And from V8 land yachts to tiny turbo 4 cyl hatchbacks from Japan.

Fake. There were no cell phones back then. How could someone possibly have taken a video.

Funny, I know of many in the OEMs that have been contacted by recruiters from Tesla...

It’ll be an ad from bring a trailer which will be scant on the details, have 4 grainy pictures from messed up angles shot with a smartphone held vertically and will end with “ran when parked”.

It’s a cool build, but people have been modifying Hondas since Jesus was born*. There are quite a few 600hp eg hatches running around**.

I know it’s in Spain but I can’t wait for this to show up on NP/CP in a few years

because it is a Tesla, quickly becoming an automotive punch line.

So they are at least 100x ahead of where investors thought they would be? So those investors, which pushed the market cap of Tesla higher than GM, expected them to produce only 22 cars last quarter?

Time for Musk to learn the age old lesson, under promise, then be a hero by over delivering, or at least look competent by fulfilling the original promise. Another good lesson is to study how well its working for Trump to scold reporters and make enemies of the press. Bad situations only get worse when you lose your…

The thing is, they needed to raise billions to fund R&D and to build factories. Raising that much via private equity is difficult.

I did, but sadly it seems I’m not the first. I hereby return 1 (one) interweb.

If you just made up that word you own the inter web,

Who knew that making cars was hard?

Tesla’s advertised prices (unlike GM’s) do not include tax credits.

Musk is the asshole that 2 years ago bragged in an interview that he won’t hire engineers from traditional automakers except maybe Aston Martin. This was when Aston Martin was using a powertrain that was close to 20 years old without major updates.

All of this to me just says that maybe Tesla shouldn’t have gone mass market to begin with. They had a niche with boutique EV’s for rich people. Let the big boy handle the mass market EV’s. Every report on the Model 3 makes it look bleaker and bleaker.

The arrogance of the tech elite is apparent here.

Cancel now so that you have a chance of receiving your deposit back before Chapter 7.

After deciding that its analytic tools are top-notch and will tell it everything it needs to know, Tesla is skipping the “beta” phase of the Model 3’s development cycle.

My advice to anyone with a reservation is to cancel it now. otherwise you will be old and senile by the time the car is delivered, if it ever is and by then cars will be running on piss and farts...
