Looks like wish-full thinking not a solution to the inevitable disposal. After that we launch the batteries and Elon to Mars .. On a serious knot your right it will be a big issue in the future ,,,and as we now governments and people like Elon are short sighted and not interested in the long term problem until It becomes a problem to them .. Just look at the amount of products and procedures that were once labeled as the greatest thing that are now considered Bad ,,,, asbestos for example once pushed as being the wonder product of its time ,,,These days mere mention of the word sends people into a panic ...

He'll need to light up another blunt to chill that erratic explosive brain after he did more damage to the Tesla brand. If not he'll have to up his dose of ambien to make a legit excuse for his recent past 5 or 6 public faux pas' From a Tesla or Elon brand perspective, why he ever went on Rogan's podcast is beyond me, nothing to be gained just a scenario to come across more unhinged than before - hasn't he ever watched Joe's podcasts? The next day an 8% share drop to the lowest this year and Tesla CAO and also the head of HR both quit and beat a hasty path to the nearest exit ..... Not in the Bob Marley league at all but Bubba Bill inhaled on his cigar once it was back in his lying gob after Monica had inhaled it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 10September, 2018 Report Share Posted 10September, 2018 A Tesla P100D is $250K aud and a model S start at around $120K aud according to the Aus carguide site .. I can see the Taycan going head to head with the P100D in that price range and totally leaving it for dead in build quality alone .. But I dont know if Porsche intend to bring out a entry level car to compete with the model S .. VW has a range of EV golfs in a pre production Mule and looks to be planning a big assault on the budget run about EV market very soon , in May this year VW purchased $48 billion dollars worth of batteries for these cars ... VW plans to sell 3 million EV a year world wide by 2025 .. The only Mercedes EV I have seen is the EQ and it looks to be a electric Hot Hatch ,,but again I have only seen concept and prototype images ,,,and not sure if we will even get it ,,,this is much the Same with BMW .. I have not looked at Audi E tron as I expect that Audi will share Tech with Porsche in some way due to the close relationships they have as part of VW Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 23September, 2018 Report Share Posted 23September, 2018 It seems some adventurous American Hot rodders have found a novel way of putting a tesla to good use once the batteries die ....... Simple pull all the batteries and electric motors out and put a V8 in ..? I would say this is obviously a lot of work ,,,but when you see some of the wild hot rod combinations and creations that come out of the U.S and we all have ,,,,,, I can see this was going to happen sooner or later .......... https://insideevs.com/tesla-model-s-fitted-chevrolet-ls3-v8-engine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 28September, 2018 Report Share Posted 28September, 2018 Go stand in the naughty corner Elon... https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/27/sec-sues-elon-musk-accuses-him-of-making-false-statements-about-taking-tesla-private/ The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Thursday accused Tesla chief Elon Musk of making false and misleading statements in August when he tweeted that he was “virtually certain” that he could take the electric car company private. The SEC has asked the court to bar Musk from as a director or officer of a public company, which would mean he would have to step down as the head of Tesla. It is also seeking monetary fines and penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
