It was alot of boring reading and it was back when it was first published but I am fairly certain that the new plugin credit referenced the same not subject to AMT verbiage as the solar or else it was an identical section.

This of course was before it got to the IRS and tax accountants.

Today's email from Tesla:

In response to our customers many questions with regards to the options price increase, new options, and new announcements, Tesla will host two town hall style meetings at its Los Angeles and Menlo Park Stores. The meeting will be hosted by Elon Musk and other staff members. If you can, please join us at one of the meetings either in person or by telephone.

Monday, January 26 Tesla L.A. Store
Tuesday, January 27 Tesla Menlo Park Store

Looks like the story will be in tomorrow's SF Chronicle.

In unusual move, Tesla charging extra for pre-ordered cars - SFGate.com

Quote:
Almost 400 people are still on the waiting list for Tesla's 2008 roadster. The company notified them of the pricing changes last Friday, and Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk will meet with some customers in Northern and Southern California next week.

"None of them has canceled yet, and we certainly hope they don't," said Tesla spokeswoman Rachel Konrad. But we can understand if they're upset."
I'd guess most people will wait for the town hall meetings before they make up their minds.

Town hall meetings are good for a time of PR crisis.

They are!

But it is a bit annoying that they only happen when Tesla is in the middle of a PR crisis. They had 2 around a year ago when dealing with the Martin firing thing... but as soon as that crisis passed, they dropped having them. They talked about having more at different times, but it never happened. It seems only useful for them when there is a crisis to defuse - not for really for communication.

Don't we have 4 cancelations on these pages?

And many more who will cancel if this move is not reversed?
