Re: Tesla's cabriolet, crossover plans
i read a report (guardian or telegraph, forgotten which one) yesterday that tesla is effectively bankrupt, and relying on the stock market flotation to raise some cash. however we'll see how long it lasts after the initial offering. another case of don't believe the hype. aimed mainly at eco-celebrities it has a pretty small market, especially when mainstream manufacturers are now bringing out there own hybrid sports cars.
Re: Tesla's cabriolet, crossover plans
have these investors seen the Tesla?. It's build quality looks like its made out of washing up bottles and assembled in a garden shed.
