  1. so what? What are you bi-polar on this?

    Michigan is now a GOP state that hates to work. So, no, it makes little sense.

  3. yeah, but there is a on-going war against Musk by the GOP and top conservatives like the kock bros. They all want to stop him because he is about to cut America's oil needs IN HALF (i.e. we will no longer import in 2-3 years due to Tesla and O's efforts).
    What is interesting is that this came up when Tesla stock grew within a week such that the shorters are losing 2.7 BILLION and if it climbs higher on Feb 20, then they stand to lose as much as 5B. That will poinpoint out all of those that are working on destroying Musk.

    Uh, why compare to average union shop and instead compare to the average non-union shops such as Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, etc.

    Actually, unions are still very needed in many industry. The problem is NOT unionization. The real issue is that most are the established ones that are corrupt and far more interested in flowing money to the top, just like businesses, than to the workers.

    Let that sink in to these ppl. Musk should also allow a union, as long as it is its own, and not with any of the current corrupt ones. If they do join, then stop with the stock options to them.

    Sigh. All 400,000+ MS will be delivered by end of 2018. Yes, if you order today, you will not get the 7500 tax break. OTOH, a number of states offer incentives for EVs.

    Relax. The first 70k or so will go to current Tesla owners. We know what to expect and check and will help solve the issues.

    The first lot of M3 go to those of us that already own Tesla's. We know what to expect and are perfect first owners on these. The first 70k ( and growing ) are just to current American owners . This same approach will likely be used on MY, and I expect that the first 500,000 of those will be Tesla owners ( since European production is expected to start next year ).

    Wrong. Tesla has one of the lowest that are required by law. Only 2 have been done. They have had 2 others that the feds did not require, but Tesla did on own .

    Actually, Tesla has not had but a few recalls ( and always dealing with suppliers ). IIRC, only 2 were required by feds. The other 2 were them playing safe. They do regularly make software updates that improves things, but these are not recalls.

    3 is NOT a smaller version of S. Lots of differences. One of the biggest, is inverting the production line, which should increase the quality a great deal.

    Because, Tesla, unlike other car makers, works with customers and corrects everything. Their customers service is night and day above regular car makers and I can only guess that rolls is the only one that either approaches or beats them.

    No, you are missing the pix. Next year, they will deliver a combined 100k S and X, with 400,00 to 700,000. Musk continues to up the number that they will produce of M3 due to major changes coming in the line.

    Actually , I would say that up to this point, musk has constantly bet the store on each model and won. With M3, that bet is gone, as long as he really brings up the quality, which I think he will. Even his approach to the line( inverting it ) and suppliers (bringing in-house quickly if they do not deliver ) is right on the mark. No, the bet is gone. By 2020, Tesla should be in top 10 car makers, and by 2025, in the top 5.

    Well, not just the liberals, but the far right have not bought telsa because they believe that musk is far left, and not the moderate libertarian that he is. In fact, it has been the GOP that have actively worked to destroy spacex, Tesla, and solar city.

    Tesla's show rooms, service centers, and super chargers are going up all America and Europe. By end of 2017, America and Europe will have supercharger network that covers every 200 miles or less. The only states that are not covered directly by service centers is where GOP are fighting it ( and that battle end with trump telling his brown shirts to knock off ). In Europe, Every nation that Tesla installs superchargers gets a showroom/service center ( and considering that most European nations are relatively small, that is amazing ). No, Tesla will be more than ready for this.
