Walmart and Tesla have placed their lawsuit on hold with the expectation that the issues will be resolved with the panels remaining in place

Funding secured!

You should have let your electric owning machine charge a little longer.

I'm sure the Germans will be most intimidated by Tesla's engineering.

Amazon confirms fire caused by Tesla solar panels in 2018.

Who will be next? HP, Intel, eBay, Walgreens, Safeway, local or State government?

They will if it's on their rooftop.

The Amazon thing is expected given that Walmart had 8 failures of 240 (before they were shut down) and given the fact that Tesla failed on every single metric they could fail on (connectors, hotspots, loose wiring, you name it) across most installations. The story is just unfolding. This saga should ensure SCTY bankruptcy and billion in debts which Musk personally guaranteed...going to be an ugly period.

175 is back on the menu

Maybe receptive, rather than intimidated.

“I would be delighted about the company’s commitment and the new jobs it will create in our country.”

-- Bernd Althusmann, Minister for Economics, Germany.

that's not the german minister of economics. you should read better news outlets.

bernd althusmann is minister of economics in lower saxony.

You're right. The German Minister of Economic Affairs is Peter Altmaier, who incidentally, is also a fan of Tesla.

Speaking to the CEOs of VW and Mercedes he had this to say:

“I really wonder when you, Mr. Zetsche, or you, Mr. Diess, or Mr. Krüger of BMW will be able to get an electric car build, which is only half as sexy as one by Tesla. As far as the attractiveness of your e-cars is concerned, you could actually come up with some fresh ideas.”

so... are they waiting for more expensive stuff to burn down before issuing a statement or ordering some kind of recall for scty customers?

/edit: what do you think elon would rather have right now? the profits of one of those car companies or the affection of peter altmaier?

I don't think TSLA can afford a recall. Non-zero chance they literally tell customers to regularly spray the panels with water on hot days. Which would be absolutely amazing.

Tesla could sell automatic temperature-activated lawn sprinklers repurposed as solar panel fire prevention systems.

Germany welcoming a foreign corporation to invest in infrastructure in their country equals the demise of Germany's largest auto manufacturer?

Yeah, despacito is desperately reaching if he's got to dig up economic minister quotes to try and spin something as a positive amidst all the unbridled and ongoing Tesla disasters of late. We're rapidly approaching peak assclown.

He has to know that Musk is a fraud at this point.

Fukushima contaminated an entire prefecture in Japan, cost more than $100 Billion dollars, and led to the shutdown of ~50 reactors nationwide.

Tesla's solar panels caused a few fires. The problem is being resolved between the parties (ie. out of court), with the relationship likely to continue.

You have no sense of proportionality and are completely biased. You remind me of David Einhorn (ie. a loser with terrible performance resorting to dirty tactics in a desperate but ultimately doomed attempt to profit at the expense of others).

Ask VW. They want a stake in Tesla; not the other way around.

This is my favorite comparison of yours yet. Bravo.

despacito's friend: I was viciously assaulted and had my bones broken!
descpacito: You have no sense of proportionality. World War II killed 60 million people!

I also love the balls-out lie, "a few fires". A single company with 240 installations had 8 fires before they shut it down. That's not "a few" by any definition of the word. Now Amazon has come forward making 9 fires. This will necessarily be a fraction.

Like I said, rapidly approaching peak assclown.
You're right, I should be comparing the Tesla solar panel roof fires to Fukushima, and the Tesla autopilot decapitations to ISIS. Where is my sense of proportionality?

Shorting Tesla has been wonderfully profitable thanks to Elon Musk and no one else - the dirtiest and nastiest tactics done against Tesla, Musk does himself. As just one example, the loser and fraud strongarmed the board and lied to Tesla shareholders in order to bail out him and his cousins' failing Solarcity business (about to go bankrupt). And Tesla stock is now selling hard on the predictable outcome of that. Who needs Einhorn? Musk is the short's greatest friend.

See? This is exactly what I'm talking about JKC:

You're seeing it in action in the very post above you. A pure fake news rumor - a desperate pump as Tesla was selling hard on Walmart news - denied strongly, but the idea persists via the gullible assclowns like despacito, making a net stock positive out of pure fiction.

Do you ever read actual business news?

every time I see a Tesla malfunction video (cars exploding, random accelerations,etc.) it's the same reaction. WTF?

Is there anything worth reading in the last few pages? Despacito seems to have the place

Definitely just legal posturing to get larger settlement tho

We could also have a discussion about the slow and systematic destruction of the entire world by the plastic and fossil fuel industry?

Not here. This is a safe space for $TSLA shorts to harp on about every little thing that goes wrong at Tesla. As if starting a company (and inventing/deploying new technologies) is meant to be a simple, smooth, and problem-free process.

You're right, I am right. Solar and nuclear are substitutes, so the comparison is not only valid, but obvious. The consequences of nuclear failing are catastrophic. The consequences of solar panels failing is generally inconvenient, but not catastrophic (even at the local level) yet reading your posts you'd think solar was conducting a genocide.

BS. Doubt you have any skin in the game, but if you do your ridiculous over-confidence and lol logic mean your only hope would be to run hot.

Shoddy solar panel installation is a "new technology" now? You're a riot. Tesla has zero new technologies. Their sole "innovation" is to bring electric sports cars to market before they are economically viable, losing $27K per car of taxpayer and investor money doing so.

Solar is far worse than nuclear on every level (deaths, CO2 emissions, land usage, environmental damage, reliability, economics). That's an established fact.

But we're not even talking about that so you're either stupid or disingenuous comparing the two (I can't even tell any more). We're talking about solar roof fires as relates to Tesla as a business. The Walmart lawsuit exposes rank incompetence and further damages their (already failing and being shut down, deeply in debt) damaged Solarcity brand. We're here to trade, and this is a disaster for the stock and for Tesla shareholders, as evidenced by the Tesla selling it's created.

This is another dishonest red herring as I never mentioned my own trading.

You had a shot at Einhorn and I pointed out how it's Musk has been responsible for tanking Tesla with his loser-level incompetence and self/cousin bailout with Solarcity, to the great expense of Tesla shareholders as you're seeing right now and will continue to see. He's so incompetent and bad for Tesla that even his desperate obvious lies and pumps like autonomous 2020 robotaxis - his one skill along with money hustling - aren't keeping the stock up.

Agree on land usage and reliability. Latter is soluble.

Economics, depends, but already solar has lower LCOE than nuclear in some locations/scenarios (source: Lazards). The fact you've made a blanket statement on this, with no evidence or source, shows you do not have up to date info nor a nuanced understanding.

Please list source(s) on deaths, CO2 emissions, and environmental damage. (No, actually don't, because you obviously can't, as you're wrong about all three).

I understand the context and you're wrong. It's not a disaster for the stock. That's my point. You're blowing it way out of proportion (not a good thing to be doing if you're trying to trade and make $ ldo).

5-star back pedal.
