So tesla doesn't have 420,000 back orders and no one else is making electric vehicles?
I would say their competitors are anyone who can get an electric vehicle to you faster even if the competitions cars don't go 130mph and 200 miles on a charge.

Having 420,000 unfilled orders and no way to fill them in a timely manner is a huge problem.
I wouldn't consider over 1.5 years timely no matter how you stretch or spin it.

Plus "If nothing is wrong", then why did musk tweet saying that Goldman Sachs agreed to give tesla a loan, then Goldman Sachs had a press release yesterday saying no such deal had been made?
Which is funny because Goldman Sachs is well know for making risky and other wise bad loans, then says no to tesla? What does that look like?
