Speaking of 'car' stocks (of course Tesla is much more than that); anyone opt in for Ferrari (trade symbol RACE) or once gain too much hype?

Hopefully the comments about more focus on ease of build, on-time launch, cost etc. for the Model 3 mean that Falcon Wing doors, especially for the CUV version (Model Y or whatever) are now dead.

Momentum reversal today? Guy on CNBC says every time in the past when they've done an offering to raise capital it comes back and makes a new high, so maybe that repeats. OTOH profitability concerns about model 3, can they make money on it?
