Thanks Russ for a well-reasoned article. Tesla fanboys will, of course, dismiss all factual comments about Tesla and continue to worship their blathering/tweeting deity regardless of how often his "predictions" are proven hollow and regardless of how foolish his "visionary thinking" really is.
In the real world, someone will ultimately make a fortune from Tesla stock - by being fortunate enough to short it at just the right moment in time.
Meanwhile the fanboys and fund managers will continue to pump the stock, oblivious to its inevitable final fate.
