Aaaaaah. I bet they're only doing it in California. I wish Enterprise was renting model S out here in Ithaca, NY!

Here is a list of cities where Enterprise offers the Tesla Model S. Looks like Boston or DC might be the closest available to you in NY.

Wonder if he was sleeping on the line for this one Maybe he did part of the build, I would.

Read somewhere that his jet left without him onboard. So he could still be in SA.

Tesla Model 3: pictures of the very first production unit at the factory

After confirming that Tesla completed the first Model 3 production unit at the Fremont factory late on Saturday, CEO Elon Musk has now released the first picture of the historic vehicle and a few more shots have leaked.

He (Elon) clearly made sure that the picture is not showing too much ahead of the launch planned for the end of the month.

Ira Ehrenpreis had rights to 1st car as he was 1st to place a full deposit, but gave those rights to me as my 46th bday present. Tks Ira!

Hey, reservations are non-transferable!

Hey, reservations are non-transferable!

Technically that was no longer a reservation because it had been turned into a car.

(some other nerd would have said it... it may as well be me)

These were not the lame $1000 reservations. It was fully paid when transferred to Elon.

Is it our conclusion that these are quotes from May this year and not just taken out of context from prior years?

I'm trying to respond to a recent Bloomber article which continues to use those quotes. Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't find any proof the quote about share price was from this year.

The Guardian quote seems to be from this interview in 2013. Elon Musk on Tesla's stock price

Musk does like to repeat certain phrases, but this seems far too soon after inferring he believed the stock price could run up. It's a shame he or Tesla won't set the record straight one way or the other.

So I can sell my order to the highest bidder on ebay before registration and new buyer gets full $7500 credit?

Gee, I wonder what product can help you in this situation and save you money on a daily basis?

No. You can pay for it fully and then give it to me as a gift for my birthday, which is around the corner.

Edit: You can probably keep the credit.

Edit: You can probably keep the credit.

Plug-In Electric Drive Vehicle Credit (IRC 30D)

The vehicles must be acquired for use or lease and not for resale. Additionally, the original use of the vehicle must commence with the taxpayer and the vehicle must be used predominantly in the United States. For purposes of the 30D credit, a vehicle is not considered acquired prior to the time when title to the vehicle passes to the taxpayer under state law.

You must mean the new coal based roof shingles heated by crude oil circulating in pipes...

First production color - BLACK!

This really reminds me of the Ford Model T.

Hopefully they'll spare some thought for the most popular car color in the US and the world (white).

Well, it's got the aggressive look American car buyers like (according to studies). Here we go...

Since it depends on "use", yes, if you transfer ownership prior to registration and delivery, the new buyer should be able to get the credit. Though you might get fined for operating a car dealership without a license!
