As promised in last week’s #Pravduh about #Tesla report, here is a breakdown of all the publishers we track and how their coverage has changed over the past 3 months. We were also planning to release a breakdown of the authors. However, since this article is already quite long, we decided to postpone that till next week.
Before we start, we would like to give a shout-out to Zac & Jesse from the YouTube channel “Now You Know” for mentioning our reports on their show. You guys are awesome!
Some might say this has been a slow news week for Tesla. There were only 122 articles this week and the average over the past 9 weeks is around 190. This slow news week, however, is quite artificial. It’s a choice, because there was plenty of news that the mainstream media just decided to not report at all or only briefly cover.
Sandy Munro and his team at Munro and Associates have been tearing cars down for decades. As legacy gas and diesel powertrains are being replaced by electrified versions and new electric car companies continue to sprout (seemingly every other day), Munro and Associates are putting their experience to work tearing down the latest and greatest electric cars.
A great deal of attention has been recently placed on the conflict between Elon Musk and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding certain tweets by the CEO of Tesla. What is not clear to many, however, is the extraordinary number of potential securities violations that are happening regularly with regards to Tesla’s stock (NASDAQ: TSLA) that are the work of individuals opposing Tesla’s success. It’s fair to say that a war is presently underway between Tesla and its enemies.
Last week included record-shattering production and delivery numbers from Tesla and thus a dramatic shift in the US automotive market. The American-made Model 3 became the 4th highest selling car in the United States and was for the second month in a row the highest grossing car in the United States. It was the only car in the top 7 produced by an American car company. Furthermore, the Model 3 totally demolished the competition in the luxury car market and Tesla as a whole was the top selling luxury vehicle brand in the country. The week also included an SEC lawsuit regarding some of Elon’s tweets and a settlement regarding that lawsuit. How did the headlines match up with that news and more? Read on to find out.
On September 17th, as a person living on Earth, I was so happy to see Yusaku Maezawa and Elon Musk announce they were sending artists to orbit the Moon via SpaceX’s BFR. It gave me hope that one day my family could go to space! A positive and uplifting message. Reality intruded and led me to anger and despair.
I was thrilled to be on Tesla’s quarterly conference call this past week, honored & humbled at the opportunity to bounce a series of questions and short comments off of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. However, Bloomberg’s Tom Randall recently scored an even more amazing opportunity, a full interview with Sir Elon. Below are 10 big highlights from that candid interview.
Michael Bloomberg, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Climate Action, announced on Sunday that his Bloomberg Philanthropies would contribute $4.5 million to the operations of the UN Climate Change Secretariat in an effort to ensure the United States will honor its Paris Climate Agreement.
Bloomberg recently reported on rumors that Renault and Nissan are in talks to come to a single stock notation on the exchanges. It would make things easier and create extra shareholder value. But it is not a goal, just a tool to reach their goal.
Bloomberg reports it is seeing a late surge in Tesla Model 3 production as we head into the final week of Q1. It now estimates Tesla is building well over 1,000 cars a week on the Model 3 assembly line.
