Would you consider John DeLorean same as Elon? DeLorean ended up making 9,000 cars and some other company bought what was left and thinking of starting to resurrect the dead, Maybe a "Back to the Future"-Part 4?
“The fact that we were able to build at scale, amid all that craziness, that’s the real accomplishment,” one former executive said. “We designed a car that is so simple and elegant you can build it in a tent. You can build it when your CEO is melting down.”
"He knows it can't be $5m and keep them interested. He also knows that $50,000 would be too obvious a scam. So $500,000 it is, that's mortgage ballpark for the moderately well-off hoi polloi."
LOL Pekolo you have a hard-on for elon... He is sleazy in how he has been doing business lately I find, his talent was finding really smart people to work on his projects tho... Space X technology is crucial for North America
As long as we don't call out politicans or CEOs on their bullshit, they will keep spreading it on us. If you like a shitstorm, so be it.
This thread could end anytime when Elon stops lying or committing fraud. Here is an opinion from SA:
"It is fraud to say “my best guess is we will sell 350k to 500k Model 3s this year when any idiot can see he doesn’t even have enough demand to repeat 60k unit quarter without exhausting all backlog.
It is fraud to say that the China plant will be producing 3k cars per week this year."
My personal guess is that they should be very happy selling 250K M3s this year, but I am not a genius, so I could be wrong...
"The demand for - the demand for Model 3 is insanely high. The inhibitor is affordability. It's just like people literally don't have the money to buy the car. It's got nothing to do with desire. They just don't have enough money in their bank account. If the car can be made more affordable, the demand is extraordinary."
