I didn't know the ny times had a funnies section

I always wanted to start this thread were “non-Tesla Tesla” events are recorded. You know if Tesla was caught on fire, stock would be down 50 points and articles on cnbs abound. Or maybe if Tesla “drove” into the 7-Eleven because of AutoPilot - but really the driver mistook accelerator for...

Relative near Lake Jackson reported seeing TV ads warning against buying Tesla Powerwall. Anyone see these and know their origin? Also, can anyone comment on net metering, solar production charges, and rates in the Centerpoint delivery service area?

I haven't seen this article posted yet from Forbes. I just read it and to me appears quite bullish as by CY2022 it would put current valuations at roughly 1x Sales/10XEPS. Thought some of you longs might enjoy this given all the FUD out there. Also they have some really neat interactive charts...

Very well said. I couldn't agree more. So here is the "what's next?": Let's collect a few ideas here. Mods, pls. merge if you feel this is better placed elsewhere. In my experience countering FUD on Twitter / in Forums is only helping so much. What is helping more is pledging (and following...

Has anyone (in a thread here on TMC or anywhere else) kept a running, semi-detailed timeline of all the anti-Tesla FUD with each item followed by how it was proven utterly wrong? I'm getting so tired of trying to explain to people how things are actually AMAZING at Tesla, when all they are...

Collectively we often address writings that sow fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) about Tesla Motors in particular and the commercial viability of EVs in general. James and I are creating this new thread to provide a single place to shine some light on these articles. As always, comments about...

The article. . . An electric car in Michigan winter requires vigilance I don't know if this is a deliberate smear against electric cars, or if the author is truly ignorant of how they work. Does he own the car he was driving? Has he studied this at all? That he could write such a damning...

Since I've grown sick and tired of the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) continually appearing in the media about Tesla Motors or Elon himself, I'd like to suggest to collect and track FUD and related authors in a dedicated thread. In the short term, the thread could provide for a collecting...
