ha, just catching up on this. forgot about that. and, actually, i was just thinking yesterday or the day before that Musk probably chose the name as a reference to the Model T.

You know, I saw a documentary on Henry Ford on PBS the other day. That’s where I learned about how he went through the alphabet with the “model” letters until the model “T” was proven a robust and reliable car and sales took off. I think Mr. Musk was thinking of Henry Ford when he named his first car the Model S (hint: BEFORE “T” in the alphabet).

The K street location is not a supercharger but a Tesla retail location, similarly good for visibility but not quite what shiggity was suggesting.

The corrupt nature of Texas politics will never let it happen as long as the current legislature and andministration are in office. Car dealers in Texas have unusual power.

YES! I hope Mr. Musk considers a 10 year finance option to make these cars affordable for the average American. Henry Ford made over 15 million Model Ts before he finally changed to the Model A. There is NO REASON for the General Motors STUPID introduction of a new model every year when a car is made to last AT LEAST ten years!
If anybody reading THIS can put a bug in Musk’s ear about long term, low interest financing, please do. :>)

You mean like the one at 1050 K Street?

They should make a statement and put a supercharger station somewhere directly inside Washington DC for politicians to see every day.

Wonderful News. Texas is Oil state and that’s their motive to ban Tesla.

But people will buy it from neighboring states.

They can easily drive it home as Texas has 1500 + EV charging stations.
