Big mistake to go public. Everything all of a sudden is about share price. Future product decisions will be made by a bunch of money hungry people that form the board of directors. The Company I work for went public and we've been buying back shares ever since. I know Tesla needs money but this isn't how you do it IMO.

I saw one in Manhatten a few days ago. It didnt stop traffic like a Ferrari or Lambo,but it did catch my eye and did look very good.The one i saw was black with no plates so i couldnt see all the details and lines of the car (it was driving in front of us)and it reminded me of a Lotus Elise. Anyway, this is definately a good looking car,price is a little steep.
