well...Morgan Stanley targets TSLA at 320
sometimes the after party can be just as banging
Ok you agree with the caveat I said then gotcha. The reason about being late is lets be honest how many people really have the money to get enough shares at that price to get as many to make a difference?

you are not thinking deep enough
the folks who bough at 25 are later than the folks who bought before the ipo
what difference does the share price make if one is planning to invest in stocks regardless? percentage is percentage regardless of what the share price is

You're right I'm not thinking deep because im talking about right here on this messageboard. Like I said most people don't have that type of money to invest to make a difference is all I'm saying. Yeah you can buy a few shares but to make the biggest gains you have to get in early and ride the big waves. Don't understand how you don't see what I'm talking about from that regard.

Ohio auto dealers are sparring with California-based automaker Tesla, which is selling its electric cars from two Ohio storefronts.

Ohio is among states proposing to block Tesla from setting up additional direct-sales galleries on grounds they undercut traditional auto dealerships. Last Tuesday, New Jersey officials approved a regulation effectively prohibiting automakers from going straight to customers. Tesla vice president Diarmuid O'Connell visited Ohio legislative leaders that same day to try to discourage them from passing similar restrictions.

"The bill would shut down our ability to grow in the Ohio market and, frankly, it's just a first step to them shutting down our existing businesses," O'Connell said. "This is the pattern we see in other states."

The administration of Republican Gov. John Kasich, through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, issued a license to Tesla authorizing the company to open its own stores in Cincinnati and Columbus.

Joe Cannon, a lobbyist for the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association, told lawmakers in testimony last week that the decision means Ohio's longstanding licensing rules "have been thrown upside down."

The association filed unsuccessful legal action against Tesla's two existing Ohio stores, so now is fighting for passage of a bill that would prevent Tesla from expanding to other locations.

Ohio dealers—with 830 dealerships, 50,000 employees and $2 billion in payroll annually—say their businesses can only prosper when the law separates manufacturers and dealers. They view the license Ohio granted to Tesla as opening a Pandora's box.

crazy how online websites like amazon and netflix can compete against brick and mortar franchises like best buy and radio shack putting circuit city out of business but a company that can actually make a significant change to society can get bullied.
"rent seeking"

These old ass Oil execs are afraid of the future and still pull out regressive methods to keep things stagnated.

This isn't about oil execs trying to stop Tesla. Selling directly to consumers has been a challenge for a very long time, long before Tesla Motors came out. It's more about the power of the car dealerships and less about oil execs being upset.

If Tesla decided to sell through a dealership, they wouldn't have these legal issues.

Here's a planet money podcast on the subject

Tesla isn't being picked on or bullied. No car manufacturer (Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, GMC) can sell directly to consumers.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:

that's because dealerships buy from the manufacturers. They make money whether the dealership sells them or not. Selling directly to consumers actually is more of a challenge and it creates more competition.

it's been a while since i listened to npr radio. i used to fuq with it heavy in 08-11

now only when i'm driving.

Outside of planet money, I don't listen to NPR. Usually listen to the podcast on my commutes. They're series on the making of the planet money t-shirt was interesting as hell. I began fukking with them in 2008 when they broke down the financial crisis. shyt had me like :ohhh:

that's because dealerships buy from the manufacturers. They make money whether the dealership sells them or not. Selling directly to consumers actually is more of a challenge and it creates more competition.

I know that, I replied to your quote because you implied Tesla is being bullied. My whole point was whether it's Bugatti or Tesla, it's illegal in this country in most states to sell directly to consumers.

actually yes they are
as are all the other manufacturers, who just happen to lay down and play nice
TESLA says fukk that and rightly so
and if there WAS a law against it then why did Cristy have to NOW enact anything to ban it
he would have just punished Tesla for breaking the law
