Agree, the return to normal will be a return to a new normal and the transition will be gradual. New models show if US lift restrictions completely May 4th, they could go back to current levels of affected/deaths by July. What is more likely to happen is a phased in approach. Industry first to keep the economy alive, then schools in September. Large spectator events like sporting, music concerts, theatres will be the last restrictions and I don't seeing those being lifted until January 2021. A new normal where the customary hand shakes are no longer, physical distancing still encouraged, limited gatherings, gloves and face coverings common when in public places, washing hands frequently, high risk members of our society (elderly, those with respirator problems, marginal health) taking additional precautions, sanitizing surfaces on a regular basis, enhanced methods of testing for the virus, enforced home solations for those tested positive, tracking of individuals affected to ensure compliance, and everyone working together for awareness and betterment of the whole to control the virus, until a vaccine is available for all.
The US May 4th start up is critical for the economy, and if it gets pushed out further Tesla will take a hit, however timing the start up is outside of our control (left up to the governing bodies and health agencies to decide which we put our trust in). Trying to time this startup is risky, because you want to be in TSLA when the green light is given. If May 4th great. If a little later, that's great to, when it happens. My prediction is Tesla will last a long longer than COVID-19.
