$TSLA vs @Tesla

A perspective...

If you like @Tesla cars for the rollercoaster like sensations they provide, you will love being a $TSLA long shareholder...

... or not

I started to buy $TSLA shares in May 2016, at around $200 and I felt bad at the time because I had missed the $160 dip a few months earlier, before the stock rallied to $250.

But Model 3 was everything I had hoped and I felt the stock was a bargain

For me, investing in $TSLA is about the mission.

Accelerating the advent of sustainable energy, away from this fossil fuel drug to which our societies are addicted.

@Tesla cars are incredibly fun to drive, have a lower TCO than equivalent #FossilCars, get better over time and have the best owner satisfaction of the industry...

Only issue: @Tesla can’t produce them fast enough to meet demand...

“The @Tesla Model 3 will likely go down in history as a product as important or even more important than @Ford’s Model T”

Turning away from #FossilCars will have a much bigger impact than getting rid of horses.

It makes Model 3 the #MostImportantCarEver

Since I bought $TSLA stock, much more information and facts about the company have been revealed.

I know much more now and all that knowledge makes me all the more certain that it was a great investment

Since 2016, the following happened (I will for sure miss a lot of news...):

@Tesla updated Model S

But, the key is: as much as I was happy to buy the stock three years ago, I am much more thrilled by the company now

I have seen $50 ups and downs in a day...
