I'm pretty sure that working out the "big kinks" is what the 25 engineering vehicles are for :)

Unfortunately they are not being made on the Shreveport assembly line, so major difference in how they are being produced. Production kinks were the ones I was thinking of, not engineering kinks. Those I would hope would be ironed out with the E-series, like high speed instability or anything of that nature.

True, not the Shreevesport assembly line, but they will be built on a mock-assembly line with the specific purpose of getting the process down pat. A large part of the expense of the E-vehicles is the production-line tooling that they are prepping. After the E cars are done, that machinery is gonna be replicated and installed in Shreevesport :)

Last 8 years .... Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ..... but not ready yet....isn't that too long?

Frame and engine mount designs for manufacture-ability have been completed and sent out to the partner companies. At this point, the 25 test vehicles will be assembled starting around Mid March, which keeps us on-track for Q4 2016.

"Like" X 5
It was a rhetorical question.

<"Rhetorical question
A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked to make a point rather than to elicit an answer.[1] Though classically stated as a proper question, such a rhetorical device may be posed declaratively[citation needed] by implying a question, and therefore may not always require a question mark when written. Though a rhetorical question does not require a direct answer, in many cases it may be intended to start a discussion or at least draw an acknowledgement that the listener understands the intended message.">

I took that as meaning he wanted to be able to "Like" the post 5 times instead of the one time allowed by the forums. And not meant as: "Like totally take 5 times longer, man."
