This is a company that has never turned a profit that still somehow almost hit $400/share and is still, despite acting like being on the verge of bankruptcy, over $300/share. If anyone needs an exhibit A for the stock market being as much about emotion as rational thought, here you go.
Excellent analysis Matt. At some point the party will be over.

Well, there's that and the SEC investigation.

A friend of mine has had TWO Model S (one when they first came out and another a year or so ago). He is a true believer. He said both leak when it rains--which makes washing them fun.

How people attach their loyalties to companies and products blows my mind sometimes.

And how much do we rip on "German Engineering" ?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you have not worked on a tail-shift 914 or removed the ball joint from any early 911/914.

Ironic, being on a Porsche board.

Edit: Oops, Richard beat me to it.

What blows my mind is over 300 posts on a Porsche message board about a car few, if any, of the posters have any experience with.

Your Musk hurt is showing.....maybe you should blame the Ambien.

YMMV, but I think this was pretty obvious to all but the unicorn riders.
To be fair, the underground vacuum tube transport has been an idea talked about by real scientists for decades.

So I have the ball joint thing to look forward to, great.

At least it does not leak in the rain

What's so hard about removing a ball joint from a 911? It's a 2 minute job.:confused:

Are the early ones different from the later ones? I had no trouble replacing the ball joints on my '88. It was a lot easier that old Chryslers where the ball joint screws into the control arms.

Notice what I don’t own right now? Don’t fall in love with anything that can’t love you back. Especially if it’s a financially insolvent car company led by an egomaniac billionaire selling mediocre products based upon unsubstantiated hype.
