You've never had a dumb boss that asks you to do things even though the answer is obvious? Most likely because someone wants to look good to someone else or save face? This is worse in the government than private sector due to more politics involved.

Obviously that part was not reckless and stupid. The problem is the other stuff - "Funding secured", and especially "contingent only on shareholder vote". That last part appears now to have been false, and that makes it pretty darn reckless.
Then you’ve never worked for the government.
Tesla is very likely to join S&P 500 index mid 2019. Q3 result is the key. I think Q3 is likely to be profitable.
Tesla can use cashflow from Model 3 to fund future projects, except the Shanghai factory will use a local loan. Unlike what shorts have been predicting, Model 3 is actually an amazing car, owners love the car and it's very profitable.
I think Tesla's autonomous driving is finally coming. V10 will likely to demo coast to coast. That should be a major boost for Tesla brand and stock price. Autonomous driving worth at least $100B market cap.
My current car is almost autonomous for my daily drive. There are 4 things he can't do yet:
1. On ramp off ramp, pretty sure this will be included in 9.X
2. Stop signs and traffic lights, pretty sure the SW can handle these in shadow mode now.
3. Drive on selected navigation routes. This is relatively easy for normal routes. Probably will be released in V9.X
4. Turning. There are complex cases, but for most road, the car should be able to handle it next year.
Once the above 4 are achieved between V9 and V10, my daily drive will be essentially autonomous. It will be a major step.
At this time I just add shares when I get new cash, ignore the noise. No margin. Always assume there could be bigger drops in short term.

No, but it's definitivly no slam dunk.
And claiming a clear case and jail time is twisting facts.

There was some forced short covering via margin call an the opening on Aug 8th. But then, shorts are shareholders (they sold'em, remember?), so they have no shareholder standing or legal rights for damages due to shareholders.
Well you have demonstrated clearly and without doubt that you are a POS.
I don't mind being banned, as long as the mods take you out.

Eh, this news which has existed for a month was presented at an extremely opprotune moment, was precipitated by some interesting trades, and has no bearing on Tesla’s business reality.
Perhaps some are misguided in their unhappiness but this market action is fishier than Elon’s tweets.

In Norway we call it “Nerves made of steel”
I think you dropped a "not" somewhere in there
But even then, there should only be damages for the additional spike caused by the tweet, not the whole day raise caused largely by regular market action.
We call it that here, too - "nerves of steel".In Norway we call it “Nerves made of steel”
In fact, I'm pretty sure you guys copied this from us...

Don't worry I'm leaving, I fully expect to get banned - but this thread really ought not try and portray itself as a place for serious conversation about investment, given anything remotely questioning the company or even positing any idea that isn't "Tesla is going to be a $2 trillion company, and if you can't see that, you're a worthless piece of *sugar*", is immediately ripped apart by people who sound more like Nindendo fanboys than serious investors.
I really do not understand the level of hostility towards basic information and data about Tesla - there are almost 5 pages of comments saying the Bloomberg article was FUD - yes it was written sensationally but it was accurate - so it's clearly not 'FUD'. Many comments are down-voted because people don't like basic facts stated in them..
I on;y actually joined this thread because someone who is (was?) an investor in TSLA asked my opinion on something. The vast majority of people who post in this thread are morons and clearly should not be allowed anywhere near a trading desk.
While I am on this rant, the phrase "not an advice" is grammatically illiterate. It should either be "This is not advice" or (better) "Not an Advisement".

The problem is that he doubled down with his next tweet; "Investor support is confirmed. Only reason why this is not certain is that it’s contingent on a shareholder vote."

Please realize you yourself can make that happen and lower the SNR for all of us.
With mind blowing deliveries for the quarter to be out in days, I think this is a good time to load up. This drop is unjustified to me.
