Someone once told me that if you want to see if a company is going in the right direction, look at them on their after hours like are they working on the weekend and offering overtime pay?
I'm no whistle blower but my boys are telsa workers and ahem, I don't work for tesla but where I'm at, I can see Tesla
Tesla is not just one big manufacturing company here in fremont ca. They have a few office buildings nearby that admin and higher executives are at. A few times driving by, you can see their manufacturing play by play. Not only are they renting out these buildings but doing so because they needed a place with a big parking space to store their tesla vehicles at night time and by day time is when they ship these vehicles out. Production is good when you see such a thing. Things are changing though. As of today, the street by the highway, we in california folks calling it the frontage road is used as an overnight parking spot for them truckers, well they are banning all vehicles from parking there. Partly blaming it on them homeless people who are starting to taking over this stretch of the road. So that means them project managers are going to have to figure out another way for the logistic part. This could mean a loss in some revenues as they might rent out another space to run their overflow logistics. Not to be worry, it is a just a small dip.
Tesla was rising due to them upping up their production in china's plant but the virus I'm telling you, it is slowing everybody down.
China got their first car delivered just recently. Competition will be fierce as gm will want a piece of this pie as well.
What kind of people do you think will go for a tesla if money is not an issue? To me, tesla people are apple phone user people. If you like apple products you will fit well with tesla. I'm an android guy and not a millennium so I don't fancy them tesla. Plus when you see them all the time on the road here in silicone implant valley, it doesn't strikes my fancy anymore. I saw my first tesla back in the early days, the S model and I was impressed. It was that sexy. Not now though. The model 3 killed it plus everything new was intriguing until you understand it and the fascination goes away fast. Even at $25K a vehicle, I wouldn't buy it. That is just my personal choice. I'll force myself to buy one if regulation forces me to buy one like gas powered vehicles become obsolete.
