Well there's one of those north of the New Hampshire/Massachusetts border...right next to the state liquor store...When the Model 3 comes out, I wonder how many people are going to go full ape and beat the crap out of each other over a supercharger spot.

Not if they have to pay for it, which is the deal with the Model 3.
Since Tesla has consistently failed to actually launch a car on the date it's initially stated, colour me unsurprised.no model 3s in 2017
You can't change the world unless you try. The problem I have with all the naysayers is that I get the feeling they want him and/or Tesla to fail.Stock are going down, not really good for Tesla, analyst are saying that this announce is pretty bad since it didnt take care of the worries people had on Model 3 release and other problem Tesla have, it just tried to show off without anything being really realistic.

Can confirm on my part it's merely journalistic cynicism. I don't want Tesla to fail, but the company's long-term success is far from guaranteed - making cars, as even enormous multinational car firms have discovered, is not an easy business.You can't change the world unless you try.

Delay?but you can't ignore the different delay on the Model 3
I agree, but we're a little early to be worrying about it yet.if they can't really deliver on preorder on model 3 it will bring more money problem.
This:Also the press wanted news on the auto-driven car and he avoided that too.

To clarify, journalistic cynicism is a healthy thing. It means investigating and reporting on things that aren't quite right rather than being swept up in the fanfare. Cynicism isn't an inherently bad thing - it means not simply taking things at face value.This:

I dont think all of them are, sure a part of them probably which for Tesla to fail but the report I've read are only based on financial analysis and not on if they like the firm or not.
I'm a huge fan of the Tesla model S but you can't ignore the different delay on the Model 3 and I know the previous model had some delay too, all of this is not promising for all the model 3 preorders and if they can't really deliver on preorder on model 3 it will bring more money problem. Also the press wanted news on the auto-driven car and he avoided that too.
People were expecting Elon Musk to make announcement on those trouble rather than what he said.
This:
I've heard they lose thousands per car, but I don't know where their financial reports are found (AFAIK they should be public)Like I said, what I'm talking about is not journalist report, its financial analysis report that comes from stock market people.
I'd not yet pay too much attention to "per car" figures because it's typically calculated in the present. While that sounds like it makes sense, no car company bases its projected costs on how a car may be performing half way into its production run.I've heard they lose thousands per car, but I don't know where their financial reports are found (AFAIK they should be public)
Any direction is appreciated.
Their plan should be:
1. Make their cars more reliable.
2. Make the cars available in more countries.

I'm not sure any of those factors is mutually exclusive with its performance, to the extent reducing one will facilitate another. Range is more an issue of the size of the car, depending on whatever the technology of the time means for battery density. Battery range isn't calculated while using the car's full performance any more than MPG is calculated using a car's full performance for conventional cars.I wonder exactly how much power it has and how much more range, interior quality or cheaper it could have been if it had more sensible performance specs for a family sedan.
Elon Musk has teased their upcoming Semi truck.
