And don't forget all the "Tesla will have to dilute shares to pay for it" headlines.
Then....
-when that doesn't happen (heck even is it does happen) the endless headlines of bankruptcy.
-it will never be built
-there is too much demand
-can not be mass produced
-there is not enough demand
-the lower cost version is a money loser
-demand is drying up
-they can't do the truck and ramp Y (this is next in the 3 story after Y announcement)
(return to first line and repeat)
The stock will go up and down around $100 each announcement even tho everyone has heard the false stories before. Hopefully it will put use at a new level of $350 being our new bottom.
Did I miss any swing trade moments?
Who says any of these things, "It will never be built"???
I think Tesla has a rough road ahead, but I haven't seen anyone forecasting bankruptcy. I've never seen anyone saying "it" can't be mass produced. "too little demand"/"too much demand"... You seem like you are being silly about all this.
The track record is for schedules to be optimistic, so maybe it will be in volume production in the fall of 2020 and maybe winter or maybe 2021. While it is certainly a possibility there is no reason at all to expect it to be on time.
They are pricing the model Y higher than the 3. I don't see a reason why it needs to be more expensive other than they need to be sure to make enough money on it whereas with the model 3 they announced the $35,000 price long in advance, before they really knew what to expect.
I think the model Y will sell better than the 3, at least at the time it is released. The one criticism I've heard about the 3 from an owner was that the truck is too short to be very useful. A hatch back (which is really what the model Y is) was the right way to go. They should have made the Y first and maybe skipped the 3.
If they can talk Musk out of the goofy look for the pickup, it may do well. Tesla may survive long enough to make all this happen.
I've worked in the semiconductor industry for a long time and I've seen a lot of seemingly stable, big players go under and be bought. Even in the auto business we've seen large companies get bought and sold. Tesla won't succeed automatically. There are a lot of things they need to do right and while early success is good, it is not the same as success in the long haul.
