LOL... That's rich... Facts...??? You're telling me the right is actually interested in facts? ROFLMAO...
Jeff
If I understand you correctly, your father linked that TruthAboutCars article to Facebook.
If that is the case, all it means is that the article was interesting to him.
It's not the first article to accuse Tesla Motors of forward looking marketing. It won't be the last.
The thing is, it's common knowledge that Tesla gets overly optimistic about schedules. The essay is not news.
But while that might have some truth embedded in it, Tesla Motors is still the #1 EV company on earth as of today, and it only started building cars in 2008.

Maybe to you. Not to me. We have come to a point here where even trying to reason with people is a complete waste of time. If you think climate change is a hoax, I don't have time for your ignorance. I will continue to cut people out of my life who are that ignorant. My desire to try to "change your mind" has been exhausted...
Jeff
If you cut everybody out of your life who is 'ignorant', you're going to be very, very lonely before your suicide.
There are 2 kinds of folk:
- Those who know they are ignorant.
- Those who don't know.

It's issue driven... I hear your point though. That being said, I have plenty of friends/family who agree or are open to agreement on issues that are important to me.

The referenced article is at best orthogonal to reality. It's hard to identify inaccuracies in innuendo. That's how it works.
And yet just due to lack of imagination, statements like these are inaccurate:
“The only way both of these statements can be true is if Tesla builds 10,000 vehicles in one week next year but still averages just 226,563 Model 3s per year over the next 5 years.”
C'mon folks, the article doesn't even rise to the level of bulls**t. It's rodent-s**t.
The only name I see associated with the OP's link is "Matt Posky" who, if he's the father of the 53 yr old OP, looks fantastic.
We are so far off topic, now veering towards "elder-abuse", that to bring us back all I can add in response to the OP's question is to please review the most cogent response I see here by @GoTslaGo:

change my mind? you believe I am an ignorant fool because of my views, guess what, I think that you are not only ignorant, but that the high level that you value your opinions to be arrogant and condescending and those who think that they know all and are incapable of intelligent discourse are really the one's in need of help. you should learn how to have a mind that is open to differing views, lastly I find it sad that you would dismiss a loved one from your life because of their holding a differing political view.
I know pretty much nothing about the details behind these filings but your theory is superficially appealing to me because Elon has mentioned that future Tesla battery Gigafactories may be co-located with vehicle assembly factories. It makes a certain amount of sense to apply that to the first battery Gigafactory as well. There seems to be room to expand that Nevada location with additional building space. They just need to shave down a few more hills.
That is no doubt true of some “journalists”. Most — I don’t know. I hope it doesn’t apply to me.

Call it whatever you will... I don't really care... I don't have time to argue with you over established science.

Yawn... I don't really care. My give a BEEP has been broken beyond repair. I don't have time to argue accepted and highly peer reviewed scientific conclusions.

I play a nice person on twitter.
Save a little energy. I hear rumors that some doubt the veracity of gravity. Because planes. And rockets. Birds.
I know you don't care @jeffro01, but I thought this was a good post about the value of the other side:

I thought it was a great post (by someone who is on your side of the Tesla opinion).

Does gravity actually exist? Or is it a side effect of how mass distorts time and space?
IMO - There is no gravity. The earth sucks...

Good read, thanks! I don't agree but again, thanks for the link and it was worth the read for sure.
