But you go out and buy a $70,000 pick-up and no one bats an eye.

If only there were a standard measurement system with which the dimensions of these cars could be compared...

He spent the effort to put it on ebay but won’t sell it for even 500 less. Sometimes you just have to be realistic.

Tesla’s credit ratings are junk status.

Mmmmmm, yes. The most dynamic of all the petitions.

I agree with you that it makes poor fiscal sense to drop a sizable chunk of change on a car that’s got a long way to go on its downward spiral. Still, I think that at $24K, these cars do offer a unique proposition. The ELR is pretty good looking and it’s got all that cool tech.

Fair, but seeking to pitch himself as a whistleblower exposing a potential violation of SEC disclosure rules—which offers significant rewards to him—casts suspicion on his motivation to me.

The goal is to trailer it to car shows in your local park wherein you’ll tell everyone who walks by that:

It reminds you of Toyota because you don’t understand how market manipulation laws work. 

“Well the back fell off.”

Carriages, you filthy colonial ragamuffin, carriages!
