Heh... by 2024, estimates are that Tesla will sell 10% of the cars sold in the US. Even with subsidies, the Big Three couldn’t build an electric car that the public wanted to buy.
Tesla’s Shanghai plant went from bare ground to auto production in ten months. Deliveries to customers started this week.
The next plant is going in near Berlin.
I suspect that the fourth plant will be built in India.
IMHO, Henry Ford — though he was a hideous Jew-hater — transformed world society more than anyone in history. In a way, Musk is merely changing the way cars get around. But he’s also transforming access to space, wants to colonize Mars (and I doubt this will actually work, but I’ve been wrong about him before), wants to bore tunnels to carry traffic, AND, he’s having more fun than anyone I’ve ever seen.

btw, hilarious that Cramer uses the $150 rise figure for when he got bullish on Tesla. That was THIRTY DAYS ago.
And see messages 52&53.

Eventually everyone who predicts the End of the World will be right. Meanwhile, ya gotta eat.

Porsche, one of those much-vaulted “real” automakers, has an electric model, and its claimed range turned out to be, uh, exaggerated.

Phase 2 Of Tesla Gigafactory 3 Will House Battery Manufacturing Facility
October 16th, 2019 by Steve Hanley
According to a report by Chinas Global Times, Tesla has completed construction of the parts of its Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai that will be dedicated to producing automobiles. Now it has begun work on phase 2 of the factory, which will house a battery manufacturing facility. The report does not make clear whether this space will be used to make battery packs from cells sourced from outside suppliers or whether it is intended for cell production as well.
