CoronitaParticipantSpeaking of electric cars.
Tesla, me thinks, is finished.
The Model S looks impressive.

However, I can’t fathom anyone that would put a deposit down on that car when the company doesn’t even have a production factory yet, nor is your deposit put into an escrow account. (Seems like customer’s deposits are being used to pay older customer’s car that are in the queue.)
Once upon a time I entertained the idea that if Tesla built a sedan that was more affordable, I might consider the purchase.
Still, this seems like one big ponzi scheme
Can you say, the next tucker?

Participant[quote=AN]What’s so special about electric car?[/quote]
My point is that if a company doesn’t embrace future technologies — and in fact actively moves to bury them — then they will become obsolete and be surpassed by those companies who do embrace new technologies. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about electric cars or horse drawn carriages, this has been a truism of industry for eternity. Adapt or die!

Participant[quote=flu]One thing definitely consistent. Obama talks ==> Market tanks…. -290 now that he is actually talking about the GM plan.[/quote]
Staying out of the politics of this since I’m traditionally a liberal, but not thrilled with how Obama’s been handling things…
But, I have to comment on how funny this one statement is, FLU…
Obama was EVERYWHERE last week pushing his new bail-out-the-banks plan… Lots of speeches, town halls, lots of Tee-Vee, Leno, 60 minutes… You couldn’t hide from the man. The market went up last week (until Friday.)
Correlation does not equal Causation. He talks, the market goes up…
…or it goes down.
He stays quiet, the market goes up…
… or it goes down.I don’t think you can make a strong case for Obama speaking being the sole reason for the market swings.
