Full disclosure: I’m a Tesla shareholder, and I did not feel misled by Tesla statements regarding Model 3 production, so I did not think a class-action lawsuit against Tesla on that topic made sense.
This may be the biggest year of growth from one company in the history of the auto industry.
Thousands or tens of thousands of Tesla Model 3 buyers got their cars sooner than originally expected.
In an interview with Axios, Elon Musk talked about the Tesla Model 3, AI, human brain to computer interlinks, and living on Mars. Here are the highlights of that discusssion.
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.
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.
As many an astute reader of Pravduh has noticed, the explicit or implicit smear campaign against Tesla has shifted over the years. From the Model S to the Model 3’s arrival, much of the attack was focused on Tesla’s ability to produce cars and Tesla’s financing. While that fun nonsense hasn’t gone away, this year has seen a strong rise in attacks on Elon.
One of the most bewildering criticisms of Tesla that I routinely see is that it can’t mass produce cars. A common variation of that is that Tesla can’t quickly ramp up production. I find both criticisms a bit absurd. They are based on limited thinking and a warped grading system. We’ve explained some of the reasons why in other pieces.
Elon Musk says the company has gone from production hell to delivery hell with its Model 3 electric car, but promises a quick solution.
Anecdotes are anecdotes. I don’t have a Tesla spreadsheet in front of me showing definitively showing that demand and deliveries of the company’s Model 3 electric sedan are spiking. However, I’ve collected information from a few sources in the past week that indicate there has been a steep rise in both.
