I have no idea why people talk about Tesla going bankrupt. It will never happen in this liquid market. Even Uber raised $10bn from SoftBank. There is a ton of liquidity in the market and a lot of it is coming from middle East sovereign funds. It should be easy to do a stock sale with that kind of revenue and demand numbers.
- carlivar 8y agoAgreed, a dilution event like that seems more probable than bankruptcy. Though dilution has already been happening anyway. Just look at a graph of shares outstanding.
- rconti 8y agoAs someone mulling buying a Model 3, I'm keeping an eye on their solvency. One thing that occurred to me is that, to expect a bankruptcy, you'd have to completely disregard the efficient market hypothesis. Sure, there are plenty of crazy fanboy retail investors out there, but there SHOULD be more than enough shorts if that's truly where the smart money was.
