Ok, serious question about the roadster... Is everyone here who plans on getting one rich enough to actually just buy it outright with cash? Where does one even acquire a loan for a $300K sports car? I had a hard enough time convincing my bank to fund the $100K for the Model S 4-years ago.
Should be able to pull that Airstream, and your range goes to 500 miles!Who else reserved one?

At first I was thinking that the battery size and range was excessive. That it would be better to be lighter at 100kwh. But then I realized there's no way they could suck power fast enough out of a 100kwh battery. The 200kwh is probably necessary just to achieve the acceleration and top speed. The range is just a byproduct.

Well, it was about what I expected: Awesome!
The trucks were good trucks, and the Roadster 2 was a good Roadster 2. Also, they discussed pickup for a few seconds.
I look forward to the fine grained detail as things go on.
I came away from tonight with one reaction:
So, what were we doing all these years with combustion engine cars? Lame!

That car isn't even out yet and it's already obsolete.
Yes, cash. To reserve a founders edition requires you to wire $250k within 10 days.
Yes indeed. The big battery is needed for the power. The range is excessive and thus a byproduct.

Cheapest electricity on the planet is Mexican solar power at 1.77¢/kWh – record 1¢/kWh coming in 2019, sooner
Electricity is coming down in cost hugely. I'm talking solely about clean electricity.
0-60 in 1.9
0-100 in 4.2
1/4 mile in 8.8
Those are the same stats as an F1 car

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit. CFO says we’re running tight on cash now that the Model 3 is stalled. Elon says, hey Franz, you’ve got 30 days to pull together a convincing Roadster demo...
People who short Tesla don’t realize that Elon always, always, has a backup plan. He will not be beaten. Period.
I fully expect the 1000 founder slots to be filled quickly.

Yes, even faster, but not enough downforce to truly experience F1 performance.

Isn’t against the law (Sarbonne-Oxley) to use that money for operations? Same thing with the Model 3 deposits. I’ve always heard that was true.
Going back to the truck details. I'm certain they can be filled with cars? If so, one assumes Tesla will use these trucks to ship out new orders to service centers/people's homes from Fremont.
One can then assume more faster delivery time and cheaper shipping cost (not the 2K-5K you see now for new inventory cars for example).
