O'rly? This thorough analysis shows it isn't and tesla is in deep doodoo because of growing debt and other problems.

i see only govt regulation, a huge flood of new stock (which will crush the price), massive spend reduction, or new huge outside investment or buy out as options.

article says 3 outselling all other ev's by a mile, but that doesn't mean market is growing a lot. Tesla seemingly had a huuuge backlog of orders to fill... we'll see how it's doing next year.

and to be clear, i WANT TESLA TO SUCCEED!

Why they change of heart? You've made it clear you want Tesla to succeed, but you haven't really liked their Models from past posts.

thanks for the trolling.

my thumbs up to sighting of two 3's today was indicating it's a good sign for tesla, not that i like the looks of them! i still think it's a fugly car, and the x, which i so wanted to like, is laughable.

so i don't think i've been inconsistent, but if i have, oh well.

You carry a lot of weight around CL, which is why it's easy to remember your posts. People respect your opinions, just wanted clarification hah.

didn't they do away with those doors for traditional doors? or are they an option? I know I saw an X with traditional doors.

Wouldn't they have to heavily revise the structure of the X in order to make the back doors "normal"? I figure that's why they haven't done so yet.

falcon doors are not optional whatever you saw is not a model x.
