as always i appreciate your feedback, there is much to consider here.

my bull thesis is largely predicated on tesla being able to maintain their infrastructure. so this is kind of a new territory situation for me, plus im still collecting data obviously. eg; the guy reporting the broken shit is on a cross country trip, meaning hes passing through a lot of rural areas where people could/would be inclined to kill a sixer of schlitz and epoxy a supercharger plug for lulz. but i do feel bullish and emotionally id rather see my profits vanish than book a small win and miss out on the next sky run, especially since i consider tesla potentially well positioned to resist a broader market correction... as opposed for example to AAPL which seems particularly bloated and a perfect example of a stock thats going to get crushed when the bubble bursts.

but yeah, just thinking out loud really, pretty sure im still on the train.
I wouldn't worry too much about anecdotal accounts of problems here or there. If widespread issues arise that's a different story.

You could always pare your holdings by 10-25% and take some profits that way while still maintaining your core position.
