Just wanted to say Thank You for all your efforts on Twitter in the last few hours to fight FUD with facts @SPadival . Very commendable effort and sincerely appreciated.

Thanks for the "call out" of "fake news" or "strong arm tactics" or FearUncertaintyAndDoubt or what ever we call this
And why is it that many don't trust the main stream press ??
I'm guessing they better get the Internet under control soon, or no one will believe them.
Feds and even States (see California) are trying to give corporations more control over what you can see and read about on the Net.

I've given three test rides today in my model 3. I haven't taken ANYONE for a ride that doesn't want one.
Soon the number of owner opinions will far outweigh whatever the press has to say, negative or positive,
and the free market will take it's course.

Similar... I think I signed up yesterday or early today and have been reading since... Lots of good stuff!
Anyone else following this real time? Could we see a Jim Chanos subpoena any day now?

I'll be giving 3 test rides this weekend, one to a new neighbor who has a BMW 3-series, and told me about how there is some lag time when he hits the accelerator. I can't wait to say "now put your head back … "

FWIW: It’s quite possible that the German ownership of BI is quite happy with the attacks on Tesla (German economy is very heavily dependent on the auto industry)
Also, a key module used by BMW for their advanced cruise control has been in short supply since their supplier’s plant burnt down. I heard that from a BMW dealer last month.
To your point, no article on that....
I have an E-Class Diesel. The lag time is so bad it's unsafe. Imagine you want to overtakes a car and it takes a second before accelleration. I'm at the point where I almost never overtake others because it's unsafe.I'll be giving 3 test rides this weekend, one to a new neighbor who has a BMW 3-series, and told me about how there is some lag time when he hits the accelerator.

I'm not even sure if it's the technology (turbo lag) of if they do this on purpose. My other car is of similar weight but half the power and doesn't have this annoying behaviour.
That’s due to turbo lag. Depending on the year of the car, the boost control system could need maintenance. Lots of info on the Mercedes diesel forums.
But yeah, to that first ride in a Tesla is like your first ride on one of those magnetic propulsion rollercoasters. Most people have never experienced instant torque and acceleration in an automobile, so it’s a memorable and eye-opening experience. The driving experience sells itself; all that’s needed is a test drive/ride.
Yep. But I hope something even better happens - some big hedge fund managers who followed Chanos into the short trade, listens to the podcast & go “WTF!! Why am I following Chanos??”
And thanks everyone. It was a team effort.
Good work @SPadival and others. Tip of the hat (multiple tips) if you can connect the bread crumbs to Chanos. The effort to root out NDA violators/poor 'journalist' and the people who pay them is noble and needed.

Elon Musk said, "I don't care."
Because he concentrates on the products the company makes instead.
Most CEO's would not start a car company or tell the thiefs at wall street to go jump in a lake.
Most CEO's are concerned with "shareholder Value" or how high Goldman Sachs say they should jump.
It is amazing we have a CEO who is focused on delivering a superior product and not pleasing the puppet masters.

The interesting aspect to #crookedchanos is that, for him, this really isn’t about money. Sure, his firm has a short position on TSLA but it’s relatively small compared to the larger firms. For him, it’s his reputation he’s protecting. That is why Tesla HAS to be a bad investment, because he sais it was, multiple multiple times. If Tesla succeeds that means Chanos was wrong and shorts and hedge firms won’t follow his advice any more. The pressure on him to be right is enormous, which is why he’s gotten more desperate with influence Lopez. Now of course there will be no direct evidence FYI g him to that dirty work, but the connection is obvious. In my mind, this situation is similar to the downfall of Elizabeth whatshername at Theranos Pharma. The pressure on her to succeed and become the Valley’s first female billionaire founder was enormous. At first her aims were true but then she strayed, them lied, and then lied to cover the first lie, and then it spiraled to all out fraud. The same thing is happening here. First Chanos made a bet on Solar City, that went bust so he doubled down on Tesla.
This will all unravel for him when: 1) the tens of thousands of new Model 3 owners start raving about their new car and the volume of +1s are so high they can’t be ignored, 2) mainstream media moves on to the next crisis worthy of click bait revenue and the Tesla drama has run its course, 3) Tesla’s lawsuit against Tripp and related discovery starts to show the truth, 4) Tesla becomes profitable in 3Q and therefore not beholden to capital markets, and 5) hedge funds realize Chanos was wrong and start to unwind their short positions before their losses get worse.
Good to see that the media is picking up on what they read here:
(...) Chanos figures prominently in Matt Taibbi’s 2014 book, The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap. A recent series of posts on the Tesla Motors Club forum argues that Chanos and other shorts are following a tried-and-true playbook that they’ve used to attack other companies in the past. (...)
It would be helpful to shed more light on the connection and the playbook they are following to make the public aware about a huge orchestrated big dollar attempt to bring a company down because of greed by using misinformation and misleading of the public opinion beside other fishy if not illegal technics.

The viewership must be off the charts as Elon liked/retweeted that CleanTechnica article.
Elon is his own media empire. He does not need the mainstream media. They need him to get the clicks in !! What he needs is publications/podcats like CleanTechnica, Hyperchange TV, TeslaDaily etc. (and TMC of course!) who are honest and make their biases known to the audience.
IMHO, shorts picked the wrong billionaire to go after (with assistance from click bait media). Some are still hopeful though.
