While that may be true, as an investor it's still disheartening to see Tesla repeatedly shoot itself in the foot media-wise with regards to TSLA when they do not have to do so. Some staggering of the good news with the bad news could certainly be seen as reasonable?
They say that the stock market can remain irrational longer than a stock trader can remain solvent, but there isn't a catchy phrase to describe the media as concisely. Well, other than, "If it bleeds, it leads"
The media doesn't play fair, there is no scale where putting more "good" news on one side somehow balances things against the weight of tripe that passes for content. Tripe that is designed to encourage clicks and the purchase of various soap products, rather than having any inkling toward making the world a better place.
All Tesla has to do to find itself "shot in the foot" is to exist and continue to threaten the livelihood of those who both sell and purchase advertising.
Any "staggering" of "good" news merely presents another opportunity for abuse by those in the media who have developed their talents for twisting light into dark into an art-form.
Rather, Tesla simply conducts their business the way they see fit, sharing honestly when it behooves them to do so and keeping their cards close to their chest otherwise. For Tesla to fall for the allure of trying to use media releases to their benefit would be a fool's errand on par with trying to perfect autonomy using Lidar.
Every indication since I began following Tesla has inferred these instances where they share info is very likely something they have considered and determined to be the most beneficial action when compared to not doing it. They are in hostile territory, media-wise.
They are thinking longer term than are those who blast them for the effect of this or that statement's timing over the short term.
I trust their judgement, and, based on their track record compared to the companies supporting the media attacks, it seems to me they are making the right decisions.
They are a juggernaut, and Tesla's progress won't be hindered in any significant way by the minor slights as these which some feel compelled to lash out at Tesla over.
