You're right, I totally disagree with you on Tesla as we clearly stand on opposite sides of the fence. Have you even driven a Tesla?GMAN75 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 2:46 pm Peteski, you can hold short positions for as long as you can finance them. Shorts can trade long or short term.
With all due respect, we'll agree to disagree when it comes to Tesla. They have nothing. Packing a chassis full of batteries isn't rocket science. Neither is the physics associated with the electric motor. Musk is a master marketeer - that's it. Competition is now their main enemy and the competition is coming from far more established, far better run and far more accountable entities - those attractive to investors. Musk knows it. Hence his desire to remain in the shadows of privately run companies...accountability.
Also with all due respect, I suspect you have little or no idea how hard it is to engineer an EV. It's far from your simplistic view above and partially why Tesla has very little competition in the market today. Mainstream automotive companies have been playing with EVs for a very long time with little success or ambition and only now are starting to respond, at a snails pace, to what Tesla have already achieved in less than a decade.
