And now some are saying Elon Musk and his companies are a fraud.

I am afraid this might escalate and bring down the whole pyramid.

Who was it on here that said Tesla would be bankrupt and out of business in 3-4 months back in Feb or Mar ? Well your called out, its almost August. The whole deal is Musk just overspends expanding. My stock is still up over $120 per share from what I paid. If I sold it, id make $100k. Pretty good for just 2 years. Better than the few thousand it would have made in a bank. Only the future will bring out any truth. Im betting ill still be driving my 'free' car while you all are paying $10 a gallon for gas. The cars dont just disappear, even if the company would possibly completely fail. Im not worried in the slightest. I cant lose...if stock drops to what I paid for it, I might consider selling it...but still keeping the car. As it stands, the money is making me money and the car is costing me nothing other than the original purchase...and at over $400 a month savings, ill recover most of that sooner or later.

Roger, I really don't care if you got a great deal or not. And whether you are still driving your Tesla around or not. I just find it interesting as a piece of news. If it truly is a problem with his over expanding it would not be the first time some company did that and crashed. I do not wish that his company dies, because right now it seems to be keeping a lot of people employed.

I did. And, while what I said about bankruptcy did not come true, Tesla is not doing as well as you think. I also did not say out of business. I so could post daily about Tesla troubles.

Would you like me to carry on Roger? Do we really need to prove you wrong here? Shat, just those few months back you talked of over $200,000 profit off of your stocks. Now you are under the base price of a Model S?

There are one hell of a lot of companies around working on the fraud business model.

Sell something you don't have and can't produce, then try to find a way to make it work once you have the suckers money.

I've worked for a few of them.

Unless u got a large rooftop solar pv system and a battery to store the juice to charge yr car, yer still paying for the gas to make the city electricity to charge your car. Big ol diesel engine hooked up to a giant alternator powers the city. One of my renters works for tesla, so many problems w the new model. many parts need a redesign, and to make them fit-the parts next to them must be redesigned also. That poor guy works 70+ hours a week, hes never home.

That article in the Post was a complete farce click bait, and fake news. Even someone who halfway pays attention to Space X and Tesla would know this.

I see an awful a lot of Telsa's out on the road now and many of them are model 3's.

More than 50K of them have been produced and on the road now.

Doesn't seem like a fraud to me.

Even DeLorean walked away.
