The key will be if batteries can deliver the announced range ( Volvo said 400 KM ) for the 12 year average life cycle of a modern car, or at least its equivalent cost over that life cycle without subsidies.

Tesla seeks $1.5 billion in junk bonds to fund Model 3 production


Following the announcement, Standard & Poor's reaffirmed its negative outlook for the automaker and assigned a "B-" rating for the bond issue - deep into junk credit territory.

They built a whopping 260 cars in the whole quarter but only 220 were deliverable? Seriously? Ford made 4000 F150s per day in March!

I got to hover alongside a DeLorean on the freeway this morning. I don't remember them being so low to the ground! I don't think there's even room for an electric motor in there!

I did feel a bit transported. The car was even a bit grimy - maybe so as not to attract too much attention!

The folk-rock singer David Crosby ran over a jogger with his Tesla over here in Santa Ynez last year.

The Jogger said he couldn't hear the car coming.

David said the sun was in his eyes.

I give it another year before some California Assembly person writes a bill requiring Electric cars to have deer whistles - make that people whistles.

Is Tesla the new Bitchcoin?

Tesla's unfettered ambition to drain finances: analysts
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-truck-research/teslas-unfettered-ambition-to-drain-finances-analysts-idUSKBN1DH1M4

“Tesla spent $1.1 billion on its auto business in the third quarter, and expects expenses of $1 billion in the current one. It had about $3.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents at the end of Sept. 30.
At the current cash-burn rate, it would likely be down to about $1 billion in cash by the end of the first quarter.
In essence, all last night's event did was add to Elon Musk's shopping list of things he needs to spend money on at a time when the company is having difficulty making its base vehicle (Model 3)," Cowen analyst Jeffrey Osborne.“

“The point of doing this is to give a hardcore smackdown to gasoline cars,” said Musk at the launch. “Driving a gasoline sports car is going to feel like a steam engine with a side of quiche.”

Build fast, fix later: speed hurts quality at Tesla, some workers say
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-quality-insight/build-fast-fix-later-speed-hurts-quality-at-tesla-some-workers-say-idUSKBN1DT0N3

At Tesla "so much goes into rework after the car is done ... that's where their money is being spent," a former Tesla supervisor said.

Tesla owners have complained on web forums of annoying rattles, buggy software and poor seals that allow rainwater to seep into the interior or trunk.

Good question, Guy. It breaks down into basically two parts. One are the tax breaks Musk has conned various gubmint entities into for the ‘honor’ of letting him build Teslas. Then there are the tax breaks the rich stiffs get for buying one. Can’t give you numbers off the top of my head but they are substantial in both cases.

For a good laugh I ran some numbers: Ford builds more F150s in half an hour than Tesla has built of their new Model 3 in 4 MONTHS! LOL
(I know, the F150 ain’t gonna save the world)
