Thread regarding Ford layoffs

“If you find yourself spending a lot of time giving presentations and reviewing spreadsheets, you’re barking up the wrong tree,”

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/dec/08/elon-musk-tesla-california-texas

He moves to Texas, big FU to California
Has market cap worth more than all the major automakers combined
He owns the EV market globally
As time goes on, he is in sourcing more
He says amazing quotes which is what is in the title
He is launching stuff into space

Farley said two words (honest and robust) and that saved the Bronco Sport.

Hmmm.....

Having a hard time see how the big 2.5 is going to stop him. The Texas move may attract all the people that would never go to California, another boost for Tesla.

Exactly. I was a Quality/Warranty Engineer for Ford. All we did was do high level presentations (no detail) just trend charts. Ford has close to a Billion dollars in warranty losses. All they want to do is go to meetings and make useless presentations.

Tesla has tons of brand strength in the EV market. They will not be overtaken on price and deal alone.

Elon Music is brilliant but is full of himself, autocratic, not a family guy. Ask his employees.

I agree his sales are good and a move in Texas will attract people from Michigan not interested by California.

Tesla won't be able to sustain the demand and competition. It was a good stock, but will soon come to a plateau.

SUV is in demands in the US, and every other company will have a cheaper alternative within 2 years.

There are a lots of emerging reliable solid players in China for their own markets in EV. Musc lead is coming to an end. Give it 2-3 years. Good stock for a year or two, then it will drop dramatically.

Elon Musk is a genius, Bill Ford not so much.
