Thank you, Tesla. Thank you George. Thank you Elon. Thank you, Board or Executives.
I recall an email from George that stated he had been up until 5:30am answering emails and returning phone calls. Just like where I work, it only takes a few bad situations to turn us all into a bunch of third graders. But (like a concerned caring parent), Tesla let us voice our laundry and decided on a plan of action.
Now
Business model it makes perfect sense: let's say that X of us have the 60kWh. And x is 2500. Y is the total number of 60kWh that Tesla will sell over Z years. With those variables uncertain (my crystal ball is broken and the psychic beanie baby on my computer screen is for show only) one would postulate that the number of people that were relieved to hear this may be that x, or 2500. The other variables may place the 60kWh owners (future owners) into the tens of thousands and, as such, this move "cost" the company less than 10% (more likely less than 2 or 3%) of their revenue for - what?
For happy customers who talk about their car (they don't even have) on a daily basis.
Small advertizing price to pay. Small pennance for a wrong decision for a fledgling company.
Again, thank you all in upper management.
Regards
