I would be rather perturbed if I had ordered a low cost model within the first 50K deposits - only to find out that everyone else with a higher end model gets theirs first and I get to wait an extra year or so... I guess Tesla doesn't believe in Queues, they just want to pick-and-choose who gets what and when!
Not really. Most VCs are looking for unicorns - companies that can reach a valuation beyond $1 billion. If you cannot reasonably build a market case to achieve that (and being a niche 3D headphone would not come anywhere close to that, given the ENTIRE headphone market is only worth $17 bilion), then 99% of all VCs will ignore you. No matter how good your idea or how well-developed the technology.
Damnit I can get pizza in 30 minutes, free 2 day shipping, and answer/watch anything I want in a matter of seconds on a cell phone. And now you tell me we have to wait thousands of years to finish this extinction thing? NOW NOW NOW!!!
I fully agree! Of course, I spent my $10K on a motorcycle, get 60 MPG on my bi-weekly rides to San Francisco, and never get stuck in traffic (thanks to lane sharing being legal in California)...:)
We suck... We're way behind the great Permian-Triassic extinction event, and there wasn't anything around back that as smart and technologically advanced as we are!
NUMMI was making cars 6 months before Tesla took it over. It was a fully-functioning factory when Tesla took over. They chose to change how it was being used; turns out, they should have just adapted the existing production lines...
Toyota has half the revenue per car, but crushes Tesla by selling so many vehicles that people buy. They sell more cars in one month than Tesla has ever shipped. Oh, and they actually make profit on that revenue as well. Tesla? Do they make a profit? Revenue is great if you're a "wish and a prayer" startup, but when does Tesla grow up, put on their big-boy pants, and start focusing on profit?
It's OK - it has Autopilot, so you don't need to keep your eyes on the road, you can stare at the screen as you work your way though the menus and touch panel to select what you want!
Sort of reminds me of the situation with the Model 3 production in general. The whole thing was heavily moved forward to an extremely aggressive schedule, then fell back to its original schedule
When was the published schedule EVER set to be deliveries in any reasonable quantity starting in late Q2/early Q3 (at best) 2018?

And DON'T tell them that FCA stock has out-performed TSLA stock over the last few years. While actually turning a profit, no less!

White flags broke out across the country.
Create many different Pandora streams. Then you can use the Pandora app to randomly mix those as well... That's an easy way to get a LOT of variety.
The higher you go - the closer to the volcano you get. That's the way the lava flows!
It's only logical... If YOU had a big thick pipe rammed into your side, wouldn't you be upset?
Well duh, just look at a globe they're on the top of the world, the lava always flows away, downhill!

And you have to identify your custom pair of headphones by a blockchain...

One wing prop stunt plane landing safely as well!
Consumer Reports seems to say the control cluster sucks as well...
However, you can at least buy a Bolt today. Want to go out and get a Model 3? You have to wait 6 to 12 months...
He meant virtue signalling, which some this is also cool...

Quite appropriate.
So how does that apply to States having different laws regarding regulation of the 2nd Amendment?
Like the wipers?
NUMMI was making cars in 2010 for Toyota. So I guess Toyota ripped everything down and trashed the joint before they sold it to Tesla?

So the same proportional numbers give $62K income needed to afford the base $35K model, which is spot on.
So when do those affordable base models start shipping?

A new Tesla, available today? My, that must piss off all those folks on the waiting lists!
