Nor would I.
I didn't promise a critique that you'd agree with. Nevertheless, I see you didn't address all of his points.
The real game changer is when solar becomes large enough to charge these cars while you work. Rarely does anyone drive 200 miles to work. And, it would be really simple to plug in your car while at work and drive home on a full charge. But, I'd prefer better bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, which is slowly but surely coming.
The Model 3 is going make or break them: http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-tesla-admits-20160511-snap-story.html
i didnt feel the need, its after all likely a paid hit piece from the old Detroit automakers
Yup, whatever you think about it, this is the put up or shut up product.
I agree that the article is an obvious hit piece. There have been multiple high dollar bailouts and concessions to poorly performing auto companies/industries for as long as I can remember. It actually takes some gall.
Just to be clear, I am not against government working with industry including helping from time to time with tax breaks and even temporary subsidies. I don't like the fact that it seems to have become a requirement. I would much rather government work on things like infrastructure that benefits a cross section of industry than constantly bolster. Not that this is one of those cases, there are a lot of benefits to everyone if this and other of Musk's companies are able to convert a promising technology to market.
That said, this company has been given a lot and it is time to be profitable.

Yeah. I start a new job at the end of the month and will have to briefly get on 280. Fortunately, I'll be going against traffic, so it won't be too bad.

Coming to a roadside near you.
Hopefully with the battery under warranty.

Say all you want about Tesla, etc., but if it weren't for the need that led to their development, we'd still be paying over $4.00 a gallon for gas.

I know the McDonald's in Destin, FL has a couple of charging stations. I won't be surprised to see fast food restaurants adopt that more and more as a way to get people to park there and snack for a while.

Our energy policy along with OPEC production obviously had a part in Tesla being able to develop to date (and other car companies moving to hybrids and full electrics) Oil just about priced themselves out of that market. As of now at least Saudia Arabia is trying to make sure that prices are where they maintain a market share while they look to diversify away from depending on oil so much.
Maybe. The fact that shale oil and fracking had the U.S. starting to bite into the market share played a big part. Saudi Arabia is still keeping the price down by producing for no other reason than to keep the market share. You won't see this on any whitehouse.gov energy policy page (It is all about not being able to drill or produce our way out of high gas prices), but Obama has always been one that wanted the prices to get up to a point where clean energy was attractive. He was wrong about not being able to produce our way to lower prices. Our ability to increase production caused the prices to go back down as much as anything.

A popular restaurant in Knoxville has charging stations at its locations.

It's not like McDonald's can attract customers with its food.

Video of a test drive. It actually has a setting for ludicrous speed. 0-60 in 3.1 sec.

I would imagine the average Tesla buyer doesn't eat at McDonald's a lot.
