Government grants are sometimes used as part of the vetting process. They help prime the pump.I would note he has spoken not so much about the EV subsidy in general which by any reasonable accounting of how much it will accelerate supply is an extraordinarily inefficient use of public funding, but in their favor. Elon is a cunning libertarian mind that is oriented to the long future. As such he is utilitarian as well. He will however play with the myths and lesser gods and direct the vox populi.
I don’t understand. I thought there was a total dollar value assigned and that Tesla would mop that up in 31 months?The subsidy is alloted for 10 years so what is on the market now is rather specious.
Good thing, eh? That gives GM enough time to start the Bolt from scratch after it goes bankrupt first, reorganizes, sells 316 Hummers, all of which I’m betting will also be recalled at some point, Nikola produces that hydrogen semi, and Lordstown is sold to Apple for iCar production.The subsidy is alloted for 10 years so what is on the market now is rather specious.

(On-topic weekend diversion)
Oftentimes in this thread, people coyly suggest how many shares they own, or at least how many they recently purchased ("Just picked up 50 more chairs on the dip!!"). Others give opinions evidently based on years of investing experience. I'm always curious about the experience behind all the opinions, and I'm guessing you are too. And - let's be honest - I want to know where my TSLA investments fit in compared to those of others on the forum! Well, guess no more.
..... TMC investor survey
This 10 multiple-choice question survey is in Google Forms because we need several questions to effectively profile the community. It's anonymous so I don't believe there's any way for someone to maliciously connect your response with your personal finances - in other words, you're not putting your investments at risk (anyone correct me if I'm wrong). Summary results are visible after completing.
Please fill in - thank you!
I'm pretty sure autosave only works if you're logged in to Google. You could use a Mac or Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome to avoid autosave:I appreciate the offer. I was uncomfortable with the autosave feature and identifying data being collected. I have cleared the form now. Thanks.
Ofc there are, there's nothing free in life or business.
Actually, the U.S. Government’s Investment in Tesla Was a Disaster, and Cost Taxpayers at Least $1 Billion
In 2009, as the financial crisis raged and General Motors and Chrysler plunged toward bankruptcy, Tesla Motors faced a seemingly impossible task:...slate.com
a commentWow, thanks to 161 of you who've already completed the survey!
For those who have been reluctant to participate because of obligatory question 1 (@AudubonB , @Opus BC fan ?), I've added a "Prefer not to say" option (see below) if that helps.
So if you haven't participated yet, please do so here: TMC investors survey. Besides the automatic summaries shown after you complete the survey, I'll try and generate some analytics that corelate across some of the questions.

But to compare and state Tesla is worse than Solyndra, and therefore Solyndra is better than Tesla, is a travesty of common sense
More than that, but as a 98 I have still not received. Maybe they are going to do a polishing iteration before trining a new set of beta testers?How many people are Beta testing now. Is it still a 1000?
Thank you. Just doesn’t seem to be moving very fast to mass roll out. My guess is a year or two yet.More than that, but as a 98 I have still not received. Maybe they are going to do a polishing iteration before trining a new set of beta testers?
Panamax auto carrier max ~ 7,000 car capacityI think here is where I believe Tesla missed a trick by closing down the rail line/spur they had in Freemont factory. They could have loaded right into the train, unloaded/loaded right into RoRo in Boston and off to Europe. Would have cut down 10 days in shipping time and bet some costs too. Of course, fix the damn freight rail network in this country to make a cross country from SF to Boston/NY in less than 4 days.
Thanks @winfield100 .a comment
1) my color vision is “strong deutan” (very red green weak) so I _think_ your color wheels pie charts start at 0 degrees and go clockwise…..
I expect much sooner. The current level is very difficult to achieve. By Christmas I predict release for the next group simply because it was offered by EM himself and part of his plan to send the stock to the moon!Thank you. Just doesn’t seem to be moving very fast to mass roll out. My guess is a year or two yet.
