Tesla trend or Tesla goal ??
continuous improvement
Downward trends on costs are often a result of this pursuit.
Wall St. hates Elon passing on cost reductions vs paying stockholders dividends.
Wall Street mentality wants Increased profits to go to stockholders - not reduced prices for customers.
EXPECT newer Tesla to be better and cheaper year after year after year.

Many just don't get it.
WHY would anyone in a capitalistic society want to improve a product IF they didn't need to?
WHY would any company in a capitalist country want to pass along savings vs increasing profits?
WHY do you think some people want to get rid of Elon as CEO? More profits for Wall St./stockholders - seriously? seems so
Improve design on each generation of product?
Wall St.: NO, don't waste money - increase profits.
Elon: Make compelling products and people will buy them. If you can't do that you deserve to go out of business.
Some suggest this is disruptive. You?
Some just call you a fanboy or part of the Tesla Cult (Lutz and Wall St. analyst love those terms)
