Tesla is now worth more than GM and Ford combined.  And still paying its bills.

lol 6th best selling CAR for 3rd quarter of 2019 in a market where nobody is buying cars. Truly a world beater.

Honestly, if Ford does it right, they have nothing to worry about from Tesla. They’ve got their own electric F-150 in the works, are invested heavily in Rivian which will be targeted at a slightly different part of the market - the people who don’t want to buy a Ford, basically - and in the truck space they have brand

And as a corollary, since Tesla has spectacularly blown every production deadline it’s ever set.

Yeah, there was no way he was going to beat Merc and BMW at their own game and have the 6th best selling car in the USA. Dispite many states making it very difficult for Tesla.

subsidizes s the rest of the company. Way to put all your eggs in one basket, Ford. All it would take to kill Ford is a 25% loss in F150 sales to cripple, if not kill it.

This is a great idea.  Something like this could save windshields from being sandblasted on the freeway.

Make it so, Number Two.

Or the air in the room.

Counterpoint. We took a road trip to see my parents, 2000 miles round trip. Our Model 3 was fantastic.

Is that a Bentley?

Welcome to The Tar Tar pits.

It’s a case of form follows function.

Just like BlockBuster.

($43,895 base price, Ford says)

5 minutes to fill up (a great throughput) and 10 deep is close to an hour, once a week.

The difference is that for me, at least, I only need the Supercharger network a few times a year. The one and only time there was a line was Labor Day weekend at Quartzsite AZ at about 2 pm. It was about 1.5 hour wait in the Carl’s Jr. The other ones that weekend were ok. Quartzsite is between a lot of destinations.

They played everyone. Especially Ford. Ford looks like a pu$$y for making a challenge, then backing out after it was accepted. Ford Tough indeed. Musk played that YouTuber, Jalopnik, and million others because we are all talking about it. Next week when NDT certifies the win everyone will be watching. Musk is a genius

This one reason why a Cybertruck will probably be my 4th fully electric car. My Model 3 long range saw its range drop like a rock when it was left unplugged over night in the artic dead of winter in Prescott Arizona. I think I lost over 50 miles of range.
