On today’s exciting episode of Quick Charge, we explore the Tesla Q4 earnings call’s high-level weirdness, including the impact Bitcoin had on the bottom line, what it means for stock prices, and whether or not you’ll die without Tesla’s solar roof.

This site has turned into an Elon/Tesla bashing site. I'm not the biggest Elon/Tesla fan but I cannot have the confidence that real reporting is happening when there is an obvious bias and agenda. It is just that I cannot know what is real and what isn't anymore.
Look, I am all about journalistic freedom and for the right to express an opinion and goodness knows that Elon and Tesla have many failings. But when every every effort, going well above and beyond, (with multiple articles per week being written) is being made by the journalistic entity to discredit, personally attack and highlight failings of a particular person and/or company, I'm going to start getting suspicious about the intent and journalistic integrity and whether there is a personal agenda or crusade.
I'm also going to start to wonder about whether what I'm reading is fact or fiction. It may well be true but I no longer know or trust the reportage.
What a pity.
You’ll also hear Jo ask, “What even is a P/E Ratio, and why does it matter?” before asking if we’ll all be killed without a solar roof, and learning about what happens when our phones run out of power. All this and more – enjoy!
