Nah, they'll produce something, no one will buy it, they'll pretend it's selling like hotcakes... The usual. The funny thing is, there's a guy that used to work at Tesla, got fed up with it, left, and started his own company that produces EV buses for intra-city commutes. And he's the complete opposite of Musk, at least judging by a presentation of his i've attended. They've calculated that you can actually fit a one day of daily suburb<->downtown commutes into an electric bus worth of range for certain cities, and have been rolling out pilot project bus fleets to those cities, and last i've heard, are doing okay. Edit: oddly enough, even their math for released pollutants checks out, assuming current distribution of power sources.

Speaking of central driving position... Audi E-tron concept has that poo poo. It moves the seat towards the door when you're exiting / entering, and scoots off to the center when you close the door and the stupid little armrest / safety ramp.

Tesla is getting closer to where Musk has to pledge more money or he gets margin called. If he gets margin called, that would be the disaster scenario. The only problem with pledging more, is that it now ratchets up the negative effects of a margin call. There will be a price at which things will snowball and other investors will bail because they don’t want to get caught up before Elon is forced to sell, at which point the stock drops and Elon is forced to sell regardless because the bank doesn’t want to take a bigger hit. Basically, Elon is taking a huge gamble by doing what he’s doing and borrowing against his own shares.

Today's not really an indication of anything. Most stocks closed red or very red. Random assortment from the tickers i follow:  Can you tell which one is TSLA? The same way it dropped today, it could go back up tomorrow, with good index winds blowing.

I just remembered: on my drive to work today I saw one of those car carrying trucks, but with 6 Teslas on it. normally i dont notice or care, but only one of them had any sort of protection. a single car was wrapped in looseish-cloth and the rest were completely bare. one of them looked like they might have had blue protective plastic strips on the chrome trim around the windshield, but that was inconsistent or made up of mismatched parts.

True but I’m just pointing out there’s a price at which the wheels will fall off Tesla and the stock price will precipitously fall. It’s probably around $225 but if it ever gets there, there will be a massive meltdown.

The exact terms of Musk's pledge agreement with MS aren't public (for obvious reasons).
