With the high valuation of Tesla stock and continuing bad news, things could easily go the other way. That's what makes a market. Fun to see how this plays out, don't keep all your eggs in one basket!

does anyone actually listen to all the BS from the fiscal MUCK HANICS ? like barrons, motley', cnbc fortune et-al pot boiling time servers, why don't they go get a "propper- job" like selling horse racing tips
My broker is TD Ameritrade. I have a margin account but am not currently using margin. I spoke with two of their agents today, and they gave conflicting opinions regarding the possible lending of my shares to short sellers. The second agent got a third opinion from someone he believed to be more expert. Here is the result.
TD Ameritrade can lend a client’s shares to short sellers, if the client has a margin account and is using that margin. Nothing can be done or said by the client to prevent this, including the placement of a good-till-cancelled limit order to sell at a very high price.

Tesla: ‘No data to suggest’ Autopilot on in Pa. crash
Tesla: ‘No data to suggest’ Autopilot on in Pa. crash
The Palo Alto, California-based company said it has “no data to suggest that Autopilot was engaged at the time” of the July 1 crash involving two Michigan residents.
“Anytime there is a significant accident, Tesla receives a crash detection alert,” the company said in an email to The Detroit News. “As is our practice with all collisions, we immediately reached out to the customer to make sure he was safe. Until the customer responds, we are unable to further investigate.”

Yes. I agree. Tesla should not advertise in the main media. However, the consequences of that is a biased coverage of Tesla. Just goes with the territory. Recognizing this dynamic is important as an investor in order to rationalize the flow of information.
I am greatly enjoying the dialogue on short interest and the lending of Tesla shares to shorts. Looks like Fidelity and some other longs are benefiting from short interest and stock appreciation at the same time. If you have a Fidelity brokerage account, take a look at their analysis of Tesla stock - a highly biased negative analysis. I sent emails to Fidelity complaining of their unrealistic analysis. They responded that an outside contractor provides the analysis. A phony explanation since they get to chose the outside contractor. I think the negative analysis is to encourage shorts who are paying interest to Fidelity and who may also end up boosting Fidelity's Tesla holdings if there is a short squeeze.
Great news. Another FUD piece destroyed.
OK, media - what else you got?

Man... CNBC (on which Tesla does not advertise) is desperate to slam TSLA. This is nuts. Autopilot was not the cause of the crash.

More reassuring would be "data shows AutoPilot was never on. It was not deactivated when the owner sensed an impending crash and hit the brakes"
As I stated yesterday, it was in my view irresponsible for the officer to comment to a newspaper about the specifics of an accident before all of the data was compiled, and a final report was produced. (Assuming he ever did).
I still want to know why a Detroit based newspaper was the first and only newspaper to report on an accident that happened in Pennsylvania.

They have solar powered drone based Internet tech in development also. Could be they just want a captive audience Wales garden like apple and Amazon.
What do you think they're resting their position on? Perhaps the distinction is an accident caused by AP as opposed to an accident with AP turned on.
(Not to start a debate on whether AP caused the accident or not but I think it is Tesla's position that it did not - it worked as designed.)

Is it not also questionable for Tesla to comment before they begin their investigation? I agree with you regarding the officer saying things before investigation was complete, and I feel the same about Tesla.
