Wow! What a performance from Tesla in Q4. The outcome was absolutely bullish as the stock soared to nearly $650 in after hours trading. It closed around $580. Beating expectations by 24%.

Tesla stock is looking to have a big day following a profit report.

The wait is over. Earnings is here. Will Tesla be profitable? Honestly a straight up golden question. They have been inconsistent on this end but their share price has seen incredible growth in Q4. Earnings will definitely be interesting.

We are officially a week out from Tesla’s (TSLA) earnings call. The company has long been known to not yet be profitable. With the recent soaring of their stock price, Tesla’s earnings could be a little different for Q4. Will the Tesla stock skydive to the rating average price of $370, or will it skyrocket to its most absurd price target of $6,000?

In after hours trading on January 21st, 2020, Tesla became the first US publicly traded company with a valuation worth $100 Billion USD. Tesla's stock (NYSE: TSLA) surged 7% to a new all time high north of $555/share.

Tesla stock has been flirting with $500 per share. Will it end the day above that milestone today?

Another maker unveils another battery electric vehicle, their first we’ve been waiting for, for years, and with no more excuses of expensive batteries and paltry ranges while Tesla escalates theirs, we’re once again disappointed. This time it’s Mazda. I explain.

It’s 2020, and we are back to the fate of Cadillac’s flagship, the CT6, and if its Cadillac sourced power plant, the now legendary Blackwing can also be spared from the chopping block. Sure enough in GM fashion, the engine doesn’t fit in any other Cadillacs. This is problem over at GM they also have with electromobility. I explain.

Elon Musk once planned to cash out Tesla investors at $420 per share. Those were gloomy times. Today, the future looks much brighter.

Tesla stock is approaching its all-time high. Here's why selling may make sense.

If you want to look at the 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody that you dream of buying, you can now do so on the Dodge website.

There are still no details on the mysterious Dodge Challenger that we saw last week, but the Mopar muscle car teased today by FCA appears to be a beast on the drag strip.

To celebrate the success of the Dodge Power Dollars sales promotion, the high performance brand will give away five 2020 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeyes over the course of the next five weeks and all you have to do to win is answer trivia questions.

Even though there is no official sign that Dodge is working on a Charger with 797 horsepower, the Hellcat Redeye sedan is the most commonly asked-about vehicle in the social media community.

With problems that require major reworks at other Ford plants after 2020 Explorers have been built, the launch of the totally redesigned SUV is not going well, at all.

Kenzie Peterson has only been to the track three times, but she has already set a quarter mile world record with her 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320.

EDIT 5/27/19- Fiat Chrysler submits formal merger proposals to both boards of directors of FCA and Renault in a 50/50 acquisition. Both companies want to consolidate. The fact is that they really can benefit from each other, so as long as it isn’t about another LeCar econobox or Alliance compact!

Off to the Electric Chair! Unlike other legacy car companies with their so called 5 and 10 year plans toward electrification, this is how I know VW Group is pretty damn serious about meaning what it says about an electric future. Its lead luxury brand Audi plans on electrifying or eliminating some of its iconic signature vehicles way sooner, and in doing so, it’ll send a shakeup message to the luxury car market that electric cars are now the new marque to be judged.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: It hasn’t been a week since the Tesla Y unveil at the Design Studio and the Tesla Fan Base and media alike are now speculating what the already iconic pickup truck will shape out to be. So over Model Y and it’s ho hum, the excitement energy is already now building for Model U.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: The Eve of the Ides of March like the Model Y unveil at the Tesla Design Studio came like the new car itself and went like any other event without much fanfare. Both are no frills or gimmicks, the most practical you can get in a car and an event, neither didn’t take much money to make, and in the car’s case it has the potential to outsell it’s siblings combined.

Public charging, replacing, and upgrading an ion battery to a BEV apparently got a little easier and maybe even cheaper to do when two startups recently announced they inked a deal to combine their services onto one menu. Fenix Power and ChargeShare, two young companies worth keeping an eye on, are looking to make BEV ownership easier, cheaper, more accessible, and convenient, and believe they’ve found a way to bridge both the new sales and after market parts arenas in the BEV industry.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: I continue the miniseries of stories of “Life after Leaf” in this beginning of the post-hybrid age when we are now getting over PHEVs and short range BEVs like Nissan Leaf, and taking a more serious look at new BEVs now that they’re more car and charging choices, better battery ranges, and cheaper prices. One option coming soon is a BEV CUV that’ll compete with the Hyundai/Kia SUV electrics. Here’s the unveiling of the smaller Model Y.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: I hope this is about as mad as the mad doctor can be, signing a pact with the almost-devil of the car industry right before industrial birth of start up production. I guess he’ll be the industrial obstetrician. I hope the car baby ain’t no Rosemary’s. Dr. Scaringe is looking to make a deal with a devil who has more money than God. Jeff Besos of Amazon is in with this. What a strange three way this could be. I cringe: gee Doctor: will it be good for you too?

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: I wonder if the people who are caught red handed being “distracted while AutoPilot” realize how lucky they are they got away with their crime. Unlike the people who I last wrote about who face the wrath of the NTSB and the courts for their tort who proclaim “my Tesla did it, not me,” “driving distracted while AutoPilot” is a crime of reckless endangerment, and most are getting away with it without realizing it.

By selling the entire model range in three categories, Tesla Corporation makes each car more cheaply, and simplifies discerning which car is which. If you want “Ludicrous,” which now comes in a separate upgrade package at a $20,000 premium, no more looking at old school Bentley-like badges to see battery energy capacity, you just look for “Performance.” This also helps with pricing and sales: by having cheaper Base Models S and X, Tesla is getting ready to sell Base Model 3.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: One of the worse things a driver can do in a late model car engaged in an accident is to fib or outright lie. You see, whether you realize it, their car may help you, but your car is going to make it really easy to tell your side of the story, with data and soon even images, sooner than later, and regardless of what kind of shape the car is in, and whether for your benefit or not. Your car always telling the truth, is one thing! Getting on the same page with you, is another.
