I just got a phone call from Elon. He says: Rschneider, Thanks for the coverage and I hope we can build a $7500 EV that will give 600 miles on a charge and take 3 minutes to recharge. Just keep waiting we will see what happens. Your best bud, Elon

The good thing is that at least we have a country that has good areas for great solar production (as opposed to Canada). Mexico would be excellent but they just don't have the money to go all out on it. In the end, you never know, maybe we sell electric to Canada and Mexico.

Looks like they are going after BMW (the call it a SAC):

Those are for US customers and they are wrapped for shipment. The wrap will come off and they get a full inspection before delivered to the customers.

I just use specification package as opposed to needs. It's the same reason why the person that gave the list of reasons for not having a Solo was the same. It didn't meet his needs or specification package.

If you follow power company stocks, you'll see they have a problem. It's that we have slowly been replacing energy wasting appliances, insulating homes better and replacing all of those indecent bulbs. In the end, they have flat lined when it comes to overall electric usage. What most want are...

With the shares being so cheap, it's easy to pick up a few here or there when it drops below $2.50. I consider that a better risk as opposed to throwing down $1K years ago and agreeing on the $7K price. Right now if you buy up a bit here and there when it's cheap, you will make much more than...

You did miss the point. It's that people like to say that what you want or have never meets their specifications. I'll put it this way. I'd consider a FUV but it doesn't have 600 mile range, can't be used in the winter, no service areas nearby, not enough storage and it's too pricey. Instead...

It was like when I was at the BMW dealer picking up a piece of trim for my i3. They have a Mini dealer there too. When I came out, a guy was looking at my i3. He wanted to know if I liked it and then went into a long speech a to why he'd never own one. I just told him that I wouldn't expect him...

So, if Elio doesn't make a car, then you won't buy it, if they do, then you will. I run into the same thing. If Ford makes a 2021 Ford Fiesta for the US, I'll buy it. If they don't, then I won't.

I never understand these statements. It would be like me saying that I'd consider an RX-8 but it doesn't have a 995 cc three cylinder engine and it's not front wheel drive. or I'd consider a new Miata but it does not have tandem seating, it has two doors, doesn't give 85 mpg and it's too...

Don't mistake deliveries with sales. Tesla has a backlog to fill. What you need to post is the increase in the number of firm orders. Please show that.

I think VAG will be competition for Tesla. That's good because we want competition, not just Tesla being the only EV maker out there, that would be ridiculous. What VAG has going got it is they own MAN and Scania. Nobody in the US knows who they are but in Europe, they are all over the place...

He raised money before the reservations and reg A+ (looking for $15K investors). That was such a long time ago, I don't think anyone cares anymore.

VW already had an expensive brand here. It was called, Audi. So, look at the pricing structure of Audi vs VW and you'll see they overlap slightly. For example. An Audi Q3 is a VW Tiguan which is a Porsche Macan: Tiguan: $25k Q3: $33K Macan: $50K The Phaeton bombed worldwide due to it...

That's exactly the response that we need to see. As for the rest, they do nothing but just rehash the past and won't get you your Elio any faster.

Mom and Pop stores that run debt free doesn't work if they decided to run a global car company up against all of the heavyweights. This is why many mom and pop stores failed when the big box stores showed up. The best example are hardware stores. The ones that went back into debt to expand and...

Instead of moping around and kicking yourself in the butt, how about come up with real solutions? This forum is full of smart people that have many years of experience. Why not have a "Hey Paul" section? You need to remember, Paul probably gets 2 hours of sleep every night and wakes up the next...

VW is part of VAG. So that encompasses a number of companies. They are huge and the US market is actually not very big for them. So, what happened in the US was peanuts. In Europe they got punished but not close to what we did for a total of 400K cars sold between 2009 and 2015. In the US we...

Sounds like what Tesla does.
