Typical 'merica today. May as well stop calling it America and start calling it Failure Nation.

Guy starts a company from nothing and builds it into multiple billion dollar businesses and half the country wants to tear him down.

What happened to Failure Nation that we now hate success?

Funded by the taxpayer? You have to be kidding me. Have you seen the PRICE of a Tesla? Nobody on welfare is getting free Teslas courtesy of the taxpayer.

BTW, the taxpayer subsidizes EVERYONE who owns a car. Yeah, even you. Only an idiot would believe that gas and vehicle taxes alone pay for all the roads and bridges that you're driving on. Every car in this country is subsidized by the taxpayer because roads don't build or maintain themselves.

Ponzi scheme? Laughable. It's a publically traded company. The books are open. You can't run a ponzi scheme where others can see the books.

I know this last one will be a shocker, but the target market for Tesla is NOT a bunch of antique equipment lovers on an old tractor forum. The internal combustion engine took over 100 years to become to the marvel it is today and now a bunch of people here in Failure Nation wants to brand electric cars a failure because in less than 15 years of serious large-scale commercial development they aren't everything the ICE powered car is now.

A lot of the reaction to Tesla is really a kneejerk reaction to Musk's personality. News flash for you. By all historical accounts, most of you wouldn't have liked Henry Ford had you met him in person. It amazes me here in Failure Nation that people are mentally incapable of separating "like the person" from "appreciating the achievement".

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
