[quote=earlyretirement][quote=flyer]Great thread, and very interesting.
We’ve noticed the Tesla’s are also very popular among the film biz people. Since we invest in many projects, and my wife works in the industry, we’re on set often, and have noticed many key players driving them.
As others have mentioned, it should be interesting to see how things develop in the future.[/quote]
Hey flyer! Thanks.
Yeah, they are popular in Hollywood. Also, in the Bay area amongst high tech executives they are VERY popular. About 7 of my friends in the Bay area have just recently taken possession of one here or will in the next few weeks. And I’m sure several more will be ordering in the next few weeks.
It’s totally cool to see something so amazing made right here in the good ole USA and in California no less. This is why I tell people that say silly things like “The USA’s best days are behind it” are totally WRONG.
Our BEST days are ahead of us. This kind of technology makes me really proud to be American and totally excited to see what else comes in the future. When I think of what kind of cars some of us with young kids will be driving it boggles my mind.
Probably by then they will have self driving cars all on electricity that go 800 miles a charge. Exciting, exciting stuff![/quote]
Agree, ER.
It is great to see these innovations developing in the US–and I hope we see more.
At the same time, American made films are making billions of dollars in many foreign
countries–blasting domestic box office receipts out of the water.
