He has to drive it a few times a year to Columbus, OH from Oil City, PA to get upgrades, tweaks, re-flashes on this or that but no mechanical issues yet (that he originated as a concern). I don't think he has 25k miles though.

I wonder if Tesla will become the DeLorean of the future, who was also involved with LOTUS. |

If you are going to pick a winner he better be special. Does anyone know if Tesla has a Facebook policy for employees?

There is a pelican who works there and some past threads.
I'm sure there is a heavy NDA, as with most companies, plus it is bad form to discuss. I lost interest when they went for the 2-$peed transmission, booted founders, and turned to the government/stocks route. |

I work there quite a bit.
When I read about a 'suspension issue' I was shocked it was a ball joint. There are bigger issues with their suspension. Ball joints have never been mentioned to me as a source of problems. Which is why I was inclined to side with Tesla on this one customer issue. There are other issues that would have elicited a different response from me.

In reading the article linked in the OP, it sounds like there are some suspension issues. The following tale they tell sounds like BS. Two tow trucks, really? I guess one of the tow trucks would only work on a paved road or something.

Why is Tesla a "massive scam" ?
It only seems a scam to the people that will be left holding the TSLA bubble bag

How unsustainable exactly? How do you see the endgame of Tesla? 5 years? 10 years?
