...the company is still in its infancy, produces only one model, is struggling to deploy its specialized and costly “Supercharger” network, has apparently abandoned its battery “quick-swapping” scheme , and is only a year away from its emancipation from its $465 million stimulus loan – which at least one analyst said it had to repay because of failures to reach earnings and loan ratio milestones.

I am constantly thunderstruck at how many people are irrationally enthralled by Elon Musk and Tesla. They have received half a billion in taxpayer money and still have almost nothing to show for it. Never before has so little been built around so much hype.

Tesla, the company, is absolutely adored by Progressives. And, I have read where Tesla is very, very heavy-handed towards any publication that dares speak an ill word of Tesla or Musk.

Yep, he knows how to hype to his advantage. Though the Model S is a decent car from what I’ve read it’s a wealthy mans car and as yet Tesla is not profitable.

They only have the #1 best selling luxury sedan in the US ...
