Most often a broker will have forced closed your position by then. Like if you started with $100k, you might end up with negative a few thousand but probably end up with a few hundred in the positive. Brokers try not to let it get out of hand.

Meh. I told everyone I know multiple times over the last eight years to buy TSLA. If they failed to follow my advice, too bad, so sad, they just going to have to put up with my happy dance.
Fortunately, some did buy TSLA and are quite happy, most have kept an eye on the share price, and all are currently fine with my ‘Did you see the SP today?’ and have been gracious in their congratulations.
Surround yourself with positive people, who are on your side, and all will rejoice in each other’s good fortune.
I’ve also started getting adoption requests.
It's getting to be a little cliché to warn you 5 minutes after the post that it hasn't aged well... but...

Or don’t have margin on your account. Your shares cannot be loaned without a margin account$39. That's to ensure my TSLA shares earn at least a small profit. Please don't say that makes me a weak long.
OK, that's impossible or I would have been cashed out shortly after purchase.
In reality I keep raising my stop limit to slightly less than double the current price. My broker says that is sufficient to prevent my shares from being lent to short sellers. Others here may want to do the same, although some brokers may require a tighter stop.
Your main point of little overlap between EV and ICE drivetrains is surely true.
Your second suggesting Sony knows more about EV battery setup than ICE companies seems unfounded.
"Sony Corporation manufactures audio, home video game consoles, communications, key device, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. The Company's other businesses include music, pictures, computer entertainment, and online businesses."
Sony and Panasonic compete in several markets but battery cell and EV drivetrains aren't one of them.
Sony is entertaining the notion of coming out with an EV because they are even more clueless about how difficult that is than Audi and other ICE vehicle makers.

Bored of the 490's now, get on with it!
Meanwhile, Bob Lutz comes on-board
Ex-GM executive Bob Lutz finally has something encouraging to say about Elon Musk and Tesla
“He has been quite adept,” Lutz said. “The encouraging thing to me about Tesla is from Elon there is less talk, less bluster ... he is focusing on the business, focusing on the product and focusing on cost control.”

I'll accept that but I had my S for a while in 2013 and the run didn't seem based on much of anything besides actually producing a car not by hand. I would have thought the 3 would have brought a huge run like that but that never . . ..uh maybe now ?
Now seems based on future expectations of 'killing it'..and China maybe...or wait, maybe it was me. this is about the same time frame for the stock rise as after getting my P85 in '12 as getting my P3 in '19
this time I will not sell 1/2

Thanks @VValleyEV. I got quizzed on this by @bhtooefr too, and I realize that I was assuming $US quotes from GOOGLEFINANCE() even though I knew the German stocks were listed out of Stuttgart (see my last post here). So my marketcaps for VW, Daimler and BMW have been off (overvalued) by ~12%.
The good news is that it turns out that Tesla passed VW on Dec. 19th (if my re-calculations are correct). If I'm right, Tesla is now the second most valuable auto manufacturer in the world (by market cap).
Here's the updated chart:
Anyone want to check my work?

Are you basing your theory on this? Because I think charts like that work...until they don't.
So, the idea is we can’t color outside of some arbitrary lines? Cause I can redraw the lines if that’ll help? I can even add some additional graphics; unicorns, rainbows, dragons. Whatever you want. We can make it even prettier.

With the European companies, make sure you aren't confusing market cap in Euros with market cap in dollars.
