Nobody uses solvent-based automotive paint anymore. It's not better either. Now can you guys who want demonstrate what you don't know about paint coatings take it to another thread please. It's like watching paint dry.

Yeah my 2019 3 paint looks fine to me too, but, then again, I don't go over my vehicles with a fine-toothed comb. I only get praise about how my 3 looks (although one acquaintance did confide to me that he could never buy a 3 because the front reminds him of a shark face and he has a massive phobia of sharks).
I've read plenty of noise around Tesla's paint and body panel fit, and the thing that strikes me as odd is that, personally, I don't care much if my paint has a minor ripple or a panel gap is off by a couple of millimeters. I don't look at my car that much, I just drive it.
I'm no car aficionado, and I guess if one is spending $50K+ on a vehicle it might matter to them, but as a member of "the general buying public" I couldn't really care less. I think my 3 looks fantastic, much better than the average car on the road, even better than BMW, MB, Lexus, etc.

Thank you for your insight. My purpose in discussing naked shorting is identify if it is being used to drive down the SP with sudden large unexpected dumps, creating a follow-on cascade of panic selling. Look at the 'icicles' in this chart: ( @Papafox explains it well )
There are 3 obvious 'icicles' on today's chart (circled above in RED). Let's focus on the icicle at around 1:24 pm: the SP dropped $6.81 over the course of 4 min. This is about as obvious manipulation as it gets.
Then the shortzes just keep banging away until they reverse all TSLA's gains versus the macros for the day (purple line is the QQQ)
If Market Makers are participating in this naked short selling for their own proprietary trading (ie: trying to move the SP in order to save money on Friday's Options payouts, or 'Max Pain), then that is a violation of SEC regulation SHO.
Problem is, the SEC isn't minding the store. They're but a wooden Indian out front of the shop, collecting pennies in a hollow chest.

he should’ve said no one is above constitutional law.
@Artful Dodger Maybe this deserves its own thread. I just have a very basic question, hoping you have the answer.
if the MM or hedge funds are engaging in naked short selling, I assume they have to buy/cover those shares at some point. When they cover they are essentially going long correct? Because in the case of naked short selling you are not borrowing the shares so you don’t have to return them.
I mean do they hold on to the shares and probably use it to delta hedge their call options? Does this explain the recent 8K filing from Citadel? What am I missing? This also explains the huge swings in TSLA’s price. Most of the action is driven by options and the market makers have a trump card aka naked short selling to essentially manipulate as they want. It’s like an online poker game where the MM essentially knows what cards the opponents have.
That said, there is probably a pattern here that we can identify and I don’t know how to go about identifying it. Thanks for reading if you got to this point. Cheers.

I'd like to ask you to re-read your first paragraph and then your last paragraph.
Those of us that found the tweets distasteful did not assume good process was happening. We evaluated the information that was publicly available.

Many of the automakers with production approval have higher COVID rates than Alameda County. I don't see a problem comparing them. Additionally, they compete against one another.
People are saving money right now because they can't spend it. Just between my wife and I, we are saving around $1900/month solely from not eating and drinking out. We don't want or need to be saving the money but it's literally impossible to eat or dine out (not that we would if we could right now). Your average consumer can add on the savings of cancelled vacations, tuition, clothes, tires, gasoline, oil changes, etc. The list goes on. As long as your income is secure, and many are, this money just builds up or is used to pay off credit cards, etc. In any case, it puts these people in a better position to buy a new car. Sure, a lot of people have reduced income during these times but you would be surprised how many are feeling no economic pain (quite the opposite actually).
Alameda County orders Tesla's Fremont plant to stop production
Alameda County officials told Tesla on Tuesday to stop manufacturing at its Fremont plant, the strongest step local government has taken to check the electric car maker’s defiance of health orders.

Upon further review it looks like this is just old news with a click bait headline, oh what these journalists do for the clicks is amusing.

Right. So all talk no action. They should put together a committee to talk about what can be done. Oh, wait...
Once again absolutely nobody except Elon wants to stick their neck out.
It’s the difference between being a leader and playing at being a leader.

There is a wave in the US (from east to west). China should not be much different. The beginning of the quarter's production would be shipped to more distant parts of the country for sale before the quarter ends.

Elon Musk, Tesla Cybertruck, & Cyberquad ATV To Appear On Jay Leno’s Garage | CleanTechnica
Should be more good PR. Elon's chomping at the bit to build Cybertruck.
Cheers!
"CNBC just released the teaser for the 5th season of “Jay Leno’s Garage.” The video shows Elon Musk, the Tesla Cybertruck, and the Tesla Cyberquad ATV. Perhaps these are from only one episode that will cover Tesla, but the specific date of this episode is not yet known.
"The next season of Jay Leno’s Garage starts May 20, and the show will air every Wednesday at 10:00 ET onwards."
