oldtimer Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Just now, dwilawyer said: Cross-marketing? It is quite clever. All of the elements are cutting edge. Even the choice of Bowie, who was the first, if not only entertainer who sold bonds based on the future royalties of his music. It is that rare instance of when all of the pieces just fit like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 What ole Elon has is a history of being a damn good BS'er, and salesman. He's got a good head and the money to buy all the capability he thinks he can sell. He saved Tesla from cardiac arrest, and I've been seeing his cars all over the place as of lately. Good looking cars, the S is a sexy looking beast, but that limited range makes it pretty much useless for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I can get it superchargers will be available pretty much anywhere I want to go. This is the auto of the future and I intend to have one. First time ever we've been able to purchase a car with software upgradable to the latest. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are free charging stations all over Austin, priority parking for electric cars at Whole Foods, etc. How many charging stations are there in Texarkana?

Mallette Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 One supercharger...all I need. Part of the benefits of living in a city big enough to have an excellent symphony and everything else I need, but nothing more that 10 minutes away.

Mallette Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Blue Origin's New Shepherd performed a pretty spectacular flight. Bezos is dead serious about space and the competition is great. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
