      I think it’s actually worse, because they have stocked up on unsold cars, and those cars are probably booked at way to high value.
      With constantly dropping EV prices, that unsold car park is depreciating fast. And when Tesla finally has to write them down, it will be very painful on the books.
      Tesla has worked really hard to achieve cheaper production of scale, but when that scale dwindles, Tesla is stuck with the cost of enormous surplus production capacity. That cost money, and factories will probably have to close, and writing off the value of a big production plant is losing money too.

        Teslas entire valutation is based on bullshit promises by Elon. Because there is no way they can be somehow more valuable than Toyota, Hyundai, VW, Honda, Renault, Stellantis and several other brands combined solely based on actual sales.

          I still have 175€ in Amazon gift cards from birthday presents and such. I’m not using them but I still said thank you lol

          Even tho that probably doesn’t do anything because Amazon already got that money, huh?

            Amazon will be delighted to keep the money. Spend the vouchers and donate the stuff you buy to charity if you want, but don’t let Amazon keep 100% margin unused gift cards!

              Yeah, you’re right. It’s stupid to hold onto them because they are already paid for. Maybe I’ll treat myself to a new RaspPi (mine is old as time, still model 2B)
