I think they have a good chance of success, and may be building 500,000 cars per year in a few years.

If you look at what they are actually achieving in production you would know this is an impossible fantasy. Anyway, you obviously weren't interested enough to read up on how low the actual production is so I cant imagine you are going to change your mind!

I will leave the discussion there, I have no interest in the company as an investment anyway.
 
Making sense now. Doesn't say much for the medical and related professions, does it? When a billionaire can't find enough money to pay someone to actually listen properly. OTOH, his belief may be creating the reality.

Mate they have produced 250,000 Model S and X, and the Model 3 production line has only just started up like a month ago.

You need to research what an S curve is. all new production lines follow an S curve in production.

You asked me to read through a site, but you didn't provide a link to any articles, and the site has already mislead you, and their claims have already been debunked, so forgive me for not wanting to trawl through a site.

If there is something in particular you want us to read provide a link, but be sure to fact check it first.

Really, they are not really a car manufacturer by any normal definition, they hand make a few cars

Can you at least have the intellectual honesty to admit your original claim quoted above is false.

Again if you still think they are "Hand making" cars, watch this video again.

and keep in mind this is the model S production line, the model 3 production line is much much bigger, and only just at the start of the ramp up phase.




This video here show footage Musk tweeted in response to the article I think you might have read, debunking its claims, it shows the Model 3 production line in operation, as the ramp up progresses.



Model 3 production line running at 1/10th speed in early phases of testing, as each production areas passes testing phase and robot training, the production line speeds up. following an s curve.

Musk started a company which launched a rocket into orbit - first private business to do so. And has been instrumental in forcing the hand of major car manufacturers to pump billions into EVs. Oh....and before all that he turned nothing into $200mill.

Very, very impressive character by anyone's standard.

He jumped the gun by designing an induction engine for the car while everyone else was still using the DC engine with all its problems because it was easier. now all the big car manufacturers have to take battery powered cards seriously.

First mover advantage, especially when he has so much time, should allow him to become a long term car manufacturer. Obviously, the existing manufacturers have advantages with items such as door handles and automation lines experience. But a lot of their advantages, engine patents etc. are irrelevant as the technology is so different. The danger is the Chinese. they can really pump out the cars and are going electric in a big way.

His rocket program is more successful than North Korea, The North Koreans are struggling to get a rocket that can carry a payload across the Pacific Ocean.

Mean while Musk is getting payloads into space, orbiting earth, and then landing the rocket back on its launch pad,.... a bit of a show off really, HAHAHA
 
China is looking at pumping out electric cars over the next decade. They want petrol cars off the roads asap.
Good time to look for ops to capitalize.
 
Yes Tesla will get swamped by the existing car manufacturers that swap the ICE for the EM. Great idea the intercontinental rocket ship. Shows with enough money anything is possible.

Watched the shows on the weekend. Speed isn't important. Tesla should be putting 1000km range batteries in their mass production vehicles. Best range, charging time, battery life and traction motor life will sell like hot cakes.

Yep, the only problem is, you have used half the battery charge.

Instant grunt is the major benefit of electric motors, have you ever watched a really long conveyor belt full of ore start, it doesn't pizz about, instant full speed.
