Isn't Tesla on its way to bankruptcy?

We all know which one had the more profound effect on more people.

Yup.

CEO is about on par with the old head of DeLorean.

Fire shouldn't be the chief reason for dismissing a car. Plenty of first production run 458's went up in smoke. I would gladly recycle whatever is left of the burnt remains, lol.

No, infact the Model S was still underway last I heard. Perhaps you're thinking of some other startup car company, FiskerKarma or someone else.

No, that was the Volt and the Fisker Karma. To be fair, it wasn't the Volt's fault.

Keep up man.

Edit: Here's the story of the Volt catching fire.

Somebody posted something similar on FB, and I gave them the answer:


IT HAS A GIANT TOUCHSCREEN.


How could it lose?

Yes. The same deadbeat who founded PayPal, which might just be the worst internet startup there ever was.

Not sure on that one. They are hiring big time right now, I personally know 3 people that just started and are working plenty of hours. Also they recently opened a new plant in Germany right across from BMW ( in the last year or so I believe). Doesn't sound like a company on the verge of bankruptcy to me.
