Tesla Loses $154m In 2010

What's sad is that you had a chance here to provide a well-reasoned argument from your own point of view, even opportunity to link to proof supporting your assertions. But you blew it all by acting like a child and name-calling. Kudos.

Good luck for your start-up.

Lighten up, Potatoes. No need to be smug, especially since you're just miffed that I came down on your guy, the Obaminator. And, this is a combo-box comment on a car site, not a peer reviewed economic journal, for crying out loud. But let's all get real. Both you and I know that the only reason a company like Telsa is in business is because of government subsidies to the electric-car infrastructure and the associated manufacturing base. And also because of consumer rebates. This entire thing should have been put to rest long ago. And who needs links to support my opinions. All I need to do is to ask whether you've invested YOUR personal money in Telsa? I thought not. Case closed.

*sigh* I'm just tired of people such as yourself making snide, useless, uninteresting, knee-jerk, Beck-ish comments. If you're going to take a sitting president to task, do it over REAL issues. The continued warrantless wiretapping program, etc. There are sure to be plenty more coming down the line. I don't put much stock in ANY politicians, and believe that if they had to take a simple math test based on their proposed policies to qualify for elected office, not one of them would pass. I've been speaking out against Tesla over at Engadget and linking back here to TTAC about how they shouldn't be around much longer because of the blinding cash burn they've got going on. But that's neither here nor there, good day, sir.
