Another day, another humbling as TSLA soars on expectations of glory and victory against many car companies doing the same thing, with Google and others doing autopilot car management to back them up. Down 10% on paper/electrons to date. Short squeeze or irrational exuberance or a combination of both? Anyone can make photovoltaics, near enough. Anyone can do computerized communications car management for autonomous driving Uber, Lyft, Tesla and others can do fleet management of uberized taxi services Batteries are old as the hills for static applications such as storing electricity from photovoltaics Toyota makes a LOT of cars of normal, hybrid and pure electric varieties, all highly successful GM Ford Nissan Mercedes and many others are battling for market share in electric and other cars. Some will do much better than others. Carbon car bodies are unnecessary. Giant long range batteries counter the super-light carbon bodies. With a half hour recharge at superchargers, instead of 3 minutes at a petrol pump, 10 times as much acreage will be needed for service stations. That's a LOT of service stations and uneconomic. At peak times, queues will be enormous and delays very frustrating. A LOT of electrical supply infrastructure upgrade will be needed to supply all cars with electricity instead of liquid hydrocarbons. A LOT of fun is to be had and much gnashing of teeth resulting. Oil prices are falling. And can go to $20 a barrel. And stay there for longer than TSLA irrational exuberance can undercut that price. I have seen this all before, way back in 1979 and on to Y2K as oil price declines reclaimed dominance against all sorts of alternative fuels. Mqurice
