General Discussion

Tesla has ramped up employment to 3000 people as of the end of Q2 and is still hiring. I can not figure out what all these people are doing since the plant is so heavily automated. Still the old NUMI plants employment has NOTHING to do with Tesla - a different company producing very different automobiles in a very different way.

As to not having dealerships - big deal - who says dealerships employ more people than the retail stores that Tesla is opening except for one key difference. This car does not need much conventional service - or mechanics as it has very few parts in it and is mechanically a simple vehicle.

So exactly what is all the bitching about? This is a great car and it serves a great purpose which is to lay the groundwork for the Gen 3 vehicle that everyone will be able to buy and own and which will save us a tone of coin in operating costs and prevent oil money from going into the hands of Arab terrorists.

The only problem I can see is they need much more coin to develop these things to market faster. Much faster.

This is a great car company.
