Yeah, but Dodger would argue with him the whole time?
Hahaha, no.
What Elon really needs to do imo is to get his
VISION in front of people's eyes. Most folks can not visualize exponential growth, simply because they haven't had a real world experience where they witnessed it happening. To make it real, first you need to see the plan.
So, to make the message (and Tesla's future growth trajectory) even in the realm of
POSSILBILITY for most people (yes, including Wall St. Analysts), they need to see an
EXAMPLE. Find one from history, and tell that story. Story-telling is a powerful technique for persuasion. It's how we Genus Homo evolved, by talking story around the campfire at night, while the wolves were kept at bay by the flames and our voices.
THEN, tell a new story using a parallel narrative for a new history, a tale about how Tesla grew battery production. Tell it from the future point of view, looking back and focusing on the reasons for the success story. Make it
EPIC. Legendary.
It's so obvious, it now begs doing. How did humans conquer new regions and spread across the World? By building new villages at the edges of their old territory. More territory, more villages can be built at the same time. Whenever growth bumped up against a natural limit (ie: grasslands, boreal forest), humans invented new technology (agriculture, animal skin tents / herding). Then we spread the new tech to others, and our growth continued.
It's how we roll, it's how we've always done it. We're bumping up against new limits (climate, labor), so now we need to adapt, invent, and overcome. Just way faster this time!
Ceres!
