​I wrote a blog post a while back stating that it was an untenable position to think that MoviePass was going bankrupt, while at the same time believing that Tesla was going to have a prosperous future. That’s a double-standard.

​Christina Balan was the featured guest on the TeslaQ podcast this week and it was absolutely fascinating interview. I remember hearing about Christina Balan a couple years ago. But at the time, I had no idea what an integral part of Tesla she actually was. It is said that she “saved the Model S”. 

​Tesla is clearly a company on the road to imminent bankruptcy. But there are two ways that people look at Tesla. The fact-based group looks at the business model and stats, crunches the numbers, and sees that Tesla won’t survive another year. The emotional group is like your uncle Bernie who predicts that the Detroit Lions are going to win the Super Bowl every year. We all know it’s not going to happen but he’s following his heart. And he wants it to be true so badly.

After the latest Autopilot crash killed a woman on the roadside, Tesla fanboys are using reporters to perpetuate Elon's lies. This thread replies to David Goodhue's Miami Herald interview of the Tesla fanboy lying about Autopilot safety.

Lie: "Tesla is safer than the other cars." (The fanboy says this in the video)
Truth: The death rate for Tesla cars is TRIPLE that of comparable luxury vehicles.
Link: Tesla's Driver Fatality Rate is More Than Triple of Luxury Cars (and Likely Even Higher)

​Today was Tesla’s long-awaited “Investor Autonomy Day”. Man, what a snore-fest. Everybody on stage turned into Charlie Brown’s teacher squawking away about stuff that we all knew was a bunch of BS. 

Tesla falsely accused whistleblower Martin Tripp of threatening to "shoot the place up" last year. Then they went after critic Montana Skeptic's employer to try to get him fired from his job. Now it seems that they are up to their old tricks and have falsely accused twitter critic "Skabooshka"  of trying to cause accidents and harm employees. Most companies would consider false accusations immoral and unethical. But Tesla? It's standard operating procedure.

What was his crime? Simply of capturing video footage of their self-driving software testing. He intended to expose any false claims on Tesla's part. Something Tesla has already been guilty of in the past. 

Anyway, below is some of what Tesla is deathly afraid will taint their Investor Autonomy Day. I figured if Tesla is so afraid of this info getting out, it must be important. In a humorous twist, if Musk hadn't attacked Skabooshka, I probably never would have seen this.

Enjoy

​Most in the press like to constantly state that Musk is an extremely popular CEO with millions of twitter followers. That is true. However, the opposite is also true. Musk’s unpopularity has reached levels of which I’ve never seen before. There seem to be countless parties devoted to uncovering and publicizing any mistake that Musk does. Millions more with only a passing knowledge of Musk actively are rooting for his company to fail. Why all the negativity? 

​Can any rational person look at the following timeline of events and not come to the conclusion that they’re all connected?

This thread presents evidence that $TSLA inflates its delivery numbers by fraudulently re-selling unregistered Lemon returns as "new" to unsuspecting customers, then double counting the delivery. It builds on @quirkyllama's excellent musings here:

​Tesla just announced that they were dropping the price on their Model 3 and also closing their entire retail store operation. I’m not surprised.
