Pretty funny how Musk is so polarizing and the company is so heavily scrutinized, they make the best cars in the US.
If you mean funny 'odd', I would say not really. Musk is an outrageous celebrity CEO. He is also a d#@&%ebag with a cult following.
If you are the first new car company in the US for, what?, 70+ years, that in itself will get scrutiny. Add in that Tesla is a leading technology firm in the relatively new market for electric sport cars... A perfect storm.
I hope Tesla survives the storm. As far as Musk is concerned, I'm like whatever, dude.

I guess Elon didn’t figure anybody in Seattle would buy a Model 3, huh?

Reilly, you need to put the number down, up 5% down 13% don't mean jack to futurarians. It closed today at 298.92 -that's the number that really matters. Not to Moose, he's in at 30 and doesn't want to pay the taxes if he sold.
That's a great video of the trunk design, LOL.

What's his tax liability?
BTW, we are on the same page re: Teslas stock price. TOOth, MOOse and I are on the same page of wishing (hoping) that they have wild success and change the world in a huge positive manner.
Best to you sir

I'm not, nor have I ever just blamed anyone.
I came out of the auto industry, I want & we need change. But not change for change sake.
If people are unwilling to hear the negative we will never get it right.

I got it right. No emissions car from no emissions utility using minerals mined in Canada where the only child labour happening is with my kids.
The worst child labour I saw was in Guyana. Flew a Cessna a couple hours from a road to a grass strip. Hiked another couple hours to where a mining operation is using kids to sort through the scrap pile of mercury to see what gold it pulled out or fell off of the felt mat. Gold used in your cell phone and computer. Kids were offering me handfuls if gold for my shoes. I did dentistry for them. My friends live there and I’m returning for a sixth time in a row this year. If I learned anything there or Haiti or anywhere else I’ve worked around ‘child labour ‘ is that those thinking they are ethically superior come in wanting to impose righteousness and usually end up doing more harm than good. The way to enact change isn’t to rip away employment but build the economy and introduce education and options once the option to take time away from feeding themselves is in place. Just something to think about.

Almost got run over in Vons parking lot yesterday by some as#@&%e in a Model 3.
If you're saving the world it's OK to speed through parking lots, huh?

Sigh.
Technology does not and cannot makes the world a better place. You’re getting ethics mixed up with science. It might look like the two are causally connected, but that’s a sense of modern idealism.
I understand how one can have a bleeding heart. It’s a world of scarce resources. No matter what the technology or organizing, one cannot create new energy. It’s a kind of zero sum game. One robs Peter to pay Paul.

Just doing my patriotic part to keep the economy moving. I am also partial to eating regularly.
Just did my bit to help my cousins and booked a trip to Olde Blighty.

I think electric cars should be required to make gasoline engine noise.
Silent cars are way more dangerous for pedestrians. They are bad news for seeing-eye dogs also.

I think he's full of sh#t and a huckster. Perhaps he is trying to convince us that we are in a simulation because it makes it easier to swallow moving into the virtual world, or another simulation. Have you seen the haptic feedback suit? I see his dystopian vision of the future and I don't like it.

Moosie, I want a prediction for tomorrow’s earnings report. How is Elon gonna sugar coat another quarterly loss and is he gonna get out his personal checkbook to pay off the $922 million bond due in 2 months? The market could hammer you tomorrow!
