Now that the Semi delivery event has been held, it was time for me to dig into my archives.πŸ˜‰

Here's a delivery of a full truckload of $TSLAQ tweets about the Tesla Semi. Image
It's quite amazing that the first Semis have now been delivered, considering the fact that it was always meant to be just a pump for the stock price. At least according to this automotive expert hereπŸ‘‡πŸ€‘ ImageImage
The scheme of the Semi was not just to pump up the stock price, but also to help Tesla to get a capital raise.🀑 ImageImage
And in addition to pumping up the stock price and securing capital raises, the goal of the Semi was also to get deposits from the customers.🀭 ImageImage
Here's more proof for you from the experts over at $TSLAQ: ImageImage
What $TSLA short sellers love to do is use the "Fraud" word. Everything Tesla does is a fraud. And the folks not spotting the fraud and giving airtime to Tesla are the enablers of the fraud like Jay Leno here according to @TESLAcharts 🀑 Image
Remember, the Semi is not the only fraudulent product from Tesla. Cybertruck has also been built so that the suckers can watch the photos of the fraudulent products. 🀑 Image
Those silly cult members. Believing everything Tesla says. 🀑 ImageImage
Surprisingly, there are some short sellers who are now thrilled that Tesla decided to build the fake product. πŸ˜‰ Image
Since the revealing of Tesla Semi in 2017, the short sellers have been arguing that Tesla doesn't have the money to build the vehicle. And also no space where to build it. A lot has changed since the reveal. Hasn't it @Commuternyc and @MyTsla? 🀭 ImageImage
The Semi had a lot of delays. Luckily for us, @TESLAcharts was always there to explain us the real meaning of Tesla's statements regarding the delays. 🀑 ImageImage
When Jerome Guillen left Tesla, that was actually a big loss and caused all kinds of speculations related to the future of the Semi. The short sellers like @patrickcomack were thrilled as it only meant the Semi was fake. 🀑 Image
The many delays of the Semi meant that several competitors were able to bring their electric Semis to market before Tesla. Seeing these news articles, the short sellers were quick to tweet that competitors beat Tesla to the market. Here's an example from @ShortingIsFun 🀑 ImageImage
Unfortunately, $TSLAQ were not happy with news articles like these. They just loved to point out that Tesla Semi did not exist. It's just funny that the vehicle in the article didn't exist either if prototypes don't count. 🀭 Image
What is also funny is that the Semi competitors were always legit and better than Tesla, but when Tesla Semi's specs were discussed, those were always impossible and pure lies. Here's @heikki_bear reminding how Daimler boss said the specs defied the laws of physics. 🀑 Image
Here's Daimler's own @WPipperger sharing his expertise. 🀑 Image
$TSLAQ #DumDums retweeted a lot the video from @thunderf00t, the long-time Tesla & Elon hater, where he tried to debunk those 'impossible' specs.🀑 ImageImage
Here's again @BradMunchen, @MyTsla and @KawasakiKR11.🀑 ImageImageImage
Fake specs or not, according to Tesla short sellers, it didn't matter as the truck would not have demand anyways. No customer would approve the delivery of the Semi due to terrible quality.🀑 Image
... or by being not commecially viable🀑 Image
... or because of not accepting "fraud" as innovation. πŸ˜„ Image
I can't remember if Tesla ever released the reservation numbers, but there were lots of news articles about companies making reservations for the Semi. The short sellers were counting these and reached the conclusion that there were not a lot of orders. 🀑 ImageImage
According to $TSLAQ dictionary, the word "vaporware" means the product Tesla has revealed but not mass produced yet. Here's @agusnox with an example how to use it. 🀑 ImageImage
Seems I reached the limit of how many tweets I can have in this thread. I'll continue on this tomorrow with a new set of $TSLAQ's Semi tweets by replying to this thread. See you then! 😎
Dumping some more Semi tweets from the lovely $TSLA short sellers. Skipping the commentary for now. Enjoy. 🀭 ImageImageImageImage

Ok and here's the final batch of Semi tweets. And I'll start with one of the best ones. Take a look at this gem from @PolitiReality πŸ˜„ Image
@PolitiReality And what about this one?πŸ˜„ Several $TSLAQ #DumDums complained about Semi's fast 0-60 time. It doesn't necessarily mean that kids are using Semis in drag races.πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Image
@PolitiReality That concludes the Semi special. I hope you enjoyed it. I will definitely cover $TSLAQ's thoughts on the Semi in detail in the $TSLAQ book I'm working on. If you'd like to support my work and the book project, please check out my Patreon page. πŸ™‚

In honor of Giga Berlin-Brandenburg delivering its first Tesla Model Ys, here's a collection of old predictions from our $TSLAQ friends.🀑
Let's start with the king of the clowns, @TESLAcharts. Apparently Tesla couldn't afford to build this factory and all work that was done was just to create headlines and pump up the stock price.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
Here's @fly4dat, who thought that the factory would most likely be cancelled as there is no demand in Europe and competition is coming.🀭 Can't wait to see what the European sales numbers are in a year from now!

Well, the Q1 results were not the disaster $TSLAQ #DumDums promised. But at least their predictions were disastrous. Here's a few for you to enjoy!
Let's start from January and with the prediction of @BradMunchen. Luckily we got the whole epidemic as it must have saved $TSLA from the absolute shit show.πŸ€”
I'm a bit confused with @WillBarkley4's bad to very bad scale, as there must be "Good" somewhere between...πŸ€”

FROM GIGAFRIEND TO GIGAFOE

The story of @realChaoZhou and $TSLAQ.
January:

In January @realChaoZhou started documenting the construction of Gigafactory 3 in China. Amused by the so-called Mudfactory, $TSLAQ quickly became followers and friends of Chao.
February 1/2:

Excited about his new friends, @realChaoZhou started also using their $TSLAQ tag and the compliments kept coming.

How @TeslaCharts tricks you:

This is a serious and important message!
So @TeslaCharts tweeted this chart to @CitronResearch today claiming $TSLA Model S is a dead platform. Let's look into this and see whether there's any truth to this claim.
1) Why did he use Netherlands' sales data?
Well, because from Jan 1 2019, BiK tax went from 4% to 22% for EVs over €50,000. This of course affected the sales of expensive EVs like Model S. Here's a comparison of Jaguar I-Pace sales data from Q4 to Q1 Jan + Feb in Netherlands.
2) Netherlands' BiK tax change did not have the same effect to cheaper EVs. This can be seen from Netherlands' February sales data, where Tesla Model 3 was the most sold EV. Thus using Netherlands data for his Model S chart is very questionable.
