Friends: 12 | Re: Tesla Gets $350 Million Federal Loan for Model S I see nothing wrong with Tesla getting the funds, they should get more as a matter of fact. They'd probably spend it much more wisely than - oh - Merrill Lynch for example |

Friends: 23 | Re: Tesla Gets $350 Million Federal Loan for Model S Sweet, at least the money's going to be put to good use, rather than, - oh I don't know - used to lobby for more money? |

Friends: 8 | Re: Tesla Gets $350 Million Federal Loan for Model S I am a huge Tesla Motors fan (see my sig below) and I am thrilled that they are getting the loan money. Tesla has done more to change the perceptions of electric vehicles than any other company. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Tesla Gets $350 Million Federal Loan for Model S I presume the Model S is the expensive sporty sedan. I won't be in the market for it if my electric Porsche actually materializes. But had it been available earlier I'd have jumped on it. One problem: Like the Roadster, it probably will involve a long waiting list, because lots of people are going to want one! |
