Funny. I watched the live webcast on YouTube in Oct/Nov 2012, when Elon announced the Supercharger Network. It was the one piece of the Tesla puzzle I felt was missing, and the one thing that was holding me back from investing. It was also the perfect cure for range anxiety, which was, frankly, what was holding me back from buying a Model S.
So I watched the announcement, and for anyone paying attention it was a pure "duh" moment -- Tesla made it obvious that the Tesla Supercharger Network was going to be a huge moat for Tesla. So I sold all my AAPL and GOOG holdings and backed up the truck on TSLA. And in 2013 I got my Model S.
Hey, I don't work for Morgan Stanley, nor do I have any sort of degree in finance or an MBA, and yet, still I was able to figure the moat thing over six years ago.
What's Morgan Stanley's excuse?
My ‘duh’ moment was the first mention of Gigafactory. It was then I knew Tesla would succeed in their mission. It took three mentions of it before mainstream media picked up on it. And of course they weaved their FUD stories for years.
