Tesla taking off in China, TDS reversal in China?
Do they see it as some level of support?

that would be from increased competition from the various local makers , they would at least be price competitive ( many customers wouldn't need all the bells whistles and cameras ) so a cheaper look-alike would be appealing to some

sure there might be some nationalistic backlash , but i suspect better value ( in the buyer's eyes ) would be the major factor

the EU is going broke , they won't be able to afford bicycles or Starlink soon ,
 

It could be time to pause step back , and indeed ask yourself the question;
Then spreadsheet and data input will show you the Answer.
You might be surprised
 
only academic interest here ( for me ) i hold several car/motorcycle related stocks ( APE , MTO , TRA , and PWR ) , so Chinese v. other makers is the important trend for me

Next time he’s in the Ross Island Hotel I’ll pass your suggestion on to him.

I don't think Musk is motivated by money.
For him it seems to be a means to do the things that are important: the engineering stuff to build cars, spaceships,and boring machines, the software for driving cars and creating AI systems.
With Tesla, what is there still to do, build electric bikes or maybe speedboats?
Let Tesla go, save the cars from been vandalised by dickheads, and find something else exciting to build.
I bet he will tire of the politics of getting DOG to do what they want, he will be "retired" in six months when all the hard stuff is done.

I have contemplated it over the past 6 or so months. However, at 57 I still have a few years on the planet and a business with staff members that I care about. I am instead preparing one of my valued members for a possible handover in several years.

Some days I become very frustrated by government's disrespect at how they spend the tax dollars of working people. I have worked hard all my life, a minimum of 50 hours per week, saved and invested so that I could support my family and retire comfortably. And then I am required to pay ever increasing amounts of tax, levies, rates, etc while I see wastage and brain farts for ideas from governments and other authorities with no accountability. That is when I wonder, why am I doing this, why am I increasing my profits to give bigger amounts to wasteful organisations?

Working for the government is a much better plan.
 
I think the whole thing is manufactured outrage to a degree. We have seen this happen out of the left before. They run with hiveminded narratives that can flip on a dime.

Once it becomes "unpopular" they will scuttle off again.

As the big boys depart, the retail investors pile in.
According to a JP Morgan analyst, even as they downgrade the Tesla Sp expectations, retail buyers are pouring in.
Most times the big boys win.

Tesla has a gamestop like following. I was expecting sub $200 about now.
For now the news cycle has already churned.
So need to wait on the next outrage point.

A couple of lunatics have been arrested for firebombing the LA tesla dealership, and another Trans activist has been arrested for chucking molotov cocktails ate Tesla dealership in northern Colorado.
They will be the next outrage point for the other lunatics to rally around when they go to court.

Na that's a positive for law and order. There were threats of following the money as well. Reid hoffman and soros broke out in a sweat pretty quickly, so it may back off a bit. I'd say they will try a different tactic.
One of the reasons the stock is sticking is there seems to be some fightback against it.

I was worried about negative press and loons back in nov-dec. Not so worried now as I think they are starting to get a handle on it. $150-$170 I'll probably start filtering in depending on climate.
