Yeah, my bull case is similar.
People forget just how bad the Model X launch was. It was a complete disaster. They had I think literally three of them ready for launch and then total silence for weeks. Then took months to get any sort of small run volume off the ground.
And because people have totally forgotten about that, people will probably totally forget about just how (comparatively mildly!) bad the Model 3 launch is going. It will stutter for a year, and in three years everyone will want one.
I lived through my dad owning 4 Jaguars, totally inexplicably. One of them he carried around a box of brake fluid because he had to add a little each day. If a car is that special to you, you just mentally set aside production issues. Electric cars are even more special.
Enzo Ferrari probably never said the apocryphal quote: "I don't care if the door gaps are straight. When the driver steps on the gas I want him to shit his pants." But for a big demographic its essentially true.
So Tesla will make it out of this year, and then everyone will forget that the Model 3 ever had problems in the first place, just like with the X.
