What the Tesla Model 3 actually looks like in public.

They are at the least very similar. I didn't make the gif. I am sorry they picked a flattering angle I guess?

I would absolutely pick this over a model S if you were just going on appearance.

It's entirely subjective though. Some people compare the 2.

If that is the body shape they needed to get the extra range though, I honestly dont care.

You can't simultaneously say "Tesla can do no wrong" and "this is good enough".

Not even remotely close to what I am saying.

That's fair, but $35,000 is literally double what the starting price was for the PT Cruiser

I am not sure what your point is?

Basically, you can't be overly optimistic (read: lie) about your delivery timeline to encourage pre-orders, and then use pre-order money to finance your operations. Uncle Sam doesn't like that very much.

Are you seriously saying that the government is going to have any problem whatsoever with Tesla's business model?

I understand that Tesla has pretty consistently been optimistic with their timeline projections in the past.

Yes, they joked about it at the reveal. It is due to them over engineering the cars.

The issue is whether I can accurately predict what is going to happen,

You, personally, probably cannot. Others can.

I doubt I could've identified Tesla as the success and Fisker as the failure beforehand,

No shit, huh? Shocking.

So what untold wealth has it brought you?

Tesla is less than 1% of my portfolio. I was having fun with it too, until all of you dickheads started showing up.

I bet you're right. That'd be 0% return over 29 years.

If you don't know the marketcap, you cannot calculate the return.

Sounds legit.

I only add a new position once every 6 months on average. I buy value and dollar cost as well. Biggest unrealized loss in my portfolio is $124.60

Don't forget your meds.

You were wrong. You decided you would mock me about Tesla and you were just plain wrong. I knew the demand for the 3 would be overwhelming. Don't whine like a fucking baby now. It's unbecoming.
