Bull. You were implying I was a short-seller with an agenda, just like Elon does to all critics and whistleblowers, just like happens in every Tesla discussion on these boards.
It's hilarious, because the critics are "evil shorts", but the proponents are innocent "good people" who would never talk their book.
My saying "I suppose it's possible you have financial interest in Tesla failing and haven't disclosed that" isn't a "baseless accusation" - which you claim, which then wrongly lets you build your anger and is a bad foundation giving you the argument that I'm being hypocritical and also making assumptions. I didn't accuse you of such - realize there's a difference between an accusation and brainstorming through possibilities.
In the end we'll see how Tesla and Elon does. I believe most people are terrible at understanding exponentials, terrible at foresight at the holistic level - and only believe something once it's been 100% for X years; part of the whole Product Adoption curve: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, laggards (or other labels: tech enthusiasts, visionaries, pragmatists, conservatives, skeptics).
