The car itself is an unbelievable piece of futuristic machinery. And I can't imagine Musk and his businesses go under anytime soon.

What gets me is the cost analysis, and adding all the fueling and recharging stations and shite.

the thing is while I agree with you, the financials are downright atrocious but I commend them on trying to do it all with as little dilution as possible, the $1.3B they raised last week as executed at the highest price possible $262/share and only for a small portion, the rest came from convertible bonds,

The part that scares me is read how leveraged Elon himself is, he could get a margin call one day and send the stock spiraling. I love his enthusiasm but he's as leveraged as a human being should ever be to one company but I respect that so much bc it means he's hell bent on making it work.

The rumors recently were they needed more money than they got but they couldn't get that much, I really don't know, but I expect dilution c the capex needed is so big, but musk just seems to miss every deadline and he's said before that they dont need capital, that kinda stuff just irks me but I still believe in him

Kinda interesting Nikolai Tesla had all these amazing ideas and died broke and penniless and if Elon fails here he will be the same bc of how tied to Tesla he is now.
