Good news with the price of gas.

Remember when Elon promised the unicorn Tesla for $35k? How long did it take for him to deliver? over a year later, and now you still can't order one unless it's from a dealer - yeah. Remember all those dealers he cut?

Promises the sky, and rarely delivers EXACTLY what he promises. He even acknowledged they couldn't build the 35k model 3 without taking a loss, something more than a few people in the industry told him.

Towing - I don't doubt the towing capacity. Electric makes a lot of torque. but eats a lot of juice. Let's see how well it holds up for range when towing even 5,000 pounds.

I believe that would be the concept unveiling. Production might be 2 or 3+ years away.

I wonder what kind of range it will offer? Towing can burn a lot of energy fast, and when I'm towing our camper I am often going someplace with no electricity.

Except he delivers.

I remember a story about a friend where he borrowed $50,000 to meet his payroll. The friend is skeptical he can do it and had written the money off.

Guess, what, he got the first Tesla delivered to his house (which by now must be collectible).

Elon Musk says a lot of things.

I'm looking forward to reviewing its capabilities.
