The reality is any other company coming out with the news on orders that Elon released would have gained back most of what it lost last Friday. As we all know, the challenge is with all the FUD, including form the likes of CNBC this a.m. (LeBeau was in rare form minimizing the 200,000 #), it is very hard for Tesla to gain its footing without news that cannot easily be refuted. The main challenge is likely that we have big auto/big oil $ being used to pressure the stock whenever it seems to gain some traction. Unlike the pure shorts and hedge funds, these folks likely do not care about taking some losses, as the key is to ensure that Tesla goes away at some point. The value in that far outweighs any temporary paper (or even real) losses. It still shocks me that the SEC does not look into the obvious manipulation that is present in Tesla stock - in particular the blatantly false stories that are distributed utilizing mainstream media.
