I mentioned large scale castings amongst other things; you and others called this particular point out and until now you haven't given one example.
But that's the thing, it isn't common with EV designer and mainstream manufacturers, is it? The only example we have had so far is about a 20k cars from an exotics manufacturer (Ferrari) that someone kindly contributed. If there are other examples then please elucidate.
I'm beginning to think you're trolling. Go and read what I said again, very slowly, and try to understand the point being made.But that's the thing, it isn't common with EV designer and mainstream manufacturers, is it?

I remember when Musk said the cars would be built by robots and you’d need high speed cameras or a strobe light to be able to watch them as they’d move so fast with no real limit on their speed

That one went well, everybody knew it wouldn’t except the faithful. They built a tent and used left over production equipment to make the model 3 and it went quicker.
Musk places a lot of big bets. Not that many actually pay off, of course they don’t need to in some ways for him to be successful but far too many people conveniently forget the failed ones.

I agree - he made the fundamental mistake of trying to automate everything and was laughed at and slated by everyone in the know (such as Sandy Munro).https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/27/elon-musk-robots-o...

Ok investment Gods, what's the play here and what are the consequences of a $20 billion stock dump?
Answers on a postcard......
If nothing else, his board must be facepalming hard right now. The SEC might have an opinion on that tweet.Answers on a postcard......
In other news, I see Apple have apparently hired Tesla's Autopilot head, which might be more material as a piece of news.

Do the SEC have a right to get involved? This is personal re his own stock. But I'm no expert on large quoted companies.

Pre-announcing you plan to sell 10% of your stock, when you're a large stock holder looks a lot like stock manipulation.In other news, I see Apple have apparently hired Tesla's Autopilot head, which might be more material as a piece of news.

But don’t many investors do exactly this? cf Branson announcing his intention to sell a lot of Virgin Galactic stock, as just one example I recall recently.
Depends on the time frame I guess, but since Musk has already had a run in with the SEC, they're likely to take a dim view of him ignoring their previous rulings. He has responsibilities due to his stock holding and position on the board of the company.Tuna said:

How do we know he hasn’t run this tweet past the relevant people per the SEC rulings?
He's not exactly known for even engaging a braincell, never mind consulting with other people before tweeting. At 7.15 on a Saturday evening, the odds don't look good, do they?
