I came here to see if my opinion was way off base in my thesis that most Tesla bulls opinions are severely distorted from Reality (hence name)@tesla people, this thread is a fantastic display of the trolling art. We are all trying to have logical conversations with people who aren't in the conversation for the purpose of argument, they are hear to get an emotional rise out of you. Coming to a Tesla fan site and being anti Tesla is the DEFINITION of troll.
Some may say they have valid points. Maybe, I would argue that many of the arguments are purposefully based in logical fallacies. If you see the need to respond, maybe a better approach would be linking to Thou shalt not commit logical fallacies Basically, anytime someone posts a obvious logical fallacies, just quote their post, and add a link to appropriate fallacy.
For example:
"Elon Musk isn't a business man, he doesn't know how to run a company, and therefore Tesla will fail" - Your logical fallacy is ad hominem
"So and So hedge fund manager or So and So investment bank said Tesla is failing, thus short the stock!" - Your logical fallacy is appeal to authority
You: "Shorts are using false information (cites sources) to artificially drag down positions so they can make money" Short: You are nothing but a fanboi, and this company is only based on fanbois." - Your logical fallacy is tu quoque
Just a few examples. But if you think it through, most are just that, fallacies. instead of engaging, just call out the fallacy. We are smart enough to see your argument once the fallacy is pointed out.
Cheers!
I cant possibly express how much this opinion has been confirmed
