Brilliant Or Bonehead? Tesla Brings Back Unlimited Charging To Move Inventory
After moving away from its free Supercharging model due to sustainability concerns, Tesla is now again bringing back free Unlimited Supercharging as a way to sell some inventory cars after the upgraded drivetrain.

For the first few years of the Model S and Model X program, unlimited free Supercharging has been one of the top perks that Tesla was offering to its customers.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the perk wasn’t sustainable and he even admitted that they should have ended the incentive earlier:

Neither. It is desperation. Tesla stock down to $192/share and sinking.

...like a deflating ballon...tssssssssssss!

Free Supercharger = "Discount" = the last ditch effort for companies trying to juice sales.

Cheap financing/leasing/insurance is another trick (Yup- TSLA does that too!).

Another sign of frantic cost-cutting to "improve" margins = Scale back the "sales force" (Yup - TSLA did that by closing the retail stores they could close [wanted to close them all but were on the hook for the leases] and firing the sales people). This is an especially stupid thing to do because it is when sales are "soft" that the sales force really earns their money.

IMO Tesla sales would not be 1/2 as bad as they are if TSLA still had the sales force out there.

Supercharger access would mean nothing to me on a day to day basis. I rarely travel more than 75 miles from home, and there's no supercharger anywhere near where I live. For people like me it doesn't amount to much. If I needed to travel between Seattle and Spokane on even an irregular basis, then I could make use of it. But I have no need for that drive.

Tesla stock shares are shedding big dollars like the lying TV diet plan ads shed pounds.

It's only a matter of time before Tesla is out of business. Woe to those who need service and support. Maybe they'll sell off the Superchargers to one of the big German outfits like VAG.

Tesla stock will open at $1.84/share. Big red flag this morning is that accounts payable took a very large drop. This does not happen in a growth company as it is indicative of slowing production or suppliers putting caps on credit.

Payables were very large. They could have used some of the funds they raised to pay them down to something more reasonable.

Does not happen in a growth company and it lays bare the explanation that the rapidly growing inventory is for export.
And I assure you that suppliers are growing concerned about their accounts receivable from Tesla given their worsening financial position. It would be prudent to reduce their credit limit and terms.
