As to the first part, sounds like you're on the right side of the issue. But if the big 3 were out of the picture would these other companies not be able to raise capital in the private market? Who are these companies? I haven't seen anything about them. Well, I have two friends who just bought Teslas. One actually got to drive it from the factory to the paint shop. Really, really neat cars! I have to wonder how they'd work out when it's twenty below and there's a foot of snow on the road. gr Cheers Martin |
