>ITZZZ NEVER GONNA MEK IT GUIZZZZE !!!!111!!! >IT HAS TOO

It's clickbait dude. It exists to drive advertising, not to inform.

The surest way to get someone to click something is to heavily imply that it will reinforce their biases.

I quite like this Paul Graham snippet
>The political commentators who come up with shifts to the left or right in their morning-after analyses are like the financial reporters stuck writing stories day after day about the random fluctuations of the stock market. Day ends, market closes up or down, reporter looks for good or bad news respectively, and writes that the market was up on news of Intel's earnings, or down on fears of instability in the Middle East. Suppose we could somehow feed these reporters false information about market closes, but give them all the other news intact. Does anyone believe they would notice the anomaly, and not simply write that stocks were up (or down) on whatever good (or bad) news there was that day? That they would say, hey, wait a minute, how can stocks be up with all this unrest in the Middle East?

This has happened before with the Porsche 911.

If you don't know about the Porsche 911, it was very similar to the Tesla because it promised to change the world.
It used an engine unlike any other. This futuristic engine was cooled by air conduction, instead of water like normal cars. Meaning that it didn't need a radiator, water pump, hoses were all redundant.
And even more crazy, is that the engine was placed at the rear of the car, instead of the front. And as psychics tell us, pushing an object requires less energy than pulling.

The 911 was a hit when it was announced and orders poured in.
In the 60's and 70's Porsche had so many orders for their 911 sports car that they could not keep up with demand.
They even created the 912 - which was the same exact car as the 911, but built in Austria instead of Germany.
By 1974, Posche had added a 913, and 914, again completely the same as the 911 and 912.

And soon even a 918 joined the lineup. On the advice of Slovakian factory manager Richard Marcinko, they skipped the 915, 916, and 917 to give the impression that they were producing more cars than they actually were, in the hopes that people would stop placing orders.

Not long after, the company had to close down because people kept wanting to buy their expensive products for large sums of money. Its basic free market economics. A large demand is never a good thing.

You mean like the porsches and volkswagons made in the 50's and 60's? No way.

Why? The background you provided did not explain why they shut down, especially when Porsche is still alive today.

They made a cool car once but that's it. Eventually they were in trouble for not having created anything else. But when an economist tells it it's magically self explanatory.

Are all limp/biz/kits this tone deaf?

>>1226719
He was being sarcastic you dope.

Porsche become popular from the 911. They had to make new and cheaper models so they could capitalize on a larger market.

That capitalization wouldn't have been made possible if the 911 didn't come along.

The problem isn't about the popularity of the cars. Elon has proven he can build cars which people (personally I don't like the looks of the X or Model 3, S is ok) find attractive.

However, his business model might prove to be the problem. He's charged $1.000 for all those pre ordered cars which means he got like $ 500.000.000 in extra cash right now. He REALLY needs that cash to build the factories and produce all the cars and batteries.

BUT, even with that amount of money it will be hard to realize a factory which can produce 500K cars and batteries by 2018, or even by 2020. People have a right to get the $1.000 refunded at that time.

So it's all about whether or not you believe Musk can achieve the impossible (again) before time runs out.

Tesla will never survive which such insane demand

>>1228291
Honestly I wouldn't say that which such certainty. The amount of orders received should give a good signal to investors (and I mean a raise in capital or debt).

Elon Musk has yet again proven that he can create a product which is very wanted and for which people are willing to pay. If he runs out of money there's a pretty good chance others will come to the rescue as has happened literally every time so far in his entrepreneurial career.

The guy has a clear vision and goal, don't understimate the power of that determination.
