musk forced to step down

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/29/b...ettlement.html

yup, he's not the chairman anymore. not sure it really matters though as he's still the CEO and the car they are making is still a really good car.

investors just wanted their small cut of 20 million,thats most likely fuck all for someone who has billions right.

you're right, at least it's not about the products' safety issue or anything
but could still just be first of major lawsuits if he doesn't rein in his public antics

well, investors must be liking this news as TSLA has gone up about $44/share this morning.

Got off scott-free. Weak shit from SEC. Guy has revealed himself to be an elitist egotistical piece of shit. The money, power and media really fucked with his head.

The only real way to hurt this asshole is that stock is brought below 230s which will start triggering the 800M collateral in stock to be sold by lender. The process will bankrupt buddy.

I read a report saying that Musk as CEO is adding approximately $160 to the value of each share... there was no way the SEC was going to remove him from that position and risk all those investors (probably many of them personally invested!!!!) losing half their money.

It's crazy the valuations on Tesla's stock, I'm not against the company by any means, but Ford for example has 9x the earning potential of Tesla and their stock is worth nothing by comparison.

"Cop Pulls Tesla Model 3 Driver Over For 'Computer' Mounted On Dashboard"

Imagine if he’s black and not some hipster white guy lol :troll:

20M seems like nothing

usually don't like this tuber but i didn't mind how he explains the tesla/musk hate train

saw one today with the pano roof going orange from the rain
how much are people paying for this piece of shit again? haha

I’m sorry, what’s the issue? It’s just light refacting through the water on special UV coatings on the glass.

It just comes that way. What makes it a piece of shit in your opinion?

tried the 3 Performance

it's the dual-motor AWD, with CF spoiler and track mode (didn't try on surface street), $86k before incentives ships in a month


wow, I can see why people say flooring it is addictive (0-60 3.5s)


only other BEV ive tried is the I-Pace (0-60 4.5s) and fastest ICE I've driven is last-gen Cayman GTS (0-60 4.1s)


that said, I think it's still a shit ton of money for what it is. BUT I kinda get why people would pay an early adopter premium for one


I believe when the base model comes out at 45k, it could be a worthwhile consideration for those looking for a modern commuter if after taxes and incentive it's under 50k

3 Red Tesla crashed together today in Hong Kong, insurance premium for Tesla will be spiked

^what are the chances? must be a marketing stunt


dude it was delivered in 2 days off the truck right to the front doorstep! fair to expect some paint scratches and orange peel is far too common for most new cars these days...but that 'bird poop' under clear coat would drive me mad haha

The $35k Model 3 is finally here

https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/28/1...elon-musk-news

get ready for a flood of base models to hit the market soon.

$6700 gas savings? does elon think everyone drives V12 from the 80s or something?

$40k after rebates is a decent price, but i can't even fathom how much fucking corner cutting it'll take to get there (most of the retail force/floor space will be cut but that sounds like just the tip of the iceberg)...each base model built will lose them 3k USD

"News" come out to pump stock every time it get to the 250-300 range. LUL

Guy should be in jail.

I went from a 2014 Hyundai Sonata to a Long Range, RWD Model 3 and I have roughly $3500/year in fuel savings so yeah, his numbers are somewhat realistic but they aren't for everyone. The more driving you do, the easier it is to justify the cost of a Tesla

anyone owners here have to deal with the service centre? is it outsourced? how long is turnaround for minor or major things?

Yah, how much more did that Tesla cost you new than your 2014 Hyundai though?

There's zero justification for fuel savings cost to go electric right now. It''s purely a "I want to do it and can afford it" luxury.
