Not really relevant to the thread, but Ferrari made it’s own hybrid vehicle.
The motor puts out 963 hp, and does 0-100km/hr in under 3 seconds.

THIS^ is my point.
Why did Toyota and others make such a shitty looking hybrid (Prius) ?
Why couldn’t they make the exterior look sharp ?
Maybe that has turned me off to hybrids looking back. I know it sounds lame, but the first thing people notice about a car is how it looks.

No champaign but you are right I was at the club, the ping pong club! I was feeling pretty good too after I beat up a couple chumps but then one of the vets put me in my place.
Back to Tesla. One rosy call is nice and everything but I’ll save the bubbly until its reached true game changer status. Heck, at this point Pat could still end up being right.
Btw, where’s that guy been?
Toyota has developed a wireless charger for electric cars, you basically park on the charger.
on edge is making a killing. Shares rose 10% today.
- Earnings for the quarter were $45M (300% from the previous quarter)
- Revenue increased 26% from the previous quarter
- Expects global sales to reach 35,000 for the full year (55% increase from last year)
- Expanding to Europe and China with (highly) probable unmet demand in China
- The Tesla Model X is close to production, expecting high volume deliveries in 2015
- Musk says the Model X already has very strong demand despite little marketing by Tesla (duh, it’s still in the prototype stage)
- Tesla no longer factors regulatory credits in its sales and earnings

One of the commentators on the article makes a good point about transfer efficiency and health risks from electromagnetic radiation.
520% increase from 2012.
If you invested $5,000 in 2012, you’re sitting on $26,000 right now.
Imagine if you kept putting money into the stock frequently. Damn.
Damn OE, I’ve been watching this stock since you started talking about it and have been watching it even closer since. It’s sitting at $247 right now…

Feb 28, 2012 it was sitting around $38
Elon Musk commented on making a pick-up truck and supersonic plane. I think this guy is only limited by his imagination,

The comments to that article seem to side with “we should light Elon Musk on fire.” Why all the hate?

Oh they did make them look at least somewhat snappier but people did not buy them.
If you are a self righteous environmento prick people better recognize that you drive a Prius.

Jealousy probably. He made something useful and cool, hard for some people to digest that.

You know, I first mentioned it a couple of years ago in some investment thread. I said I had it on my radar to buy when we had a significant market pullback. At that time I didn’t realize we were in a never ending bull market and I was expecting a big correction. A couple of other members chimed in and said they were thinking about buying it too. Unfortunately I can’t remember who those members were but I would like to hear from them in this thread.
This morning when TSLA was at 249 I had my finger on a trade to sell shares out of my roth but I couldn’t bring myself to press the button. At the end of the day I saw it closed at 247 and assumed it stayed pretty steady all day until my coworker informed me it had gone all the way to 259 during the day. It is almost for sure there will be significant retracement from these levels but with a revolutionary company like this one, getting left behind is a real concern to me.
Btw, DBCooper and me are closing in on tripling our initial investments. That sounds great and it is but I know of lots of people who talk about getting “10 baggers”. I’ve never had one and still have a long way to go.
