Government Money We have a tendency to perhaps short change Elon a little for his brash statements. Yes, it seems to be way out there, but let's don't forget that he has been very successful getting government money to keep Space X flying. He probably knows something about the loan that we...

Thanks Again <<TEG You won't reach consensus here>> I'm here to learn. Don't expect consensus and didn't join to debate. It's a Great forum. Thanks again for your help and advice.

Thanks TEG << TEG ..Bill, your URL linked itself. A feature of the forum.>> Thanks.. It is a lot easier than I thought. <<TEG.. That story you linked has been on the internet for a while now. You can see a lot more of John Coleman's writing here if you so chose:>> Thanks again for...

Global Warming Here's an interesting article on Global warming. I haven't figured out how to post a ink yet, so we will start with this. The Amazing Story Behind the Global Warming Scam | KUSI - News, Weather and Sports - San Diego, CA | Coleman's Corner Perhaps someone will set it up...

Survival Loans <None of these companies are going to be in business to sell these cars if they do not get their Section 136 Dept. of Energy Loans within a week or so.> I think dpeilow hit the nail square on. They need the money to survive. Auto sales are flat everywhere. Tesla appears to...

Let's Speculate Tesla is playing this close to the vest so we will just have to guess at what might be happening behind the scenes. They seem to be in a cost pinch. First, the forum reported months ago that Elon stated that the roadster costs were underestimated. Second, along with the...

Turning Point I plan to buy a roadster next year, but all this is just getting too negative. Guess we wait more toward the end of '09. Elon's cost cutting moves are good today. I still think the turning point, up or down we be clear by the end of next year. We just have to wait it out I...

Good Point..!! Your last mail about "It's the battery, stupid" really drives home the message. Before we invest in gearboxes, we need the battery performance. Top speed can wait. From what I read here, it seems most of us who are buyers, or future buyers won't be on the track looking to...

Future For the time being I don't see that Tesla has problems. Elon is making good financial moves. They are producing cars and should be fine through the end of 2009. Somewhere out here is where the problems could get tough. We have to count on roadster sales holding up through next year...

Tesla's Future <<<<< The Tesla investors and I are unequivocally dedicated to ensuring the success of Tesla. If you have bought a car from Tesla or are thinking of doing so, please know that I personally stand behind delivering a product that you will love and continuing to develop new models...

History Over time history will sort it all out properly. If Tesla goes on to become a highly successful company, then Martin will become the "Father of the Electric Automobile" If Tesla fails, it becomes a mere footnote and people won't care. For now, we all have to hope that Elon has the...

chimpanzee Your comments are dazzling, creative, brilliant and often amusing. It's fun to read what you write. Keep up the great work. However, let's all admit it, TM has done superbly well without your help. They have developed a incredible street machine that is both high performance...

R&D Comments My wife and I own a small Pharmaceutical manufacturing company (Mom and Pop if you wish). I don't know a lot about cars. R&D has been our lifeblood. We recently obtained approval to produce a cancer drug and are designing a multitude of new products and technology to be produced...

50B Loan <<<<<Finkenbusch... Its stunning that in a capitalistic society a honorable private company has the guts to ask hat in hand for a government bailout - not thinking of approaching a presidential candidate for getting it.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It seems that the real question is: Should...

This logic doesn't make sense. It says that Daimler had a bad experience in the US, therefore, they will never deal with the US again. Those folks have to be smarter than that..!!!

Thanks.... Outstanding Review..!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bill

<<< j-g.... I think Ft. Lauderdale gives the best mix of marketing chic, elegance and access for the area. >>> Anything North of Miami is a good choice. I support your comments. Thanks and Good Luck

I plan to place my order next year so here is at least a penny's worth on location. <<< Joseph Wrote ..Something else very important: Miami is a big car city. Everywhere you go, you will see Ferraris, Lamborghinis, ect. and you cannot keep count of those fancy German cars. >>> Miami...

QUESTION Why Miami? Why not cental Florida where the dealership is closer to more people?

Here in Florida, I feel a hardtop is mandatory. It's mostly an issue of summer heat along with heavy rains. We'll be placing our roadster order next year.
