The news around Tesla just days before any earnings release are just fascinating to observe.
On one side, there's an narcissistic CEO who has achieved incredible things, but who also generates a Reality Distortion Field rivaling that of Steve Jobs while as the same time apparently being mortally obsessed with attention and following.
On the other side, there are a bunch of skeptics who get triggered by such a persona.
Case in point: the fact that Tesla seems to be relatively quiet at the moment might actually be a good thing. The fantastical claims made during "Autonomy Day" two days before the previous earnings release were seen by many as a crude attempt to distract from the poor quarterly results with hand-waving.
