Does that include benefits or do you want benefits in addition to the $$$$?
Except for four doors, it’s an exact copy!.....Somebody been playin’ wit photoshop at Tesla.........
In other news, Rolls Royce said it would need at LEAST $2 billion to continue producing its most expensive models, those over $400,000.
Percy Lungasp, Director of Marketing at Saudi Rolls Inc., said, “One simply cannot get decent coachwork for less than $300,000 these days and for quality, one must pay up.”
When the interviewer suggesteed that the luxury cars were not very “green” Lungasp seized the poor fellow by the collar and threw him into street, saying, “You can find plenty of green autos here, and red and blue too!”.
Rolls Royce will be seeking funds from the U.S. soon to allow them to put a thicker plating of platinum on the engine blocks and under carriage to increase sales.
The weather is next.
Hahaha that pictures about right, a “cool” car surrounded by the only people who can remotely justify the rediculous cost for no real benefit... old stodgies.
And that’s exactly it: if the feds are handing out big bucks to those who merely ask, then get in line! Talk up a good line, persuade the keepers of the treasury to hand some of it over - talk is cheap, especially if free money is to be had. Make up a good story and get richly rewarded for it. Of course the automakers will ask for no-strings-attached bailout money...
I think I can manage to do my own benefits at $10 mil. / yr. :-)
Asking for public funds? The greatest genius of the 20th century Nikola Tesla would never approve.
