Eeyo posted:im not literate at financial stuff, how does Elon get money back in the end? so he takes out a loan using his large amount of stock as collateral, then gives that to Tesla (buys more stock?), then what happens in like 5-10 years if Tesla is successful? one possibility: he hands them 30million in stock in an escrow account and receives 20 million cash. when he pays it back he gets his stock back. so if the stock goes way up he can just sel some of those shares to pay it back and get the remaining. there’s an interest rate associated with a loan too. think of it like a heloc

if the collateral value drops below some set threshold % of the original loan he has to post more collateral or partially repay the loan

Bulgakov posted:its run by an insurance company tho, with slight rigging to cheapen it for ~autonomous reasons~ etc I think. is any tesla money on the line? that'd be ideal of course if the prohibitive cost of insuring teslas was the only thing preventing them from selling any so instead you just burn cash subsidizing premiums and eat the costs while making it up in sales (pretend money is made on sales) then jack it up or something I thought the insurance company was just the distributor and Tesla was holding the risk on their books

Combat Theory posted:Problem with the I3 is that it is a serial hybrid, aka a range extender. The concept for these is pretty bad because if you plan on running any significant distance on the petrol engine you'll suffer huge efficiency losses because the entire mechanical power of the engine needs to be transformed into electrical power and then back to mechanical power, whereas parallel hybrids source the mechanical power directly through the drivetrain to the wheels at minimal losses. i thought the range extender was just an option

Combat Theory posted:that is correct, i have not seen one without the Extender however and you dont gain any battery capacity by dropping it. BMW doesnt offer it any longer in certain markets with the newest version though (training wheel aspect etc) I was just casually checking out the i3's available and it appears, at least in the US, either the S or non-S variant without extender are pretty easy to get. that being said, the battery is the same size but i'd guess the weight savings would at least give some extra range? I know it shows at least a 0.4 second 0-60 time increase when not using range extender... but not sure how the weight translates to range

Waroduce posted:tbh expanding to a revenue stream associated with branded clothing and generic items would be a great way to generate some income. I'd bet it'd be fairly high volume for the first six months or so until you hit saturation (just like the cars). You can't tell me Tesla Fan boys wouldn't be all to buy shirts, watches, belts, luggage, jackets and everything that Ferrari or other racing companies do. clothing companies operate on little profit margin, especially for customized clothing, and it wouldn’t do poo poo for the scale of losses Tesla has. so to sum up I think Elon should do it
