I think the very same thing about Amazon and wish I’d invested around 2010, though I do hold Telsa shares atm, I’m long-term holder here so I don’t care about the ups and downs.

It’s down 6% in premarket. People are waking up to his brand of nonsense. What the hell was that stuff he rolled out? It will never be seen on the road and wasn’t what he promised

depends in Tesla can execute it. its on the road now. Waymo and Baidu are the two (only) companies in this space right now. So this industry is right at its beginning with lots of room to interfere and compete.
specifically waymo that operates in the US doesn’t even use their own car (Baidu does in China) they retrofit existing cars. There’s arguably some advantages to this, but there’s also disadvantages of being unable to build cars really designed for their use case.
Baidu is a bit more like Tesla in some cases. they have their own platform (more open for others to integrate), this includes both self driving, and car platforms. they’ve been able to quickly scale as a result of this and government support for this kind of technology.
so in terms of their cybercab and robovan I wouldn’t call it nonsense, there’s a big market ready to take. the issue Tesla is going to have is if they can deliver on time and in the way they’re suggesting (more distributed ownership and ability for individuals to operate rather than monoliths like uber etc.). there’s a few other companies out there working on similar things, cruise, motional, aurora for example and some are expected to his the streets soon
as for the robot… it seems more like a side project, I don’t see them being really that useful. but for R&D these things aren’t always a bad idea to get into
I don’t know what you’re talking about, the man is true to his word. I am posting this from Mars where we landed a while ago. We’re all in our fully self driving 2nd gen Tesla Roadsters which were delivered by Tesla Semi lorries. The power to send this message came from my Tesla solar roof.

Energy business is just killing it right now, taking a lot of market share. Couldn’t be more in contrast to Auto.

Oh yes!
The soaring share price isn’t based on any fundamentals though, just expectations of crony capitalism over in the USA.
I imagine there’s a quote from Buffet about investing in banana republics!
That said, given the bizarre albeit demoractic choice by the electorate in the USA, I am interested in what kinds of exploitative investment opportunities will arise from this. The orange man is never shy about having a list of people he likes and people he doesn’t.

While the share price is still pretty detached from reality I do think the Trump win has a big impact on fundamentals.
100% important tariffs would basically ~kill the EV competition in the US (I don’t think the domestic producers are a big threat to Tesla).
With Hyundai, Kia, VW (+china) etc out of the picture then, price pressure lifts and auto margins can get back up towards where they started out, or at least stop the decline.
