That Roadster is insane. He could sell a nerfed version of it and people would still want it. Though if it's a 2+2 configuration, the term "roadster" might be a bit of a misnomer and I remember the last time there was an argument on Hubski about what constitutes a sports car and I think Musk is trying to bring up bad blood. Edit: Damn. That $200,000 price tag is insane for that kind of performance.
Turns out you can pre-order a limited run of 1000 'Founders Edition' Roadsters now, as in Tesla want your money now and you may get a car later: In other words, Tesla will have $250 million next week without much effort. If Musk's biography is anything to go by, it means Tesla really needs money right now.
Dude. No lie. I've yet to see a Model 3 on the road. . . . Which means trucker jobs will probably be safe for a little while longer.In other words, Tesla will have $250 million next week without much effort. If Musk's biography is anything to go by, it means Tesla really needs money right now.
Last I saw, which was admittedly overt a month ago, the only Model 3 deliveries had been to special customers and not Joe Blow. Do you know if that's changed? It's disappointing.
From what I understand, they're having all sorts of hinks in their constructing of the cars so around this time, they were supposed to be pumping out like 5,000 a week but that number is closer to a couple hundred. I was talking to someone at work the other day and they said that the reason the first cars were going to employees was because they weren't too sure about build quality and reliability and that employees would be a good avenue at addressing those problems before going to the public and embarrass themselves (kind of like what happened with the Model X). I can't imagine much has changed, because if so, I probably would have seen at least one, even if only in passing.
