How TSLAQ Got Played In China

7 years Johnna Crider 0 Comments

TSLAQ got played in China. It seems that the forces against Tesla are not that brilliant after all. Not only do they believe the lies they make up (never advisable), but they are apparently just gullible when it comes to anything potentially negative about Tesla. All one has to do is create a new Twitter account and tweet anti-Tesla stuff and they are in. Our favorite Tesla Gigafisherman, Chao Zhou, put this theory to the test — although, he may have done so without knowing it.

Tesla Bulls Warned Tesla Shorts — 5 Key Warnings

7 years Z. S. 0 Comments

As you may have seen, Tesla recently showed another quarterly profit, which apparently shocked the market enough that the Tesla [TSLA] stock price shot up. I don’t follow the stock closely, but I am a shareholder and find the whole “Tesla bull vs Tesla short” debate quite fascinating. I’ve had several thoughts on the stock and these different investment communities in the past week, but the one that shot to the front most quickly and strongly was simple: TSLA bulls warned the TSLA shorts.

MarketWatch: Tesla’s Road Gets Easier From Here

In an article published by MarketWatch, the author believes that Tesla’s road will be easier from here. This verdict rides on the heels of Wednesday’s market close, in which Tesla reported $150 million in profits in the third quarter of 2019. Analysts were confident that Tesla would be reporting losses. In fact, many critics/short sellers who think Tesla is an imminent failure considered the quarter to perhaps be the beginning of the end, the last nail in the coffin. (It’s Halloween season, we need some seasonal metaphors).

Another Tesla Conference Call, Time For Critics To Move The Goal Posts

Tesla critics and short sellers have moved a lot of goal posts. I recently highlighted this a bit with the articles “7 Things Tesla Couldn’t Do” and “7 More Things Tesla Couldn’t Achieve,” and have done so much more in our long-running “Tesla Flashbacks” series. Twitter user “The Short Shorts Historian”/@TeslaHistorian recently tackled this matter using another format — a timeline.

7 More Things Tesla “Couldn’t” Achieve

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.

7 Things Tesla Couldn’t Do

One year ago this week, I published a story about 8 “impossible” goals that Tesla had achieved. The idea actually stemmed from a simple joke I sent Elon Musk. I thought that was so funny (the joke somewhat, sending it to Elon Musk more so) that it inspired a full article. In fact, it and a few other pieces inspired a whole “Tesla flashbacks” series. The fact is, on any given day, there are various “concerns” about Tesla’s future from Tesla short sellers and other people who benefit if Tesla fails, but when you look back on those after a year or more, it’s clear they were typically nonsense that didn’t warrant a minute of anyone’s time.

Tesla Gigafactory China: Mud, “Basically An Open Field,” Not Gonna Happen — Skeptical Claims Revisited

We reported yesterday that Tesla was ending Model 3 Standard Range shipments from the US to China because it was starting to produce the base Model 3 trim in its new (and still under construction) Shanghai gigafactory, “Gigafactory 3.” It may surprise even Tesla optimists that the company was able to go from no construction at all to Model 3 production in such a rapid time, but it surely surprises Tesla skeptics the most.
