Major media outlets have let me down in the past. Their coverage of global warming in minuscule, horrid, and an outright disservice to the human species. Their coverage of the last US presidential race was absurd and completely derelict in its level of counterproductive noise. But I think their coverage of Tesla this year, and especially since CEO & Chairman Elon Musk tweeted about a desire to take Tesla private, has disappointed me more than any other media coverage in my lifetime.

Pros & Cons Of Tesla Going Private — #TeslaPrivate

Since Tesla CEO & Chairman Elon Musk tweeted out a note that he was “considering” taking Tesla private, my mind has been racing through the pros and cons of such a change. Add me to the thousands or millions of others in this same boat. While we’ve hosted many an interesting discussion about the pros and cons, however, we haven’t actually published an attempt at a comprehensive summary of these pros and cons.

Splitting Tesla, Transitioning Shares, Updating The Board — #TeslaPrivate Possibilities

Today’s blog post from Tesla CEO & Chairman Elon Musk confirmed my WAG about the cost of going private. It is somewhere between $0 and $24 billion. For both amounts, Elon can get the funding secured.

Model 3 Is Tesla’s “Get Out Of Jail Free” Card — #TeslaPrivate

For 15 years, Tesla has been prisoner of The Secret Tesla Master Plan. It called for the development of a number of products and the acceleration of the world’s transition to renewable energy. To achieve those goals, Tesla was forced to travel from milestone to milestone, with a pause to recuperate and then get back to the maximum speed its financial resources would allow.

Elon Musk Should NOT Recuse Himself — #TeslaPrivate

While this article waited for the editor to come along and publish it, the world changed. Elon published on August 13, 2018, a new blog post explaining his actions on and before the 7th of August, when he tweeted about taking Tesla private at $420 and sent a letter to Tesla’s employees.

I leave the original article as written, and add an addendum with the consequences of these new revelations.

What Could Tesla Be Worth In 10 Years?

The cleantech/tech/stock/business news of the week this past week was more obvious than an elephant sitting on a golf cart — Elon Musk may take Tesla private.

It has stunned the world, and the response from the financial press has been embarrassing — to put it nicely.

One matter very frequently ignored is what an exclusive share in private Tesla should be worth. This is different from what a share in public TSLA is worth right now or should be worth right now.
