Alfred, you sound like a good guy, but on investments, I think you need to do some more homework.
I have been following Tesla for about 5 years now. Ever since it was a blip on the radar screen.
I believe Tesla COULD have a viable market share IF AND ONLY IF, they aquire a managment team who can sell a mass production product. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to even be close to the case.

You seem very "gun ho" to buy up as much Tesla stock as you can.
