1) I like to know how many percentage of Model 3 potential buyers who gave Tesla $1,000 refundable deposits have asked Tesla to be refunded. And what % have received their refunds?
2) I like to know if Tesla has made any profit on each of their Model 3s that they have sold so far.
3) Elon mentioned during the most annual shareholders' meeting that took place on 6/5/18 that Tesla will be profitable and positive cashflow for the third and fourth quarter. Elon Musk has had a history of over promising and under delivering for many years. Tesla is currently facing two class action lawsuits, one having to do with Tesla's acquisition of Solar City, which the judge recently ruled that the case can go on, and the other having to do with investors who lost money because they were misinformed about Model 3 production time frame by Elon. A lot of investors are now relying upon Elon indicating that Tesla will be profitable and positive cash flow in the third and fourth quarter. Can you please provide the reasons to back up the claim made by Elon that Tesla will be profitable and positive cash flow for the third and fourth quarter? These are material statements. A lot of investors are relying upon these statements, and if they turn out to be wrong, I believe so many class action lawsuits would follow.
4) Elon has mentioned that no capital raise is needed. However, several prominent Wall Street firms including Goldman Sachs, UBS and Chase have indicated that Tesla would need a capital raise soon. According to Goldman Sachs, Tesla will need to raise a minimum of 10 billion dollars and a maximum of 20 billion dollars in near future. Can you please provide the reasons to back up the claim made by Elon that Tesla will not need a capital raise? It also seems to me that because of the fact that Tesla is still burning so much cash, the fact that they have a lot of debts maturing soon and the fact that they want to open a factory in China, substantial capital raises would be necessary. This is also a material fact, and if Mr. Musk turns out to be wrong, again, a lot of class action lawsuits would be filed against Tesla, which would be very costly to Tesla and likely force Tesla to declare bankruptcy.
5) Is it true that Elon and some other insiders have pledged a lot of their Tesla's common stock as a collateral to receive loans, and whether they would receive margin calls if Tesla's stock price gets to $220?
6) Is it true that a senior engineer and other top executives told Elon that the time frame that he has in mind to manufacture the Model 3s is not achievable, yet Mr. Musk made those statements publicly and in writing by entering into 450,000 contracts with potential Model 3 buyers? As I indicated earlier, this is the reason for one of the class action lawsuits against Tesla right now.
7) Mr. Musk mentioned during 6/5/18 annual shareholders' meeting that many employees have worked 60 days in a row without a break. He also mentioned that once these employees were told to leave, they left. He also mentioned that then they continued to work more. He also mentioned that these employees slept on the factory floor. Aren't these labor practices against the law? Please let me know. Thanks.
8) Tesla has 800 million in debt maturing in Nov. It also has 500 million in debt maturing in Mar. of 2019. These two debts are in form ob bonds. All these bonds are short, and are yielding what a junk bond would yield. I have read several articles indicating that Tesla will not be able to secure debts to pay off these bonds. These articles indicate that financial institutions believe that Tesla is too risky, and therefore they wouldn't lend to Tesla. How would Tesla be able to pay off these debts?
