I think another source of problems for Tesla is entrenched issues with traditional incumbent car manufacturers who have deep pockets and relationships with automotive commentators in the car market. It’s not hard for them to leverage those relationships to make negative press about the company. Tesla is a huge threat to those companies - just like the iPhone disrupted the mobile phone industry. I feel their pain - we had the same issue with rating agencies in our industry.
Another issue is some people love to hate Elon Musk. Once again a lot of that is jealousy and also the fact that Elon is different. He thinks differently and human beings can be cruel to people who they perceive to be different.
If you are one of those people - don’t be so judgemental about something you don’t understand. Tesla as a company is doing some wonderful things!
