6? Still nothing 1000s crash every day. The batteries catching fire after a crash is a common EV issue and keep recatching fire for days at times.
Your opinion doesn't move markets. I really don't have any dog in this fight, but every manufacturer that has attempted to compete with Tesla has failed spectacularly at it up to this date - including the Chinese State subsidized manufacturer Nio. Every Volkswagen/Audi Eon SUV has been recalled. Multiple times. Every Jaguar I-Pace has been recalled with no real short term fix in sight for it's regenerative braking system. Dyson spent $3.1B to learn that they did not want to get into the EV market. Porsche has brought to market the Taycan 4S model at a $104K base price point in order to compete with Tesla - problem is, the Taycan 4S has range and acceleration that is not only less than the Tesla Model S, but less than the Tesla Model 3. Kia just came out with it's Niro model, but it has very limited availability and build quality that's worse than Tesla's. The base model Nissan Leaf has only 150 miles of range. Honda's EV is available in only two US States. Toyota is still developing battery cells. It's no secret that the recent UAW strike on GM was precipitated largely by the Union's legitimate concerns that EV's could cost the UAW 35,000 jobs. (there's at least 40 percent less parts in an EV as compared to an ICE vehicle) GM delivered 5,000 Bolts in Q319 and has made it widely known that they will be transitioning aggressively into the EV space. Rivian in Detroit has very deep pockets backing it (including Amazon and Ford), and will start truck deliveries this year. It's widely known that Rivian will be a legitimate game changer in the light, medium, and heavy truck markets. Tesla's plant in Berlin was essentially paid for by European ICE manufacturers buying carbon credits from Tesla. Right now - Tesla is really, really far ahead of everyone else in the EV space.
A "baker's dozen" is 13. Yes, so I have read from news stories. So why would any analytical trader be biased in Tesla's favor? One reason could be is that they expect Tesla to be the "revolution" in automobiles and deserving of having all of their problems overlooked? I dunno.
Wanna know what car brands to buy for reliability according to Scotty Kilmer, a 50+ years as a mechanic? Toyota/Lexus Honda/Acura Ford pickups/suvs Mazda Subaru Personally, I'm a fan of Japanese-made cars. I've had several. My first was a Datsun 2000, an IMSA 2-litre class champ. FWIW...
Gotta think this through: How much do you think Space X is worth? And then how much do ya think Tesla is worth if it and Space X were to be under the same umbrella ?
Define analytical? Your opening statement, my opinion from reading about them...well that takes some thinking about. You are really being rude to folks here, in a question that you asked about. Why bother answering you? If you are wrong about TSLA, how will you know? Hasn't the price shown you, and many others to be wrong? Now what are you gonna do about it? Continue being rude, or change and grow?

Shoot the messenger? (I know only one person with a Tesla, and he likes it. However, it hasn't had the paint fade, muffler fall off, or burst into flame... at least not yet anyways.)
Whatever you are trying to communicate online does not come through very well. I don't know what you mean by your reply. Tesla has risen despite your opinion and what you have read. Perhaps your info was bad, sensational, planted, inconsequential, or otherwise meaningless. Perhaps you have not read enough or perhaps you are not open to receiving what truth has been out there about TSLA. Perhaps your opinion making processes are at fault, or non existent. I say TSLA has risen in spite of your opinion shows that there is something wrong with whatever process you use to arrive at opinions. I am not sure how to be open minded and Buddha like aware of how opinions come to fruition. I sure would like to be aware. What's up with the blast? It is the future. Current and future growth, EPS growth, market segment growth. The cars are better than anything on the market. I come at this as one that looks for growth story stocks with the capacity to change the world. Did my own analysis, way before all the current opinion pieces came into being. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/tsla.224571/
