Yes, customer loyalty is a consideration to be factored in. But the criteria for consideration when deciding if a company is worthy of your business, is different than the criteria of determining whether it's a sound investment. Cautious on $TSLA.
Every company has spin. That's the job of a good CEO/PR company. Personally I think #Musk and #Tesla are going to achieve great things. The man is a visionary. Sure, the company has it's share of challenges... what company wouldn't when trying to achieve greatness. But when they succeed, no one will remember these early problems or occasional spin. Bullish on $TSLA
How can #ElonMusk claim they will use NO cobalt in their next gen batteries? How is that even possible? Is there any basis for this claim at all? Bearish on $TSLA
This is a reasonable statement on $TSLA and makes much sense. I will say that I was much more gung-ho about the self-driving technology but I've become somewhat soured on it after reading several of @[Gary Anderson](user:4798)'s articles on the subject. He seems to have much expertise and believes that it will ultimately prove to be a failed, unsafe technology. While I do believe we'll get there eventually it has certainly delayed my expectations of when it will be viable. I'm thinking maybe 20 to 25 years before I'd trust a car over myself.
But you have to factor in customer loyalty and like #Apple, #Tesla has rabid fans. For example, Apple's stock should have tanked when it came out that they were deliberately slowing down customers' products so that they would be forced to buy new products - that's a complete betrayal of their customers. But it barely caused a blip. $TSLA$AAPL
Good unbiased take on #Tesla, which is pretty hard to find these days. I keep going back and forth on this company. People seem to love the cars and #Musk and tend to ignore some of the problems the company face. Others highlight Musk's somewhat unpredictable behavior, the numerous companies that distract him and only focus on the negatives. What's your personal take on $TSLA, Trent? Worth investing in?

Gotta love $TSLA. Not sure why there are so many haters out there. Probably people who have never even been inside one of their vehicles.
