You saved one keypress on the e but added at least two on the capital letters


If you're using the shift key, then "Tesla" is 6 keypresses whereas "TSLA" is only 4.5 (.5 since you don't technically have to release shift, which you can take advantage of in certain cases [0]).

Tesla and TSLA both require six keystrokes.


If you’re trading then TSLA is far more natural.


You took 79 key presses to point that out. And here I am taking even more to respond. Clearly commenting is not based purely on a keypress-based economical model.
