling your product.
The money is in separate buckets.
1. Income from operations. Tesla will make money this year resulting from operations.
2. Potential value in shares of the company at play in the market.
Its the latter that dropped in potential value, sales of these shares could still be profitable depending on the acquisition cost of the shares.

Bingo! He's also cutting prices, so it isn't so rosy anymore. If he'd keep his mouth shut he'd be a lot better off. FTR I like him, not his product.
Tesla cut prices to offset the coming tax credit incentive. As it turned out, buyers made out because not all the Teslas qualify.
Tesla didn't lose $700B. And they made a lot of money.
TSLA valuation went down by $700B. And they are still the most valuable car company, by far. What does that tell you?
To your point, TSLA investors had a uber rocky 2022. Let's see what happens after Q4 results come in, and forward.
