    Why the heck should a company be obligated to allow employees to use company resources so that they can anonymously complain about the company! What a bunch of whiney babies, seriously!

    They shouldn't, but shows a spine/stability when they don't care what their employees post about them. If you gotta clamp down on your employees expressing grievances, it tells me you can't afford a PR hit

    Let's get the guessing game going. I say they deliver 83K cars in Q2 with a loss of 300MM.

    At this point they are better if they come in way below their guidance of 90K-100K, because they can play the excuse game, (it was the weather, ships, tariffs, whatever so we didn't make profits) as an explanation.

    But if they do sell 90K cars and still lose let's say 300MM, then the excuses don't work anymore. The story part of the stock is definitely over.

    "William Smith, of Blaine Capital, went on CNBC with a doomsday message for Tesla stock owners.

    "They have very poor management, Elon Musk is not a genius, he’s not a visionary, he’s a charlatan, he’s a carnival barker."

    Well, Bill, why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel? :)

    I'd come to the same ultimate conclusion as you for a different reason. If your employees have nothing better to do then whine about how the company stops them from using company resources to complain about the company, you hired some pretty self-entitled a-hole employees which doesn't bode well for the firm in and of itself.
    I'm guessing that most company's haven't stopped this service because they simply don't know it exists and what's more I'm guessing (from having engaged in similar guerilla marketing campaigns as a startup) that this Blind startup is simply using this to get the word out about their product. Which is working, cause I certainly didn't even know they existed before, you?

    Isn't this the reasonable sentiment on the guy?

    Fair conclusion. No, didn't know about the company either, but work in the industry. The rumors from colleagues who've moved there don't paint a pretty picture

    Don't disagree with that at all. I actually work directly with another division of Tesla on a daily basis and you couldn't pay me enough to work there! Which is a shame, because it does lead the @Pekelo's of the world to conflate all electrification with Tesla and then flush it all down the toilet.

    Sure. I didn't say I disagreed with him. :)

    It is just rare that an analyst is so straight forward.

    Quoting from the other Tesla thread, from Monday:

    And here we are, 4 days and 23 dollars in the money later... Should go up to 220 at least, but around 233-240 serious resistance.
