    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Here's two points he made. 1)When you produce more than you sell plus more than you have orders for that's a demand problem. 2)When your sales &customer service is bad that devalues the brand.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    So is not having a garage irrelevant to a meaningful number of potential buyers? Seems to me getting out at night in the rain or freezing cold to plug into a charger would be a pita. My point is only that the addressable market is smaller if the supercharger network is not easily accessible...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable
