Tesla is a start-up company. Notice how the troglodites line up against Tesla and poo poo it's success. If it were a Chinese company, I'm sure they'd applaud it's success (being anti-American they are..).Tesla will rule and do very well (with or without the purchase "subsidy", which Musk had little or nothing to do with).

"The only way to stop this craziness is for the company to stop making cars"

ILSHIAPIMP. Buggy makers were saying that over 100 years ago.

But like all cons Musk games the taxpayer.

Do I detect sour grapes on your part??

:)

Have a friend who has the Sport version of the Roadster who lives about 14 miles away. It's pretty impressive with a 0 to 60 time of 3.6 seconds. He purchased one of the last Roadsters off the production line.. I'm jealous because the stock Roadster only does 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds!

Some Roadster owners have gone over 400 miles on a single charge.

Lots of fun.

No gasoline required!

THE biggest killer of electric car sales is the cost of increased house and liability insurance. There is a real threat of your house burning down, and your neighbours suing you when their house burns down too because of a battery fire in the car while parked in the garage. Frankly, I am surprised that insurance companies will even offer house insurance to anyone who owns a telsa and parks it in their garage.
