Trumpty trump has got Elmo by his plastic balls. Teslas supply chain must be up the wall right now.

Stock gonna rally 10% by end of day Friday!

MouseWithBanjo 2025-07-17 18:44

Probably nothing seems tariff is on raw material not finished goods

Elon logic: 1) Trump gives me benefits: I don't mind that he's a pedo actually 2) Trump and me fights/Tariffs me: He's a sick pedo! 3) Thai Rescuer: He's a pedo for sure, and that's cause he won't use a theoritical submarine of mines that doesn't actually exist

10-15% of batteries values come from Graphite apparently

MouseWithBanjo 2025-07-17 19:40

Yes but the inputs are not taxed the final product is.

Tesla Inc. and its key battery supplier, Japan’s Panasonic Inc., were among companies pushing to block the new tariffs, arguing that they rely on Chinese graphite imports because the domestic industry hasn’t developed enough to meet the quality standards and volume that the carmaker requires.

Ah I just read the OPs batteries coming from china and assumed he was referring to finished products

grifinmill 2025-07-17 20:06

It's just not EVs. Power tools, electronics, yard equipment, battery storage, etc. etc etc.

Tesla fanboys: it’s not a car company. They sell FSD in the cars they sell, that’s the real money maker. Me: how are they gonna sell FSD as an addon if they can’t sell cars? Tesla fanboys: …

Kulthos_X 2025-07-17 21:27

That would be a serious issue if anyone was buying their cars.

Potential4752 2025-07-17 21:56

It’s still the top selling EV.

Stock market manipulation.

Your dumb fuck CEO got people to vote for this

All the more batteries for the rest of us! Between regular price drops and a federal subsidy, home batteries are insanely cheap in Australia right now. Deals for Inverter + 50kWh of battery as low as AU$6100

Vegetable_Guest_8584 2025-07-18 00:20

Fortunately we have all these new plans to start making batteries in the US that are actually working.

Livinincrazytown 2025-07-18 00:30

Well then now he’s crossed a red line!

SaintBellyache 2025-07-18 00:36

First they came for…

L2moneybox 2025-07-18 00:48

It's not lol

FerragudoFred 2025-07-18 00:54

Trump is trying to kill EVs completely.

gwenver 2025-07-18 08:38

Yeh, but it's been legally proven that 'pedo' is a term of endearment in South Africa, so he should be fine.

gwenver 2025-07-18 08:40

I can see the US going kind of Mad Max with all portable tech converted to coal powered.

NotFromMilkyWay 2025-07-18 11:01

That's not true. For all previous tariffs the specific resources were taxed. And not the price of the final product.

Far-Fennel-3032 2025-07-18 12:00

Your thinking byd Tesla got dethroned earlier this year.

judgeysquirrel 2025-07-18 19:06

Coal powered toothbrushes would be something to see!

ryan_dfs 2025-07-19 17:38

And the stock will still rally to $400 because dumb money controls the market, risk assets continue to skyrocket daily, and we haven’t seen a meaningful drop in 3 years.
