It’s easier for people to sit sidelines so they can’t be held accountable...

TSLA goes bankrupt this year, “See I told you, I knew this would happen!”

TSLA does well this year, “Well I never said to short it!”

With that being said, I’m just in TSLA for short term, hoping to see a pop. Funadementally, its way over valued, but that doesn’t really matter these days. I love the product.

Add another executive departure to the list: Matthew Schwall, Director of Field Performance Engineering. He was Tesla's chief performance and safety liaison with the NHTSA and NTSB and had been with Tesla since 2014. He is joining Waymo's autonomy team.

Tesla executive joins self-driving car venture Waymo

And as Matt Schwall departs, another autopilot-equipped Tesla slammed into a firetruck this weekend at 60 mph. The fire truck was waiting at a red light. No brakes were applied before impact.

Welcome to silicone valley. People jump ship often. Tesla is not an easy place to work from what I hear. The boss is demanding.

And from the time this thread started about 10 days ago, about 1100 have died in car crashes across the US but nobody seems to care or notice the car manufacturers involved.....

Both of these are just more excuses. Given how much you have invested in Tesla it’s no wonder you blindly excuse their issues but you might be better served to either reduce exposure or at least recognize reality.

The numbers of deaths nationwide in automobile accidents is your purposeful or ignorant distraction from the issues with Tesla’s autopilot system

And shouldn’t that have you concerned as an investor? Instead of dismissing all negative, you may be wise to take note at how the public perception could be a huge problem.

Seems every time I hear about a problem with the autopilot system, it turns out to not be a problem. Closest thing to a problem was when the guy in California drove into a barrier and killed himself. And in that case, he ignored repeated requests from the autopilot system to take back control of the car.

Musk says Tesla will not need to raise money this year.

Musk said the same thing several times in the past, and every time ended up raising money shortly afterward. You can't take him at his word.

I’m the case you cite could the autopilot system not slow the car down and or brake?
