“there is some...” not “their is some...”
It depends where you live. Where I am, we see Teslas pretty much daily. There are charging stations scattered throughout the are. In fact, I believe there’s one across the street.

Professional short sellers are scum.
Musk will make a lot more friends than enemies in the financial community.
Let's not forget Zip2 and the Boring Company.
I consider him to be a conman, he takes advantage of every type subsidy whether from government or investor and though I don’t agree with that as long as it’s legal I say more power to him.
And at one time that described Donald Trump.

“There’s a reason that Tesla is ranked number one in customer satisfaction, way above GM”
In in spite of horrendous quality. Many stories like this one below. How can Customer satisfaction be so high? A lot of customers are simply Elon Musk cultist fanboys is my guess.

I was commenting on professional short sellers, not the markets.
You can keep guessing and be wrong, or do some research and be right.
“There’s a reason that Tesla is ranked number one in customer satisfaction, way above GM”

It has to do with the buyers... Buick is ranked higher in initial quality than Porsche ,, Why? Simple; Buicks are bought by old people that don’t see even glaring problems in the cars they buy the same as Tesla fanboies like Moonman while Porsche buyers are nit-picky.
Calling the lack of dealerships , authorized repair facilities and spare parts being unavailable a positive is borderline insanity. If your Tesla gets a small dent in a rear quarter panel , a $1000 body shop repair on any other car ,, your Tesla will likely get “totalled” because of the lack of spare body panels. Tesla’s are EXTREMELY expensive to insure ,, in fact the higher insurance costs eat up any savings on gasoline purchases you might have.
the market requires people to believe that it is regulated and fair. CEOs that lie to the public to cover up their own failures or crimes cannot be tolerated. Musk is being tolerated. He’s special.
Funny you mention Porsche. They are ranked second behind Tesla for customer satisfaction.
And not using dealerships is a tremendous positive and innovation. I gave the reasons why most customers are very satisfied with Tesla, even though some do have a lot of problems.
Tesla’s are expensive in every way. For now that’s not a problem, but they’ll get a lot more affordable in the future. People like them so much they are willing to pay the money. Look at the comment above about a FReeper driving a Model S.
I didn’t write the articles just reporting what’s out there for everyone to see. Fanboy
If you only want to see the negative, that’s all you’ll see, and you’ll attack anyone who points out that there’s positives also.

Like DeLorean’s became real cheap after 1982? Tesla can service your car just fine if you live in San Francisco or Manhattan but not in my area... I know someone that’s been waiting 2 weeks for a $700 drivers door handle to be replaced so he can use his car... Elons “delivery hell” is all his making as they deliver to your door instead of a dealership... The backlog of profitable dual motor model 3’s have been built , now EVERY car they build going forward is a money loser.
That idiot Musk due to the fraud he perpetrated on the public with the “going private at $420” fiasco made it impossible for Tesla to raise capital in a private placement as they have done in the past... without another cash infusion they’re toast... they might have a small profit this quarter but it’s a one time deal...
