I just got back from a walk and showed this article to said solar panel neighbor. He was hilarious he went off as he thinks it's a matter of time b/f it happens here in FL.

In Texas, it depends on who your select as your management company and your upstream provider. Some homes are on CoServ and I don't think they offer net metering, in fact, I believe there is a monthly charge to have solar AND be connected to the grid. I'm on OnCor, and depending on who manages my account... GreenMountain will give you Kw-to-Kw bill credits, but charges 14c/Kwh for consumption. I'm with OctopusEnergy which is currently 8.5c/Kwh consumption and whole-sale real-time rates for Solar production to grid.. anywhere from .5c/Kwh all the way to $9/Kwh. But generally, it's between .3c - .25c /kwh.
The writing is on the wall.
Ford again hikes the starting price of the F-150 Lightning pickup, now up 40% since launch
A new price increase of $4,000 means Ford has upped the entry-level pricing of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup by 40% since the vehicle's launch.www.cnbc.com
The biggest problem is that investors will tolerate a three-digit PE ratio when the Fed funds rate is effectively zero, but at ~4% the implied maximum PE is somewhere in the vicinity of 25 with an appropriate discount for risk. Within this framework, a $150 share price is a fair value for $6-7 forward EPS. If there's any hint (such as a weak Q4 report) that 2023 earnings might come in lower than this, then look out below.
Well.. they are supposed to be starting a lithium battery plant in Texas.. and Biden is pissing free money into these projects.. I'm assuming that will have some long term large benefits across the board. Anyway.. S3th stats compared to other car companies has me convinced... the more it drops.. the more I'll buy.
- "While Tesla is a TechStockPros favorite, we are moving the stock to a sell. We believe Tesla has lost its first-mover advantage.
- We expect the company will slowly but surely lose its stranglehold on the U.S. EV market as competition penetrates the EV market with more attractive pricing.
- S&P reported Tesla is losing market share in the EV market. We expect Tesla to face pressure in the near term as customers opt for cheaper electric models.
- We also believe the Twitter acquisition has taken center stage for CEO Elon Musk, leaving Tesla in the cold.
- Tesla stock is down 60% YTD. We don’t expect the company to make money going forward until the valuation is compressed. We recommend investors exit the stock."

These read like a hit piece on a newly unfavored company.
They would never collude, would they?...

I'm not surprised that the consequences of Musk's impulsive behavior are getting more serious. He has squandered a lot of goodwill. Ironically he is accomplishing himself in a few months what the shorts sellers tried and failed to do for years.

Nationally, the cost for solar in 2022 ranges from $16,870 to $23,170, after the tax credit, for a 10-kilowatt system, the size for which quotes are sought most often on EnergySage, a Boston-based quote-comparison site for solar panels and batteries. Most households can use a system of six or seven kilowatts, EnergySage spokesman Nick Liberati said. A 10-12 kilowatt battery costs about $13,000 more, he added.
Rooftop solar: How homeowners should do the math on the climate change investment
Homeowners can install solar at a cost that state and federal incentives and tax credits make financially attractive, but California just complicated the math.
sharing because 1. Tesla, 2. he refinanced his multi-million dollar RE portfolio at COVID lows and interest rate lows and bought the market. Made out like a bandit.
Go to the roulette wheel and put it all on red. Find out real quick either way. Less stress.

The stock neither popped nor crashed, so everyone on Twitter is wrong and no one is happy. Does this confirm or deny the overhang effect?
Either way, I'm now far more interested in rumors that Elon is preparing to move Twitter into bankruptcy, which seems irrational and implausible but since Musk is involved that just makes it more rational and plausible.
He preceded to say after I had posted that there is no successor and those who he believes could turn the company around do not want the job.
Agreed that M&A is possible, but only if interest rates soften or stock prices plummet.
I really don't see any tech companies "clearing the deck". If they do, look out below.
Apple starting to move out of China seems like a sure bet, but it won't conclude in 2023 because that sort of thing will probably take longer than anytime expects.
If tech stocks are up 20% by the end of 2023, it'll likely be because they started the year at even lower than current prices. (Exception for Intel, which despite management's best attempt at destroying the company still seems underpriced).
Shareholder activism and layoffs both seem like solid bets.
I caught a few of those posts this morning and was unclear whether this is some sort of a weird flex or actually paving the runway for a transition that was already planned.

OK.... I admit I am cynical of all these "battery powered" ideas. Probably because for the past 60 years my battery went dead at a critical moment.
Example: Duck hunting all day 20 miles back in the Atchafalaya Spillway (Louisiana). Heading out as the sun sets while trying to spot stumps, debris, barge traffic, etc in the dark... Guess what ? Battery on the spot light goes dead.... That's leaves a long way to go in darkness with other boats, tugs and crew boats.... No, they did not all have radar... Bad Juju...
Here is another one that will fall flat on it's face. How about getting one of these for your back up power when a big hurricane blows in off the gulf of Mexico and all the shore power is out for a week and the roads are blocked or out of service. Hard to beat that big ol, dirty, noisy diesel generator when that 20 cubic foot freezer is thawing all that meat out....

Amazon and Microsoft are backing this battery-powered generator startup
California-based startup Moxion Power is building high-powered, mobile energy storage technology that can be used pretty much anywhere.
Toyota’s president is questioning whether the push for the auto industry to phase out gas-powered vehicles and go exclusively electric is the right decision.
Akio Toyoda made the comments to reporters in Thailand after the auto manufacturer said around this time last year that it would produce 3.5 million electric vehicles annually by 2030, according to The Wall Street Journal.
"People involved in the auto industry are largely a silent majority," Toyoda said. "That silent majority is wondering whether EVs are really OK to have as a single option. But they think it’s the trend so they can’t speak out loudly."

I wanted a new pickup then covid hit and market/prices went crazy. I decided to not buy a new truck and keep driving existing truck. I suspect that at some point millions of Americans will say "will just keep my current vehicle" and the market is overrun with EVs. What happens to car manufacturers when many just do not want their product? Government incentives are great but with the rising prices not sure incentives even cover inflation. There is certainly a limited market for EVs now and in future but not the volume that government and car manufacturers are projecting. At some point there will be interesting court cases on "can local/state/federal government FORCE consumers to buy EVs". I certainly predict another "cash for clunkers" deal coming to take as many ICE vehicles as possible off the roads.

We are coming to and will be at the focal point of many technologies diverging into a complete ecosystem.
If you have a battery, you likely have solar panels or they are next on the list. If you have solar panels, then batteries are next on the list. & if you have an EV, you aren't going to install a generator for the next Hurricane. Many Louisianians over the next ten years will be questioning why should they get a generator over a battery. & battery will win majority of time because they can build upon it; unlike a generator which sits useless for more months than days used.
I follow your line of thinking....... America was built on "commerce". It is appearing that we are now depending on Government to fund commerce. Government needs to stay out of paying for development of EV and the Go Green movement. If removing the Government funding allows it to fall flat on it's face... then so be it.
Force private industry to pay for commerce rather than fund stock buy backs.
Seems this CEO is a bit vague in where the power to charge the batteries on his equipment is originating.

Audi has a Q8 that can do over 100 MPG on a Diesel hybrid; and VW than can do over 150 MPG on a Diesel (granted it was 3 cylinders) hybrid. none of those cars are allowed to be imported into the US.
There is no disconnect. This is part of the plan. Overlay this chart on the SPX or some of it's "Golden Children"....
We are not picking on you or TSLA.... an old saying.... "Can't see the forest for the TREE'...... The tree blocking your view is TSLA.
How does the forest look ?
TSLA versus the SPX (2 years)
Alternate viewpoint - there was a disconnect from reality, but it's being corrected.
Everyone is spouting this forward PE stuff as if there's no risk of a miss in the next 12 months. Even Elon has stated concerns with the macro environment.
That is not a convincing view point; every company can miss future earnings. Majority will have missed earnings and negative YoY growth in 2023.
That is more convincing of a disconnect than not. An industry leader, with a historical CAGR of ~55% and future CAGR of ~50% is trading at 27x forward Wallstreet earnings. I give more credit to fund managers heavily invested in Tesla which have had more accurate forecast saying 23x forward 2023. The ETF bubble is real by the way.

This might work in urban areas - basically the blue states - if they have reliable electricity (no rolling brownouts). But now way it works in spread out rural/suburban America aka red states. Will not be enough range.Not a word about how the batteries will be recharged over night

"stock performance is directly related to Elon..."
He's gone seriously off the rails, who could honestly say they trust him to not do more stupid shit?
2023 is going to shake out a lot of analysis, money managers and snake oil salesmen.......
Going to be interesting who the top 3 money managers will be for 2023....
Place your bets.
One of the few, very realistic view of where we are going into 2023.
