the author of this story needs to invest his life savings in tesla if he feels this strongly . . .

I heard today that Tesla Stock has doubled!
My thought was, It’s Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoCal Pubbie]

We’re losing money on every sale, but we’ll make it up in volume!

[blueunicorn6]

Why, everyone I talk to wants to buy a Tesla car. It’s the main topic of discussion for most Americans. That and how can we cover for Obama’s stupid cronyism politics.

[KSCITYBOY]

LOL

You owe me a keyboard.....

Article reminded me of the pump & dump days of market makers in boiler rooms.

“the author of this story needs to invest his life savings in tesla if he feels this strongly . . .”

That might not be a bad idea at all.

Elon Musk is doing a whole lot of things right. SpaceX is doing great, and Tesla is the first new car company in a long time to do this well.

Don’t drive into any deep water with it. Don’t leave it out in heavy rain.

I have seen ONE model s. Good looking car. stuff a 450 HP V8 in it and I’d buy one.

Till then, pass.

BTW I am surrounded by BMW and Benz cars daily.

Elon Musk is best buddies with Obama and the whole progressive elite oligarchs. Musk tore into a NYTs writer who test drove a Tesla and found the experience less than felicitous--and the writer was lucky to keep his job.

Musk really just wants money to support his SpaceX boondoggle, all the while pretending that SpaceX is private and not taxpayer-funded.

Beware--until the truth about Tesla gets out couple more years down the road. It may be a miracle, or it may be a big lie.

[Mamzelle]

Well, then go ahead and invest! See post above. I know a little about Musk and his antics. He’s got billions to risk, but somehow doesn’t risk his billions. Your tax money is going to him, just in a very circuitous way.

Tesla Motors is the love child of Liberals everywhere. They absolutely adore Tesla, even though it still hasn’t really produced much of anything after nearly a decade of promises (read: hype).

[EEGator]

The only good Tesla died in 1943.

"We’re losing money on every sale, but we’ll make it up in volume!"

Despite its recent dust-up with the New York Times, Tesla Motors told investors and the Securities and Exchange Commission that it sold about 250 more cars than the company had expected—more than 4,750 in total. As a result, “Tesla is amending its Q1 guidance to full profitability.” Tesla did not say precisely how much it had made, but the company will likely announce its first-quarter 2013 earnings next month.

Tesla sues those who write bad things about them.

[detective]

I don’t know of anyone who has bought this overpriced car that has a range of about 200 miles, needs almost a whole day to recharge and becomes worthless if the battery runs out. Huge taxpayer incentives to wealthy people who buy a $100,000 car is also a factor. I’m paying taxes to support every rich guy who buys one.

This is a good article on what happens if your Tesla battery runs down.

My diesel,which cost a lot less than the Tesla's $80K,has a range (on the highway) of about 800 miles at 70mph (40mpg-21 gallon tank),superior to the Tesla's 300 miles (at 55mph).My diesel can be "recharged" in about 5 minutes at any one of 30,000 "recharging" stations nationwide as opposed to the Tesla's 10 hours at any one of dozens of stations.

And I would choose a Tesla why?

[RedMonqey]

Give me a $7,500 car credit and I’ll buy a BMW, Mercedes, or Audi, too, forgot the Tesla...
