Until Q3 2015 when strong positive cash flow actually materializes it will be easy to spread FUD at will.
There will always be FUD, it morphs and re-invents itself to make use of whatever available tools are around.
Examples of prior FUD -
Tesla Motors hasn't had a profitable quarter yet.
Tesla Motors is funded by government loan, they're the next Solyndra.
Tesla Motors is only alive because they sell Zero Emissions credits to other manufacturers.
The Tesla Model S is a loss-making car, they don't actually make a profit on it.
Tesla Motors loses money when you use normal accounting practices... they use wonky accounting to make it look better than it is.
Tesla's leasing program for the Model S is a trick, it's making it look like there are lots of revenues, but eventually all those cars are going to come back and be a massive financial headache.
Tesla Motors will never get its battery costs down.
Tesla can't increase production.
Many on this forum know that none of these represent solid, long term problems for the company and the stock has been very strong even with all these claims hovering around.
TSLA is already recovering from the Goldman Sachs report.
