what I find laughable is the number of recs on Laz's posts bashing this company. Hahha. There is nothing to dislike about this Tesla car company, which receives NO government subsidies and and doing the traditional VC startup company approach to building a manufactured product for sale in US markets. Whats not to like? Apparently plenty- ahahha! When EXXON has a new discovery do those on this thread RELENTLESSLY BASH IT? No of course not. Because you secretly envision XOM as a sort of safe status quo company, one with red state ties, that promotes all these gas guzzling SUVs and other uber consumerism that you folks seem to admire... and this Tesla company scares the sh!t out of you! Its not like Tesla is going to put XOM out of business. They could start a revolution to electric vehicles though, and that would sure SUCK for XOM! If an SUV is a better vehicle for the masses at a better pricepoint/value then Tesla will go out of business, its just that simple. But remember, price alone is not the final arbiter just look at Apple vs. Dell right now. Apple is red hot, Dell not.

Sorry. I don't own any oil stocks. Wish I did. I'd sell them in a heartbeat. Although... It's going to take at least a decade to get off the oils habit. Minimum. Discoveries that like one recently made in the Gulf may drive the price down, but the guaranteed periodic outbreaks in the middle east are going to drive it back up again until a better power source is found. And those sources aren't going to be lithium batteries. Too expensive. If a battery can be developed with high capacity using a cheaper metal, it could change the whole equation. Or cheap biofuel could. But you're going NOWHERE with $100K cars.
