Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Kyle Woodley]

  The short, sucky answer? A lot:

  Plans for a Gigafactory meant to produce millions of electric-car batteries ginned up excitement, but also raised eyebrows. The Wall Street Journal reported on skepticism in the space — including from heads at Volkswagen (VLKAY) and battery maker Highpower International (HPJ). Now, even planned investment partner Panasonic (PC) now sounds iffy on the project, with company Kazuhiro Tsuga saying “the investment risk is definitely larger.” Not good. There also was Teslas direct sales snafu. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie huffed and puffed and (on March 11) successfully blew down Teslas direct sales model, with the Motor Vehicle Commission approving a measure to enforce an already-existing ban on direct sales. On the flip side, Tesla has scored victories in New York and Ohio in the past month, and is making progress in Arizona (which has a little incentive on the board). Production of the Model X has been pushed further back, to 2015. Musk’s reasons — mostly having to do with focusing on bolstering Model S sales — are valid, but that doesnt really soften the blow of a longer wait for the much-anticipated addition to Teslas line. To address the issue of battery fires in the Model S, TSLA added titanium shields and aluminum deflector plates to new vehicles and offered to install them for free in all its existing cars. Teslas margins are excellent, and theres no hard number on the cost impact of the fix, but titanium aint cheap. This definitely isnt going to add to Teslas bottom line. What Now?

  I wont belabor you with my bullish position on TSLA stock, but if you want, you can see it here. In short, Musk is a genius; Tesla ! products ! are quality and appeal to (and are priced for) the all-important luxury segment; and just given size and scale, TSLA has oh-so-much room to grow.
