    Q3 2018 - Tesla Turns a Profit

      Tesla beat Wall Street Analyst estimates by a wide margin. 

    Tesla reported Q3 2018 Earnings on Wednesday with revenue of $6.82 billion and a profit $417 million or $2.90 per share. Tesla's earnings per share widely out-paces analyst estimates of losses of 15 to 19 cents per share.

    Revenue on automotive production increased 158% year over year with a dramatic increase in sales during the summer of 2018 due to increased sales of the Model 3 sedan. Tesla also cites increased gross margins on the Model S and Model X due to increased efficiencies.  The Model 3's margin grew to above 20% while production rate increased and manufacturing costs dropped. Telsa is now moving an average of 4,300 Model 3s off the assembly line per week.

    Tesla did not change their overall guidance for the year and production goals remain at 100,000 Model S and Model X units for 2018.

    Me either. I thought they would run out of cash over the summer, but they seem to have just squeezed through to a profitable quarter. If they can maintain the momentum on the Model 3, they could actually make it.

    God I hope so. And I could use some good news in our crazy world.

      Chevrolet News:2027 Chevrolet Bolt is Back Under $30,000

      By smk4565 · Posted

      I actually think the EV Equinox and Blazer are too long and low.  The ICE Equinox looks better.  And the Equinox EV doesn't have the painted C-pillar like the 1997 Mercedes ML that the Equinox later adopted and the GLE and Equinox still do after all these years.    The problem with the Bolt's look is it a 2027 model that looks like a 2020 model.  I know they didn't want to spend a lot of money on it to keep cost down but I feel like they could have tweaked the styling a little more to make it look new.

      Clearly Chevrolet is going for family looks and they are keeping this Bolt inline with the past generation. In order, Bolt, Equinox, Blazer

      I wish it looked more like the Trax, which I think is really well styled for a cheap car.  I think the price on the Bolt is good, the range and performance is fine for a sub $30k car.  It does look a lot like the old Bolt EUV which doesn't have good promotions.   Stretch the wheelbase 4 inches and drop the roof 2 inches and widen it 2 inches and they'd be on to something.

      I honestly do not see employees getting 3-day work weeks due to AI bots. We are nowhere near that and as of right now, I can tell you the expectation is that those with jobs are expected to do even more now in a 5-day work week. CEOs predict new type of working week
