I'm beginning to crash now. I'll have to read it later.

Thanks for posting it. I'm sure there's some very interesting information in there.

You have to give them credit for the cars they've made. Sure, the cars are overpriced for what you get, but they work and people seem to like them.

The company, however, can be quite fraudulent in it's promises of self-driving, future vehicles, pricing, etc. They're also not that great on fixing/maintaining the cars they've sold.

Now, outside of Tesla, Elon Musk is even more fraudulent. I could go on and on about that...
