Usual suspects on here regurgitating the day’s negative headlines and pointing out the trees in the forest that they either refuse to see or cant’t see. Can’t say I’ve ever bothered to post relentlessly about a stock I don’t own on an internet message board, but some folks seem to be obsessed with this company and its CEO despite having no skin in the game. Free country, but it does beg the question, why is it so important for some to see this company fail/ Why do they feel the need to rail against it constantly? Just remember these same folks have been wrong about Tesla for over a decade now and have been spewing the same doomsday prophesies every step of the way.
Tesla can’t make a compelling EV that people will want.
Tesla can’t mass produce EVs.
Tesla can’t mass produce EVs profitably.
Teslas catch fire and are poorly built.
Tesla is only a car company.
The competition will crush Tesla in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025
The Cybertruck will never get built.
Nobody will pay good money for the CT.
Sales in Country X were down XX% for the month of XXXXXX, Tesla demand has collapsed and the company is doomed.
Tesla can’t make an appealing EV for less than $80k, $70k, $60k, $55k, $50k, $45k, $40k
Tesla is a technology company with expertise in manufacturing, software, energy storage, AI, robotics, and computing. Not everything they say will happen will happen. Much of what they say will happen will be delayed. However, in the end, they will succeed on multiple fronts. Those focusing on the quarterly results or the setbacks are missing the big picture of what Tesla has been able to accomplish where others have failed and what they are positioned to do going forward on a time scale of years. I heard all the same noise on this thread for years now. I held during a bull market while Tesla traded sideways or worse from 2013-2019. Six long years, but held, not out of some blind faith, but secure knowing Tesla was executing on their vision regardless of wether the stock price reflected their progress or not. I anticipate the period of 2022 - 2025 will be a similar period, where the stock price does not reflect the progress of the company because WS only cares about quarterly earnings and fails to see the level and speed of the coming disruption.
