Down by the Beverly Center? Oh yeah. Go west a few miles and it drops about a dollar. CA taxes for you. SO GLAD I LEFT in 2006!
Let's face it: The shorts have endless pockets and no interest in profit. They just want to harm Tesla.
What could be the end of this game then? How could the shorts be stopped?

large, unexpected, share buyback program
Not all the media coverage is unfair, here is one cowritten by Bloomberg's Model 3 counter:

PS. What markup do I need to copy the actual article into my TMC post? Thanks. Not a Robot.

It's the only way (apart from privatization, and we saw how that went). Simultaneously kills the bankruptcy argument and makes it much easier to borrow to fund expansion.
Just don't expect a single profitable quarter to do the trick.
Ok. I was thinking using cash to pay off unsecured creditors early would reduce the Borrowing Base (and irritate the secured creditors.) IMO, the idea that an early, gratuitous repayment would impress the Market and juice the share price is fatuous. A higher share price helps primarily when Tesla is doing an equity raise. Tesla has far more productive uses of that $920 million over the next five months

Why should that change the fundamentals of the current situation? Tesla will not pay any dividend any time soon, so if you consequently keep the stock price down and destroy every faith from the ground up why should the price rise?

But it is going to be a long, slow process. Look how long people have KNOWN cigarette smoking causes cancer and still keep on smoking. These are the people you expect to quit their ICE habits overnight? Yeah, uh huh
I agree with your other points, but I'd like to disagree here: the amazing thing is EVs like Teslas, despite lacking the economies of scale of millions of units, are already significantly superior to every comparable ICE car, in every metric, to over 90% of the new car customers.
I.e. my thesis is that due to this the EV transition is going to happen incredibly fast not because people care about the environment, but because people genuinely want a superior car, and once there's a Tesla in their favorite form factor that's affordable, they convert and never go back to ICE cars, ever again.
ICE cars are not the cigarettes that are bad for your health but to which you secretly go back because you enjoy them.
Instead ICE cars are the old trailer and stinky outhouse you move out of after winning the lottery, replacing them with a modern luxury home with full amenities. Once you enter your new home you'll never look back.
If out of nostalgia you visit the old trailer after three months, it's all awkward, embarrassing, surprisingly limiting, and you don't fully remember how it all works anymore.
At this point I'll also make a bold prediction: ICE cars are never going to catch up ever again, it is downhill from now on, until they reach horse carriage economic status in 10-20-30 years.
I think you'll fully appreciate this competitive advantage of Tesla cars once your new Model 3 Performance arrives!

Hmmmm.....I see a $3 gain in AH
I guess these old eyes (or mind) betrayed me. I swear that I saw a dip. 
Here's a heads up that I've started a thread last night where we exchange information and ultimately file complaints with the SEC regarding perceived illegal activities with TSLA trading that violate national securities law. Please take a look and better yet, participate.
thanks!

I'm sure they are accurate but the issue is it is only their own inventory that they are reporting. So we have no idea how many shares are available elsewhere. So the fee rate is a better indication of overall short interest.
Are you referring to the current 3 lines, the GF1 cell/ pack lines, and or the new Chinese ones? I thought the Fremont side of things had already been paid for.
Duffer, I think it did dip after the close yesterday, maybe .52 cents or do. But by the time you posted stock had moved up in AH.
Classic capping underway right now at 295. Shorty didn't want to lose all their progress today.

Model 3 is much better for Europe. I am not exactly in deepest countryside (1 hour from London) but this kind of road was a daily occurrence for me until recently (well not so bad..):
You don't want to meet a John Deere coming in the opposite direction in a shiny $100,000 Model S!
Or try parking here:

Or try parking here:
The present 10 lines have an output of 20 GWh, the 3 extra lines have a higher output and will bring the total to 35 GWh at the end of this year. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Edit: GWh instead of GW.
