“Tesla�€™s problem is $30 bbl crude and $1.40 gas.”

Tesla's problems are batteries and an insatiable cash burn rate.

And a car that sells for eighty grand. Not for the average Chevy buyer who might care about gas prices. The Tesla buyer and market is the same market as those who favor eight mile per gallon land yachts and hummers. They are unfazed by high gas prices.

“Tesla’s problem is $30 bbl crude and $1.40 gas.”

Arguable. Hard to see how people that are willing to spend an extra $50k or so for a Tesla will care whether gas costs an extra $2/gallon.

Tesla’s marketing specifically pointed to how you would save money when gas went to $6 per gallon. Sales have to be a lot tougher at current gas prices.

Musk must be one of the biggest supporters of Obama’s $10/barrel tax. It was probably his idea.
