Model S Owner and Frustrated Tesla Fan
If you think about it, there's basically one major bear case to be made, which is "electric cars won't take over, people will keep driving gasoline cars", and that's the one which most of the total fools who are permabears are making. We know that's false; we know that electric cars are superior and will take over. But they are absolutely certain in their false belief that electric cars won't take over, and if they were right about that, then Tesla would indeed not do well.
I've been trying to simply filter out and ignore that group of people, because their bear argument is based on that one fundamental mistake and you can't even discuss it with them. It's harder to find a Tesla long-term bear with an argument which I can actually discuss (like "BYD will eat Tesla's lunch" or "The major carmakers will bother to build a Tesla-killer") and even harder to find one with an argument which has solid evidence for it.
