A history lesson, hopefully some of you will learn from this (posts from 2016)

But you are sure that they can manage to build the rest of the car for $24,000, notwithstanding all of the problems highlighted above. You must be killing it on the stock market.

Not picking on peter12 his posts are well thought out but also good example of short term thinking. Tesla now has the highest margins of any auto maker and we all know what the stock has done since then.
Going back to 2015-2016 there are a bunch of posts along the same lines, Tesla can't make money, can't survive without credits, GM sells millions of cars/year Tesla is barely a blip. The same thing is happening again, Tesla will never solve FSD it costs too much rabid fanboys etc. etc.
Will the skeptics learn anything?
