They said they would be profitable from Q3 2018 on wards short of out of the ordinary circumstances, and specifically mentioned Q1 2019 due to debt repayment.

Paraphrasing is when you clear up the meaning of something into different word, what you did was change the meaning completely. That isn’t paraphrasing.

That isn’t what I wrote at all! Do not quote stuff that isn’t there!

And explain how that means “But the shortsellers!”? You might need that psychiatrist. Tell them you have problems understanding meaning of words and context.

And how is that “But the shortsellers!”? Do explain.

Where do you see that quote? I suggest getting glasses or seeking a professional for help.

None of those are suppose to be out yet.

They showed 2 quarters of profit, then only went into negatives due to paying off a large debt and shifting to Europe (longer supply chain) for 2 quarters then returned to profitability.

The bed would work fine as a work truck. I know what you are gonna say, side loading. But it’s doable with an accessory.

You are joking right?

I see no reason why it can’t be a work truck. It fills in a good gap for those who don’t need a full blown Tesla Semi.

Uhm, you still need trucks. Even if everyone suddenly decided to go commute by bus. You would still need trucks to make deliveries.

Has Tesla ever revealed a vehicle for production and not released it? Even when people said stuff like Model X will never be released with the falcon doors (for better or for worse) it was.

This has up to 500 miles range. More than most trucks drive per day.

The stock was gradually going up for months now. The truck erased much of those gains.

That is because purpose of cars and trucks are different. For cars, Tesla did all the shiny gismos or what not. But for trucks, what matters most is reliability and durability. (and of course cost per mile for commercial)

Over 250,000 preorders already.

Asian societies as a whole tend to be pretty strict and stressful. So they go to gaming to escape the stress. It’s like their 2nd life.

Technically, china isn’t communism but stalinism. And we are getting closer and closer to switching to it.

To date, Tesla has not once in history not kept their promise about price for people who preordered. Even if the price does jump, people who preordered will get it at the promised price.
