Shorting Tesla in the short term was smart move. I hope you made good profits from it. I don't agree with you on the long term outlook of the company. I keep an eye on the self-driving space and currently there isn't any real competition. Once we see competition they will still be starting far behind Tesla.

Here's why I say this.
Self-driving cars:Tesla is by far the leading this race.
Car insurance: Tesla will be fine in this business as long as their prices is fair.
Robo-taxi: GM had this idea since 2016, Lyft and Uber both have this plan but Tesla will be one of the big providers in this space. Not sure if they will lead it though.

I'm not even taking into account the solar panel and energy battery storage business. Tesla truly isn't a car company but a tech company in the car space. I hope Elon is smart about the corporate structure of all these businesses.

I don't expect a dividend from Tesla in the next 10 years. Way to much growth to be had. I'd love to see Tesla under $200 this year. I would gladly hold it for the whole 10 years. :)
