Another bad week for #ElonMusk? It will be hacked again. What will it be like to not trust #Tesla cars you get into? http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37426442
#ElonMusk having a bad week, #SpaceX Explosion + 5% fall of Tesla stocks. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37247077
#Tesla unveiled new 100-kwh battery pack, pushing the range to 300-400 miles per charge and 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37171455
#Tesla #Gigafactory might be over budget and over time? Just a typical tech project then. http://fortune.com/2016/08/05/tesla-gigafactory-costs-delay/
It’s not about how big #Tesla losses are but how many more times can Elon gets away with missing production targets? http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/08/tesla-losses-grow-but-musk-says-production-goals-will-be-met-by-year-end/
#Tesla needs more than all battery manufacturing capacity others have today to build their cars. But they are only 0.5% of auto industry!
First fatal accident on autonomous (or semi-auto) #Tesla, there will be more, but it will still beat human per mile per fatality rate.
#ElonMusk should have known better to not get hung up on perfect safety records, etc. It’s just showing that they haven’t sold enough cars.
#Tesla did a great job with new #Model3 receiving over 400,000 orders so far. Global car sales in 2015, 82.8 million. That’s around 0.5%.
Not saying that #Apple shouldn’t be interested in the auto market, but will they make #iCar anytime soon? Not likely. Look at Tesla’s P/L.
#Volvo will put 100 driverless cars on Swedish roads by 2017. Elon Musk already said #Tesla will have something ready in 3 years. Get ready!
