and yet pretty much every state is trying to screw them.

Yep, the automotive lobby (dealers and manufacturers) are doing everything they can to stop them from selling cars.

And that's why the whole thing is that much cooler.

I'm sure the patent trolls like Apple don't approve of this.

Tesla clearly understands that it's not what you've got, it's what you give.

It actually makes a lot of sense business-wise. They're effectively outsourcing R&D at a dramatically reduced cost. It's a simple process. Release your ideas, let smaller outfits develop on them, then buy those smaller outfits and fuse their ideas with your more advanced infrastructure.

TSLA getting a nice bump today

Elon musk is the man.

And his girlfriend is smoking hot.

If anything they'd use a 4" windshield and say it's the perfect size.
