They're having a serious case of not enough imagination. They might have
used Colt, except that I think someone already named a car that, and it
was not a hit (IIRC).
I say they hire that company in San Francisco (or is it New York?) to
make up a name that conveys the message of an inexpensive electric car?
Cheapion!

I wasn’t paying a lot of attention, but I heard some report on TV or
radio that the Chevy Bolt should be out before the Tesla S and would
be serious competition. I’m not loving the name. Chevy used to name
things starting with a “C”, maybe it should have been the Colt. Not
sure about their current naming conventions, is the Spark an EV or not?

Huh. I'm in Northern Nevada, and I've seen tons of Teslas. And that's
before the Gigafactory. I even saw one in Beijing. Just zip down to
your nearest Supercharger if you want to rubberneck. Odds are there's
not once too far away, though there are still some blank spots in the
middle of the country. You can find out at:

I'm always struck dumb by these conversations. I've seen one or two
Corvettes, but they only come out in the summer. A Mustang or a
Camaro is the most "luxurious" car I'm likely to see day to day. My
house was $68,000. I got a Hyundai Accent for $10k. Debating between
a $50,000 or $100,000 car seems foreign to me.
At a dealership I saw a Viper on display, but seeing one on the road
is like a UFO sighting.
I've literally /never/ seen a Tesla. That would be like seeing a NASA
moon rover on the street with Buzz Aldrin at the wheel. Severe
rubbernecking would take place.

I sort of agree with you on the model 3. But for the model S, it's
great in its market niche. If I were in the market for an Audi A8,
BMW 750 or large Mercedes S-class, the full size luxury sedans
they're competing with...
In Vancouver and Seattle I have seen considerably fewer full size
gasoline luxury cars and a lot more new model S driving around in
the last 2 years.
I would rather buy a model S/P100D and enjoy ludicrous mode.

The Model 3 is going to be a mess for their stock, once it
actually releases in 2018.
"Starting price of $35,000"... but that is a bare-bones model,
and includes the Fed tax break... which by the time they
actually release cars, their allotted amount of tax credits may
already be used up by their current cars. I'll bet more than
half of the people ask for their deposits back once they see the
car is $50,000.
I've driven BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, and even a
Lamborghini for a test drive, and there are much better cars for
$50k than what this Model 3 will be. There are WAY better cars
than their current Model S for $100k+. The whole company is
riding the "hype train" and at some point, it will run out of
track. They can't keep losing $10k on every car they sell and
stay in business forever.

TSLA prices feel so predictable right now. Every quarter change
they tank because the books are so dire. Every mid-quarter they
ride the hype train all the way back up when Elon does another

Wells Fargo is paying a 3.0% dividend right now... Tesla pays
nothing. Tesla is also highly overrated according to everyone
in the stock market. If it's a short-term thing, you may do
OK... long term, you have to factor in the 3% you were making
on Wells ($1,500/year) and compound that into the value.
Wells is still one of Warren Buffet's biggest holdings.
