Tesla should spend some effort to educate it's shareholder base. I invested in a company that every year the CEO together with the senior management team have a big meeting with shareholders. (In addition to the regular annual shareholder meeting).
The goal of that meeting is to educate the shareholders. During the meeting, they spend a lot of time candidly explain what they do, how they do it, and what to expect, the good, the bad, the long term, the short term. They want shareholders to really understand the company and to have the right expectations. They want to have the right shareholders, not to push the stock price. When I look at the stock, it has no volatility, it barely moves in months. I can guess the price correctly even if I haven't checked it for months. When I step back to look, the stock has gone up more than 1000 fold in 30 years.
Tesla attracted lots of inexperienced investors, and lots of leveraged gamblers, they become victims of the stock manipulators. When the manipulators make tons of profit, they are like shark found blood. I think educating the shareholders is very important. Good shareholder base is a valuable asset to the company. To be fair, Tesla has many intelligent investors too.
