Which they achieve with bigger and heavy battery packs. This means higher electricity use in normal trips and eventually a more expensive replacement pack
Yes, that's what I'm seeing when I research. It's more a fact that Tesla are say 15-20% ahead of the pack but the whole media etc mantra seems to indicate they are way, way, way out in front. The engineer in me just doesn't see it.
I've also reading alot of their autonomous tech isn't really field ready for many countries road conditions. Didn't a recent UK Model 3 buyer here on this forum say he'd turned most of it off after it did a full emergency stop on motorway out of nowhere..
Getting back to stock prices, I also believe that Tesla over the last year was actually the first WallStreetBets type movement only it wasn't as blatantly coordinated and was slower to unfold.
Tesla fans are the type to also be stock buying savy. They didn't like their company being shorted to hell and once they started buying, it was a positive feedback loop. The case for shorting Tesla was very strong a year or two ago...the company was burning cash and couldn't turn a profit.
I still maintain that the underlying principles of the company haven't drastically changed in the last year or two yet the share price has done a 20X ? Surely it wasn't because of the Tesla Semi or Cybertruck? If so where are they?
Here's webpage for the Semi.

Have a look at the video when it was unveiled in 2017...Musk said it would be delivered to customers in 2019. Now's it's 2021 apparently... I don't doubt it will.be on our roads eventually (along with Mercedes, etc EV trucks too) but can he just stop the headline grabbing Bullshit for once?
When Musk makes product predictions that don't materialize, he's called an 'optimistic maverick'. If any of the big established EV manufacturers did the same (repeatedly) they'd be called 'liars' actually.
Anyway DYOR.
