#2The Kochs didn't make Elon tweet himself into an SEC sanction
"Musk and the Tesla board have decided to keep Tesla public." Decided as in there was no plan in the first place

#3I actually really want to buy a Model 3 but these stories that Tesla has a bridge note due in March that they may not be able to cover have me concerned. If I buy a car I want to make sure the company is around to service it.
I don't see this article covering that particular article. In fact the word "debt" appears nowhere in it.
Edit: I'm actually asking someone to prove the debt issue wrong if they can. It is literally the only thing keeping me from buying.

#4Theirs is 50 percent profit business. Only matter is, it will take time to zeroing their debt.

#5Tesla's biggest problem right now is Elon and all the negative publicity he generates. I think the stress and lack of sleep and crazy long hours are finally getting to him, resulting in outrageous behavior that has become a severe liability for Tesla.
Just a year ago I would never have thought I would say this, but perhaps he needs to step aside and hand the reins over to a talented COO-type like with Gwynne Shotwell over at SpaceX.
edit: of course I'm getting downvoted for saying bad things about Elon on HN. Oh well, I've got karma to kill, so bring it on. :)

#6As much as I'd like the company to succeed, it seems frivolous to dismiss the concerns as short sellers' PR projects and media's desire to drive traffic through clickbait.
Bond markets are largely dominated by institutional players who've seen every PR trick in the book, pay astute attention to fundamentals in hopes of finding a minuscule mispricing opportunity, and even they are not treating TSLA positively

This is probably availability bias. You read about his gaffes but you have no exposure to what he actually does inside the company.

I've never seen that number before, any source?

#9Just as a note, the author is from CleanTechnica. They are known to be extremely pro-tesla.
Best case scenario - most of their articles quietly ignore the downside and prop up the upside. Worst case - they lie or embellish the truth.
Disclosure: I've followed both bulls & bears for almost 6 months - and I've got quite a lot riding in short positions.

I am thinking all the other car makers going to be extinct. All the other auto makers are struggling now to make mass market electric car and 90 % that is going to be the future for good.
