He is a force doing great things for Our Future.
Actually, I don't think he's that many regulatory road blocks considering the size of the giants he's gone up against - that's more of a surprise, but rather a good one - BUT suspect!

What does shock me is how he's able to consistently miss earnings, run his bottom line in the red quarter-over-quarter, provide lofty assumptions for growth and profitability that have yet to come to fruition and still secure insane amounts of capital.

I also think that Tesla is going to end up adopting this "Throw-away" culture we've gotten used to (think iPhone). Every couple years you need a new one because ...

The only other capital phenomenon I've seen like this is Amazon. They produce razor thin margins ~<1%ish and would post QoQ negative profits (prior to the past few years) and still their stock would (and continues to) soar.
