many have this wrong because its a cult stock that defies gravity with ridiculous valuation.
if you can afford a tesla gas prices is last worry. with current pricing its a very small niche market. 10k cars worldwide?
Then there is this.
First, the company delivered 9,834 units in 4Q14 and therefore 10,030 units in 1Q15 only represents 2% sequential growth. Furthermore, Tesla stated that 1,400 units that were scheduled for delivery in December slipped into 1Q15, which when adjusted for actually implies a 23% Q/Q decline (adj. 4Q deliveries of 11,234 vs adj. 1Q deliveries of 8,630). Either way, the notion that Tesla is experiencing "disruptive growth" seems very questionable.
