Elon Musk is a genius and a visionary who is very good at pi$$ing away other people's money.

Musk has done great R & D here. Problem is R & D doesn’t make a business.

“Tesla’s problem is $30 bbl crude and $1.40 gas.”
Arguable. Hard to see how people that are willing to spend an extra $50k or so for a Tesla will care whether gas costs an extra $2/gallon.

Tesla’s marketing specifically pointed to how you would save money when gas went to $6 per gallon. Sales have to be a lot tougher at current gas prices.
Musk must be one of the biggest supporters of Obama’s $10/barrel tax. It was probably his idea.

people that are willing to spend an extra $50k or so for a TeslaDealers need to make sure they also get a picture of the look on the face of Tesla owners on what they have to spend on a new battery.

“A new 85kw pack will cost $25,000 today with talk about lower costs later.”
So now we start to SWERVE into the facts, as opposed to the fiction and emotion attached to these vehicles.
If a battery pack lasts 100,000 miles and costs $25,000, that means the cost to drive is 25 cents per mile, plus the cost of the power to recharge it.
That’s a lot of money and it also explains why no electric car company is willing to swap-out batteries (as opposed to making sit around for hours waiting for a charge)...as they would have to factor-in that depreciation.
...and once that depreciation is understood, then it’s over for people bragging about the economics.

Without the billions from government, Elon Musk would be considered a daydreamer, at best. Or, a very, very good bull shiit artist
