[url]http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/01/14/us-autoshow-tesla-idUKBREA0D14H20140114[/url] [quote]Electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc said on Tuesday deliveries of its Model S sedan in the fourth quarter blew past what the company had forecast, sending shares up 10 percent. Tesla delivered 6,900 Model S sedans in the quarter, 20 percent above what the company had forecast, Jerome Guillen, the company's vice president of global sales and service, said at the Detroit auto show. Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's vice president of business development, said later that the company has no plans to work with a partner to develop a new family of compact cars, known internally as Gen III and slated for production in 2017. He said Chief Executive Elon Musk was committed to developing the cars alone.[/quote]

Tesla would never last they said. Toys for rich people they said.

You clearly know what you're talking about [URL="http://imgur.com/G3bulUB"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/G3bulUB.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/QUOTE] But if it stops growing in a few days then it wasn't worth while and probably will dip back down because people are seeing it settle and start selling. You can buy high sure if you know they're going to grow, but in a lot of cases you end up selling lower.

Elon's sheer determination to succeed cannot be stopped. Can't wait to see the Model X and then the more affordable car.

Its a shame I'll never be able to afford one

[QUOTE=OvB;43537531]Tesla would never last they said. Toys for rich people they said.[/QUOTE] They're still toys for rich people and will remain so for the next 5-10 years, doesn't mean they can't be profitable but let's not start pretending that their products are accessible yet

[QUOTE=Zeke129;43538495]They're still toys for rich nd will remain so for next 5-10 years, doesn't mean the t be profitable but let's not start pretending that their products are accessible yet[/QUOTE] They're more like daily driver reliable vehicles for wealthy people. Toy for the rich is more like a little Sunday driver like like the Tesla roadster. I see model S fairly often in Texas and there's a town near Silicon valley where 15% of people drive Teslas.

I bought $1000 of tesla last week! Also my account was liquidated today!

If they would make an economy version that I can buy for $12,000 - $15,000 new, I would buy one for sure. For now this kind of car is still out of reach for a majority I think. Still, glad there's any competition with gas fueled cars so it's still a good thing I guess.

Electric cars for $15k will probably exist one day but they won't have Tesla written on them.

Even their "economy" Model E is going to cost what, $40k?

They're going to build the biggest lithium battery plant in north America explicitly for mass producing cheaper batteries.

One of their main plans right now is to find ways to make the cars more affordable and accessible.

Teslas whole existence is to advance EV tech so that they can eventually make cheap cars. They made expensive low volume cars first because thats the easiest way to start. No ones going to invest billions into a start up to buy mass production plants and factories. Many EV companies tried and failed that way. You have to prove yourself first. Not to mention Tesla already supplies batteries and powertrains to Smart, Honda and Merecedes for their EVs. [editline]14th January 2014[/editline] Model S and X are low volume, high cost luxury cars. Model E will be their first medium cost mass market car, then after that they want a truck to compete with Ford, and high volume, low cost cars.

I'd obviously love a $20k Tesla 8-12 years down the line but honestly, I just can't see it happening But hey maybe I'll be wrong and Tesla will become a household name like Ford, that would be the best kind of being wrong
