I seriously wonder if we’d have this kind of news cycle if Tesla was a private company. I’ve been watching Tesla since 2016. And it just seems like clockwork: Stock price is high -> news about how dangerous autopilot is. One could almost think it was some reverse pump and dump scheme. I’m all for questioning new technology. And I personally don’t mind the ups and downs. I’m just wondering how much of this kind of reporting we would still be seeing if all of the incentives offered by the stock market would go away.
