Tesla: The Knives Come Out, Stock Drops 8% (TSLA)

Boy folks can be harsh. The stock is trading at $40.80 -$3.54‎ (-7.98%‎).
From yesterday's Noon EDT "UPDATED--Today's Tesla Motors Announcement and Social Media (TSLA)":
The stock is trading up 30 cents at $44.26. I'm guessing that after yesterday's 15.9% pop we might be looking at a "Buy on mystery/sell on history" move.
Unless of course Musk announces he's terminating the Mercedes agreement, buying Audi, and merging the rocketship company into the mix....
Which was followed by "Tesla: Yawn (TSLA)":
A financing program?
Elon, Elon...underpromise, overdeliver, not overpromise...

The perils of social media exposed.

The stock is off 55 cents at $43.79.
And I thought I was being rough on the guy.
