Then go right ahead and listen to the "experts" because banks and hedge funds never go short and ALWAYS tell the truth, don't they?
Some people never get tired of being wrong!
Tesla is doomed compilation. Just goes to show how wrong "experts" can be. . .
There goes the "they can't survive without government subsidies" theory. . .
U.K. to ban sale of new gas and diesel cars starting in 2040
Intention is to get gas and diesel vehicles off the road entirely 10 years later in 2050
Thomson Reuters Posted: Jul 26, 2017 6:12 AM ET Last Updated: Jul 26, 2017 7:00 AM ET
Britain will ban the sale of new gasoline- and diesel-powered cars starting in 2040 as part of a plan to get them off the roads altogether 10 years later, Environment Minister Michael Gove said on Wednesday.
"The Conservatives had a manifesto promise to ensure that by 2050 there would be no diesel or petrol vehicles on our roads," Gove said in a BBC interview.
France wants to stop sales of gas and diesel cars by 2040
"Today we are confirming that that means there should be no new diesel or petrol vehicles by 2040."
France set a goal July 6 to have no more gasoline or diesel cars sold in the country by 2040. A day earlier, Sweden's Volvo became the first major automaker to pledge to stop making cars and SUVs powered solely by the internal combustion engine.
Gove also said the government would make 200 million pounds ($326 million Cdn) available to local authorities soon for schemes to restrict diesel vehicles' access to polluted roads.
Gove said he favoured road-by-road restrictions for diesel vehicles rather than outright bans from town centres or costly vehicle scrappage schemes, but did not rule them out entirely if they were local authorities' preferred options.

Yes. . .
an imagination!
How short are you? Your level of desperation is showing.
Wow! I haven't read a blatant short & distort like that in a long while. That article belongs in the trash or possibly on Seeking Alpha. Not much difference between them!
Thank you! Most interesting!
I suppose you have a link for that?
Seeking Alpha. Now there's a site that publishes nothing but the truth! They claim the safety rating slips and the share price increases. Go figure!
Isn't Lutz the guy that went to the government, cap in hand, for some bailout $$$$?
What is it exactly that makes him an expert on businss models?
Nonsense. It is not greed that you see. It is the jubliation of longs who have been told countless times by shorts and FUD merchants that TSLA price was going down, company was going broke, blah, blah, blah.
Longs deserve this and shorty deserves what is coming to him! It is a great time to be holding TSLA!
You sound just like the guy from Decca Records that said "guitar groups are on the way out" and "The Beatles have no future in show business."
These kinds of sweeping statements have an uncanny knack of making people look extremely short-sighted!
When Ford started out in 1903, the livery stable was selling 100 times more horses than Ford was selling cars.
We know how that turned out, now don't we?
Another good read. . .
Elon Musk takes a dig at short sellers on a big day for Tesla's stock
Akin Oyedele
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is going after the shorts.
Musk tweeted, "Stormy weather in Shortville ..." on Monday, in an apparent jab at traders who shorted the stock, or bet that it would fall.
It's been a tough couple of months to be short Tesla shares, as they have gained nearly 30% this year. On Monday, shares were up 4% after news that Tesla made a record number of deliveries in the first quarter. Deliveries rose 69% to 25,000, rebounding after delays in the previous quarter, according to a company release on Sunday.
Tesla's gain made it bigger than Ford by market cap for the first time.
By February, traders who were betting against Tesla suffered a loss of 31%, or $2.3 billion when taking into account financing costs, according to S3 Partners, a financial analytics firm. Short interest climbed to more than 35% of the float, or shares available to the public, in the weeks after Tesla announced in January that it missed its 2016 deliveries target.
Musk's tweet was a lot more subtle than how some other CEOs have responded to short sellers. For example, AthenaHealth CEO Jonathan Bush told Bloomberg TV "I'm already rich, who cares" in 2015 as part of a response to why the company was the most shorted stock.

Elon Musk: I can fix South Australia power network in 100 days or it's free
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of electric car giant Tesla, has thrown down a challenge to the South Australian and federal governments, saying he can solve the state’s energy woes within 100 days – or he’ll deliver the 100MW battery storage system for free.
On Thursday, Lyndon Rive, Tesla’s vice-president for energy products, told the AFR the company could install the 100-300 megawatt hours of battery storage that would be required to prevent the power shortages that have been causing price spikes and blackouts in the state.
Thanks to stepped-up production out of Tesla’s new Gigafactory in Nevada, he said it could be achieved within 100 days.
Mike Cannon-Brookes, the Australian co-founder of Silicon Valley startup Atlassian, on Friday tweeted Elon Musk, asking if Tesla was serious about being able to install the capacity.
Musk replied that the company could do it in 100 days of the contract being signed, or else provide it free, adding: “That serious enough for you?”
SA Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young replied to Musk: “Let’s talk!”
Rive, Musk’s cousin who co-founded with him the solar energy outfit SolarCity, had said Tesla’s battery technology could address the power shortfall from the Hazelwood power plant closure in Victoria, as well as SA’s blackouts.
“We don’t have 300MWh sitting there ready to go but I’ll make sure there are,” he told the AFR.
Tesla recently completed an installation of an 80MWh grid-scale battery farm in southern California within just 90 days, which cost $100m US.
Repeated blackouts in SA since September last year have sparked a political brawl over energy policy, with the federal government blaming the failures on the use of renewable technologies. The most recent blackout was in early February; the Australian Energy Market Operator said there were many factors behind it, including higher demand than anticipated.
Grid scale battery storage could help to even out price spikes, prevent blackouts and improve reliability across the network.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (Arena) recently approved a $450,000 grant to EnergyAustralia to investigate a pumped hydro energy storage project in the Spencer Gulf. That project has a capacity to produce about 100MW with six to eight hours of storage.
In comparison, Tumut 3 hydroelectric station, Australia’s largest pumped hydro storage, has a capacity of 1,500 megawatts.

Have you got ANY PROOF that this is a REAL e-mail? Seriously.
Why is an e-mail from 2013 being published in 2017 and held out like it means something? Do you believe the Elon Musk sent an e-mail pertaing to an IPO that still hasn't happened FOUR YEARS later! All I can find is this e-mail posted on Reddit by someone who calls themself "Quality Bullshit"

I NEED PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY.
Thanks!
Congratulations SpaceX! Well done. . .
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasts off, lands at Cape Canaveral
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Kennedy Space Center's historic pad 39A on Sunday, taking with it more than 5,000 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station.
The rocket's first stage came back for a successful landing at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station less than 10 minutes after the 9:39 a.m. launch.
The launch took place at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A, the same one the Apollo astronauts used in NASA's historic moon missions. The pad was last used for NASA’s final shuttle mission nearly six years ago.
It was SpaceX’s first launch from Florida since a rocket explosion last summer.

It doesn't make any sense to me, but for some reason, GM plans to limit the Bolt to 50,000 per year. . .

Well I don't think Elon Musk is that concerned since he released his patents so that all auto manufacturers could build their own EVs with his technology. in order to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport.

Hmmmmm. . . Let's see. . . Do we take the word of a FUD merchant or that of Morgan Stanley? Tough call that one, but since the doom & gloom has been ratcheting up at the same pace as the share price, I think I'll go with Morgan Stanley and other 'real' experts, thanks very much!
Because that is EXACTLY what Musk said he was going to do. He was going to update until a certain point (I have long since forgotten what the date was) and he was not going to update further. You can look it up for yourself. I really don't think he is that concerned about what you think it means. He has more important things to do. Sheesh!
I doubt it very much. All the doom and gloom coming from the same posters day in and day out tells me someone is on the wrong side of this and trying spread some FUD.
If you can't beat 'em, you might as well join 'em!
All IMHO, of course!
Uhhhhhh yeah, right!
You are 100% correct! Move to the top of the class!
Unfortunately, I live on the other side of the border, but if it comes to pass, that's great news for Buffalo NY! Nikola Tesla did a lot of his great work in the area. Well done, Elon!
Tesla Goes Big as Battery Production Begins at Massive Nevada GigaFactory
Mass production of lithium-ion batteries just kicked off at Tesla’s massive Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada. The batteries are meant to be used in Tesla’s electric vehicles, with demand expected to outstrip the current lithium-ion battery production around the entire world.
There are already 400,000 pre-orders for Tesla’s Model S, so the kick-off will hopefully supply a much-needed component to many anxious customers. This is a modest beginning for a much larger expected demand for electric cars in the future. Tesla’s website explains,
“With a planned production rate of 500,000 cars per year in the latter half of this decade, Tesla alone will require today’s entire worldwide production of lithium ion batteries. The Tesla Gigafactory was born of necessity and will supply enough batteries to support our projected vehicle demand.”
The 2170 cells that began production this last week will be used in Tesla’s Powerwall 2 and Powerpack 2 energy products, in a Gigafactory that isn’t even completed yet.
It is planned to be completed in stages and by 2018, the Gigafactory is expected to churn out 35 GWh/year – nearly as much as the rest of the world’s entire battery production combined. The completed Gigafactory will cover 1.9 million square feet, making it the biggest building in the world.
The lithium-ion battery factory will also employ 6,500 people directly and create another 20,000-30,000 jobs in the surrounding area.
Since Musk doesn’t do anything small, though, a second Gigafactory is already planned for Europe, with the location to be announced.

You can always tell a short. You just can't tell them much! LOL!
Exactly! Any moron can publish any nonsense they like on seekingalpha and 99% of it BS. None of the numbers in that article can be verified. It's all just some idiots (probably short) guesstimates. I'll wait for the REAL numbers and will not act on some crap from seekingalpha, thank you very much!
All IMHO, of course!
When $80 has been breached you can rub it in all you like, but until then this puppy is trading above $180. Once those Model3s start being delivered, you won't see prices this low again. All in IMHO, of course!
Who are you trying to convince? Simply put, Tesla took $400 MILLION in deposits for the Model 3. When those autos are delivered, Tesla will have sold approximately $16.8 BILLION worth of the Model 3 alone. IMHO it will be easier for Tesla to find investors than it will be for you to get a loan to buy one!
I think you made a typo. Surely you meant "See you at $280"
However. . .
. . .since firefighters were certain the victim had died immediately after the crash, it did not make sense for rescue workers to take unneeded risks in recovering his body.
I don't see that happening. . .
Tesla took orders for over 400,000 Model 3, resulting in $400 Million in deposits and at $35,000 per car (base price) is $14 Billion in sales.
Do you honestly see problems finding investors or getting financing?
Not enough and thanks for the advice, but I'll take my chances.
Not at all.
Are you sure it wasn't a Camaro?
Who cares why people are buying Tesla? As long as they keep buying the company will not fail. If your statement is correct, can you tell me why GM, Ford, Nissan, BMW, VW et al are falling all over themselves to build an electric vehicle and try to catch up with Tesla?
Whatever you say shorty!
