Great management, what other companies that you are comparing to say less. GM blowing the doors off growth and earnings. The worst GM year in earnings in the last ten years is almost the best ever year that Tesla has had in it history which by the way only made money in the last year or two out of those ten years.
Show me another UAW union automobile company doing better. It's impossible when you dont have control of your company.
I type this as Ford just reached an agreement, Ford is in a tight spot and cant afford to go on, so they sold out and agreed to union demands that GM is still resisting. Turning over more control to the UAW as far as operations and plant closings. I dont care so much, have no sympathy for the UAW and most workers dont either which is why membership is at a historic all time low. But they still ahve a stranglehold on the auto companies. They have since branched out to the education field.
This, and if California can stop being so smug and look at new diesel engine technology that can drop in now then we'd be better off. Cummins just unveiled a new diesel engine that reduces nox by 90%. Another company has a tested certified Six cylinder boxer twin-turbo diesel engine that exceeds 2035 requirements.Yes, looks like a good one for companies that will pay the price and its a HUGE price to pay but Tesla doesn't have the capability to build ICE semi's like some other companies do and competition will heat up with I think another 7 companies world wide in the planning or more advanced stages.
Right now 6 companies make EV semi's for the USA but the legacies make both EV and ICE. Tesla rules with range as of the time of this story. I suspect will rule for a while keeping in mind these things are literally crawling through production.
I think its cool though just don't know how practical and we won't know for a decade.

For new homes yes. Also why the NEM contract was changed.
The market was split between retrofitting an existing house and the freshly minted law requiring mandatory panels on new housing.
Combine the contract change with mandatory solar for new housing and the the power companies basically get to steal the productivity for pennies from new homeowners while selling the free power to everyone else for premium prices.
The new homeowner is forced to deal with the ownership expense but gets little of the benefit - biggest boon for the power companies ever.
OT: Anyone contact you over the last couple of weeks about refurbishing some BMW injectors?ICE do not meet the agenda no matter how clean they are.
Nope, not even if sunshine and pure spring water came out of the tailpipe.ICE do not meet the agenda no matter how clean they are.
Cause it doesn’t and it’s not the darling they chose.Nope, not even if sunshine and pure spring water came out of the tailpipe.![]()
What about the ones that bought at $400? $300? $250? What about the ones that bought in July 2023 down 32% and no words at all coming from Tesla that says things will be better. I personally think it MAY get a boast starting in Jan 2024 when the taxpayers will allow those buying an EV to use the $7,500 tax credit at time of sale, possibly as a downpayment.I'm sure I will be depressed when the market closes today and I update my spreadsheet to reflect the gain or loss of my TSLA shares for October 2023. But since I don't need the money at the moment it's just numbers on paper. People who buy TSLA at $200 will be creaming their jeans when it reaches $400. Or $1000 as some people who evaluate the company differently than those who think by traditional methods do.
For people who bought TSLA when it was around $40 they are still way ahead today. That's the way it goes with the stock market.
I'm not a union fan but I'd love to see the union in Tesla.UAW is gunning for Tesla now that the strike has been settled with the big three USA makers.
UAW organization meetings taking place right now at the Tesla California production facilities. It will be very tempting I would think as a worker to say no to the UAW with the lastest pay scales and incredible perks the UAW just won in Detroit.
After all the UAW was criticizing GMs CEO outlandish income, heck she is no where near Musks income.
The incredible concessions the UAW won IS going to raise the pay for all non union autoworkers as they try to keep unions out.
I expect this may hang further one Tesla share price as their profits are getting hit from all directions as well as EVs in general. Maybe they will develop a hybrid and without an ICE I think they will be the VW Beetle of automakers which will be good but will never take over the USA market.

As of right now the shine is wearing off, faster then I expected but always expected. I do think the media train, like they always do is overstating the demise, EVs have a place, just not as much as some might think. After all is was the darling of the media to begin with.

I would too, it would even the playing field since Teslas profit in the USA come solely on the backs of tax credits and the USA ICE makers have to compete with that and be disadvantaged with the UAW cost.I'm not a union fan but I'd love to see the union in Tesla.![]()
Imagine the union and then $7,500 incentive disappearing. Lookout below......................I would too, it would even the playing field since Teslas profit in the USA come solely on the backs of tax credits and the USA ICE makers have to compete with that and be disadvantaged with the UAW cost.
Im blown away by the cost of the new contract. As a parent, I am happy for my son at BMW because all non union automakers follow what union pay package are in the desire to keep the unions out and from ruining their company by losing control to an outsider.
Yeah it's funny. Take care of your people an no one is interested in unionizing. Way back the industry thought to take advantage of workers and now they'll be forced to deal with it for the rest of the company's existence. It's called consequence of actions.I would too, it would even the playing field since Teslas profit in the USA come solely on the backs of tax credits and the USA ICE makers have to compete with that and be disadvantaged with the UAW cost.

Well actually there is a strike against repairing Tesla's in Sweden for what they claim is mistreatment.Yeah it's funny. Take care of your people an no one is interested in unionizing.

I'm sure at one time it used to be competitive to not have safety standards or decent pay and just replace workers as others got hurt or killed.
Why do you think Elon has tried to emulate Henry Ford's plan? That was his original idea. Not sure where it got lost along the way, but eventually the unions stepped into Ford.
I don't know much of their industry either. I'd have to be in it to really understand it. I just don't have enough information to know for sure. I know the history of my industry and it resulted in sleep deprivation which caused its own dangers and poor practices which mean for a lot of death and dismemberment. Now it's there mostly to fight shareholder greed attempting to line their pockets despite our own pockets and own health. I do have to say it does suck working for a company that no matter what you do that the standoff means that you're only a number. The last thing to fight for is pay for our trouble and really that's all that is left.Well actually there is a strike against repairing Tesla's in Sweden for what they claim is mistreatment.
Also, UAW membership in the USA is at an all time low but a huge margin. So bad the UAW went into the education field representing workers.
I do agree, Union threats are good, I heard it first hand from an upper level manager at a non union US plant, the UAW keeps the non union workers at non union plants happy so they dont vote union. I do think this settlement is over the top and will continue the decline of the US made automobile but what do I know?
