    In February 2014 when JERRYZ posted this and was buying Tesla shares they were at $244.81/share. Today in post-closing trading Tesla shares last traded at $203.62. In between, they have traded as high as $383. And now Elon will be competing for sales by all the top German, Japanese and U.S. manufacturers. I would not touch Tesla, except perhaps as a short. But what do I know, I drive blue Ferraris!

    Built a car from scratch (SCG 003) and ran 6.33 at the 'Ring. In that car, Jeff Westphal won pole position at the 2017 Nürburgring 24 Hours. He became the first American in the race’s 45-year history to win pole position and he did it with an American-owned team, in a car dreamed up by an American. All while competing against teams supported by major manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes.

    Turns out, there is about 1 trillion worth of minerals (including rare earths) in.......Afghanistan......
    However, issue can be solved by more investment in mining, the stuff we need is in the ground and China is leading the supply chain by investing in mining.

    Check out Robbie Diamond and http://secureenergy.org/

    Do you know the real cost of securing America's oil supplies ?

    http://secureenergy.org/report/military-cost-defending-global-oil-supplies/

    Highlight: At minimum, approximately $81 billion per year is spent by the U.S. military protecting global oil supplies. This is approximately 16 percent of recent DoD base budgets. Spread out over the 19.8 million barrels of oil consumed daily in the U.S. in 2017, the implicit subsidy for all petroleum consumers is approximately $11.25 per barrel of crude oil, or $0.28 per gallon. A more extensive estimate by two highly-regarded economists suggests the costs could be greater than $30 per barrel, or over $0.70 per gallon.

    Hmm... I think we're now the world's largest producer of oil.

    And don't forget EVs are heavier than their ICE competition and wear down the road quicker (as well as their tires).

    The trucks pay the tax.

    Also, don't shift the goal posts. So you admit they are heavier and wear the road more like a truck. Thanks

    interesting... the person in charge of resources for the largest battery user/producer... headed to washington to warn of shortages for production.

    Yes... there are LARGE deposits in Afghanistan. Looks like your argument of cost for securing oil... might switch to other finite resources... There is a shocker.

    Ive always said we are trading one finite resource for another. The costs of something we all depend on will equalize and will always be valued and therefore need to be defended.

    Thank you for making my point.

    Please add a portion of your 70 cents to your costs just like you did for oil.

    He ran cars that are prototypes that have basically zero basis for production and homiligation.

    People build fast race cars all the time.

    I never called you a dumbass. I never said I was smarter than you.

    What is your deal?

    You can't defend your points and fold like a card table chair when someone resists your ideology... then call yourself names?

    Grow up. Defend your points.

    So by this one could assume that you are a Tesla fan and not an EV fan. You would rather Tesla have the market all to themselves and you don't want to see other companies become successful in creating good EVs to transition the world to a lower carbon footprint?

    I won't assume... Ill just ask... is this what you want... because that is EXACTLY how you are coming across.

    Seriously ? After your blanket statement that I don't actually understand how the world works (but of course you do). I have nothing further to say to you, Sir.
