| Hazard:
|
| The lithium-ion battery cells in certain Powerwall 2 systems can
| cause the unit to stop functioning during normal use, which can
| result in overheating and, in some cases, smoke or flame and can
| cause death or serious injury due to fire and burn hazards.
|
| Remedy: Replace
|
| Recall Date: November 13, 2025
|
| Units: About 10,500

| Tesla Powerwall products (including Powerwall 3) have a massive
| failure rate. Seems like 10% over lifetime. Shoddy technology
| compared to the leading competitors, especially the inverter.
| They should go back to white labeling cheap Delta inverters.

| Tesla down 7%, P/E still at 275, as opposed to 9 for companies

| So, what does the market know that we don't?

| Dude, we are the market, and we don't know why Musk deserves

| Hey come on they're making robotaxi eventually! Surely that's

| But they will have 1 million robotaxis on the road by year

| They will start loosing money this quarter. That way it fixes
| the high P/E aspect of things.
|
| Now they will be a 'pure play' in Robotics & AI !

| I love this scene from Silicon Valley:

| This show was really ahead of its time. "If you show revenue
| people will ask how much and it will never be enough" /s
| Imaginary trillions of revenues from Optimus are definitely
| much more appealing.

| Its honestly baffling to me that people trust their lives to
| Tesla autopilot. The company has a record track of making
| products that aren't well tested.

| I have been hearing so much about Tesla and fire in the same

| Knowing what I know about Space X, basically its shortcuts

| cobbled together from parts, and there is some condition that
| causes failure to restrict output current.
|
| However unlike Space X where they do test launches, Tesla
| most likely just pushes products out to public and lets the
| public beta test them.

|
| I bet all contracts are conveniently missing the word
| "guaranteed"
