I feel personally vindicated. Extremely satisfied and I will tell you why.
March of 2018 is when we placed our order for my first Tesla – Model X. After years of contemplation and saving we finally bit the bullet. And as my daughter puts it, “ Daddy gave himself a huge birthday gift !!! “
he said “ if it’s not too late cancel the order “
Well you could say that. But it was for her as well. It was a family car and it was The Family’s car.
One in which we’re gonna ( yes we have been having ) have the most fun.
But one of the first calls was from a good mate of mine, who had heard from another mate that I had placed an order for a Tesla.
The Mrs heard the conversation as well and she was quite upset, coz we had been saving for over four years to make this investment.
I vividly remember the call. He was on speaker phone and we were driving to Sydney from Wollongong. And he was really serious when he asked “ mate, have you actually paid for the car “
I said, “ no, not yet “
he said “ if it’s not too late cancel the order “
I was aghast. I asked with as even a voice as if could muster “ what the story mate, I think it’s a good car “
he said “ that maybe the case, but with the crazy CEO at the helm, the company is gonna go bust in a matter of months “
The Mrs heard the conversation as well and she was quite upset coz we had been saving for over four years to make this investment.
Until then I had never looked at the FUD machine in earnest. Coz I knew that they were just that – FUD and nothing more.
But after that mate’s call I saw it in new light. Then I knew that FUD worked coz it had reached the ears of lay people. And when it cane from seemingly reputable institutions ( you know who they are ) then it does share the mind-space. And the masses actually believe that it is true. Dangerous !
That was when I consolidated my belief in Tesla.
I looked hard at the FUD machine.
And that was about the time when I started my YouTube channel. Firstly to help as many Aussie folks as possible to make a transition to an electric vehicle and preferably a Tesla coz they were far ahead of the competition in every single way.
And secondly to bust them FUDs.
And when my Model X ( SuperMan ) arrived in June of 2018, I was completely enamoured by its ability and to this day I can’t seem to understand why some folks have blind hate for the vehicles.
And secondly to bust them FUDs.
It did take a while for the Mrs to come through but that she did and now she drives a Model S ( Wonder Woman )
And earlier this year ( 2019) I took the next bold step – to invest in TSLA.
That is huge for a person like me who had no clue about stock market or shares and that too in an American company and not an Aussie.
But I feel my journey was complete.
I have invested my hard earned money in a company I strongly believe is gonna change the world.

But today 23.12.2019 I feel vindicated coz the stocks have reached the number which caused the tumble …. $420
