Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment

pacopico writes "Telsa Motors has started churning out 500 of its all electric Model S sedans per week. Bloomberg Businessweek just did a cover story about the company, suggesting that Tesla is becoming more than just a fad of rich folks in California. According to the story, 75 percent of Tesla's sales now come from outside of California, and the company appears poised to raise its sales forecasts for the year. There's a lot of talk about Tesla's history and why it survived when Fisker and Better Place failed too."

See folks, this is how you troll.

Watch closely, and learn.

Because Tesla is supposedly becoming successful.

If the iPhone is like Tesla, then the new Windows smartphones would be like a Yugo.

At least they didn't mention Travon.

If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon driving a Tesla.

No Tesla car is worthy of his name without it being able to generate 5 meter long arcs of electricity on demand.

No Tesla car is worthy of his name without it being able to generate 5 meter long arcs of electricity on demand.

Think if it ... as a project.

Get one of these cars, wire a transformer into it and place a couple electrodes on the hood. While you are waiting at lights you could press a button and make arcs dance across the hood of your car and impress the homeboys with their pitiful flatulent exhausts and audio with something massively cool.

You could also work it into vehicle protection. (Please be neat and carry a whisk broom to sweep away the dust of those who attempted to break in.)

Pretty soon Tesla will have sold as many cars as De Lorian.

I thought it was an apples to electric cars comparison?

So, you can't replace the battery?

That's what I think when something is compared to an iPhone.
