Great ! And digging profoundly the huge financial losses of the company ?

They shipped a bunch of model S's last year with sales up like 60% year over year. The PDF states reliability has improved (by 50%). Gigafactory seems to be on schedule. X is shipping, the 3 reveal/production is on the schedule still and despite explosive growth and aggressive expansion they are projecting to be cash flow positive by the end of the year. Powerwall seems to have been a success and is growing as well.
Ramping up Model X shipments is off to a slow start but for a company whose stock is down 40% for the year the news doesn't seem all that bad.

watersworm: Those loses are because it's reinvesting 90% of it's available funds each and every month into the gigafactory. Once that's done the real profitability of Tesla will be known to all.

I think an important point not covered is that Tesla plans to offer the performance version first, which is an interesting strategy, since the Model 3 is supposed to be the affordable version of a Tesla.

Ok, and what percentage of the cost will be subsidize by the taxpayers?
No more cronyism!
have a feeling this is going to be another Chevy Volt. Over hyped car with a bunch of fancy gadgets but offers no real value to the average consumer.
Until a car can be produce that has a range of 300 miles on one charge and batteries can be recharged in 15 min, all we have is a car for the environmentalist loon who cares about the environment and is willing to pay more than a vehicle is worth just to feel good about it

Would definitely be interested at that price range but any alternative power source is on my radar(price is always the first stop).

Joe Mamma....NO CAR IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY!!! Electric cars are the future. ICE cars did not start of cheap either. Let's forget about the energy consumption to power the vehicle for am minute. Think about the industrial process to manufacture the vehicle and all the energy going into producing it and all of its parts. ICE or electric, it's dirty and messy and NOT environmentally friendly. So cry me a river. Transportation is necessary. The big benefit of electric cars are that they are 3 times as efficient as a comparable ICE car. No matter whether it's coal or oil powered. 3 times the efficiency is what it's about. And eventually you can power the electric car with 100% renewable energy.

Really tired of the comments from guys who do not even know what the salinity of the water they are standing in is. Yet the blather on about things as if they were not illiterate.
Bully Tesla.

Joe Mamma - the hydrocarbon industry is subsidized so why can't clean cars be subsidized? If there were zero subsidies across the board I would agree.

They sure are making it sound as if people are lined up to buy his cars. Let's face it, the electric car industry has been an utter failure! what's going to make the Tesla different or better than any electric car currently on the market? NOTHING? Same car that can only go 40 miles on a charge with expensive batteries that take hours to recharge.
Publicity hype and nothing more
