I can't believe this article detnews.com | The Detroit News | Manny Lopez |
I found this after reading the Autobloggreen.com article that discusses it. I mean I can kind of understand that someone may have an opinion like this but he did very little research for a reporter such as saying
"Tesla has reportedly sold a few hundred Roadsters and with a price tag of $80,000 (reduced from $109,000 coincidentally just before the loans were announced) most of us will never get behind the wheel of one. "
Where did he get the $80,000? I assume he skimmed some article saying Tesla had reduced their cost to build the roadster from $140,000 to $80,000.
I liked the line about him complaining about "But that's not how our dollars should be spent, propping up millionaires and billionaires, who, unlike their Detroit CEO brethren, fly in private planes when they're not toying around town in their electric cars." Like the Big 3 CEOs have never flown on private jets before.
I sent him an e-mail pointing this out. We'll see if he responds.
