LOLWUT, damn son, you’re not the brightest hydro-powered bulb.

The buck stops here, in this wheel well.

Pretty inane comparison. Money is useless if you just store it in a vault somewhere, or for that matter burn it. Using money to build factories and production lines and pay the salaries of engineers and factory employees is not wasting the money, the money hasn’t been flushed into the sewers or burnt for heat, the…

A Ponzi scheme by definition doesn’t produce anything. Producing stuff with money folks give you is just running a business, even if Tesla is getting a little bit creative with pre-orders that’s no different than the huge projects that go on Kickstarter or Indiegogo to get more funds early on. Even Bose recently ran…

This. Also important to note that they’re a growth company, relying on speculative “early stage” investors to fund their rapid expansion, competing against entrenched incumbents that were built incrementally and slowly over 50+ years with huge financial backing from the traditional banking community. Add on top of…

Survived this last night on my way to visit my daughter in Riverside.

Coal only provides 90% of power in poor areas, like WV, where nobody drives an EV anyways. Coal is on the way out. This is a moot argument. All you’re saying is we should invest in clean energy.

I still think Tesla’s end game is being a battery company first. Then a car company. I think that is why they built their giga factory. That’s why they opened the patents. So other manufacturers will use their batteries and charging network.

Putting words together in a sentence don’t make them a fact.

How many “ponzi schemes” are building a large factory to build products with?

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think.

That is such a lie. It’s obnoxious to watch people spread disproven myths.

This is nothing like what you’re talking about because overall, Tesla is still a drop in the proverbial bucket. If Tesla fails on its own, it will be a bad day for the market, and other companies will pick up it’s assets. It’s a bigger risk, but it’s treated as such by institutional investors.

Depends were you live.

To be fair, ICE cars are losing their range as they sit there, engines running.

It’s not like the 720S is just a drag only machine either...I think the comparison is valid.

I think a lot of my difficulty with riding while drunk is how poorly most people drive. A modern autonomous vehicle will probably be much smoother than my buddy pushing 120 in a 45 and trying to dart in-and-out between passing semi’s.

a car’s measured quickness shouldn’t be ingored though.

Er, um... what about the New Tesla Roadster? Did anybody get their hands on it, and measure those numbers? I don’t want rumors, but I’d like those verified. The 720s is almost on the same price tag of the Tesla.

The deadly spikes.
