I don't get what is "stunning" here? Maybe I am missing some context? Someone called Tesla to advise that Tripp was heavily armed and coming at the Gigafactory. Tesla called the police, which then looked for Tripp and found the information to be false. Subsequently, the police tried to identify who placed the initial call, and found that the caller was just "a concerned friend", as they knew Tripp to be unstable and…

So your answer has 0 value.

> "this is merely a ploy to manipulate the stock or destroy the company." Well, the most favorable thing you could say about $TSLA is that Musk hasn't managed to destroy the company, in spite of his well-known and recurring antics.
Given that they’re currently producing over 90,000 cars per quarter, and that their products have consistently been the benchmark EV for eight years, I think there are plenty of other favourable things you could say about them? I’m not remotely a fanboy of that company but your comment does seem to be out of whack with the scale of their success despite gargantuan odds.
I do think the Model 3 caught everyone's attention though, but I'm deeply skeptical that Tesla has any significant first mover advantage. Car companies aren't exactly unique.

If Tesla security had credible information that a recently fired employee who has already damaged the company greatly by leaking information to the press, is inclined to shoot up the place, it would be monumental incompetence on their part if they didn't report this to the police.
And it would be monumental incompetence on the part of the police if they didn't investigate it.
BTW: this wasn't swatting. Swatting is making false, anonymous 911 calls about active, armed threat.
It wasn't anonymous and it wasn't false. Tesla security presented the evidence to the police and the police (not the SWAT team) followed up on that. Let's give the police the benefit of the doubt and assume that they found the evidence credible enough to investigate it.

For context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_headquarters_shooting If Tesla security had credible information that a recently fired employee who has already damaged the company greatly by leaking information to the press, is inclined to shoot up the place, it would be monumental incompetence on their part if they didn't report this to the police.

The police reports in the screenshot do not indicate that the police verified these claims. Rather, they suggest that they took the word of the security personnel from Tesla.
It’s perfectly fine for the police to presume that information given is accurate until proven otherwise! However, it was false information. The police confirmed that the suspect wasn’t armed.
The most charitable reading here is just that the Tesla employees were mistaken, but nothing here says that Tesla presented evidence; so it’s not exculpatory.

“They sell more EVs than anyone else, because they are willing to lose more money than anyone else” is perhaps the most charitable thing I could say. I believe they’ve gone through about $20B in cash and lost $6.5B of it. “Not quite the WeWork of cars” is another.

Their competition for those years has been companies that only producing compliance cars for the California market. Are you really the benchmark when no one else has been trying? I do think the Model 3 caught everyone's attention though, but I'm deeply skeptical that Tesla has any significant first mover advantage. Car companies aren't exactly unique.

they don’t sell anywhere close to “more EVs than anyone else”.
