Musk has a bit of a blue tinge to his skin.

/ end irrelevant musing.
One could only hope that he crashes and burns spectacularly.

Too bad Nikola Tesla’s (Super... Genius...) memory is being marred by this boondoggle.

It was interesting that the NYTimes wrote that negative story about their unpleasant road trip in the Obama wondercar. All is not fraternal love in liberal land.

Last fall my buddy's daughter ordered the Tesla SUV and put down 5 grand deposit and it was supposed to be built in 2014. But they made her a deal on the sedan and she got it instead - last week.

The nearest dealer is 185 miles away, so they delivered it via a transporter to her house. She gets "free" juice at her employer and has a long commute. Will be interesting to see how the economics work out. The thing is plenty fast, 0-60 under 6 seconds. Looks very much like the latest Jaguar sedans.

Rumors are that Volkswagen, one of the first purchasers of the 100 thousand dollar gems, found about $140k worth of car and batteries! Usually such a product is a loss leader, although with free money from Uncle Sam, it’s not obvious where any profit would come from with Tesla.

Weren’t they supposed to $40-50k? Well, that’s the stripped models they’ll build later with 40-80 mile batteries! Current versions (for free PR test drives) are much more.

The celebs are gonna be mighty POed when the car dies as the paparazzi swarm them. When the video of some drunk celebutard kicking their Tesla on the side of the road hits the Net, Tesla is doomed.

A smart news org. should gift a Tesla to a Lohan or Campbell, maybe throw in a baseball bat, just to video what is bound to happen.
