    Always forward looking and when forward looking its always a win win win. I always forget that tesla is the ONLY one working on the future while all competition does NOT exist.

    It exists. But does it work?

    Some years ago, EV's have improved range and charging station wise.

    Love the instant acceleration for merging with traffic from a stand still and no clutch to worry about but that's about all I do like from the 2 I've driven, Leaf and a Van both terrible barely managed 50miles on a charge with lights and heaters on.

  6. As long as it keeps going up, play it long. It's not rational, it can't last, it can't be happening, but there it is.

    Love all the hatred. Tells me you haven't figured what Tesla is, but more importantly, that you have lost or not made any money on the stock of the decade. Sucks to be you.

    You're smart, educated traders who've been doing this for years and doing well financially. Yet you act like pouting kids because the pretty girl kissed another boy instead of you. Get over it.

    You're right, today's numbers don't make sense, but the potential is enormous; you have to look beyond the car business.

    No point arguing, the market has spoken.

    Yeah, and it spoke about Enron as well via 101 Fortune style covers 'Best Run Firm in the US'. Via 101 gushing articles about how it was the company of the future. Via 101 'awards' for this and that and so on. But then look what happened.

    Not saying that Tesla is the same but there are more than a few people with excellent track records suggesting that Tesla is not as it seems. Remember, a very high stock price can have a hypnotic effect over investors.

    However, from a trading point of view Tesla has real potential, both up and down, over the next few years. And as for their cars, I'd rather go German for electric luxury or this fantastic little Honda for around town -

    Yes, no issue over the being careful argument. But it's the emotional rejection I don't get...
    Check the Tesla 2020 thread where I posted the most convincing Tesla business model proposition detailed by a known Tesla fan club.
    The model is detailed and simple and that presentation turned me from a Tesla naysayer to a Tesla believer. When you're done, you will see that Tesla is not a car company, it's an energy company looking to displace the oil and coal industries. Cars and just the packaging for the batteries...
