Yes – it’s the Tesla S 70 D. new car – 4 wheel drive, 240 miles range. Retail is $80k before tricks. I have an S corporation and wondering about leasing it. I’m also thinking about renting it out to help pay for it (and justify it as a business expense). I’m looking on this Relay Rides web site and it looks like they are to rental cars what Uber is to taxis. People are getting $300/day to rent Teslas.
I’m just $10k away from paying off my house and I can afford it although this is the most expensive toy I don’t need I ever considered buying by a long shot. But I can’t truly worship Elon without having a Tesla. And it’s in blue, my favorite car color.
Since I went with SolarCity and also built my own tracking solar system I have now pumped 1 megawatt back into the grid. So I have enough electricity credit to drive from San Fran to New York. I also live 2 miles from a Tesla SuperCharger station so I can go get all the free power I want. And I’m just 40 miles from the factory so I could drive it off the assembly line.
How are you going to get back from New York?
I guess I’ll have to wait for my second megawatt hour to be generated. 🙂
Corporations are people so get two. One for you and another for the corporation.
“Own two of everything” Ad for an old used Caddy and another for parts.
Your big problem might be getting water soon. Maybe we’ll have WateRx and you will buy water at the drug store. They have Uber for pot deliveries. Stay on the couch stoned. Nevada is putting up $190K for each job at the new battery plant. Sell jobs for $100K and pocket $90K in government debt for saving money.

Silly me, I thought it was the only branch of government not for sale.

The gamble on Tesla’s gigafactory is a big one — in many fashions

Get a mansion too! If your neighbor is a corporation you might of been poisoned. Poison a neighboring state. Sell water testing kits for profit if the jobs gimmick doesn’t pan out.
I live in California. Every house is like buying a mansion.
Amazon will be able to send supplies with drones cheaper than parcel trucks on land.
Actually I think the gigafactory is Elon’s safest bet. If some other car company outsells him they are going to need to buy a lot of batteries.
Freedom Ship is a floating city project initially proposed in the late 1990s.[1] It was so named because of the “free” international lifestyle facilitated by a mobile ocean colony, though the project would not be a conventional ship, but rather a series of linked barges.
The Freedom Ship project envisions a 1,317m (0.818 miles)-long integrated city[2] with condominium housing for 50,000 people,[2] an airstrip to accommodate turboprop aircraft, duty-free shopping and other facilities, large enough to require rapid transit. The complex would circumnavigate the globe continuously, stopping regularly at ports of call

They’re crashing rockets into barges to develop land based systems. We need seacraft.
Problem is, the type of batteries he is planning to manufacture and which are used by Tesla are not used by any other EV or PHEV company…

Law degrees for sale: http://thirdtierreality.blogspot.com/2010/06/overflowing-obsure-toilet-barry.html
If a Nevada job is worth $190K a law degree is worth at least ten times that. For $1.9M you can make contracts and bleed the serfs. Utah using 5 cent bullets to save on power from electric chairs and injection drugs. NSA data center overflowing with email. All the Cubans are moving back to Cuba with Florida law degrees.
Ya. Go ahead! Get one. It’s not like it was ever your money in the first place. And it’s not like the over-taxed public don’t want to continue funding more stupid antics of the rich (like Mr. Musks’ Rocket fun). We know you old guys can’t get a stiffie any more and is why you need to buy crap that accelerates towards light speeds at the press of your foot (it’s not like your junk can do it at the sight of a pretty woman). So go ahead and reward him. Just make sure you take a jar of K-Y jelly or at lease some Vaseline when you go to the dealer.
… I’m reminded of a famous saying here (and I’m sure you can’t guess why), “Fools and their money are soon parted.”
No, absolutely not. Do not go in to dept to get a car, ever. Become financially independent then do what you want, not before.
Yes, of course.
With the water gone, parts of California are sinking at the rate of one foot a year. You can’t build enough electric cars or solar panels to make it survivable. Space is too expensive.
“Right now there is no open space for experimenting with new societies,” explains the Seasteading Institute’s chairman Patri Friedman. “Currently, it is very difficult to experiment with alternative social systems on a small scale.
“Countries are so enormous that it is hard for an individual to make much difference. The world needs a place where those who wish to experiment with building new societies can go to test out their ideas. All land on Earth is already claimed, making the oceans humanity’s next frontier.”

Buy two.
Drive one to charging station while the other is running your house.
Who needs solar when Elon provides free electricity?
Why, Why are you asking US???
I thought you were a mature HUMANIST adult capable of acquiring; collecting, developing your own evidence based research and making up your own mind based on facts and not others opinions?
1.) Where am I wrong?
2.) You’re not mature?
3.) You’re not a HUMANIST?
4.) You’re not an Adult?
5.) You’re not capable of acquiring, collecting, developing your own evidence based research?
6.) You’re not capable of making up your own mind?
7.) You’re not capable of …?
Not until Elon rolls out the fast battery swap station, for which he collected $100 million from California.
Is it possible to bring a private lawsuit, or place him under citizen’s arrest for fraud?
MikeN don’t be such a brown stain and answer your own question, try it! Let us know how it goes.
At first blush I’d say any electric vehicle (especially a Tesla) is a toy and novel and NOT something you will want for any length of time. I can imagine you purchasing or leasing this beast and having the novelty wear off in a month, with the commitment lasting much longer.
“Fast battery swap station” what a joke… Any four pump gas station in the country can easily handle a couple hundred cars a day. How many spare batteries can a station hold? You really think Amazon is going to deliver these batteries to the stations with drones? These cars will only work if there are in the minority, maybe 1 of every 100 on the road.
Stop worshiping Elon, he is just another douchebag using our tax dollars to play with instead of doing something good.
Perhaps Common Sense should practice a little more of his moniker… The batteries that are swapped out would be fast charged (like the Super Charger stations) and then ready to go in to another vehicle in about 30 minutes… So, all that is needed is a relatively small buffer of batteries…
Only there is no fast battery swap station, making Elon a fraud.
Going into debt to buy a depreciating item (not asset). People are stupid. Really, really stupid.
