How big is your short position?

That’s funny. You should read the Wall Street Journal. I’m probably considered the biggest Tesla fanboy there. People know me by name. I’ve even been know to get excited about the Model 3 milestones. http://h4labs.org/tesla-is-about-to-ship-its-10000th-model-3/ http://h4labs.org/tesla-is-about-to-ship-its-10000th-model-3... Anyway, I was trying to pick the brains of HN to understand the assembly line. Can the automation be addressed and the people reduced, for example. Where is the most difficultly with automation? Sometimes I forget that trying to have a meaningful conversation can be perceived as being against something. My mistake. Btw, I have never had a position in TSLA. I’d simply like to see them to be successful, as with all of Elon’s endeavors.

  My mistake. Your mistake was thinking that an article with the word "Tesla" in the headline means you talk about anything Tesla-related that suits your fancy. This article is about roll-over safety, and has nothing to do with Tesla's production abilities now or in the future.

    People make mind numbing digressions all the time. In fact, it’s a way of life on HN.

  > You should read the Wall Street Journal. Sometimes I do if I see an interesting article there. > People know me by name. I don't :-) > Sometimes I forget that trying to have a meaningful conversation can be perceived as being against something. Context is everything. With Tesla having so much money betting against it, and this fact being a recent newsworthy event, along with accusations of various actors manipulating public opinion to influence markets to favour the short-sellers, I just found it amusing that in a positive article about Tesla here was a post sowing doubt about their production process. What you mentioned is surely an interesting and meaningful conversation to have, but context is important.
