Musk was very cautious about next 12 months with uncertainty about the economy. Apparently Tesla has a hiring freeze and only he can approve any new hire. Also plans to start advertising to help spur demand.
Again EVs will continue to be an important segment but if even Tesla can’t sell at a strong enough margin then I have zero hopes for GM, Ford, Stellantis etc.

Ye I’m not worried about Tesla - might actually be a good time to buy their stock.
The issue is they went through production hell as Musk puts it and barely survived without extra baggage of having to also manufacture ICE cars.
GM has the worst CEO and the bureaucracy there is legendary- i just can’t see how they will be able to make profitable EVs anytime soon.

Ido think that the car would benefit by using both a combination of radar and vision but I’m not a software programmer so what do I know, it just seems that way based on theory.
I do like having parking sensors on my car since I have heard new owners saying vision doesn’t help right now with parking. I still think autopilot could be improved a bit. It’s a little jerky with the braking, more so than with other cars I’ve had. I do wish it wouldn’t shut off autosteer every time I make a small correction and I feel like it gets a little too close for comfort to the center line for my liking sometimes so I do have to correct it. I feel like I want to trust autopilot in these situations but that’s how accidents happen when you trust it too much.

The end user who who has to use the design is the ultimate judge of whether something sucks or not and nobody else- not the engineers, not the programmers, or anybody else.
If something doesn't work as expected or intended then it's a failure and back to the drawing board until it gets right.

My news feeds filled with articles about a Tesla data breach with tons of leaked documents.

I highly doubt Tesla will want to play this out in court, some of the leaked documents could be damaging. The guy could just lawyer up and claim whistleblowing. I’m sure plenty of law firms will be very interested in the documents.

TSLA on the upswing
If it hits $250 (and it will), my Y gets paid off

I've loaded up on TSLA over the past year or so. It's now my single largest holding.
Haven't sold a single share since buying in (and I got the first 25% of my holding at $16)

It is ironic. Financing my Tesla with gains from Tesla
