>Paying customers are supporting Tesla through its production struggle -- they’ve put down more than $850 million in deposits for vehicles including the Semi truck and Roadster sports car Musk showed off in November. >“If we can send a Roadster to the asteroid belt, we can probably solve Model 3 production,” Musk said on a conference call with analysts Wednesday, shortly after tweeting another photo of his Roadster hurtling through space.
How, HOW the fuck did such a blatant con artist become a billionaire?

Hype the people that preorder the Model 3 are absolute idiots. Setting up a brand new factory is a logistical a nightmare and probably underestimated how much things needs to be tuned out before you even deliver a sufficient product. The panal gaps and crooked doors on Teslas are absolutely hilarious
John Myers
also the worker conditions are a nightmare, won't let the UAW in, fucking buying a factory to manufacture in COMMIEFORNIA
good luck tesla, the rust belt gonna destroy you tesla will only survive as a luxury brand if it survives
Liam Richardson
tesla is a ponzi scheme.

It's actually more like charity.

Yeah, its not like the rocket that carried it was innovative in any way. Why, I'm sure you could have done that rocket science with 3 boosters and calculating the dynamic stresses and fuel mixing and detaching in your sleep!
You just chose not to because you are a busy guy doing more important things.

A friend of mine is a mid level exec based out of their NorCal facility. Their management team is a fucking joke. They preach quality but really just push cars out. They are beyond behind promised production numbers. Their QA department is almost nonexistent which is why cars come back in DROVES. Anyone that buys cars from them is a fool.
Elon Musk doesn't care at all about Tesla and focuses on space. I can't imagine a company run this poorly lasting longterm.

>“If we can send a Roadster to the asteroid belt, we can probably solve Model 3 production" CGI Model 3's incoming

I N THE SUMMER OF 1994, Musk and his brother, Kimbal, took their first steps toward becoming honest-to-God Americans. They set off on a road trip across the country. Kimbal had been working as a franchisee for College Pro Painters and done well for himself, running what amounted to a small business. He sold off his part of the franchise and pooled the money with what Musk had on hand to buy a beat-up 1970s BMW 320i. The brothers began their trip near San Francisco in August, as temperatures in California soared. The first part of the drive took them down to Needles, a city in the Mojave Desert. There they experienced the sweaty thrill of 120-degree weather in a car with no air-conditioning and learned to love pit stops at Carl’s Jr. burger joints, where they spent hours recuperating in the cold. The trip provided plenty of time for your typical twenty-something hijinks and raging capitalist daydreaming. The Web had just started to become accessible to the public thanks to the rise of directory sites like Yahoo! and tools like Netscape’s browser. The brothers were tuned in to the Internet and thought they might like to start a company together doing something on the Web. From California to Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Illinois, they took turns driving, brainstorming, and talking shit before heading back east to get Musk to school that fall. The best idea to arise from the journey was an online network for doctors. This wasn’t meant to be something as ambitious as electronic health records but more of a system for physicians to exchange information and collaborate. “It seemed like the medical industry was one that could be disrupted,” Kimbal said. “I went to work on a business plan and the sales and marketing side of it later, but it didn’t fly. We didn’t love it.”
