So much FUD.

Why? Seems fairly rigorous, with vested interests clearly declared.

Rigorous? lol. I'm usually slightly critical of tesla.. but this article is terrible.

It's so long because the author needs to jump through too many hoops to end up where he wants to go. Audi A6 has 0 causalities? Cool. Tesla has 0 in one year? Extremely suspicious. Not enough Tesla accidents in the database? Include China. Should he include China for the other cars? Nah.

This article is a joke.

The firm is short Tesla, but I’d still like to see a data driven Tesla rebuttal before believing it’s all smoke and no fire.

Is this really what passes for statistical analysis in the investment community? From a biomedical statistics background, this analysis so atrocious that I don't know where to start.

This sounds like a good basis of a line-by-line refutation or counterargument on Medium. :)
