It must have been hard for the anti-Tesla crowd when Tesla didn't go bankrupt like they crowed about for years.
- Multiple capital raises so Tesla can retire any debt. They have something like ~$20B in cash-equivalent available.
- TSLA got added to the S&P.
- Building and selling lots of vehicles. Anticipate 50% increase in vehicle for this year, while competitors had lost money in 2020.
- ~150k Model Ys built and sold in the US in first year of production. Shanghai started building and selling MYs in 2021.
- Two new factories about to come online.
The anti-Tesla crowd's last hope is that Tesla will get goaded into relelasing FSDbeta early and some people will get hurt generating ample bad press. Unfortunately for them, safety is paramount at Tesla and their vehicles are very robust. Also, Tesla is going to make drivers be responsible and pay attention as well (oh no, it's only L2!
).
