re: Tesla Truck, under $50,000 and better than a F150

No, his problem is producing the car at a low enough cost, and high enough volume, to make a profit.

The car is fine. Everything else is shite. The plant they build them in (and out in the parking lot) had a capacity of 400K per year prior to Tesla taking it over. Tesla has not come close to that and frankly never will unless he allows someone else that knows what the hell they are doing to make the decisions on how to run the place.

Auto plants make money when running close to capacity. They lose huge sums when running at half capacity. Musk has not yet figured out how to build cars efficiently, unlike all the other auto manufacturers around the world, and the results are on the bottom line.

It should be noted that Tesla has made a lot of income selling carbon credits. Still lost money.

Musk is a salesman that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an actual manufacturing facility.
