"Make no mistake, this is as much a PR ploy by Tesla to pump up their offering."
I don't get your negativity here. The fact that a major green tech company working with government support is able to shift financing over to the private market is, indeed, a remarkable feat and is absolutely something they have a right to crow about. The government, too — it's an example of a progressive system working as designed.
As for PR's impact to stock price...TSLA is 70% institutional owned. Anybody with a material stake in the company is savvy enough to know that they're not suddenly self-sustainably cash-flow positive.
- der3k 13y ago"I don't get your negativity here." I didn't get the negativity. He was just stating a reasonably deduced thought.
- varjag 13y agoit's really hard to find a phrase starting with "make no mistake" that doesn't culminate with a negative or dismissive slam. As urbandictionary puts it, "a weasel-y, thought-terminating phrase that is supposed to lend gravitas to a weak position in an argument. Used by doomsayers and the overly dramatic."
- abstrakraft 13y agourbandictionary also lists "superman" as a sexual maneuver. Your move.
- der3k 13y agoDamn.
- sillysaurus 13y agoI don't get your negativity here. It didn't read as negative.

- PakG1 13y agoCan we get away from splitting hairs here? Would we rather he have said: "Make no mistake, this is as much a PR cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one's advantage by Tesla to pump up their offering." ? A synonym may be trick. But the definition you cited fits what was happening perfectly without intending the synonym. Synonyms aren't always interchangeable due to nuances in meaning differences.
- der3k 13y agoSeriously. I feel like sometimes people argue not in regards to the content but actually to be right. They WILL split hairs just to be right.
- baddox 13y agoNot to me. Any plan designed to turn a situation to one's own disadvantage is by definition foolish.
