They could not sell many cars if it wasn't far the federal tax credit of $7500 from all of us!

This is just ridiculous, all the cars they've sold have been pretty expensive, you act like people paying $90k for a model s couldnt pay $7500 more. They could easily, but yes the government has subsidized the first few, I believe up to 200,000 maybe 250,000.

Anyways, do you have a cheap flat screen tv? You can thank the early adopters there that paid $8k 15 years ago to help invest in the product bringing down its future costs, tesla did the same, using wealthy people to finance future cars. Lots of brands do this. Lamborghini when it was done with the murcielago launched the reventon which was $2M each and sold 20 or 25 units, not because the car was worth it, but because the profits from the car would help finance future cars.
