Not buying it -- these headlines make me even more bullish on Tesla, and I've been following them since before they had their first investors.

Production is coming along better than anyone realistic could have ever expected, and continues to do so at an impressive and steady rate.

So what you are saying is Tesla's public announcements and investor statements should not be taken as realistic?

That almost sounds illegal.

[erikpukinskis]

At this point, everyone who is paying attention knows Tesla’s estimates are optimistic, including Elon Musk.

And no, there’s nothing illegal about being bad at estimating.

Compare Tesla to others and not their own targets and its clear.

Tesla has a market cap larger than Ford's, but is currently struggling to produce two orders of magnitude fewer vehicles.

How long does the market need to wait?

In what world is half of what their previously stated goal "better than expected"?

i think he might have knowledge of tesla's "private expectation" i.e. what tesla is seeing internally, vs "public expectation" what tesla is telling the press.

If TSLA's 'private expectation' don't match what they're targeting, then Musk will be going to jail. The SEC doesn't mess around with that type of securities fraud.

[mcguire]

If so, I think the SEC might want a talk with someone.

So have they been lying to investors?
