Right now their finances are a mess, they are publicly struggling to produce their most important car ever, their CEO is spending time figuring out how to dig holes underneath LA...and now they&amp;#x27;re announcing a semi truck and a roaster in the same day? Don&amp;#x27;t get me wrong, Teslas are incredible cars. But this seems like an overreach considering they are struggling to figure out how to meet demand on the Model 3. It&amp;#x27;s also insane to announce this car with what boils down to a bunch of CGI! These are some very bold announcements and there isn&amp;#x27;t much explanation for how these goals will be met. I hope this all turns out as advertised, but I&amp;#x27;m very skeptical.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>dkhenry</author><text>You have been reading too many finance blogs. Their finances are far from a mess, they are just not what finance people like to see. They have cash on hand and a roadmap to execute on. If they don&amp;#x27;t execute they will go out of business, and they will take my money as an investor with them. I&amp;#x27;m OK with that and as long as they continue to have a path to profitability I am all on board. I want to see them burning money to get market share, especially as they do something new. The idea that companies must always operate within a specific set of financial metrics is why GE is going out of business</text></comment>
