It's vital to separate products and art from the personalities behind them, embracing them for their standalone merits.
“If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors. ” -Frank Sinatra
As irrational as many Tesla "Bulls" can be, I am struggling to understand the argument that most Tesla "Bears" sink their teeth into, which is that Tesla has continuously missed their own self estimated timelines
How do legacy automakers continue to service their massive amounts of debt while unloading or retrofitting worthless factories, yet still keeping the lights on?
