    They did predict 30k annual sales.
    The Clarity had a big bump. It could beat the Prime soon.

    It's a pathetic day when the SEC favors supporting those betting against a company's success. These are different times. Oh well - it's never like musk ever thought big oil or the traditional Auto industry would be cheering for their success.

    The stock price has no effect on the company until it sells or buys the stock. IMHO, Tesla should consider stock buy-back when it is low. Then selling when it is high. In effect, counter cyclical.

    It'd be ideal, but for 1 thing - the law looks upon a corporation as a "person". And 'persons' that own 10% or more fall under SEC short swing profit rules which severely curtail buys/sells w/in 6 months. So yeah, you wouldn't want a company to be able to defend itself against scumbag short'ers now - would you?

    I was at a 'parade of green' homes in a rural area near Blountsville, AL, showing off my BMW i3-REx. There was a Ford C-Max and a Tesla with 47 hours on it:

    After setting up the car, I was sitting in the shade when I heard a loud female voice, "Its wonderful here and so QUIET!"

    There were tents setup in the shade with tables of flyers and a handful of friendly dogs:

    MENSA, huh?

    I guess that now leaves me a bit unqualified to drive a BEV for TWO reasons.
    I've never had my IQ assessed but I do not imagine that I'm in the 98th percentile.

    I suppose that when some of the earlier examples depreciate enough for down-market buyers to afford them....

    :D
