Having several fires and a good, albeit misinterpreted, financial quarter has placed this forum in a funk. Nobody got hurt in the fires, we probably should have had more by now. The stock has dipped, yet we're exceeding what Elon has guided us towards. As far as I reread these articles tonight, and some of my own blog posts, some of my favorites from the last year, nothing's changed. The company, and its story, keeps nailing big steps and getting better.

Ok, are we feeling some love again? Does this place have a little more cow bell? It should. Tesla's given us all the ingredients for it, let's get on the side of right and flip the narrative on this thing back where it belongs. It's been a rough week. Looking up.

Nice list! And good points too. We're getting hammered lately but let's keep perspective:

In spite of the fires we still have the safest car you can buy.
Having fires does not mean that you are less safe.
The stock is still four times higher than it was just one year ago. We were around $32. back then. We are at $135 on Friday.
Accidents at factories happen all the time.
The media makes their money by creating fear and exaggerating problems.

Remember:

Tesla is building more cars.
Demand is increasing.
The stock will rise as Tesla continues to do what they are doing.
Europe and Asia are just now getting their cars.
Everyone loves their car.
Reviewers love the car.
Tesla is way ahead of everyone else.
There is no one making anything like the Model S and there is nothing on the horizon saying that they will in the future either.

Just adding more cowbell, Cattledog. :)
 
Great summary. Thanks Cattledog.

Tesla is also is rapidly deploying new Superchargers, stores and service centers. No other automaker has any of these assets.

This extraordinarily valuable infrastructure is funded entirely from their cash flow (profits).
