$TSLA made enough people rich I suppose. I saw some gains myself although not on a large scale. Still don’t like the guy but there’s the old adage “for my friends everything, for my enemies the law”.
If $TSLA plummets a crazy amount the tables may turn

- ladberg 3y agoI'm gonna need a source for that... I don't know of any collaboration between the two companies or overlap between their cars in general.
- mortehu 3y agoI think this is a Theranos reference that went over everyone's heads. Theranos were using Siemens machines while pretending to use their own technology. Obviously Tesla is not doing anything like this, and GP's point is that they are not similar.
- hef19898 3y agoTesla out VWed VW in the marketing game. Other than that, they have nothing in common...
- NikolaNovak 3y agoThat is new to me. What VW platform do you claim Tesla is based on? Anything to back it up? (I agree personally that value of Tesla is marketing and sentiment as opposed to fundamentals. It's the vw angle I've never see before)
- trollied 3y agoGiven Tesla were the first to use a "Giga Press" [1] to mould the chassis, I very much doubt your claim. They innovated significantly. Most car manufacturers use Bosch components all over the place, if that's what you're getting at.

- morelisp 3y agoThere are at least four replies at this moment missing the point entirely, it's incredible how knee-jerk these are to defend Tesla against a defense of Tesla.
- mynameisvlad 3y agoIf the point is so opaque that four separate comments miss it, then maybe it was not well described in the first place. It’s less a knee-jerk defense of Tesla and more of a knee-jerk “what are you talking about that’s absurd” because at face value it’s an exceptionally absurd claim.
- morelisp 3y agoIt's a joke about Theranos, the biggest corporate fraud story of the decade and the parallel topic of the thread!
- mynameisvlad 3y agoI mean, that doesn’t change how it’s a confusing and seemingly absurd claim at face value. It doesn’t read like a joke, it doesn’t in any way imply the link, it just sounds like an absurd statement put out to incite responses. And people clearly all read it this way. If one person read it wrong then sure, you might have a point. If every single person replying read it this way, then it just shows the point was not clearly articulated to begin with. Even if you had just watched the documentaries about Theranos, I doubt you could have immediately pieced that connection on first read.
- estebank 3y ago> Still don’t like the guy but there’s the old adage Interestingly, Juan Domingo Peron's version of that adage was "For our friends, everything. For our enemies, not even justice." I'm not sure which one is worse, but they are certainly both evocative. > If $TSLA plummets a crazy amount the tables may turn It depends. What happened here is that Holmes screwed over peers, and not just consumers. I don't think anything will happen to $TSLA's CEO unless except through malice aimed at his peers that affects their wealth.
