Dude, I didn’t say any of that stuff. You quoted the wrong guy. ;-)
also get to give family and friends, who are into saving the planet and driving priuses, a hard time for driving an ICE car.
This is what Larry had to say about Elon Musk "You know, he's landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you're saying he doesn't know what he's doing. Well, who else is landing rockets? You ever land a rocket on a robot drone? Who are you?"

Hahaha
Something is off here. A level 2 charger will charge between 20 and 20 miles per hour for an all electric car.
I love the regen so I only charge to 80-90%.

I've only driven about 100 miles in the Bolt and i can't get enough of the regen. Such a better way to drive. Especially with hills (which I have plenty of). The Bolt will come to a complete stop even coming down a steep hill. I picked up 4 additional miles driving 5 miles out of my neighborhood down to the freeway!
I went surfing this morning and took my wife's minivan and it felt so weird (and wrong) to coast and have to hit the brakes at traffic lights. I can't believe how quick I am getting used to one pedal driving.
- 220V@32A (7.04kW): 25mi/h or 8h31m-------(This is the advertised 9 hour full charge with a Level 2 charger at 32 amps)
Interesting world we now live in, where the Prius driver is the carbon spewing, planet killing pig.
Whether you love Tesla or can’t stand the company — perhaps due to the antics of CEO Elon Musk — there’s no getting around the fact that the company may very well go down as one of the more influential car manufacturers in history.
One reason I'm interested in Tesla is because I'm a firm believer that solar will replace oil soon, being limited only by battery technology. And Tesla makes more money from batteries than from cars.
Any other companies positioned to efficiently store solar power?
I don't think solar will REPLACE oil. Augment, displace, etc. Not REPLACE.
Elon has created a product that people love and are raving about. Tesla has the highest customer satisfaction. Is that enough for you to invest in the company.
A purchase of TSLA stock is a bet on Elon Musk, one of the geniuses in our lifetime.

Really, how many people out of 320 million would that be?

The end of the year push to try and sell vehicles using a $7,500 Federal tax credit as a bargaining chip appears to be falling flat on its face for Tesla. A new report by electrek published on New Year’s Eve says that Tesla still has over 3,300 Model 3 vehicles in its U.S. inventory, which sent the stock sliding lower by about 2% in morning trading.
Tesla had earlier said it was "doing everything" to ensure those who ordered a vehicle as late as Dec. 20 could take deliveries by Dec. 31, with Musk promising to reimburse customers if delivery delays cause them to miss out on a significant tax credit.
They need to turn consitently profitable soon without accounting gimmicks.
Tesla isn't a car. It's a spaceship from the future.
I kinda agree with Warren Buffett when he says Apple should not buy TSLA. Warren is not always correct, but I believe him when he says everybody and his dog will make an electric car. Also, the self-driving car will mean that fewer cars are sold. One car will be able to serve 5 people. I don't own a car anymore. I use UBER and trains and busses and maybe I'll try a LIME (maybe NOT!). And, added hazard, you gotta realize Chinese competition will be fast and ferocious. SAIC BAIC BYD all have better financials than Tesla.

A very honest company founded by a man who is not human. He will go down in history as the man who destroyed Big Oil, and brought the Saudi Kings to their knees.
Where have I seen this type of FanBoy-ism.... Let me think.... Oh yeah, like this:
Still, cellphone .... make that mobile computing, is a viable long term market, which isn't disappearing though it may evolve into clothes, eye wear, upholstery, etc, instead of a handheld device.
In contrast, a car is still just that, a mode of transportation.
And there's a huge difference between $1K and $50K for the average consumer.
Tesla still has over 3,300 Model 3 vehicles in its U.S. inventory,
and there's a huge difference between a $60K Model 3 and a $30K Volt, yet they both get you from Point A to B.
pay DOUBLE for a iphone versus an Android
MrMagic saysand there's a huge difference between a $60K Model 3 and a $30K Volt, yet they both get you from Point A to B.
And don't forget the $17K Corollas & Civics, which also get the job done, saving even more money for gas.
That's fashion statement stuff, like paying $400 vs $200 for a pair of shoes.

Survivorship bias.
This is a low resolution algorithm guaranteed to fail most people. You are correct though, for someone to go fron normal life savings to rich betting the farm on one risk exposure is a strategy. We have a pat.net contributor doing that w weed stocks now.

Welcome to the world of Tesla owners!

This is sounding like my dad's geriatric DeLorean fans talking. And yes, those did look like spaceships which is why Doc Brown put his flux capacitor in one and the kid back in the 1950s thought there was an alien invasion.

@Rin,
Thanks for the link. Ted Kennedy's wife rented an Aston Martin for a weekend to fulfill his dream? Wow....
A car is a lot more than taking a person from point A to point B. I don't want to be like one of those people who just rents an exotic car on a weekend. I want more than both. I want a car that not only takes me from point A to point B, but a car that I enjoy driving everyday, not just on the weekend. Tesla fits the bill. After 15 months of owning it, the car still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. What say you @Strategist and @gsr?

It's over $300, with a loss of $10/share, but revenue just keeps going up. Hard to figure out what a fair price is since it doesn't make money yet.
How would you come up with a fair price per share?
