Buy real estate. Don't waste your money on depreciating assets.

They look cool...that's about all i know.
Only other thought is that their location over in Leeds sure seems a bit out of place. |

Go watch the Joe Rogan/Musk interview.
He's got shit programmed in these cars that owners of the initial run still haven't figured out yet.

I'm giving my daughter my 2010 Buick Lacrosse for college graduation so I have to get a car by May.
Been really looking into getting a used 2015-16ish Tesla or the new Jaguar I-Pace SUV. I figure with the way I drive I'm already spending $300/month in gas and a car payment is $500 no matter wtf I get... Might as well get a model S. |

When are the tax incentives going to expire?

There's 2 ways to look at it.
There's a number for manufacturers to NOT get the $7500 credit. I think Tesla and GM are close to that quota (with the Bolt). Other manufacturers are still in the clear. (Jaguar). There's legislation being tossed around to stop with the credit across the board. |

Are you planning to smoke a fatty with Musk?
I don't see me ever having a Tesla, but I should probably get a hybrid at some point. I spend a lot of weeks driving 500-1000 miles in a 3/4 truck. |

Looked it up:
If you want to want to take advantage of Tesla's $7,500 federal tax incentive, you'll have to reserve one before October 15th and pay for it before the year ends. Back in July, the automaker announced that it has already sold 200,000 units, and under the law, that means it has hit the ceiling for federal tax credits. Now, the company has revealed a timeline for the incentive's phase out, so you plan accordingly. The company guarantees that all orders placed by October 15th will be delivered by the end of the year. You'll have to take delivery -- that is, pay your balance in full "either personally or by way of guarantee from a financing institution" -- by December 31st, 2018, but you will get the full incentive. If you put off your purchase or don't take delivery until next year, though, you can say goodbye to that $7,500 in savings. Purchases delivered from January 1st to June 30th, 2019 will only get a $3,750 credit, while those delivered from July 1st to December 31st, 2019 will only get $1,875. After that, Tesla will no longer be able to offer tax incentives. In case you were waiting for the $35,000 Model 3 and were hoping to buy it for $7,500 less, consider that dream canceled.

I have a question.
Electric automobiles are supposed to be environmentally friendly ... that's the appeal, right? Yet, the electricity used to charge the batteries has to be generated and there is an environmental effect to that, correct? Do you guys know of a study that compares the impact of electric vehicles vs. gas in respect to total environmental impact? FAX |
