What would prevent you from buying one, price perhaps?

I'm not in the market for a car right now. But would consider it. If they could get the cost difference under $10,000 it would definitely be worth it to me.

Charcoal > Natural Gas > Electric.

Well sure, but there is a huge % of the market where those issues are of no concern.

That's 3 hours of driving in a day.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Even if it only happens twice a year, being concerned about being stranded because you are in your car for 3 hours in a day is a dealbreaker for most.

I'm surprised the electric car makers haven't incorporated an option to accept a removable battery pack that could get you around 10 miles in an emergency. Something you could keep in the car, or even rent/return at a gas station.

Exactly. That is where the criticism is coming from. Folks don't believe the technology will viable and widely accepted in the upcoming decade.

I am not weighing in on which way folks should go. I am simply making the counter case to the electric car mania that some believe in.

Here's something no one has ever been able to answer for me- is an electric car a net environmental gain? It takes a lot of energy to create those big batteries in the first place. Then coal is burning somewhere to supply the electricity. These young social justice goofs act like it's magic. I have nothing against electric cars and the Tesla looks fucking cool, but I'd really like a straight answer on how green the cars actually are.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

It will be interesting to follow this. I think their biggest mistake has been trying to build the cars themselves. They have the best technology and would be a great and profitable company if they just licensed out their tech to companies that actually know how to mass produce cars at a profit. (Ford, GM, Toyota, etc.)

Isnt this the weird fuck who shot a car into space for a publicity stunt?

That one didn't bother me as they actually did need a dummy load for the test of that rocket and the car was a fraction of the cost of launching and risking a multi-million dollar satellite in case the test launch failed.

thats not the issue. charging is still a pain. when (and it will happen) you can charge your car in 10 minutes and go 200+ miles on that charge... then electric cars will be everywhere.

I was dismayed to learn this weekend about a Tesla employee who had conducted quite extensive and damaging sabotage to our operations. This included making direct code changes to the Tesla Manufacturing Operating System under false usernames and exporting large amounts of highly sensitive Tesla data to unknown third parties.

The full extent of his actions are not yet clear, but what he has admitted to so far is pretty bad. His stated motivation is that he wanted a promotion that he did not receive. In light of these actions, not promoting him was definitely the right move.

However, there may be considerably more to this situation than meets the eye, so the investigation will continue in depth this week. We need to figure out if he was acting alone or with others at Tesla and if he was working with any outside organizations.

As you know, there are a long list of organizations that want Tesla to die. These include Wall Street short-sellers, who have already lost billions of dollars and stand to lose a lot more. Then there are the oil & gas companies, the wealthiest industry in the world — they don't love the idea of Tesla advancing the progress of solar power & electric cars. Don't want to blow your mind, but rumor has it that those companies are sometimes not super nice. Then there are the multitude of big gas/diesel car company competitors. If they're willing to cheat so much about emissions, maybe they're willing to cheat in other ways?

Most of the time, when there is theft of goods, leaking of confidential information, dereliction of duty or outright sabotage, the reason really is something simple like wanting to get back at someone within the company or at the company as a whole. Occasionally, it is much more serious.

Please be extremely vigilant, particularly over the next few weeks as we ramp up the production rate to 5k/week. This is when outside forces have the strongest motivation to stop us.

If you know of, see or suspect anything suspicious, please send a note to [email address removed for privacy] with as much info as possible. This can be done in your name, which will be kept confidential, or completely anonymously.

Looking forward to having a great week with you as we charge up the super exciting ramp to 5000 Model 3 cars per week!

Will follow this up with emails every few days describing the progress and challenges of the Model 3 ramp.

Thanks for working so hard to make Tesla successful,
Elon
