They don’t want us to have our own cheap free energy.

Their Insurance and Powerwall divisions, have been losing money for a while now.

Waiting for the 5-10% jump on this headline.

Heard they are already replacing the batteries and they bricked them cause of fire concern due to faulty batteries from lg and samsung in old powerwall 2. They should properly communicate though

Musk desperately trying to f*ck up Powerwall like he has with Tesla EV’s…👌

The PowerWall was initially just a way to absorb the oversupply of NMC 18650 cells under the Panasonic contract, and not because NMC is a great choice for stationary storage. The fact that they switched to LFP in the PowerWall 3 should surprise no-one.

But they make up for it in volume. /s

I think this is more of a case of Hanlon's razor ... "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

I'm sure TSLA isn't slow walking the recall because their cash holdings are a mirage...

I've been saying this for a while, but this is a very costly issue, hundreds of millions costly, maybe $500mn. A lot of expensive batteries to replace and the labour costs of doing so and compensation.

And twitter

Common-Ad6470 2025-12-01 18:25

Very true.

PerfectPercentage69 2025-12-01 18:29

You joke, but it's true. The more they sell, the better the delivery numbers look which results in higher stock price.

Which is why they tried to hide it for so long. Waiting for the lawsuits from people who had their house burn down because Tesla didn't want to admit fault yet.

chrisjdel 2025-12-01 19:24

In the case of most of these billionaire tech bros, not to mention the whole Trump circus, you're dealing with both - malice **and** stupidity.

mrbuttsavage 2025-12-01 21:07

I was told both they were both worth trillions of dollars for Tesla.

icewalker2k 2025-12-01 23:26

No kidding right!?

I have batteries in the serial number prefixes that were recalled. I would really like to know the selection criteria on why some batteries were recalled, why some were not, and if it's possible more ranges of batteries will be pulled in over time. I would rather have them start replacing them now, but I also don't want my house to burn down so I have a horse in this race.

Elon‘s trading algos on AI-steroids will soon boost this to 8.5t$. Then he just has to sell 1 million toy robots and set the FSD price to 0.69$ sale price for life. Booom - Elon gets 1t$ worth of stocks by the end of the year.

The problem with Twitter is that many people stayed there. Or at least for those people I used to follow, most of them are still there.

Just avoid anything attached to Musk

tangouniform2020 2025-12-05 08:37

I don’t know, I’m no longer there

high-up-in-the-trees 2025-12-05 13:20

I mean technically I still have an account I just don't use it and haven't for most of this year now. I imagine a lot of people are the same. That's why the number is a useless metric but heavily crowed about by those trying to pour a bit of water on the dumpster fire of Twitter's downfall because it *looks* like it's not that bad, but unique user activity (as in not bots, not people running multiple accounts and not barely-veiled advertising) tells a very different story

Io ho mio Powerwall2 disabilitato da Tesla con un messagio sul app che dice ce mia batteria sara cambiata...5 mesi e ancora nessuna notizia da Tesla Italia. Forse serve una causa legale anche in Italia.
