Their enterprise business took a hit when Hertz suddenly cancelled 20,000 of 100,000 cars they had originally ordered because cars needed repairs and customers didn't know how to drive them. True, shares popped 4.19% today. They need and should cut prices to sell more cars.

He's removing this from the Magnificent 7. It's fallen 16% year to date while all its peers have gained, especially Nvidia. Sales are flagging in China where a Chinese company is overtaking them. Meanwhile, US demand may be peaking. Also consider the declining value of their cards. The EV space is challenged unless Musk develops a battery that lasts twice as long as a gas car tank.

It will be the first Mag 7 stock to fall. CEO Musk is being petulant (again) by needing to own 25% of the company to run it.

Too expensive. Has never owned it and is very cautious over it. There will be much more EV competition in the coming 5 years. He may buy Tesla is they show consistently higher margins and better growth. He owns LNR and BMW instead.

Stock price has fallen recently with competition. Valuation very high, but very strong tech stack within business. Expecting strength of the business going forward. Excellent company overall. 

It's not just EVs, but also potentially financial services, ride-sharing, insurance and maybe a deal with China's BYD. An analyst just targeted $380 and it's possible.

Included in "Magnificent Seven". Believes currently trading at fair price. Better option that other names in sector. Expecting 31% EPS growth. Very high rate of innovation and strong business moat. Would buy on weakness if possible. 

He bought an initial position recently but is waiting now before buying more on a longer term basis. It needs to prove itself and move to the top end of its range. It had some good fundamental news recently

Sadly, he never bought it, a company that Elon Musk has done a good job of building. Every time he's looked at this, he can't accept the high PE. Also, the competition could catch up and take market share.

They need sales of their new car to push shares up.

Believes in it, but this is a cult of personality stock. Also, he worries about the car industry in this economy.

Riskier than the other megatech stocks, but it's shaken off its last quarter, which was not good.

It has been a tough year with cost over-runs along with having to reduce prices and therefore margins. The growth rate is slowing down. It expects to produce 1.8 million vehicles this year and could be falling behind other EV producers, There is intellectual value in their chargers as well as solar and battery technology, but most of their revenue today comes from their production of EV vehicles.

Very expensive valuation given fundamentals. However, growth in tech tree very strong. Good for long term investors if able to get it cheap.
