My mom and brother in law both own Teslas. They love ’em. They would pay more for them if they had to and would buy them again in the future. They drive then from California to here in New Mexico for visits. I.C E. vehicles will be around for a long time but electric is here to stay.

He could go to jail. There is talk of Ambien mixed with alcohol with nobody screening the tweets before they went out. If Tesla goes down to the shorts or whatever that’s one thing. Electric cars have never worked, and will not, until a much more energy dense battery is developed with solid state technology that can take a harder charge and discharge rate without catching on fire, which is actually being developed in Japan right now. However it would be a disaster if Musk’s personal “difficulties” resulted in something negative spilling over to SpaceX.
