40 point drop into 2016. Raise your hand if you saw this coming. I sure didn't. The oil story is lame and dated. People expected oil to test this level for months. Let me guess, now that we have cheap gas people are abandoning their Tesla purchase plans.
I didn't foresee the 40 point drop this year, but it doesn't surprise me either. There is still a lot of skepticism in the general public about Tesla, and EVs in general, but that's par for the course with any shift in any major system. TSLA has fluctuated between 180 and 280 for much of the past 2 years, sometimes with rapid and unpredictable movement.
Promise?
I have to say that I've thought about spending less time here (although I wouldn't leave for good like tftf says they will). Emotions are clearly getting the better of people, regardless of whether they are ultra-bulls or trolls, and it's unpleasant having to scroll through pages and pages of stuff that ranges from unreasonable to angry to bs. I think it would do people a lot of good to read stuff in other sub-forums, like Model X. Look at the pics of deliveries. Read what people say (good and bad) about the new product. What goes on at the ground level is a hint of what's going to happen.
It's also nice to see the results of all the hard work: a product that actually got to the hands of a customer. That is what will ultimately drive stock price.
