Super con man Elon Musk now has added to his ways to drain anybody who wants his car. First he can't deliver the Model 3 in any kind of timely manner. Suddenly if you have paid toward a new 3 you are being pressured to "upgrade" to the unnamed $78,000 model. If you decline then your delivery date for the Model 3 is promptly move to the bottom of the list with an unknown future date. This shyster puts ENRON to shame.

 

Says who? Where is this coming from?

 

This appears to be a commentary on a Bloomberg article from a couple of days ago.

 

So, you were planning to buy one? I mean, unless you were, this just seems like nothing more than sour grapes over something that won't affect you in the slightest.

This looks more like OD’s post

 

Again this is all about one person who cannot read and comprehend at a first grade level. The articles say nothing at all about anyone having to buy anything other than what they ordered. All the articles do say is that the more expensive vehicle will ship first.

 

Our moron waitress was sad today for buying a hybrid. Said the battery went out, and they wanted 3,100 for a new battery, and 4,200
to have it installed with accompanying brackets and such. I guess that's why she's a waitress and not a rocket scientist.

 

I wouldn't worry, he's proved he can do the impossible, its just taking a little longer than expected

 

Preston Tucker reincarnate?

 

It's easy to spend other peoples money...

 

Really? What has he proved besides the fact he can cheat on his taxes and defraud the US tax payers out of billions?

 

The con man Musk has pulled one of the biggest scams in US history. Electric cars have been around for more than 100 years. In fact, they predate gasoline powered cars by decades...

Here is an electric car from 1916.


Lets take a look back at the history of electric cars.


In 1842, both Thomas Davenport and Robert Anderson invented practical electric cars. Both inventors used electric batteries that were non-rechargeable. In 1865, Gaston Plante of France invented rechargeable lead-acid batteries that made electric cars more practical.

And in 1881, fellow Frenchman Camille Faure improved upon this rechargeable lead-acid battery design that would secure the electric vehicle as a means of locomotion throughout Europe. In 1884, British inventor Thomas Parker, claimed to have created an electric car.

In 1891, in Des Moines, IA, William Morrison built the first electric car with any success in the United States. In 1889, Thomas Edison built an electric vehicle using nickel-alkaline batteries.

In 1895, America's first automobile race took place on Thanksgiving Day, sponsored by the Chicago Times-Herald. Six cars were entered in the race, four powered by gasoline and two by electricity. The electric cars were built by Morris and Salom of Philadelphia and Sturgis of Chicago.

In 1897, a the first electric cars to be used as taxis were built for fleet use in New York City by the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company of Philadelphia. In 1899, in Belgium an electric race car called the "La Jamais Contente" set a land-speed record of 68 mph. This first electric record-setting racecar was built by Camille Jénatzy.

By 1900, electric cars were commonplace making up 28-percent of the marketplace. In 1899, the first hybrid car running on gasoline and electricity was invented by Porsche. Gasoline cars, however, were already dominant by this point because of short refueling times and extended range.

And, the rest, as they say is history.

 

How can Tesla stock trade at a price equal to General Motors?

 

Stock price per share is only a tiny part of a corporation value. Number of shares issued is a key component. There are 10 times as many shares of GM stock than Tesla.

Elon Musk is a con-man he tricks people and the government who are scientifically illiterate into thinking hes inventing stuff that has ether A already been done or B cant be done because of the laws of physics and thermal dynamics. Here is a real nuclear physicist to explain the science behind why none of Elons plans will work and cant work.

 

Mr Musk is a master in his stock and trade, there were very very few that were better. You have to admire that quality. Unlike Mr Madoff, he does it legally, and I'm sure some good will come from his efforts.

 

You want me to dumb it down for you sure ill do that. Hyperloop idea not new its been tryed be for. Speed to FAST Cost to HIGH and safe it is NOT. that's about as dumb done as i can make it.

As for SpaceX reusable rocket. COST way to high idea and complete design stolen no joke SpaceX ripped of a NASA design from the 90s that NASA never got fund for and no one nose how SPaceX found these designs.

Elons Tunnel in LA to be used to make people trip acrose the city faster. Its only a mile long and only has one stop in the end turns out they can only run one cart that can fit onlly 15 people on it at a time so waiting time to get on the cart could be 10x longer then it would take for you to walk that mile in other words no point to it.
