My Tesla Earnings Per Share (EPS) Prediction For The 2nd Quarter Of 2018
I am making an earnings per share (EPS) prediction only for the Tesla automotive segment, excluding leasing, since I think Wall Street is way too negative on Tesla.

Peeking Behind Tesla’s Labor Curtain
In the last two articles (that I wrote exclusively for CleanTechnica), I explored Tesla’s break-even level and its cost of capital. On this occasion, I would like to explore Tesla’s cost of labor.
Peeking Behind Tesla’s Capital Curtain
During Tesla’s last conference call, concerning the first quarter of 2018, Mr. Deepak Ahuja, Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), while answering a question from Rod Lache, an analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., said: “Rod, we are very CapEx-efficient, overall. Let me just start from that point. And if we look at our depreciation costs on a per unit basis at steady run rate of 5,000 or so cars per week, we are in my mind well below most of our competitors – well below $2,000 per unit depreciation cost.”
Tesla Cutting Headcount 9% As Part Of Company-Wide Restructuring Plan
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced several weeks back that Tesla’s leadership was working on a restructuring plan that would flatten the company hierarchy in an attempt to make the overall company more efficient.

“Tesla bankwuptcy” would perhaps be better termed “shorts losing their shirts”
Spoiler: Business Insider Is An Outsider — #Pravduh
Business Insider decided to join the chorus of Tesla-bashing media. It did give the job to an excellent writer who had no idea what he was writing about, so it might have convinced others he was right who didn’t quite know what they were reading about. We can’t all be experts, but a real “insider” would not write this misinformed and misleading piece.
NYTimes Coverage Of Elon Musk Twitter Outburst Regurgitates What Pissed Him Off In The First…
I just published a long piece on why I think Tesla CEO Elon Musk was so wrong in his reactionary, broad-brushed response to certain media coverage. But as a great reminder of what has been raising his blood pressure for months or years, the NYTimes coverage regurgitated the narratives that have pushed Elon over the edge — without putting them in proper context.
