Perhaps from this: 200k cars sold * $7500 tax credit (+ the cars sold during the phase out, perhaps another 100k maybe at an average of $2500) Such credits are intended to go completely to consumers, but as many government programs have uni

Seems like a plausible solution, although I don't think we can trust a single institution like github with that kind of ledger. Why not a public blockchain? We need a large jurisdiction to experiment with these kinds of ideas though. D

I happen to have a modicum of sense, and realize Tesla has some serious management problems, but why is ordering machinery before having a location finalized nonsensical? It's not like this stuff is in transit or they need to buy any l

Given that Tesla says they can deliver a $35k model 3 to you in 2 weeks, I'd say they better be able to produce enough. Perhaps we'll see that delivery window slowly increase. Don't they just need to keep leasing them more sp
