  1. OK ,ALL YOU PEOPLE WORRIED ABOUT PRICES . HAVE YOU ALL FORGOTTEN THAT WE THE CUSTOMER DICTATE THE PRICE OF THE THINGS WE BUY . IN A CAPITALIST SYSTEM HOMES AUTOS ALL THINGS WE BUY ARE WORTH WHAT WE DECIDE IS A GOOD PRICE IS .IM HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR HOMES THEY WILL NEVER MAKE THERE MONEY BACK. IM SEEING 190K HOMES BEING BOUGHT FOR UPWARDS OF 250K OVER A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE THAT IS NOT INDICATIVE OF THE MARKET 3 BD ROOM 2 BA HOUSE ACRE TO 3 ACRES 150K WAS AND NOW 320K NO WAY SOMBODY WILL BUY THAT HOME FOR THAT PRICE LATER WHEN IT NEED A ROOF A/C WILL TRY AND SELL A 190K HOME FOR 420K JUST DONT UNDERSTAND .

  2. I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered. I don't know where to go here out of devastation.

  3. The EV tax credit cuts could challenge Tesla’s growth, but volatility often creates opportunity. I’m diversifying—tech stocks like NVIDIA for AI, plus Bitcoin’s rise suggests crypto might hedge against market uncertainty. Thoughts?

  4. Tesla is screwed. Musk will cash in the profits today but after the MAGA euphoria died and the reality of the orange turd economic policy will be a failure, Musk will be richer while Tesla stocks plummet.

  5. I don't actually think Musk is tied in on car sales driving their company anymore, he wants to make it on software margin from FSD, margin on Powerwall and Megapacks etc.

    In a very legitimate way, I think removing the credits is a good thing – not because it saves all that much at the federal level, but hear me out. The challenge of having to make it sans supports, can drive innovation and creativity, the same way as working around scarce materials and finding alternatives would. It's that line of thinking that'll drive the ideal battery formulation with cheap readily available materials available onshore. Someone is going to filter through all the thousands of papers being generated and probably narrow-down or stumble on some combination of materials, process etc that totally change the transport space. If it's applicable to remove that short-haul only thinking on the semi, it could totally change the trucking industry in short order, driving down cost of moving goods and providing some relief to the consuming businesses / individuals. Fleet owners who are penny pinching their operations will find fertile routes to reap savings even if it's not all routes… not every truck needs to handle every use case.

  6. Most EV enthusiasts in Europe, wouldn’t touch a Tesla’s with a barge pole now. Many I know are swapping there Tesla for another Ev Manufacturer.
    Musk has tarnished the brand over here.

  7. Just trust China they better electric cars 315 miles 15 minutes charging. American companies are just slow and expensive . these wrong people spread wrong information about China but there produce good quality cars . They have no right to bash China when 99 percentage stuff comes from China. Even America dollars 😂. more electric cars .

  8. Not just the taxpayer subsidized tax rebates, but also the carbon credit scam that Tesla earns from legacy carmakers who miss emission targets. These need to go regardless of how they may hurt Elon’s pride & joy (Tesla).

  9. Elon doesn't want the tax credits. He said it many times. He only takes them because others get it, and if he refused it the shareholders would be pissed.

  10. All this talk is about how much Tesla will gain or will lose with the tax cut. The tax cut is supposed to go to Americans. That's what it's for it's not for the billion dollar companies.

  11. Tesla sales will slow down if the subsidies are cut – and they will be.
    Elon does not have to worry because Tesla now produces more cars in China and Germany than here in the U.S.
    Elon knew it was coming and set his plans in motion years ahead – the folks who're screwed are current EV owners.
    No new charging stations will be built, the existing ones will be left to rot – in 3 years, China will dominate the world's EV and battery market.

  12. Removing U.S. subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs) could significantly impact Tesla’s profitability. In Q1 2024, Tesla reported $1.1 billion in net income, with $442 million stemming from federal carbon credits and substantial EV rebates, which could exceed $1 billion if a significant percentage of buyers claimed the $7,500 credit. Elon Musk acknowledged that eliminating these subsidies would hurt Tesla’s short-term profits but might benefit the company long-term by reducing competition. Overall, while Tesla could gain a competitive edge, the immediate financial impact would likely be negative.

  13. So our infrastructure can't handle more EVs. Maybe invest in infrastructure and our power grids first?? Make fiber and even starlink available for us in very rural areas like Biden promised and lied?

  14. I understand there is a big market for CHILDREN…sold to the highest bidder…like CATTLE. Who is responsible for the current slave market in America??? Who is getting rich off of this shi$$$

  15. No Tax Incentives for Political Agendas & EVs are part of a Political Agenda. If people want to buy EVs then go ahead but using Government to try and force an EV market that no one wants needs to stop. Also Elon should start making ICE Vehicles as well because there's a HUGE MARKET for anyone that focuses on ICE vehicles that's just waiting to explode. In fact it would be considered Patriotic to manufacture & offer new ICE Vehicles by a lot of people.
