Ask any tesla owner how they like it and you'll almost always get the same answer, I love it! It's the best car I've ever owned, I've got the X on order for september delivery

    and I've already got my reservation for the 3. Test drive it and you'll be amazed.

    Apple should buy them and let Elon take over future product development, the guys

    a visionary and has already changed 3 industries as we know them. Auto, Banking

    and space with more to come (energy)

    I agree with your "future of cars" assessment. Amazing performance, high safety ratings, and all electric.

    Once they get the economies of scale working, the prices should get more competitive, even as subsidies diminish.

    As long..

    ..as he continues to get gov't assistance he'll do fine. Your tax dollars at work.

    OUR tax dollars are at work for everything:

    The government subsidizes or deflates the price of agriculture and dairy, thus we are all on food stamps

    The government subsidizes the value of homes because of too little or too much water where private insurance companies claim they would be insolvent

    The government subsidizes our energy domestically and internationally with intervention and wars 

    Our airplanes

    Everything is underpriced, therefore an industry that seeks to neutralize the real cost in the long term, is also subsidized

    I just finished David Stockman's

    I just finished David Stockman's "Great Deformation" -- a 769 page polemic on the modern corruption of free markets from FDR forward. Excellent fiscal and monetary history that deepens the case against the Fed in the last crisis and fills in much that I didn't know from the New Deal forward. In terms of reputations, FDR down deeper; Eisenhower up; Nixon even deeper in the cellar; Reagan down; the Bushes sink deeper; Obama, hard to think it possible, but lower. Maybe the most important book I've read in the last decade and I read a lot of good books. I will read it many more times and can't recommend it highly enough. If anyone has arguments against him, I want to hear them, as it is a polemic. Just so much real data and insight from the inside of business and government. His attack is on the welfare and the warfare state. I was already with him on crony capitalism, but he's put forth a strong challenge on defense. I'm thinking it through.

    Yep, he's right on...

    It's criminal no matter how

    It's criminal no matter how much anyone loves the product. Not sure it will survive even with subsidies.

    cool! yes Apple could use
