CNBC is doing anything to preserved their GM and Ford advertising dollars. It’s amazing how biased they are.

These guys talking about competition as if it'll impact Tesla - Ford and GM should be infinitely more worried about cannibalizing their existing profitable fleet vs. increase the pie Tesla has access to.

I love that Ford and others are finally getting on the ball. However, Ford Made in Mexico Mach E? Tesla 100% USA Made. There is no competition coming. There is a battle for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. Tesla can never have 100% of EV market. Others will fall in line. Tesla has Zero concerns. They have the best margins of any vehicle. Cash Return on Operating Assets is what you want to look at for a growing company. Clowns who havent learned from game changing companies of this past decade haha. Tax credits are part of the game and enable them to grow 50 to 100% year over year. 2025 Tesla will be selling more cars then Ford worldwide. Welcome to the future Ford.

Below are the sales number as of the end of April for the three notable EVs released this year. You can draw your own conclusions from the facts

Tesla Model Y - 100, 000 Sold
VW ID3 - 17, 000 Sold
Ford Mustang Mach-e - 8, 500 Sold

It’s funny how x-CEO of Ford from 2014-2017 didn’t know anything about EV and now he says competition is coming. I bet as other short seller has disappeared from CNBS, this guy will be history soon!!
And BTW, how he can’t understand other OEM paying Tesla to build factories and cars etc.

You guys @cnbc did a terrific job yesterday making the TSLA price drop. Why didn't you communicate any of the many good news?

Clown Bears have been saying demand is coming since Tesla IPO over 10 years ago lol

[HoneyJamTesla]

so basic arithmetic is not needed to become CEO of Ford? That explains a lot :D

[thomas]

The demand for tesla has never been higher so I'm not really sure how this competition is hurting them in anyway

[dertythegrower]

Why are people mad at Elon? He is just the newage pied piper.. all the kids follow his tune, no matter what the coolkids play, kids always follow (even manchilds with their money)

I want you to know that Jesus is real. He can heal the broken, repair what was lost, and so much more. God is not done with you. Don't give up on God because he's not giving up on you. He loves you more than you could imagine. Give all your pain to him and make him your Lord and savior. God bless.

Ex CEO. Ford is catching up to Tesla. Not the other way around. Should he be ashamed he didn’t see electrification was coming?

[QuietJugung]

There used to be Tesla killers. They have been downgraded to competitions.

[prestonlee]

The word competition is used so loosely in the EV market today. Instead of copying Tesla design and features, please explain how your car is more competitively advantageous than Tesla such as efficiency, battery technology, charging network, customer service, over the air update, autonomous driving, gigafactory plans, vertical integration, payment system for game /entertainment, etc. There are no cars that are compelling enough to compete with tesla right now. Right now F and GM both have enough cash to burn but for how long.. only time will tell..
