Tesla Roadster 0-60 in 1.9 seconds

I think there will be a lot of used car companies going bust over the next 15 years.

Sorry for the bump..... But this is a test ride that the Now You Know team https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMFmrcGuFNu_59L0pHcR0OA who are an excellent Tesla (and more) YouTube channel got in the car! Looks pretty amazing.

There have been lots of up & downs (mainly downs) for Tesla but the share price is soaring and it is the second most valuable car manufacturer in the world.

Don't bet against Musk getting his 50bn bonus...

How much do these cars depreciate....how does one assess the battery condition on say a 3 year old car.

cant comment on the roadster but pretty sure a used Model S is now worth more than it was new.

Just torch it, report it as stolen and claim off the insurance.

Tesla down $148 bucks a share @ 12:20 pm p.s.t. edit: from yesterday
profit taking i'd wager, or was this a classic pump and dump and a bunch in the know got their cash out?

The article I linked did say 18% of the shares were shorted and that equated to billions in losses. Maybe some have had to bail out before it gets worse?

thanks for that, didn't read the article tbf, lol. I just made the remark based on the disparity of the day to day share price. Has that "look" about it after such a quick rise.

Cheapest Model S on Autotrader is just under £27k with 132,000 miles. There is one cheaper but it's a Cat N (non-structural) write off.
