    It’s up over $60 from where it was at this time last year, so there’s still work to do on this clearly overinflated stock

      Tesla has been over inflated for years now. At one point (for quite a long time) it was worth more than every other major auto maker combined despite having pitiful profits relative to Toyota or many of the other players.

        Many of them are immigrants who got in with work visas so they can’t easily change jobs. Elon knows this and exploits the situation. It’s all just terrible.

          See it like this for a less bleak angle: It’s unlikely tesla is going to just close up shop, even if the trend continues. And if it gets really bad, there will likely be a sale of ownership.

        I think the canadian Feds are looking into that, and I hope they fine the ever loving crap out of him.

          Is it wrong to think that people should go to jail for fraud instead of just fines everywhere?

              Have a warrant for his arrest, make him never come to Canada again and if he renounces his citizenship even better!

              Then grab him next time he comes to Canada. Can’t be pardoned by the puppet for crimes done in another country.

        That particular situation looks like it may be due to how the process worked and government comments that the money would be running out earlier than planned.

        Apparently dealers weren’t required to submit at the time of sale, but on a monthly or quarterly basis instead, which is a very common timeline for businesses to handle things like that. But after the announcement of the program ending early, Tesla submitted everything they had pending immediately, which makes complete sense.

        I have not done a lot of research on this particular topic, and the little I have done may not have been accurate sources, but that situation would line up without needing to grasp at any crazy theories.

      Or that it’s down 34% since the start of the year. At this rate the company will be bankrupt by the 3rd quarter.

        They dropped 72% in late 2021 albeit over 15 months. What I’m saying is, they can beat that record, and quicker this time… I believe in them!!

            Nah. It should be negative. There is such a big disgust of mine when seeing Tesla that they should pay me if they want me to buy the stock.

    It seems it’ll sink on to 252 the moment the markets open, if I understand Yahoo finance correctly.

    I don’t really understand what the pre-market value is, but it seems to mean the value keeps on fluctuating even after the markets close and no stocks formally trade hands. And it looks like Tesla is going to have yet another rough day.

    I don’t feel bad for any of the idiots losing their money on this. They all had plenty of time to get out - if they sold after the CEO made a nazi salute they would pretty much get out on top. Whoever is a shareholder deserves anything coming for them. (Sadly that includes myself, indirectly through the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund. Bummer. Oh well, I had it coming.)

    Edit: Half an hour after the markets open the stock has dropped to ~241. Lol.

    Shorting Tesla stock sounds almost like a foolproof way to make money these days…

      Sure, but entire fortunes were lost shorting Tesla in the past as well. It has been wildly overvalued for ages and it still is ridiculously overvalued, but I personally wouldn’t bet on it.
