All the capex info was in their letter and they talked about it in the call as well. Why should all the investors have to listen to them repeat themselves? I for one appreciated that he skipped the question and did not waste my time. Also the reservation holder conversion rate is a highly strategic information and I don't think they should release that to the public. And to be honest it is irrelevant while they have such a giant backlog of orders. my guess is that the intent was to gather material for negative press. Let's not kid ourselves. Tesla has been the target of a massive propoganda/trolling campaign recently. (HN included)

Who do you imagine being behind your imagined propaganda campaign?

  Do I need to know who is behind it before I can tell that it is happening? When every negative event is blown out of proportions and the positive ones are not mentioned it appears that there is propaganda at work. But if I wanted to look I would start here: https://electrek.co/2016/11/22/elon-musk-right-wing-trump-propaganda-campaign-against-tesla-spacex/ https://electrek.co/2016/11/22/elon-musk-right-wing-trump-pr...

  Context notwithstanding; as a long-term Tesla shareholder I am a bit skeptical towards the Musk’s behavior on this call. (Haven’t heard it myself yet). That said, Tesla currently has 38 out of 170 million total shares sold short. So there is a strong economic interest in the company failing.
