This pathological need to ridicule Elon Musk for what are obviously joking (and often quite clever and funny) tweets reminds me of the (alleged) Q-Anon twitter account that ridiculed Alexandria Ocassio-Cortez for a fun and sweet video she participated in while in college. Tesla is now America’s #1 premium automobile company, ahead of Mercedes, BMW and Lexus. Musk is doing more than anyone else to actively transition the world away from a fossil-fuel-based transportation system, essential if we want the human race and all of us to survive into the future.
As we expected and wrote two months ago, Tesla has now become in the fourth quarter of 2018 the number 1 luxury automaker in America both in sales volume, outselling Lexus and BMW, and revenue—a remarkable milestone, for a 15-year-old company with just 3 models and no dealer network.
For 2019, we predict that Tesla’s growing sales trend will continue and that the Silicon Valley automaker will outsell all its competitors in the U.S. premium vehicle category for the full year.
So, North American Sales Volume and Revenue, 4Q 2018, all models.
(…and Forbes is definitely not Tesla fanboi territory!)
But keep on keepin’ on. If you spook the investo-bots enough, the stock price might dip down into !!BUY NOW!! territory. Which would be cool, since I can afford to pick up some more bargain-priced shares right now. (-:
Did that on the dip after the Rogan podcast. Stock price was right back where it started in two trading days.
Held the new shares less than a month, then sold them for a 17% markup.
Can’t speak for all the investors, but if all it takes to get social media all a-twitter is a couple of bad Dad jokes, I’m all for it.
