Tesla is taking orders for their electric semi truck now. They've shown a prototype.

This is Tesla’s big new all-electric truck – the Tesla Semi

300 mile or 500 mile range with a full load, 3 times the acceleration of a diesel truck, and independent computer-controlled motors on each of 4 wheels that make jackknifing nearly impossible.

Good move by Tesla. The mass market is where they should be concentrating. 80% of the semi fleet travels less than 250 miles a day, so that 80% is the market. Such vehicles can work during the day, then go the charging station at night, when the grid has the extra capacity.

Tesla hasn't stated the price. More expensive than a diesel truck, but Tesla says fuel and maintenance savings will make up the difference in cost in 2 years.

Ahhh, the Ponzi scheme continues. How wonderful....

Investors would love to see the secret knowledge that you and nobody else seemingly possesses. Why don't you show it to us?







It's no secret, Tesla has had how many Quarters in the black? One? Two? They lost 600 million last Quarter. The only way to keep that sinking ship afloat is to get more suckers to keep it above water. They aren't giving more cash for the products already on offer, so you have to come up with something "new".

Same old game, same old system, just the newest bunch of suckers.

And how is that a Ponzi scheme? You don't seem to understand the meaning of the term. How is Tesla paying off old investors with new investor money?

A Ponzi scheme survives by getting new suckers in to prop up the scam. Tesla has had one or two quarters in its entire life where it wasn't in the red. It is a money loser on a grand scale that should have closed its doors years ago. musk figured out how to foist off his losses on to the American Taxpayer, in that one area he is truly a genius, but to keep that dream alive he must constantly have new products to keep the cash flowing in. If all he had were his original products, which he isn't even producing at the rate he claimed he would, and not by a long shot at that, he would be toast because they have sold out. Anyone who wants one has either bought it or given their deposit.

So, he must seek new suckers. They don't like what he's already got, so he comes up with something new.

Wow I would love to see the battery array. I can't believe it can tow 80,000 lbs at highway speeds for 500 miles. With that much stored power I also think overheating over long duration hauls in hot weather will be a problem. Very impressive nonetheless.

Just imagine the toxic mess when it is involved in an accident.

So any new business that invests money to grow is running a Ponzi scheme? Fascinating. It appears Tesla shouldn't have built that gigafactory, because it hurt the quarterly earnings report.

Tesla won't turn profitable until 2020: Musk

Wall Street was very aware Tesla would not be earning money soon. The stock price is based on expected future earnings.
 
Best part is you can stand up while driving it. You have to pay $250K now to order one? and wait 2 years....ouch.

A legitimate business turns a profit. A legitimate business doesn't need to go out and get new "investors" to keep the plant open. A legitimate business actually produces its product ON TIME. Something that tesla has never done.

So Amazon isn't a legitimate business? After all, it took them like, 20 years to make a profit.
 
Couldn’t this be a case of don’t look over here look at this shiny object.

I learned today from a dot guy you can’t use water on a tesla car fire. I said what do you use then? Something that takes oxygen out of the air? Hope you aren’t caught in an overturned tesla vehicle on fire.

There is no info on the truck batteries. There is no price target. Delivery dates are fungible. Charging stations are nonexistent. Charging times are not available. Could ISIS have designed a better truck to commit terror with. Trust but verify.
 
The problem is not that these are electric cars, it is that Tesla really doesn't know how to build a vehicle.
I think they know how build vehicle, because electric car is not more difficult than a trolleybus, but without wires and with a battery and main problem is a battery.

Since over 90% of the buyers of Tesla's state they would buy another one, looks to me as if Tesla is building a pretty good car. But then, 'Conservatives' cannot stand the idea of an American car, built in America, being one of the best and most popular cars in the world.
 
Don't count on any military contracts, just sayin'.

"Maximum 500 mile range". It is teh funny!

Don't count on any real truck drivers purchasing.
