This time the shorts really have him. Or do they? It turned out Tesla wasn't killed by not being able to make the model 3 at all, it wasn't on being able to make the model s in larger volumes, it wasn't because there was no demand, that there would be no demand after various incentives around the world went down (still some left in the us, also available to all other car companies by the way), it wasn't because they couldn't make the model 3 in volume, it wasn't because they'd all catch on fire and burn up in accidents, it wasn't because the over-promised-over-named autopilot was dangerous and would kill people, it wasn't because the leaf, the volt, the bolt, the i3, the i8, and continually forthcoming cars from audi, porsche, ford, mercedes, bmw killed them. It wasn't because there was a secret sec investigation was preventing them from refinancing, it wasn't because they have just lied all this time about selling the cars for less than manufacturing cost (separate from their enormous money spent on infrastructure), it wasn't because the batteries would run down and not survive heat, cold, regular driving, daily driving, supercharging. It was damn stupid for him to make that twitter comment.

You may be getting down voted, but you're right that the last several years of fear, uncertainty, and doubt has been shown to have been bullshit in having not panned out. Meanwhile, the last several years of warnings about climate change have been shown to be a true warning. My mother had to evacuate from a fire. A friend has had their city flooded. A different friends home was damaged by a hurricane. I've been begged on the street for a drink during a heat wave.

people should take their tinfoil hats off. People don't short tesla because they are evil but because they think there a profit to be made. You don't see eco-activist shorting ExxonMobil. Reasons simple: there is no reason to believe that ExxonMobil will go belly-up. Meanwhile, there are a lot of indicators that tesla could fall apart. Just ask yourself: Is the tesla stock massively inflated or are there some anti-tesla illuminites who banded together to sabotage tesla with millions of risk capital just for the lulz?
