How to Build a Tesla, Robots at work! The True American Spirit
 

Hey guys,

I came across this video, what is the True American Spirit, this guy could be sitting on his butt and smoking cigars, but he has chosen to use his PayPal sell money ($170M) to do what is considered a Revolution.

I know that some of you do not like to hear about an Electric Cars, but the idea of using robots a bit different way might be interesting to watch. Also, this is brand new factory with technology we (USA) should enjoy in every industry. PLUS this car MADE IN USA, it will use US made electricity, and no maintenance needed.

Model X will be next: Electric Tesla Model X

thx for posting this - very interesting - and even more interesting to compare the Tesla and McLaren production techniques

A Tesla is just over 50% American made parts

I think all of the manufacturers are using parts that made globally...

Also, more news about Tesla, they will make under $30k car soon, so that proves that they want to make it available for everyone... :D

Elon Musk Confirms Smaller Tesla in $30,000 Range After Model X - Automotive News

They have one of the display chassis at a "dealership" in the mall here. Some of the worst welding I've ever seen.

Tesla + Google = Interesting ... http://blogs.barrons.com/stockstowatchtoday/2013/05/31/teslas-musk-good-chance-of-google-partnership-35000-auto/

Plus they paid off their loan :D Tesla Repays $465 Million Loan from Federal Program

I don't care if the girls from Hooters makes them. I'm not owning one.

I wonder about the economics of a $30K model.

This is ALL about the choice!!! God Bless America !!! :D

video fixed on the first post :D

I'm all for EVs.
They make damn good sense for a good percentage of most driving habits, and as a second "american family" car.

But:
The Tesla S is just a very expensive Lotus EV conversion,
The government repayment is just using private gambling money to repay a corporate gift paid by taxpayers (responsible of them, though ;))

We have to start somewhere with technology involved, This is 21st century and we are in the dark ages - Combustion Engines were invented a long time ago...

If we able to send man to the moon, I thinks new kind of cars are WAY OVERDUE....

This does't have to be EVs, but electricity is widely available, why not start with EVs and move to other technologies...


As far as money goes, I expressed it in my blog a long time ago: http://1-ev.blogspot.com/2011/05/1-evcom-at-delray-beach-3-charging.html

My 2c, -Y.

Is your car put together like your website?

Man didn't get to the moon in an electric vehichle. Good old combustion with smoke & fire and lotsa noise. Like it should be.

not really, it's not my choice to pay tesla to build cars so someone else will get a big tax incentive to buy them

I hear Flowmaster is making an exhaust for it ....

Man didn't get to Rome in no flyin' vehichle. Good old solid wood wheels on the road and lotsa noise from the ox carts and horse drawn chariots. Like it should be.

them thar boys from that bicycle shop ain't a nevah gonna fly thet thar thing

It's comical how folks think Tesla or any of the other EV guys are "inventing" or discovering grand things. This is more like rigging a goat to a cart instead of a horse because the goat eats less.
