Those are transfer gears they better last at least 1 million miles.
And for those of you that think you know something of economics here is a copy of the discussion that went along with that story.
Russell- with reliability like that, who would want to own any other car besides a Tesla.
Illuminati- Maybe a father of thee that makes $35,000 a year.
RM- Actually a father of three that earns $200,000 per year...I can not justify the purchase of a Tesla... kids are expensive.
& I haven't even started on the true cost of manufacturing these cars much less the environmental damage being done at the front end of manufacturing.

If any shareholder gives money to Tesla and is surprised by any of these antics they are an idiot. Elon and his leadership and lack of skills and/or strengths are no secret. Expecting Tesla to fall in line and be a stock comparable to ViaRail or something is just ignorant.

"Citron is long Tesla as the Model 3 is a proven hit and many of the TSLA warning signs have proven not to be significant," said Left in a blog post Tuesday. "Plain and simple – Tesla is destroying the competition."
"TSLA is not just pulling customers from BMW and Mercedes but also from Toyota and Honda. Like a magic trick, while everyone is focused on Elon smoking weed, he is quietly smoking the whole automotive industry,

Oh they have been. Whether or not Tesla continues to do so and then on a much bigger scale is for the future to tell.
The best competition to the S was set to come out from audi - the eTron, or Turd in French. News is that they are delaying. Software needs a reboot and their battery suppliers want more money. There goes their price competition. Maybe securing your own supply chain or building your own battery modules and packs yourself like Tesla isn’t such a bad idea after all.

$312MM profit this quarter. Six and a half billion in sales.
Construction has begun on the GF In China. Should be making things (250,000 cars) next year and half a million cars the year after. So in three years a million Tesla’s a year.
And my car got another update - I love the product.

live you dream
And tweet criminally while arrogantly dismissing the rule of law.
You can’t have it both ways.

^^^^^ from the article
“In other words, people who say it can’t be done should stop interrupting those who are doing it.”
Ditto!
I was told many times to stop dreaming, settle for less, stop swimming against the current, etc.
That what happens when you have a vision. People try to pull you down to their level. They will call you stupid, unrealistic, lunatic, arrogant.
Don’t listen to them, live you dream. When you are successful, they will come back. Let them, maybe they can learn something.

Absolutely. Any American that hates their job and dreams of becoming a self-made billionaire should immediately quit their job and create a start-up. Ignore the nattering nabobs of negativity. They are no more than a minor interruption to your success.

Probably a good idea... but it won't work. That'd be like trying to control Trump's twitter feed.

$2.7 Billion of TSLA’s debt is due in the next 12 months and the yields are still climbing.
Hard for the best accountants to write that sh!t off (especially with yields pushing 9%!) and with federal subsidies phasing out their competitive advantage is dwindling.
