Well, this certainly explains why GM is ramping up production of the Bolt.
Oh, wait.

First they need to get the dealerships to actually promote it equally rather than only sell for those that come to the store wanting one (even trying to convince the customer to buy a much more profitable gasmobile first).
Now, now, don't be coy. I know you said you were following Jim Chanos for years, and how great his shorts were, but hard to believe you'd just take his advice to short TSLA w/o doing at least a little independent research. And what better place than Seeking Alpha to get info about shorting TSLA!
Bummer about your short, by the way. You must be down, what, like 90, 100% by now? IIRC you were betting that they would botch the Model 3 ramp and use the profits to help buy a Model S. Oh well, maybe you'll still get lucky and they'll mess up and before you know it you'll be riding in style! Good luck man!
Honestly, GM should have taken that tech and put it into a sporty Cadilliac. Something that looks good with a little wow factor. even though it wouldn't sell as well as a model 3 it would be outselling the Bolt. Just my 2 pennies.

Thanks for the tip, never to see those pesky propaganda sites again!
Wonder why they went and started another useless thread?

As you stated, while this is technically true, therefore not fake news, it is deliberately slanted with the intent of subterfuge and deception. SA has an agenda therefore needs to keep feeding the nonsense. Plenty of misinformed and just plain dumb people out there.
Actually SA is an echo chamber for shorts and bears. I don't think it has any impact on bulls or newbies to Tesla. I hardly see SA articles being quoted anywhere. In fact TMC is quoted in SA much more than SA quoted anywhere on the internet or any news media.
Many of you guys are actually false framing these opinion pieces as if they were purported to be news in the first place. They obviously aren't, so can't be considered "fake news". Almost embarrassing to have to point something like this out to folks.
Anton Wahlman is a private investor writing opinion based blog articles and has a vested interest in Tesla stock prices going down. This fact is also clearly stated on every single article to, presumably, help those lacking common sense discernment. But apparently all these disclosures, in addition to the clearly stated source of the info just don't sufficiently convey context. Such "willful ignorance", instead, is what should never cease to amaze.
"Disclosure: I am/we are short TSLA.
I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Additional disclosure: At the time of submitting this article for publication, the author was long FCAU and GOOGL, and short TSLA. However, positions can change at any time. The author regularly attends press conferences, new vehicle launches and equivalent, hosted by most major automakers."

lol again the incredible lack of discernment of what constitutes "news" is amazing. Btw, I typed in "Model 3" without "news" and got the seeking alpha article search result as well. Is that really how you go about finding news sources, or are you also being willfully ignorant?
Believe what you want, write what you want and where you want, it matters not. Good luck with your shorts. Sorry you feel the need to come to a Tesla forum to defend your SA Tesla slander piece and resort to insults. Have a good day.

Unfortunately Seeking Alpha has wiggled themselves in there and attached themselves to legit news sources. E.g. if you go to CNBC.COM and type in TSLA and click on News, you'll see a bunch of links to Seeking Alpha articles, and they're giving the same exact same prominence as Reuters and New York Times.
If takes a while for most people to figure out that Seeking Alpha is just a free-for-all blog site, and not actual screened, verified content.

Huh? Did you guys go through a bad divorce that we're not aware off?
I don't see how you can Zenmaster's response can be seen as a defense of SA.
It shows what a POTUS says is actually important - everyone now uses the term. It's also why racism is so much more overt now - Trump gave it legitimacy
Like the buttons say, disagree. Some things I like, other things I disagree with. You can see which is which by the direction the thumb is pointing. Since you didn't ask me why I like some posts, I won't answer why I disagree with others.
@deonb if I misread his initial post (#29), which is entirely possible, then I apologize. It read as a defense of the SA blog post, and it almost reads like he's the author of the piece in question coming here to defend it. I then basically replied as you did, though your post was way more in depth (and better). The response at #32 was negative no matter how it's read, and it was a direct reply to me. And if @zenmaster is not with Seeking Alpha, and is indeed just a fellow Tesla forum poster, then that sucks even more. I'm all for differing opinions, having disagreements and discussions regarding things, but I guess I thought coming to a Tesla forum to discuss all things Tesla with fellow enthusiasts wouldn't result in such negativity. Call me naive I guess. I need to spend less time on this forum...it's depressing.
"News" in this country has really gotten blurred. The lines between fact-based reporting and opinion have been lost. I'm not sure you can take this position anymore.
