I wrote an article a few days ago about 7 things Tesla “couldn’t do,” according to top experts in the auto field. As it turns out, these are things Tesla actually went ahead and did, while blowing nonchalant kisses at the crowd.
Some other ideas for things “experts” were convinced Tesla couldn’t do have come to mind, so here’s a sequel to the article from the other day.
WARNING: This article is centered around faux distortions of positive Tesla news, like you might see from Seeking Alpha or Wall Street analysts. The point is to add context and perspective (after the faux distortions) to the kinds of reactions you might see on larger media sites like CNBC and Business Insider.
You may remember months earlier this year when the financial press and certain analysts obsessed over Tesla’s declining cash balance. Perhaps it was genuine, but my impression is it was “concern trolling,” faux hysteria, and even an attempt to confuse and manipulate the public in the worst cases.
This struck me yet again while looking at a chart that a CleanTechnica reader created and shared.
Tesla increases deliveries more than 100% quarter over quarter in Q3. Q3 deliveries totaled 55,840 Model 3, 14,470 Model S, and 13,190 Model X.
One of the things that irks me about supposed Tesla critics is that many of them pretend to be idiots and pretend that everyone else is an idiot.
But it’s actually not just about Tesla — it’s EV critics and concern trolls in general.
Last Wednesday, August 1, 2018, we got a ton of fresh information in the Tesla shareholder letter and conference call. The prediction of our financial model of the Tesla results, “Vijay’s SimTesla Game,” was right within a few million, after correcting for the ignored restructuring costs. That’s not because we got everything right, but because the mistakes cancelled each other out.
Tesla stock surges after the Saudi Arabia wealth fund makes substantial investment.
We’ve covered the wild world of Tesla short sellers for a while. When the most shorted company on the stock market is a major cleantech company, CleanTechnica just has to dig into this stuff. To much better understand what short sellers are, who shorts Tesla, what the Tesla short theses have been (yes, they change from time to time), and why we’ve largely thought that shorting Tesla is idiotic, check out the 11 stories linked at the bottom of this article.
Tesla has been in hell for the last year. Production hell, that is. The brutally long weeks and restless nights spent sleeping on the factory floor had taken a toll on Elon Musk and the team at Tesla, seemingly pushing him near the breaking point.
