I guess we wait and see what the future brings, but for now, me and mine will stick with a good old internal combustion engine...My Fusion Sport is fast enough to get me trouble!!....Ride safe
    They are far from being out of business.Just east of Reno NV they have built a 4.5 million sq ft facility that is 30% ramped up building batteries for there cars and new tech battery/solar units to tie in and aid residential power consumption.Forbes has said because of there new technology battery manufacturing prices for there batteries will drop and will be very competitive in a global market.In fact they just purchased another 1000 acres in the Tahoe industrial center to build another large factory-Speculation is that some of there new cars or who knows semis will be built there.I would not bet against Musk as he has spent a load of money but can see long range in terms of profit and technology.Plus he has brought thousands of good paying middle class jobs to our area.Were seeing true trickle down economics because of this with new jobs there is a need for new housing ect.Real boom here in Northern Nevada and the Tesla projects started it all.Google,Amazon,Walmart distribution and the worlds largest Cloud called Switch which backs data information world wide are all in the same Industrial center now.Projected jobs to reach 40-50 thousand over the next ten years.

    Maybe so, maybe not.....Pure speculation on Musk's part for now and only time will tell....I hope he brings jobs and etc. but some of the best intentions fail....I wish them luck and at my age don't really care as by the time all this electric stuff is available in the market place I doubt I will have much interest...I am for technology and progress for the world as my 16 Grandkids will live in it, but for now I will stick with what I think is best for me....Regards
