Elon, or his company at least, is haemorrhaging money. If his stocks go down it might be over, leaving Leftwinger nothing to do but masturbate furiously about right wing big oil conspiracies. Grin

All startups burn through money but of course this is completely alien to Australia which has little to no startups of the technological kind.

Secret wars thinks he knows how market forces work!

Good PR I guess but he needs to address the fundamentals of his cars.

They are way over priced and the performance is OTT who needs to get to 100KPH in 4 seconds ?

I know one guy worth around $100 million who even baulked at buying a Tesla.

Even at the very high prices the Tesla's still make a loss.

Other players are also entering this field with both faster and cheaper options ....... I can see it all ending in tears for Tesla.

If he'd just made a golf buggy you lot would be telling everyone how you could buy a Toyota Yaris cheaper so he started at the other end of the spectrum to show what the technology could do and he can't sell enough of them !!

Right Said Fred actually knows Elon is following a well worn path to success: he's following the cost curve of mobile phones and not even Right Said Fred can argue that doesn't work, ..aslong as it's a quality product of course!

i.e. Right Said Fred knows he is lying through his teeth Grin

The twin booster landings were impressive. Too bad the main rocket ran out of fuel. I am sure they will get it right soon. So, your comment means nothing?

OK jumping into extremes why not make one at 40-60k with reasonable performance ?

He can't keep his production up the cars are of poor build quality and at the high prices he is making a loss.

Industry experts are predicting he will crash and burn but time will tell.

Before bleating rubbish you need to think about what kind of cars people are buying and at what price. There are other players building more practical cars and even faster one the guy has competition !

An amazing achievement. I can't believe the people poo pooing it Roll Eyes

2 boosters landed like ballerinas. Shame about the centre core but losing that is nothing compared to the achievement and what it represents to the future.

I completely agree. If people are searching for a more practical benefit from this stunt, they should know that Musk has done this for 10% of the estimated cost that NASA will require for its latest launch.

TEN TIMES cheaper than NASA - that's exciting.

Tell the mechanic that one: he'll come up with some reason why it's crap!
