I watched it. To his credit, the producer of the video disclosed he was a bear and I was pleasantly surprised how much time he gave Gerber and ARK. Pretty even-keeled and non-hysterical for a bear-produced video, which will make it more believable to intelligent consumers who don't follow EVs like we do. I feel they captured the general bear v. bull argument effectively.
Basically, the whole thing was a hit piece on Elon interspersed with some valid-sounding arguments on both sides. Sure, there have been some mistakes made, especially on Elon's Twitter (we can all admit this, right?). As a bull, I can't say for certain if the Solar City acquisition was a good idea or not. I don't think that story is finished yet, but the filmmaker spends a lot of time characterizing it as a bad idea and dissing Tesla Energy for not having a solar roof widely available yet.
There was virtually no mention of just how wrong the bears have been for the last decade. Elon's tardiness on reaching goals hides the fact that he eventually gets there and does so far ahead of the competition. The conclusion was that everything comes down to who is right about Elon- the bears or bulls. This is wrong. It's going to come down to 1. Will consumers love the cars enough to buy them and 2. Can Tesla sell them profitably. The filmmaker didn't even give his impressions of the car.
Other observations:
- No mentions of OTA updates or lack of competition. What about the actual cars? Do people like them?
-Linette Lopez and that Montana Skeptic guy were really granted victim status with Elon as the bully.
- Speigell and Gerber both looked pompous, obsessed, and blinded by their bias. Wood looked smart. Tesla Charts is a loon.
-The idea that TSLAQ is providing a service to humankind rather than just trying to make a buck is laughable but the filmmaker made those guys look like social workers or something.
- It's worth watching. It'll leave you saying "Wait, what about..." and "Are you even going to mention..." quite often. A good insight into the bear mentality. They are focused on Elon and ignoring the growing number of awed consumers.
