Honestly would make sense if the buyer could opt out of buying the battery and only purchase it as an option (an expensive one). Kind of like a propane tank that you swap at the gas station.
Hmmmmmm..... he is tricky.

"What's the source of all that cash? Why Tesla, of course. Repaying SpaceX, after all, was one of the principal motivations for the merger.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk and the Rive brothers have converted their $100 million in Solar Bonds to promissory notes, which remain payable next February.
What was the point of all this? Probably as I originally guessed: to comply with a liquidity covenant in SolarCity's secured credit line."

Tesla faces fresh allegations from workers who want to unionize
Union organizers last week filed four separate complaints against Tesla with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the company surveilled andtried to coercea small group of employees interested in unionizing at the company's plant in Fremont.(Silicon Valley Business Journal)
Elon, the investor and risktaker:
"SpaceX is privately owned and has a business entirely unrelated to that of SolarCity. So, why did SpaceX purchase some $165 million of Solar Bonds?
Elon Musk's explanation to The Wall Street Journal last April (shortly before the Tesla merger with SolarCity was announced) was that the bonds were an "excellent investment."

Do you know how risky it is in the automotive biz to mass release a model without adequate testing? Its the nature of the beast.
You don't think there's huge money out there just waiting and laughing as the stock climbs?
Takata is going to look like small claims court.
i happen to disagree
they test it with employee's/close to company people. there is a write up detailing why they think that is far superior in finding glitches
my background is in business and far from a tree hugger...also been through dot com bubbles, s & l crisis..et al
with that experience and imo great overall success in my view...not only will tesla kick ass; but they will kill the fossil fuel industry which although is a big part of us of a...it will butt bang russia and the mid east. f them.

Ahhhhhhhh..... I gotta disagree a tad. There is no way TSLA knows more about quality control than Toyota/Lexus. Look at their testing procedures.
You put a few 100,000 cars on the road, and Murphy's Law is going to manifest itself.
Look at Samsung. Do you think they thought their batteries would explode? All's it'll take is one or two fires... the costs of the recall will bury the company. No one has 100% TQM.
