Tesla’s ‘Anemic’ High-Margin Model Sales Extends Profit Struggle

I've been following Tesla news fairly closely for maybe 18 months. This kind of misinformation-based article happens regularly. The combined forces of big oil and big auto have considerable sway over certain kinds of news organisation. Remember that Tesla spends $0 on advertising with them.

And then you have the billions invested by those who are short the stock.

That's a powerful coalition of forces going all in on discrediting Tesla any way they can.

In fairness, there's too much fanboy stuff in the opposite direction too.

But overall, from my reading, Tesla appears to have some serious structural advantages over all other comers in the expanding EV market.

Quarterly report is tomorrow so it's time to start the FUD factory. Just flag the post and move on.

Okay, prove it. Show your evidence that Bloomberg has been swayed by Big Auto.

More like - how does Bloomberg know anything at all about Tesla's margins given that this would come out tomorrow?

The journalist who wrote this graduated two months ago.

Since then he has churned out a few negative articles about Telsa, while also being breathless with excitement and uncritical about how VW and Ford announced some future collaboration on Electric vehicles.

So you have no actual proofs, just innuendo. I find that unconvincing.
